SUMMER WARS


Production: MADHOUSE
Director: Mamoru Hosada
Release: DVD and BluRay by Kaze

For the young student of Kenji Summer is quickly becoming a nightmare, because a virus-like Artificial intelligence is out for him and brings the world order completely confused by sabotage of a large network. First you have to face Kenji against charges of crime data, soon, however, concerns much more ...

The [animated] Social Network

SUMMER Wars boasts a successful presentation of "OZ" a large, weltumgreifenden network - operate in the meantime all the inhabitants of this planet - a kind of Facebook 2.0. The real and the digital world are already veschmolzen completely with each other if there are problems in one world, it also interfered with life in the "other" world. Exactly in der Darstellung dieser Abhängigkeit ist der Film besonders stark und bringt einige sehr bemerkenswerte Gedanken über unser gegenwärtiges soziales Zusammenleben in die unterhaltsame und locker erzählte Geschichte um den Elftklässler Kenji und seine Familie, welche gemeinsam die Welt retten. Das oft für Qualität bürgende Studio MADHOUSE [PARANOIA AGENT, DEATH NOTE] zeichnet sich für die Produktion dieses schönen Animes aus. Das Design und die Animationen sind in diesem Film von allererster Güte und stellen wohl momentan die Referenz bezüglich der Bildgestaltung der Gattung "Anime" dar, besonders die Darstellung von OZ zeugt von einigen sehr kreativen Köpfen hinter dem Konzepttisch.
2D- und 3D-Animationen verchmelzen hier zu einer organischen Einheit und sind optisch nicht voneinander zu unterscheiden - ein Fest für die Augen.

Nichts kommt von ungefähr

Regisseur Mamoru Hosada erregte schon großes Aufsehen durch den Blockbuster DAS MÄDCHEN, DAS DURCH DIE ZEIT SPRANG, mit SUMMER WARS füllte er letztes Jahr die Kinosäle Japans erneut und war damit sehr erfolgreich. Der Film war übrigens der erste Anime, der je beim Internationalen Filmfestival von Locarno aufgeführt wurde und schaffte es auch auf viele andere renommierte Festivals wie z.B. die Berlinale, Sitges oder das Leed International Filmfestival.

SUMMER WARS erschien unter dem Label Kazé in einigen tollen Editionen, welche einem die Kaufentscheidung nicht leicht machen. Neben der "Standart"-DVD gibt es ein sehr schön gestaltetes Digipack mit einem hübschen Booklet, einigen Aufklebern und interessanten Hintergrundinfos zum Film, dann wäre da noch die wirklich gelungene Bluray-Ausgabe, welche mit einer beindruckenden Bild- und Tonqualiät des in HD preoduzierten Animes aufwarten kann - Absolute Kaufempfehlung!

WALLSTREET 2


Regie: Oliver Stone
Buch: Alan Loeb
Starring: Michael Douglas, Shia LaBeouf, Carey Mulligan, Susan Sarandon, Eli Wallach

WALL STREET, Oliver Stone's critical assessment of the stock market in 1987 is, rightly well as one of the great classics of film history - everything fits in perfectly! As so often holds true: a successful work should be allowed to rest in peace at best, especially when such a catastrophic nonsense like WALL STREET 2 - THE MONEY NEVER SLEEPS is mortised.

Wall Street - Rest in Peace

Why is it that Oliver Stone's latest film has gone completely in the shorts? First you have the director of the slope to absolute superficiality attest. It starts with the fact that you actually a metaphor for the collapse of the stock market by the uninspired image of a bursting bubble. In this film, the Internet is still depicted with colorful tunnels and glowing letters, which are reflected on the Faces, the people. In general, the entire stock market looks like it had sprung from the 1995s movies HACKERS - There is a lack of credibility on the one hand, on the other side feels the wooden symbols kidding plain and simple. Oliver Stone sets date by his action tinkering around the banking crisis, but this seems so designed and wooden, it's that, as an audience just do not feel taken seriously. MONEY NEVER SLEEPS suffers from a significant symbolism of allowing a subtle style can be no question anymore. What was the original nor a critical look behind the facades of the stock market, here gives way to a listless rolled down soap opera without structure and tension. Shia LaBeauf [TRANSFORMERS 1-28] gives the terribly unpleasant and stupid young brokers and is visibly overwhelmed, while Josh Brolin [NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN] in the role of instant villain is probably the one-dimensional performance of his career.

A point goes to the soundtrack

The film is a long playing time of over langweillig two hours just terrible, which is due to the confused and often trivial story of revenge and relationships because hilt not a pretentious or forced upon the motorcycle race short guest appearance by Charlie Sheen. The only thing worth seeing [or worth listening to] the great soundtrack by Brian Eno and Talking Heads frontman David Byrne. Only a little message at the end: Dear Oliver Stone, after such terrible films such as Alexander, WORLD TRADE CENTER and now WALL STREET 2 - THE MONEY NEVER SLEEPS, it would be finally time to retire. Please do us this favor.
