The Water Diviner



Russell Crowe stars in and directs the story of a man searching for the bodies of his three deceased sons, years after they've all been killed during the battle of Gallipoli. One would think such a task hopeless, but Russell Crowe's character Connor can sense the presence of water, which grants his him the ability to locate the bodies of family members because... wait... how does that work? *Shrug*

The setting is charged: the British are in an uneasy occupation of Turkey, collecting their war dead post WWI, the Allies are partitioning the country (wonder how that will turn out), the Greeks are invading, and the Turkish rebels are not taking their presence lightly. Somewhere in the background, a genocide, unmentioned in this movie, has recently taken place.

The movie is an enjoyable, somewhat simplified, historic drama. As someone unfamiliar with most of these events, I found the film at least interesting enough to go look up some Wikipedia articles.

Yeah, but in those old storylines ultron looked like this

History of the World Part 1

History of the World Part 1

Thank you. I've been trying to figure this one out for a while. 

[Dermain]

Django Unchained.

 

Entertaining movie despite the realistic/silly looking blood. 

 

Captain America The Winter Soldier.

 

Thor the Dark World.

 

X-Men Days of Future Past.

 

The comic book movies while entertaining, had way too many oddities that defied physics/logic even for the settings (comic books),

[Volcanthe]

Interstellar

X-Men: Days of Future Past

The Incredibles

Brother Bear

 

In other words, whatever was on TV that isn't super boring to me. Except for Interstellar, I bought the DVD for that. Enjoyed the movies and would watch them again!

Blacklist is a good TV show; he makes it great.

The thing that pisses me off in comic book movies is how everyone can visit an alien world and not have to worry about life support.

 

Like Peter Quill on Morag. Sure he lands with his fancy nanotech helmet / breather but then turns it off when inside the ruins.... OK I am not buying that one bit that almost every planet in any orbit of any star is able to support human life.

 

Also the fact that when the Guardians do make it back to Earth it will be the present day and there's no relativistic effects...... Sure maybe Peter's ship has a FTL drive that happens to negate time dilation...

 

Ok it annoys me. But I can live with it after all they are comic book stories which never follow the laws of physics anyway.

 

Even Iron Man. Stark should have broken bones and stuff from all the nonsense he does in those movies in the suit.

* Nanotech re-breathers in the lungs perhaps?

* Aliens have concered relativity; also never had Einstein....

* Inertial dampeners have been standard Sci-Fi tech for years.

While I may crash and burn in applying real science, Fantasy and other fictional realms are my sandbox.

We are re-watching the Prophecy trilogy. I don't know why they get such low ratings. Christopher Walken is wonderful and for a cult kind of movie they are top draw.

So we're pretending that Uprising and Forsaken don't exist?

[CassandraSaturn's Ring]

American Beauty with the director's commentary on.

Is that the one with the poster of a mutated bear embryo or something?

That one was about a mutated bear created by Mercury poisoning; this one is about the Apocalypse, I believe.

I'm familiar with all those events. Armenian genocide by Ottomans, forcing Greeks to leave their western Anatolia cities, the pathetic war of Greece-Turkey which ended up Greeks getting thrown out of Anatolia forever. Ottomans were savages and massacres (to make everyone Turk and expand their territories) are the worst crime, Greeks plundered and burned some cities while retreating as a lost cause reaction. Not similar crimes at all.

Oh OK. Just the title brought that movie right to my memory as I'd seen it a couple of times..

 

And what happens during the apocalypse in this movie?

 

OMG that trailer looks kind of interesting.. I like movies like that.

 

But they changed things a little from the bible.

 

Why would angels be jealous that humans have a soul?

Biblically, mankind will judge angels. And because we have souls, in the film some angels become jealous, and wish to reclaim their favored status, and are warring for the privilege.

Personally, it is a forgettable movie. I much prefer CW in The Dead Zone; one of the better Stephen King based films.
