Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) This Brazilian book-based short film fits as much information as possible in its 13 minutes. Most of it is about basic economic connections in random people's everyday life, for example how they buy goods, sell them for more money and use this money to buy food for their families. But apart from this economic context, there are also references to history, agriculture, environment, freedom and society in general. Here and there, it is slightly funny, but as a whole I found this short film fairly forgettable. I am surprised it is so popular and highly rated. Maybe people mistake a fast movie for a good movie. Also the title couldn't be any more random. It looks like a decent student movie and there is nothing really outstanding about it, even taking into account that it was made over 25 years ago. Jorge Furtado was not even 30 when this was made and he has been enjoying a prolific career in the last almost 30 years. I guess he must have improved a lot since then as there is nothing particularly memorable about his work here. Not recommended.

dropshop This film is amazing and I consider it the best one I've seen so far. This documentary is not simply about information, it is about conveying a message to the audience and getting them to fully digest the gravity of the director's message. What it does is to take simple information and piece it together in a creative way with cut-out visuals and animation, as well as real-time footage, engaging the audience in a way that is unfamiliar to the pop movie goer. At the same time, Furtado does well to entertain the audience with witty lines and states the obvious to drive into the viewer's mind that we often ignore the obvious, and the problem he eventually highlights is one of them. Kudos. Love it.

jordani Jorge Furtado needed no more than 13 minutes to prove his theory "there's no God", showed in the beginning of the movie. This movie is as raw as fresh meat and cuts like a knife. No more words to describe. You must see it for yourself. Believe me, after you watch this movie you won't forget it never more.

Trufó Funny at first, demolishing in the end. When I saw this movie for the first time I spend the first minutes laughing: the editing is fast paced and the voice over explains one after another different concepts that apparently are barely connected. But in the end all grows into a perfectly mounted description of the economical and political aberrations of our times, all in less than 30 minutes.
