cheap charity stuff

All the Invisible Children

1. Tanza
Directed by Mehdi Charef
This one's about those children living as soldiers. I won't pretend to understand life like this and don't know whether the children's performance was bad or just raw. So I'd better shut up here.

2. Blue Gypsy
Directed by Emir Kusturica
My favourite one in this shit bag. Has its sad parts yet still vivid and hilarious, and most of all, the leading boy is really cute. I'll try to watch the world famous Underground when I got the chance.

3. Jesus Children of America
Directed by Spike Lee
Here comes a decent short movie. But it's so good-hollywood-film and with a stupid optimistic ending which I always despise most.

4. Bilu e João
Directed by Kátia Lund
Lovely kids, lovely little movie. It's just are they really so happy with their lives?

5. Jonathan
Directed by Jordan Scott and Ridley Scott
I wouldn't have bought this stupid pack of charity shorts if not for this particular segment, coz I'm a hopeless Thewlisian.
Ridley Scott, you are shit, and your daughter is shit. And David, I really don't want to call you that, so are you a shit collecter or what?
I'd already read some of the imdb comments before and got some sort of impression that this segment is the worst one. No, the worst is yet to come, but this one's horrible enough. When Jonathan said his last line, I was like 'OMG'. And then I tried to get what this short movie was all about, an idea went cross my mind, and I went 'ooooh myyyy God!'. A shockingly intolerably shitty movie! A waste of such a marvelous cast (why do I feel you're the weakest link again, David??)!
But I have to confess this is still my second favourite one, for the cast obviously. The little Jonathan is just soooo adorable. I've got my obsession for pale skin. And the teenage Jonathan would make such a good teenage Lupin~

6. Ciro
Directed by Stefano Veneruso
Again, it's not bad, and the shadow thing and the playground scene is kind of cool. So it's my problem. I'm not very keen on these not-so-pale children.

7. Song Song and Little Cat
Directed by John Woo
The last and the very worst. Congratulations! You've just won the competition of who's the worst director in a charity shorts production. I've never been a John Woo fan, but this one's beyond my imagination. Actually it's a success in telling people how to make a terrible movie in less than 20 minutes. It's an encyclopedia of bad elements you can ever use to attract real cheap sympathy.

I can't believe they celebrated this movie so delightedly. I'm sure none of them is an idiot. Then why? Personally I've never been into charity stuff, but is charity really meant to be cheap?
