The Princess and the Warrior Reviews
Engage your mind, senses and emotion
I got this movie because I'm a new fan of Franka Potente. She transforms herself perfectly in every film I've seen so far. I was not disappointed. The detailed circle of this movie's plot is amazingly engaging. Even though fantasy enters the picture, realism captures your attention and doesn't let go. Action, emotion, thought and the raw human condition whirl in a harmonious and fascinating combo that will make you want to share the experience. Several elements come together well. And don't miss the deleted scenes.
a feeling of sadness from beginning to near end
This is an interesting movie, at times a little far-fetched but still well made.
Most of the acting is more subtle rather than over the top (except for the mental patients) and the dialogue is reasonably minimalistic.
The majority of main characters in this film are flawed in some kind of way. They all deal with some kind of grief, they all have a mental problem or their whole existence is sad.
At times the dialogue got a little infuriating; Sissi and Bodo, Bodo especially, don't have a lot of dialogue. As a result the characters aren't developed as quickly as we'd like.
One thing about this movie is that it has a very depressing atmosphere. Leading right up to the end it is full of an existential kind of sadness and I kept expecting some cruel twist of fate to separate Sissi and Bodo, and of course there's the section where (spoiler) it appears they both commit suicide together - and then all that is changed.
The ending I found quite similar to a french movie Le Homme Du Train, "The man on the train" in the way a change of life is represented. It is a fitting ending but at the same time there is a slight feeling that the whole swapping thing is a bit of a visual gimmick.
Unless you analyse it heavily the flaws aren't too obvious. All in all a good film.
