  1. Si pred ogledom Alpha Papa morda gledal tudi serijo ali si šel kar "na suho"? Zelo me zanima kako se nekdo, ki mu lik ni poznan odziva na film, ker je pri meni na oceno zagotovo vplivala seznanjenost z likom :)

  2. Ne, nisem poznal (gledal) serijo. Po mojem, če si s serijo seznanjen, lahko najdeš nekaj tudi "iz ozadja" oz. zgodovine likov (kar posledično pozitivno vpliva na končno oceno), ni pa to bilo nujno potrebno za dober film. Tudi tistega Cooganovega šova z Brydonom nisem poznal (ali pa je serija nastala po filmu?), pa mi je The Trip bil odličen. Alpha Papa pač nekoliko manj ...

  3. Hmm, za The Trip niti nisem vedela, da obstaja tudi serija, ampak stric google pravi da je bila serija samo "edited into a feature film", tako da sta očitno eno in isto, bo treba tudi to pogledati. Se strinjam, da za uživanje v filmu ni nujno pogledati tudi serije. Je bil pa sam koncept Alana Partridga za film kar spremenjen, najbrž ravno zato da bi bil všeč tudi tistim, ki niso seznanjeni s serijo, zato me je zanimalo ali je bilo uspešno, ker so vse reviewje, ki sem jih brala pisali tisti, ki so gledali serijo. No, kakorkoli, če boš imel kdaj 20minut odvečnega časa vseeno priporočam tudi serijo, tudi če ti film ni bil top, če nič drugega za primerjavo.

  4. Kaj pa ali si videl Short Term 12... ta film že nekaj časa kraljuje pod must-see in mi zelo zanima tvoja ocena
    Kako pa je s Kapitanom Phillipsom zakaj tako visoka ocene me je zelo presenetilo ter seveda,že zelo zanima saj si ga ogledam danes

    OdgovoriIzbriši
  5. Ne, Short Term 12 še ni moč videti - sem ga postavil pod 33 must see filme, ki jih lahko najdeš na koncu zapiska mojih naj filmov v letu 2013.
    Si gledal Kapringen? V bistvu je Phillips akcjska verzija danskega filma. Sam imam zelo rad Greengrassov stil podajanja zgodbe + všeč mi je bilo tudi to (kar je nekoga motilo), da si ni vzel čas za politična vprašanja ali pridiganju globalnih problemov. Tako kot v United 93 (kjer bi lahko bilo še vse bolj patriotsko) se je skoncentriral le na določen trenutek, ter ga v dveh urah kar se da intenzivno prikazal. To mu je po mojem uspelo.
