It does not have his computer: With technology, the Japanese cartoon classic Hayao Miyazaki created a fairytale world that is in front of big productions like Avatar or Alice in Wonderland does not need to hide. On the contrary, the color and shapes, who have crafted the animators of Studio Ghibli here to the canvas, has a “real” than some creature owes her life to a computing machine. Ponyo – The great adventure on the sea / Gake no ue no Ponyo is a film for children and adults. And not only in the sense that adults have in the adventures of two five-year old fun. Director Miyazaki has woven actually two movies in one. One of them tells a story suitable for children in remote based on Hans Christian Andersen The little mermaid. The other way of association to reflect on what goes wrong in the human world. And this is more questions than answers. Philosophical, ecological, and psychodynamic issues. The small Ponyo is a goldfish girl who lives with his father and many siblings in the sea. Ponyo Actually, it lacks nothing, after all, her father, the stern magician Fujimoto, a powerful man but he frighten off Ponyos mother, the goddess of compassion. She no longer lives with the family. Whether out of a sense of lack or out of pure curiosity – one day books from Ponyo. This is a dangerous adventure. Ponyo ends up half dead on a beach, where they found the five year old Sosuke. From one second to the other Ponyo wants only one thing: Stay At Sosuke and a real human being with arms and legs and all that entails. The problem is: During the transition from fish to humans has released Ponyo magical powers of enormous destructive power. The sea is raging, threatening huge tsunami waves to drown like all of humanity. And no one knows how the whole thing is connected. While the children are offered in the auditorium chair an adventure may be the older viewers are looking forward to a representation of the sea, as it is sensuous hardly conceivable. Hayao Miyazaki has great opera and ballet at the same time. As choreographed as the jellyfish float across the screen, dancing swarms of fish develop their splendor. The sea is becoming the actors and provides links to streams of thought that do not need firm ground under their feet, but may be carried away easily. That nature strikes back, when a man robbed her something like, one come to mind. Or the thought of the psychological dimension of what grows under the surface. But the brooding about the fateful separation of magic from the rational, of instinct and intellect. The film is open to many interpretations – Friends of the Opera will certainly discover further allusions. In any case, the metaphor of the sea invites one to plunge into the depths. This must be one not. On the surface this film is life as varied and diverse. This is perhaps the greatest achievement of the director: the shallow currents of the deeper waters to flow into each other can be so elegant that the whole is a lively bubbling stream remains.

”Collect yourself, over and over again until the lambs to lions.” So it is written – as the title set to Ridley Scott’s “Robin Hood”, which opened today out of competition, the Cannes Film Festival, and engraved on the sword with which finds the hero’s determination: “The inscription on the sword that awakens something in me. I do not know what it is. I do not know. ” is there such a movie character unwittingly emphasized, it must have a special reason for using these words to himself. In Scott’s film adaptation of the Anglo-Saxon legend of Robin Hood recalls the saying of the fate of the title character. Time and time again, the archer as a corrupt government against the charge, up from the form of a medieval ballad has become completely different. Robin Hood is an impressive indeed staged, but little enigmatic example of such a demystification from. Robin Hood is not really Robin Hood. In the legend of a folk hero glorified aristocrat Robert of Loxley (Douglas Hodge), who in the 15th Century fought against the French is, in an early scene in the film an ambush for the victims. The fugitive deserter Robin Longstride (Russell Crowe) and his allies Little John (Kevin Durand) and Will Scarlett (Scott Grimes) find the deadly wounded. Loxley Robin takes to promise to hand over his sword with inscription said his father (Max von Sydow). Both Robin and Loxley fought before in the same army of King Richard the Lionheart (Danny Huston), who draws on his return from the Crusades rampaged through France. Persuaded by Sir Loxley, who risks the loss of his lands, Robin gives as his son, the husband returning Lady Marion’s (Cate Blanchett) from. Scott systematically gutted the legend, as he shows with harsh images, might look like the truth behind the oral tradition. Robin Hood is a down, a war-weary thief. And accordingly in its history, almost all just stolen: The clothes, the female partner, and even the name. The Robins arrived at the scene fades to legend, the initial claim to historical authenticity, however, quickly. This aged Robin Hood seems, it has only needed someone he assigns to its predetermined place in life and Populärgeschichte. Friar Tuck (Mark Addy) remains, however, as the “Merry Men” is only a brief appearance allowed, are of little more than a dutiful deal with the historical examples of that fictional characters. Even the Sheriff of Nottingham (Matthew MacFadyen) remains only a marginal figure. Fighting is here especially against French invaders, led by the dastardly Sir Godfrey (Mark Strong). What Scott is first to ban romanticizing, he now brings to the more intense. Probably the most popular tax evaders of the story, he idealizes the civil rights and national defense. But the more that grows hero with a false name in his new role, the more sobering, this heroic saga designed for the viewer. The change from critical to Geschichtsepos glorified adventure film does ultimately, can convince the Scotts completely out of competition at Cannes ongoing review in any category. The various discrepancies are also reflected in the characters, the actors can never fully develop. As the title hero, it also occurs on Scott’s film under a false name. For long stretches, like Robin Hood of a conglomeration of historical materials, which Scott did not necessarily film: Jeanne D’Arc, to the Marion rides into battle, Shakespearean theater and medieval war turmoil. The end shows the hero, all the legendary hero, in the picturesque Sherwood Forest, which covers Marion, according to “the nature of the table for all”. The sheriff said the outlaws for outlaws. Already an arrow pierced the warrant. “The legend begins.” Promises a title card – the guy in the cinema begins. One wishes the director had consistently turned a realistic historical drama or with reference to the words of another Mr. Scott acted: “When the legend becomes fact, the shoot overall.” (Lida Noir)

Equipped with laptops, MP3 players and smart as junior detectives (including the girl’s release rate), the three teens tricky cases in which it also is ever dangerous. The literature of the Austrian Thomas Brezina complex and was shot with a star cast of Peter Gersina. The school holidays have just started, and the three young detectives bored almost to death. That should change soon, for when they encounter a mysterious key in dragon form, their research lead directly to China to the moon palace, is framed by centuries-old myth. The three are the series heroes of child crime series Tiger Team, consisting of Biggi (Helena Siegmund-Schultze), which as a female counterpart in this detective club not get the shy role to play, but this is Patrick (Bruno Schubert) responsible for the in dangerous situations ever, the knees are shaking. Luk (Justus Kammerer), however, is the technical and can crack the trio girl’s heart beat faster. With his freckles and the smart smile in no time he seduces the audience, and he is also clever at that. He is also the one who discovers an Internet connection from the key to Chinese myth, and with a little trick, the trio invited to a trip to China, where they visit under the guise of a Pandafarm chasing the missing two keys. You are not the only dragon hunters, but the diabolical Q (Iris Berben) and her no less diabolical son Munroe (Stipe Erceg) are also resources on the search for those keys that allow them entry to the moon palace and thus immense, too. Q has done especially the elixir of eternal life, which is among the treasure goods. Now begins a race with time, and the little detectives are exposed to many dangers, but they cope brilliantly. It finally comes to the final battle between the kids and the malignant Q, there is indeed the elixir in his hands, and could thus have a peace … (Was #) is selected that Peter Gersina calculated the Tiger Team – The mountain of a thousand dragons from the large number of these series to the film, does not seem surprising, since the land of the rising sun, the popularity of children’s thrillers by Thomas Brezina is still well before Harry Potter. Very complicated and with lots of special effects he has taken on the topic, what about some hinweghilft representational weakness of the young actors. In contrast, Iris Berben in the role of Q is a true revelation, which is a whole new shows as incredibly bad side. As she looks into the camera demonic, threatened the children and are eccentric Ausraster the best, is fantastic. Even Stipe Erceg as her loyal son who loses battle with so many children is considered to be amusing. How the movie, overall points out that all the actors a lot of fun with must have had three, who plays, among other things on the Great Wall, cuddly panda bear has as extras, designed exciting and to play in the hearts of children of today. The glitches in the presentation of Helena Siegmund-Schultze, Justus Kammerer Bruno Schubert and you forget for even a quick, and above all the Telegenität of Justus aka Luk can go up to the viewer’s heart.
