(movie) A Man Called Otto(2022) – solidan remake odličnog predloška

Prije nekoliko godina sam gledao odličan švedski film A Man Called Ove iz 2015.godine prema knjizi Fredrika Backmana. Naravno, kako to biva, Amerikanci odnosno Hollywood napravi svoj remake kako ne bi morali čitati titlove u kinima, pa evo i A Man Called Otto. Priča govori o čovjeku zvanom Otto Anderson koji živi u jednom ograđenom naselju i grumpy je starac koji voli rutinu i da ništa ne poremećuje njegova pravila po kojima živi. Otto isto tako svako malo pokušava umrijeti kako bi se pridružio jedinoj ljubavi, supruzi, sve dok se u naselje ne dosele novi susjedi koji mu nedaju mira i stvari u njegovom životu se okrenu naglavačke. Priča istovremeno povremeno prati Ottovu prošlost odnosno mladost. Mnogi kritiziraju Tom Hanksa da u zadnje vrijeme ili glumi loše, ili glumi u lošim filmovima što ovdje za mene nije slučaj. Smatram da si je uglavnom uvijek znao odabrati dobre filmove u kojima će igrati. Da nisam gledao original i da ne postoji odlična knjiga, smatrao bih ovim filmom odličnim. No, ipak je inferioran u nekim segmentima švedskom originalu. Tamo je više pažnje posvećeno paralelnoj priči o Ottovom životu, roditeljima, školovanju i više je crnog humora, a manje, nazovimo ga holivudskog patosa.

Gluma: 7,5/10 sjekira – svi glumci su sasvim u redu, cijela postava, jedini koji mi je malo štekao i nije se uklopio je Truman Hanks, stvarni Tom Hanksov sin koji glumi mladog Otta.

Zaključak: 8/10 sjekira – solidan remake odličnog predloška, miks komedije, crnog humora, drame i melodrame, dramedy ako se tako mogu izraziti. Gledati.

Finnish hardcore metal band HEATHEN HEARTS unleashes Northern Hardcore with new video ‘Starve the Machine’!

Kotka-based hardcore metal gang HEATHEN HEARTS comes back with its ‘Northern Hardcore’ in the form of the newest single ‘Starve the Machine’Taken from the band’s upcoming EP ‘No Light Left To Chase’, the new trackstands out as the only mid-tempo fist in the face song of the EP. It differs from the overall fast and more traditional hardcore sound which helps the Finnish metal and the melodic side of the band to shine through.

The band had this to say about ‘Starve the Machine’:
‘The song was the first one we wrote and completed after our first EP was written. The music video is a straight sequel to the ‘World of Ash’ from our first EP and also starred the same young actress who was already on the previous video. We will not reveal the actual idea of either of the videos, but if you watch them and pay attention, it might be quite obvious. ‘Starve the Machine’ was again directed, filmed and edited by our trusted man Jari Heino, and the cinematic look and the colors of the video matches to the overall sound of the song perfectly.’
