The Night Watch (2011)

The Night Watch is set during World War II (and the ending) following the lives and crossovers of 6 young people who all has in some way relations to one another.


so yeah that was an ultra short description i made there.. there's a reason for that.. The way this movie is built is unlike anything I've ever seen before.. i find that cool and well intriguing... to explain this movie without giving it away.. hmm it's actually quite tough... the absolute best way to describe it would be the first sentence of the movie:

"If you go to the cinema midway through a film, you watch the second half first don't you. So you see how the characters end up in the story. What happened to turn them into the people they became? It's like a riddle you have to solve "

this is what the movie is.. a riddle you have to solve.. i rather enjoy it.. but then again I've always loved riddles :)

the movie is in historical settings and it involves not just lesbians but homosexuality in general in a time where it was not yet quite acceptable but not unacceptable either.. and given it is based on a book by Sarah Waters yeah well it is kinda what you expect isn't it ;)

oh also.. i did something bad XD i went on youtube.. so instead of being down on 666 movies it is now up on 672 (wups) which is more than i started out with.. bugger! >.< I am just never gonna finish this
