The Last Days of Emma Blank (6/1/11)


I like this dutch film. Its an "action" movie. Not the kind of action that you see in blockbusters, but the miming kind of action. On the other hand, this movie can be alittle boring and sometimes ridiculous. Thank goodness, action speaks louder than words so you won't have to read the translation throughout the movie. For some people, this movie would be alittle slow moving but for me its fine. Its about Emma Blank, who is the mother of the household and acts like a queen in the house. Her husband and children has to serve her formally and be treated like a servant. She also has a "dog" in the house, or rather a human kind of dog. He has to be treated and called like a dog. He has to perform the actions like a dog, including masturbation against someone's leg. He has to poop in the sand like a dog and run to catch ball. They were all doing that just to inherit the wealthy possession that was promised to them by Emma Blank when she died. Finally, when she revealed that there wasn't any money for them, they gave up treating her well, rebelled and even staple her to the ground. On top of this usual plot, there were small interesting scene where Emma's daughter was involved with a guy she couldn't take home. Skip this movie if you don't have patience to watch the slow action movie. Not really slow, but somethings are quite mundane. 2.5/5.
