VHS Movie Reviews of Wittgenstein [VHS]
Movie Review: Wittgenstein - hard explain as good to see.
Summary: 5 Stars
There is interesting point in this movie, focus on the people not on a space. I'm a set designer, and always during my research in the movies, I collect my videos, as specialise on a oridinary ideas, and this is one is one of those. I thing, so no one can show better that things, like Derek Jarman. Because, his is special. And I find this work as the best from him. His indicate people with light and color, like a Caravagio painter. They come from anywere and go to anywere Like nothing is so important, have this people around him.Movie Review: I love this crazy movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wittgenstein was not only a philosophical giant, but also a facinating personality. He was: gay, but conflicted and ashamed of his sexuality; rich, but he gave away his vast fortune and worked as a laborer; brilliant and vain, but always embarrased by his writings; the darling of academia, even though he rejected the entire philosophical tradition; jewish, but a devout christian convert; brave in war, but lacked the courage to face himself or openly support jewish causes during the war.These strange contradictions are captured in this visually beautiful and surreal film (take a gander at the cover--that's supposed to be Wittgenstein as a boy--Bizzare!). Amid the beautiful lighting, wild colors, and elegant music, the philosophy is somewhat put on the back burner. But that's to be expected, and, if you watch it two or three times, you can pick up what some of Wittgenstein's major arguments were. Even if you don't it's still great fun--sort of philosophical drama with some off beat comedy thrown in. Watch slowly with an open mind and you're sure to enjoy it!
Movie Review: Very accurate snapshot of this quirky Austrian philosopher
Summary: 5 Stars
This film, which I saw on the big-screen at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston cinema venue in 1994, was my first introduction to Austrian linguistic Philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. In 1994 I was also beginning my graduate studies in German at Rice University. I was immediately turned on to Wittgenstein by the film (scripted by noted British marxist literary critic Terry Eagleton; --I have come to like Eagleton a great deal also) and have been reading about him and his philosophy ever since. From what I have read in Biographies and commentaries by those that knew L.Wittgenstein personally, the actor(s) protraying this reclusive, quirky Austrian intellectual do an excellent job in conveying Wittgensteins life, personality, and yes, even some of his philosophy, to an English speaking audience. Definite "High Brow" entertainment, especially for students of Philsophy and the German Language.Movie Review: A view of a Genius
Summary: 5 Stars
Very interesting movie of one of the brightest minds in the 20th Century. It is not a traditional one, the sets are often very surrealistic. All we have is some "imprints" or scenes with an interpretation of the life of this extraordinary thinker.
