I would like to add another comment on the connection between "What Ever Happened to..." and "Misery." Stephen King's great strength lies in his ability to write stories that are very different from the work he draws inspiration from. "Misery" and "What Ever Happened to..." only share the theme of captivity: in one case, the writer, and in the other, Bette Davis (a truly great actress). Other than that, they differ significantly. While it is a more than decent film, I believe that King's story, in the hands of another director, could have been far better. If I'm not mistaken, "The Green Mile" is also inspired by "Of Mice and Men" by Steinbeck.

One of the worst movies of all time, pretentious as DaveJonGilmour says, that only manages to highlight Celentano's megalomania.

Finally, a thriller is being reviewed, one of those I like, not the usual garbage from Dario Argento & company. You did well to specify that it inspired King, because I had read it somewhere but wasn't sure (probably in one of his books). "Perhaps" it's better than the movie, but King's book, despite all the limitations of the writer, is a story of great suspense, certainly one of his best. The review is good, maybe a bit too descriptive of the plot, but it's clear that you know how to write well. Bye.

I bought this record when it came out, it’s very nice, great guitarist Brian Setzer. Tonight I’m watching Code Inconnu by Haneke, I just read that he’s working on an American remake of Funny Games, my God how far we’ve fallen!! The genre is going through a rough time, at least as far as my tastes go. Bye.

Among other things, you compare Ore disperate to a Disney production in contrast to Funny Games, but in the fifties, it was unthinkable to make a movie like Funny Games; at that time, thrillers of a very different kind were being produced compared to Funny Games. The last mystery I really enjoyed was LA Confidential.

Occult Supersovereign, if you read my comment carefully, I wrote that it deals with more or less the same topic and I put "more or less" in quotation marks. Ore Disperate also tells the story of three bandits who escape from prison and take refuge in the home of a bourgeois couple (I copied it from Morandini). Funny Games is not a remake (which has actually been done), in this case, two criminals manage to enter the home of a bourgeois couple, they seem like nice guys, but suddenly they turn into two sadistic, bloodthirsty beings, just like that, without explanation. For me, this film impresses only for that reason, but there’s nothing behind it; it’s a disheartening act of political incorrectness in its stubborn attempt to provoke horror in the viewer.

There is no study on the psychology of the two criminals; they commit their heinous acts without any understanding of their personality and what drives them to act this way. I refer again to Ore Disperate, a film that addresses "more or less" the same topic but with much more depth in portraying the characterization of the criminals.

The film is from 1976, a very personal review, it seems like one of the topics they used to assign in elementary school, but I didn't dislike it. You are the first thirty-something teenager I "know" lucky you. I also know Asterix, but I haven’t seen the film.

Bjork, don't be so sure about it, for me it's overrated, but that's my personal opinion.

It's not for me.
