Schmerzensgeld - Wer reich sein will muss leiden

I like fantastic movies, but what I like even more are relatively normal movies that have just one fantastic element, something that doesn't belong in our otherwise normal world. That's why I really liked the movie "Wild Creatures of the Southern Lands", as well as the movie "The Remarkable Life of Timothy Green". For this reason, I was quite excited about the movie "The Brass Teapot", which promised something similar. It is true that I did experience something similar, but the fantastic element gets boring after a while and the film falls into a fairly predictable pattern. However, the performances of the actors save it, as they are good enough to carry the film until its relatively overblown running time ends.

I don’t think it’s easy to make a movie that is trying to present the philosophical answer to the issue of money in the form of an abstract idea that is incorporated into the real world. And that’s also why it took me a while to get used to the idea, which may try to seem very imaginative, but which comes off as very unrealistic in that American small town. But after a while, I got used to it. And that was also thanks to the fact that Juno Temple and Michael Angarano did a perfect job portraying the young married couple. They did a great job mainly portraying their development: at the beginning they are poor, but gradually they get richer. In other words, the movie shows what money does to them. And it doesn’t really matter how they came to get the money. I actually got so excited about this idea while watching the film that I was pretty disappointed with the ending featuring the Chinese guy. By the way, Juno Temple was so incredibly interesting and sexy that I think from now on I want to see every movie she’s ever been in… (19.08.2015)
