... View MoreIncendies is a movie starring Lubna Azabal, Mélissa Désormeaux-Poulin, and Maxim Gaudette. Twins journey to the Middle East to discover their family history and fulfill their mother's last wishes. The acting is good and the cinematography looks like there has been a pretty good work with it but 'Incendies' is a very slow paced and boring drama that doesn't really do much, the message that it tries to sell also lacks dramatic depth plus with a rating so high anyone besides me would expect something wonderful and just strong but i guess this film isn't one of those strong movies. The Top 250 movies of all time has alot of junk and this one is no different i'm afraid. (0/10)
... View MoreThis film was just before the mass imigration from syria. The goal of this movie was probably to change ppl view on musilism ppl. They never mentionned once the word musilism, but you hear christian often, and guess who are the christians, THE EVIL PPL.Oh well, sadly im from where denis villeneuve is born and it totaly fits with tghe politic here, clearly a leftist propaganda movie
... View MoreI do not want to talk about the movie's technical issues. It is apparent that it has some technical issues. But from the story of view, it is just heart hitting. After watching the movie, you feel like something big like a rock is sitting on your heart inside. It clearly makes you feel how is it like to be a middle eastern.Worth to watch even only for this part.----spoiler----Is 1+1 = 2, is 1+1=1? -----spoiler----
... View MoreThank you to the film-makers of Incendies for making such a moving and beautiful film.I cannot rate this film high enough. In terms of a film, it scores 10/10 on every scale that a film can be rated on. Plot, interest, link to reality, beautiful cinematography without being artsy. If you do not like this film, then I imagine you simply just do not like films. People criticising it on IMDb were probably looking for a history documentary or TV drama. It is captivating from the start. And it really holds your interest right up till the credits show at the end.I read the summary of the film and I wasn't expecting much. A history quest in Middle East isn't a film I would go for, but that is totally the wrong description of this film. This film is about who you are and your history which starts from your parents and what we think we know and what is actual. In its essence, it is about a mother striving.Someone wrote that it's not a feel-good movie, but I disagree. It is a movie that jolts you back to reality and makes you count your blessings. But it doesn't shy away from the gruesome callousness of the world. It is a needed film because there is so much war in the world, especially in the Middle East, but the film doesn't try to patronise or teach us about war. The film is about a mother and her love.It is not a film to watch with your family and maybe not for the faint-hearted either. But it is a film if you want a true look at the different forms reality can take in this world.
