VHS Movie Reviews of Once Upon a Time Cinema (Sub) [VHS]
Movie Review: Makhmalbaf will mesmerize you....
Summary: 5 Stars
Once Upon a Time, Cinema is one of the best Iranian movies I have seen to date. Montages of old Iranian movies are beautifully incorporated into the main story giving it a very surreal yet nostalgic effect. I found the story to be similar in concept as movies like "The Purple Rose of Cairo" and "Cinema Paradiso" where the line between reality and dream is sometimes unrecognizable and the magnetizm of the silver screen can make you believe anything. Mohsen Makhmalbaf is an amazing director.Movie Review: Death and Re-birth of the love of cinema in iran
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the Best Iranian movies; that i have ever watched. Mohsen Makhmalbaf start's the movie by showing us A Charlie Chaplin look a like man that is a cinematographer that is sent in time to introduce the art of cinema to the Shah father so that it could be introduced and be excepted. So he needs his approval. The Shah fall's too deep into this art form for a reason that i don't want to give too much so that the viewer has to watch the movie. But too give the inner meaning to the film is that this art wasn't meant to be even if this cinematographer had to go to all this trouble to make them except it. At the end of the movie a series of montages that shows the viewer the Iranian cinema that it is today. /TWO THINGS I CAME OUT WITH THE BASED ON THE ENDING AND MENNING OF THE MOVIE 1- DEATH AND RE-BIRTH OF THE IRANIAN CINEMA 2- THE ART OF MOVIE MAKING WAS CARRIED LIKE A CHILD IN THE HART OF FILM MAKERS TILL IT'S BIRTH AND EXCEPTIN IN IRAN. FUNNEY AND POETIC.
