Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Madhav Gupta If you had to show a bunch of photographers running around taking random pictures in the wilderness of Africa throughout the 2 hours with no plot, no real story-just a collage of random occurrences, unnecessarily forced love-angles and unwanted emotionalism with no real vigor then you hit the nail right on the head with this one. I have never seen an attempt to throw a bunch of unrelated events together to make a full film with so much dexterity than this film. If you just wanted to show him win the pulitzer for photojournalism then you could have made into a half an hour biography with about the same impact and story as this wasted piece here. Skip it for you own good.

siderite I avoided this film for a long time because it was set in South Africa and I thought it was going to be political. Instead it is more about the combat photographers that live and work in these zones, witnesses to all kinds of nasty things, but tasked with observing and taking pictures only.The film has a good cast, but considering it is based on a book written by two of the photographers - one played by Ryan Phillippe, it is strange that the most visible character is Taylor Kitsch's, who steals the show with his acting.The direction and writing of the film were a little bland, though, less ambitious than the subject of the movie. I wonder if it was intentional, as to show more of the perspective of the original book. Even so, we start with these musketeers of the camera, but we never understand why they got to doing what they're doing and so most of the time we couldn't care less what happens to them.The change comes at the end, when two of the group die and we are faced with the pain of their friends and loved ones, but it comes too late and on the background of Black people finding their children murdered and having to let photographers in to take account. It felt artificial and condescending, so that is why I rated this film merely average. Otherwise, an interesting story and word watching.One thing intrigued me: from the few IMDb comments for this film, there is none from South Africa, so they must have done something wrong with the movie.

Svetlusha That movie really takes me out of rails whenever watching it. It makes me thinking how controversial the world is and ... When there are so many examples in wild nature for injustice and loosing life in order to gain balance, why is it so hardly difficult for people to accept the social conflicts and death? P.S. The performance of Taylor Kitsch is more than brilliant.. He made me wanting to read the book and take my personal imagination of what the real personality of Kevin Carter has been! Special thanks to the directors - Thank you for making film of that rank, i mean "think & feel", not just "pay & watch".

ami_gdalo Back in 1994, South Africa Nelson Mandela has just been released and in the last months, bloody apartheid tensions have gradually increased. The tribal sects, with the support of the white government, preach bloody war between them and so the streets of Soweto echoing gunfire, creating a war scene. In all this, there is the Bang Bang Club,a group of four (white) photographers that were always in the midst of gunfire for achieving the best photo shot, which will give them fame, money and professional recognition. To my opinion, it is not about the politics. It is about the profession of street photographer, hunting the hot news, even like a war correspondent. This movie reveals the difficulties, challenges and dangers involved in the occupation; it reflects the gradual deprecation of every human emotion, for succeeding into the upper goal, to get the right photo-shot, the one to be published. The movie, based on true stories, also reveals the true story behind the shocking Pulitzer winner - photo taken at Africa, showing a malnourished child ready to be ruptured by a vulture that is lurking. It is the struggle of photographers to bring news to people same time struggling with their emotions to remain professional and block all other hesitations or emotions. Having already watched film twice, would go for a third one!
