FELLINI IS BACK!!!!,
By Lucio (GUADALAJARA, JALISCO Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Million Dollar Hotel (Widescreen) (DVD)
"The Million Dollar Hotel" is truly a movie about the magic in every person's life. A group of freaks, junkies, mentally deficient people, [prostitutes], people without money, people without expectations, etc. In other words, the other side of the coin of the "American Dream". Yet, just like in a Fellini movie, we are made to watch, and somehow understand them, and like them and love them. They are much better adapted to their "underprivileged" world than we are to ours. They have the magic of life in them. This movie is a great Love Story in many different levels. It is also, a movie about friendship, passion, greed, jelousy, hate, revenge, etc. On a personal level, on a HUMAN level. Certainly it puts us ("The Privileged", with our diregard for others, our consummerism, our wars, our weapons, our fears, our hatreds)to shame.Another great movie by Wim Wenders. May he continue showing us that deep down we are better than we can see us in a mirror. We need his magical mirror to de the trick!

a beautiful portrait of humans,
By "madgirllovesong" (plastic, sunny, oh so wonderful los angeles) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Million Dollar Hotel (Widescreen) (DVD)
I really think this movie is great, but I don't think most people would. The love story between Jeremy Davies and Milla Jovovich is just so sweet and quiet. To be honest, I think that was the best thing about the movie, the realtionship of these two characters that was so moving. This movie just portrays the fragility and emotional complexity of people so beautifully.

Wenders' romanticism at its best,
By Naoko (Bloomington, IN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Million Dollar Hotel (Widescreen) (DVD)
This film combines Wenders' great romanticism and his loving, if not uncritical glances toward Americans--their sickness, loneliness, and lovingness. First time I saw it, I thought it was a somewhat commercialized (or Americanized) version of Wenders' earlier work, "Wings of Desire." Second time, I got into the story and felt it's real. It is such a powerful and smart movie that strings love, sadness, and their once-ness in life together. Music by Bono is also great. If you like Wenders, it is a must-see. If you do not like Mel Gibson in his usual role, then you will find it amusing. At any rate, do not trust the ad. on VHS/DVD... They say something like "everyone has a secret," trying to present the film as a Mel Gibson detective story. It is not a detective story, but much more than that!
