DOROTHY MILLS (Agnès Merlet, 2008)

People are so much egotistic and they tend to try to achieve their happiness without caring about how much they can hurt someone or not. This movie is a very well example of this. Dorothy Mills (Jenn Murray)is a young complicated girl who is accused for having killed a little baby. Nevertheless, the investigation is quite difficult because she is said to suffer some mental problems and that is why a psychiatrist is sent to her village in orther to study Dorothy. There, some odd things happen, which keep the audience in suspense during the whole movie. Dorothy is available to talk with three dead youngs who died in a fatal "accident" that at the end of the movie is discovered. Moreover, this young lady is used by these three people's parents in orther to talk with their relatives so Dorothy gets possessed in so many times.
From my point of view, the use of ligths, shadows and even the composition of the scenes is wonderful so that the spectator feel worried and waiting for what is going to happen next. I do not think this is really a horror film, it is more about suspense and so on even though the make-up of the girl and the strange happenings may disturb the spectator. Anyway, the story itself is quite sad and has made me think about how selfish people are because this film could be considered as well a kind of metaphor of life.

THE VOW (Michael Sucsy, 2012)



Life can give you another opportunity to make your beloved to fall in love with you again. Yet, I do not think this is an opportunity but a painful punishment. How can you look at the love of your life when she or he had forgotten you? How can you live? How can you overcome the fact that the person you love the most will never remember your face again? I do not think I could overcome this, though I would do the same as Leo (Channing Tatum), who tries to re-win the heart of Paige (Rachel McAdams).



Even when he feels everything is lost and even when he sees that his wife is trying to flirt with another man. Even then he is in love with her and he tries her to be in love with him again. Even then... Probably all these happenings - as well as the fact that the Leo's voice is heard during all the movie, narrating his feelings - makes de viewer to be identified with him and shows his point of view more than hers. That is why this movie makes the spectator to feel like if it were Leo. And these feelings are horrible... but at the same time beautiful.

This movie is... NO WORDS.



I think the crew which has filmed this movie has made a really good job because this movie really moves the spectator and makes it to be involved with the characters and to empathize with them. Actually, I do not know the rest of the people bu I have felt as this painful love story were mine; and that is what I absolutly search in a movie.
In my opinion, this movie will be one of those favourite films I see when I feel sensitive, such as the case of the great success The Notebook (Nick Cassavetes, 2004).
Wonderful movie, wonderful emotions... I just can add:

"I vow to seriously love you, in all your forms, now and forever. I promise to never forget that this is a once in a lifetime love. I vow to love you and no matter what challenges might carry us apart, we will always find a way back to each other."
