Hi all,
two movies I liked particularly are “A Touch of Spice” by the Greek director Tassos Boulmetis and "Monsieur Ibrahim" Director François Dupeyron ...main actor Omar Sharif...great movies showing cliches between different cultures.....

I havn't seen "A touch of spice" is it any good? I didn't like "monsieur Ibrahim" I don't have any particular reasons but I guess that the story wasn't so great and there were no action or beautiful ictures to compensate for the lack of story not that the story was bad, but not that good either.

Hi Kutchia,
"A touch of spice" is about a Greek community living in Istanbul….as you know Greek and Turks people don’t like much each other…of religion.. historical and cultural reasons…this movie shows that the two communities, even they think they’re different, they have so many similarities in their lifestyle….however the way the movie is mad is funny…it’s all about spices and cooking…. through cooking the director will show us that people create so many cliches to justify their hat to each other…..of course there is no action or stunning pictures …..but there a lot of charm…spices…colors and great message behind the movie…
"Monsieur Ibrahim" got 4 Golden glob's nominations ….I find the story talking about the relation between religions in a simple but deeper way …particularly when kids are involved….the religion couldn’t keep the old man and the teenager from loving each others…..but anyway if you’re looking for action the two movies are certainly not for you…..
It wasn't for the lack of action he he.Quote

[I whant a movie to be more than just a good story there should also be a plot, a surprise, a twist some beautiful pictures, good acting, superb language or maybee some action and etc. Remember one can allways argue when the story is good, as the stories can have different topics. A story could be good for some people because the topic is about something thats interest them, while for others the story isn't so good because the topic doesn't interest them. An example a movie has a story about a Chinese emporer who united China. A very uniteresting story for many, but when the director add some amazing scenes superb action and world class acting the whole movie becomes good because there are something that copensate for the lack of interest in the movies thheme (topic of the story). Thats what makes a good movie in my eyes. A movie most contain more than just great action or great acting or a great story, it must have more deminsions in it. Thats why I find that "Lost in Translation" was a bad movie even thoug it recived more rewards than " Pans Labyrinth" wich is a movie I find very good!
I hope you got an Idea why I didn't like "Monsieur Ibrahim" even though it won prices
! I didn't like the last Pirate movie either. The story wasn't good, the acting of that girl who could kick all the hard core mofo pirates was terrible. Even though I like Jony Deep and I find him as a great actor, the movie is at best a 6 out of 10. Quote

Salam!
I also liked the Asian verions much better, I would not say the departed was a bad movie, it isn't but it missed some of core plots wich was in Internal affairs.
Did you by the way notice how good the moroccan acttors where in the movie Bable? And they were amatures incridible.
