Watch 360 For Free

The Worst Film Ever

best movie i've ever seen.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

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.

360 lacks the glint of malice and sardonic cynicism of its model, Schnitzler's La Ronde, filmed in 1950 by Max Ophfuls. It wastes the talents of two fine actors, Jude Law and Anthony Hopkins. Law's part, in particular, amounts to a sniffle and a sneeze; Hopkins is given a monologue — in which he conveys the secret of life according to a Jesuit he knows: "Fuck it." His search for his missing daughter never acquires suspense or urgency. And the sterile, fluorescent lit morgue sucks oxygen from the movie. 360 is a travelogue that pings from Berlin to Paris to London and pongs to Denver and Phoenix and back again. But in each city we see only hotel rooms and airports. A drive around Vienna's famed Ringstrasse, the final act is meant to connote the casting off of shackles — from employer, from exploitative sister — in favor of impulse, liberation, and life. But it leaves us skeptical that the pair will end up differently from the couple at the end of The Graduate, a film with which it otherwise has little in common.

Movies linking different stories taking place all over the world are usually are praised for the interweaving plot coming together with some big revelation. Think about Babel, universally praised for mixing intercontinental tragedy. I liked it moderately, as it was a bit too gloomy, and I would not put it in my top-ten list.On the other hand, 360 working on a similar take, was vilified almost unanimously. On a different merry-go-round we have the stories of an English businessman ready to stray with a prostitute in Vienna, while his wife is already straying in London with a Brazilian guy, whose fiancée is dumping him for said infidelity and traveling back home, etc… Since the prostitute is having her photos taken by a photographer for her online advert, the movie starts and finishes with a girl entering the study, thus coming round 360 degrees. A couple of stories are quite weak, such as the Brazilian girl meeting a sex offender en route to Brazil and the prostitute's sister running away with a stranger. However, compared to Babel what is missing here is mega tragedy and that is exactly what made Babel so pretentious, with its existentialist grandeur.Therefore, I liked 360 better because its characters are more "normal" – except, perhaps, the Russian mobsters – and their lives are not experiencing huge calamities. They just change or adjust slightly. I guess that was not liked by the critics (and public). Nowadays, a level of extra-drama seems to be required in ever massive doses to relieve with excitement our numbed existences … at least for a couple of hours.

360 is a kaleidoscope movie of which holds a tension I liked very much. The film immediately grabbed my attention, and the longer into the movie the more interesting it gets. The film is about both choices, lust and the need of love. A sort of life travel on the dark side, or maybe more like on the unhappy side, meeting people, connecting coincidentally. People who wants to start new lives. We see both the bad and more sympathetic sides of these people in a way that I haven't seen done so complex and interesting ever before. (My thoughts here went to the Oscar winning "A separation".)We start off in Vienna, where a Slovakian woman is getting photographed for a escort girl website. From there we move around the world with meeting people from around the world in stories which are becoming interconnected spoken in a lot of languages. Bratislava, Paris, London, Phoenix, Colorado...He film is full of such strong actors and performances that it's almost a reason of it's on to watch this movie. The film manages us to connect with all these people in very short time. Impressive. Which actor does the greatest role here, is difficult to say, but it is impossible to not mention Anthony Hopkins and Jude Law. Electric performances. But Imust say they are all really great, every single one of them. Vladimir Vdovinchenkov, Danica Jurcova, Gabriela Marcincova... In a very international cast. Brilliant cast, brilliantly instructed.When this film doesn't get a 10 from me is only because I wanted to know more about the ones we weren't seeing in the end. More could have been made out of it in the end, though I understand that is quite difficult in such a complex told story. I also though the music was not well suited all the way. Some is working. But half of it is very far from what I would have chosen.The writer of this script is Peter Morgan which I have recently discovered is the writer behind a lot of awesome movies. Amongst these are The last king of Scotland, Frost/Nixon, The Queen, Longford, Hereafter, The damned United, Henry VIII, and the upcoming Rush. What a screenplay writer!A gem if you like a mosaic of life story, well acted, but far from a popcorn movie. It needs your attention along the way. It deserves your attention.If you like this, or film like this, I would recommend the following: Crash, Hawaii Oslo, Grand Canyon, Mr. Nobody and The Dead Girl. All great kaleidoscope movies showing the mosaic of life.

English journalist David Frost recently died. He was of course best known for interviewing disgraced ex-president Richard Nixon and shaming Nixon into admitting that he had put the country through a lot of suffering.What's this got to do with Fernando Meirelles's "360"? The Frost/Nixon interviews got depicted in a play by Peter Morgan, later made into a movie by Ron Howard. Morgan also wrote the screenplay for "360", which he adapted from "La Ronde". This movie's connection to the Frost/Nixon interviews is obviously looser than the connections that the characters in Vienna, Paris, London and Colorado have with each other, but I still see it. The movie itself isn't bad, although I thought that it drug on a little long. It's still worth seeing, although "City of God" remains Meirelles's best movie.
