Absolutely the worst movie.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
What a wonderful movie! I can't stop thinking about it. Don't be embarassed to clap at its conclusion. You won't be alone in your admiration. EDI earns a perfect 10 from this jaded movie goer. Heartfelt and compassionate are two words I would use to describe the film. It packs so much emotion into an 1 hour and 30 minutes or so. Its amazing. Wow. Kieslowski comes to mind. If you are not a bigot and have an open mind start with the "Three Colours" trilogy if you haven't seen it. Anyone know when EDI will be available on DVD?
This is a film which truly touches the heart and mind. One man's life which has an impact on all around him. His patience for his best friend, his forgiveness for family and enemies, his love for someone elses child. This is not Hollywood but real life. Our eyes are definitely opened and we realise that we too can give to others and not expect in return. On the technical side, the photography and music are beautiful, and the acting unpretentious. In my humble opinion, it should without a doubt be nominated for an Oscar, and also go a step further and collect the golden gentleman. Unfortunately, with Italian (Pinnochio), French (8 Women) and other heavyweights, it stands little chance. There is always, however, a light at the end of the tunnel. Pozdrawiam.
It's the best movie in 2002 for me. Today's life of almost everybody is in horrible rush, crying for more money, more fancy dresses, exotic food, faster cars etc. We forgot the meaning of true friendship, simple love, everyday devotion. The guy called Edi is very poor one, jobless, homeless, alcoholic. But he works on his own - he picks scrap everyday to feed him and handicapped friend, living with him in ruins. He smiles everydays, helps to smile other guys, tries to make the world around more happy. Edi falls in love very badly and he is faithful to the girl in really heroic way. That simple guy is great man. After the movie I was ashamed I ever complain on my own life.Call to your girl and go to see this movie, it's worth your time!
A realistic look at the problem of homelessness in the city of last decades' great factories, in middle-east of Europe, heart of Poland: in Lodz. A story about looking at our lives from the perspective of the trash, which is a perspective of more and more people. You will totally change Your attitude to things. You will see how hatred, but even lack of self respect, can ruin a man's life... Very poor, cold and dirty one, but with many happy moments.The scenery of the City of Lodz is very natural, I know most of places shown in the movie from wandering after school. Such gloomy bars really serve mainly cheap wine or beer. It's worth seeing.
