Broken English (2007)

Director:

Zoe R. Cassavetes

Writer:

Zoe R. Cassavetes

              Everybody needs it, everybody is looking for it, but, unfortunately, not everybody finds it.
It was and is the reason for many people to die or to kill for, even whole nations waged wars because of it and yet at the same time it was also the reason for marvelous creations.
The trouble is that you never know when you will find it and once you do, you have to work really hard to keep it. Why do we even go through all that trouble to find something that in the end could, literally, kill you or make you miserable?! It is because it is our nature, it is embedded in every living soul and life without it has no meaning. The joy that overcomes us when we find it can hardly be described by words, though many have tried to do so.
Some, that realize its power, will try to abuse it and some will, even though they know, willingly let themselves be abused. Some even fear it and never fulfill their need. The power of this feeling is immeasurable. This feeling is called Love.  

               Plot story: Nora Wilder is a young and pretty woman, but seems to be unable to find somebody worth a while. She is getting desperate and the fact that almost everybody around her is in some kind of relationship is making her nervous. When all seems lost an unexpected arrival changes the monotony of her life.

              From the reviews introduction you would probably expect this movie to be one of those cheesy romantic movies where everything follows the same pattern as in most other movies of this type. Luckily this time this isn’t one of those movies. This one subtly portrays the modern life of a young woman that finds herself wanting something more of it. She is successful at her job, but she is unhappy and she is getting desperate. It seems as though the more she tries the more she fails when it comes to love. On the opposite side her best friend has, what most people would consider, a happy marriage, but she too is unhappy because her marriage has become a habit and she longs for past times. So it’s kind of funny that Nora wants something so badly that her best friend already has, but doesn’t appreciate. 

 

 What differentiates this movie from the bunch is the way in which the characters are presented. They are someone you could easily relate to and the situations in which they find themselves are very probable in the real life too. One could say that there are lots of Noras out there in the real world. In her desperation to find someone Nora has built a defensive wall around herself and it took someone like Julian to bring it down. Julian is spontaneous and simple, what he says he means it and he was exactly what Nora needed. He is a man that holds his ground when faced with a beautiful, but insecure woman like Nora. The whole philosophy behind their meeting is that she stumbled upon a man that matched her needs after a series of failures. This is accentuated by the way in which the movie itself is conceived. There are lots of fast changing scenes with rather superficial small talk between few people, mostly two at the time. By doing this the director managed to achieve the feeling of random situations that life throws you into rather than showing liner and chaos free storyline. This way it all feels more plausible. 

Nora was brought to life by the amazing Parker Posey which earned the reputation and the nickname of being the “Queen of the indies” because of over thirty low-budget, independent movies she appeared in. Her charisma and talent for acting gave Nora that feeling of agony and pain that she went trough. Drea de Matteo (known for her role in The Sopranos) played her best friend and did a fine job as did Melvil Poupaud whilst portraying Julian. The rest of the cast blended in nicely, but Nora was absolutely in the spotlight the whole time of the movie.

Like Nora everybody goes through the path of finding themselves and finding happiness in life. The problem is that that is not easy. People have the need to feel complete, but as long as they expect others to complete them they are wasting time. The path to happiness begins within oneself.
This movie illustrates that premise with a fine touch at the end. The only “bad” thing about this movie that we can think of is that it’s labeled as a comedy. We didn’t find anything especially comic about it, but rather charming yet fast forwarded life story that could happen to anyone to some degree.

L'Arnaceour (Heartbreaker) 2010

            When it comes to French movies, we cannot help ourselves but to expect a lot and much more than that, no matter what the genre is. Therefore it's not surprising we were eagerly awaiting this one. The French are mostly inspiring and original in making films. Their movies are the total opposition of typical Hollywood ones. Does this romantic comedy named Heartbreaker affirm the thesis?

Plot story: Alex Lippi, his sister and sister's husband are running this unusual business of breaking the relationships. The thing is getting complicated when they are hired by the wealthy man to break his daughter's relationship only ten days before her marriage with Englishman Jonathan.

          Not so original idea? Indeed. Though French, this movie looks like the remake of many similar, previously done Hollywood rom-coms. Usually it's the French movies that are being remade by Hollywood, but it's hard to believe that this one will suffer from such fate. (overwhelmingly reminds of Chasing Liberty, and not exclusively because of the plot).
Director Pascal Chaumeil did a terrific job of making this film an enjoyable experience and not a pain in the neck. It's very watchable with a presence of slapstick humor and there are no boring scenes. The setting of the movie is mostly in Monaco but all the other locations are also breathtaking from the very beginning making it visually effective.
        
          He sings in a church choir, he is a culinary expert, he washes windows... One can see from the start that Alex (Romain Duris) is a benevolent person, without a strict set of goals in life. He owns the rebel's charm but, ironically, he is not a womanizer. His job is to help miserable women and to open their eyes but he never goes further from the first base. Since Alex has fallen into debt, he accepts to seduce rich Juliette (Vanessa Paradis, beautiful French actor, also known as Johnny Depp's significant other- damn that lucky, lucky girl :P by Liz) though she seems to be happy with a man without blemish- Jonathan Alcott (Andrew Lincoln).

     
                 Here we encounter the typical motive of the basic intolerance, as it is usually the case.(like in already mentioned Chasing Liberty, or The Ugly Truth, No Reservations, etc.) and in order to change that, ingenious Alex, starts to play her bodyguard and makes everything possible to melt her cold heart. This includes adoring George Michael (that must have been painful), learning how to dance just as Patricky Swayze did in ''Dirty Dancing'' (he surely owns an exceptional talent learning it in few days) , eating Roquefort etc. You've seen that before? Nooo way :D

              We don't take it as spoiler when we say that during the movie chemistry developed between the two (it's very clear from the plot story) and Juliette is releasing her real self with the rebel Alex which was not possible with her stuffy fiancee. Sounds cheesy, but it's not the Roquefort we're talking about.
             The movie is full of cliches and you have a feeling that you know every next line that is about to be pronuonced, but it still manages to be charming and heartwarming because of hilarious situations and great acting. Surely one won't see anything new or inspiring, but Heartbreaker is perfect for relaxing after a hard day. Recently, and also this year, there is a lack of a good rom-coms with the charming spirit of 90's, but this one is the total opposition so it's surely not an excess in this industry. This one will cheer up anyone who likes good old romantic comedies because it's almost flawless  in its category.

Charlie St. Cloud (2010)

Director: 

Burr Steers 

Writers: 

Craig Pearce

Lewis Colick (screenplay)

Ben Sherwood (novel)

                It is needless to pull morals out of this movie and to reason about it when everything is clear as day after first twenty or so minutes. This is one of those movies that you watch with low or no expectations from the start. Just one look at the cover confirms that fact.
(Too) handsome baby faced teen star with dramatic look into the distance followed by a quote ''Life is for living''. Whether you indulge in watching a movie with or without these prejudices, you'll anyway reach the same conclusion.

Plot story: Charlie St. Cloud unintentionally caused the death of his younger brother Sam. He couldn't overlook that so he found a job at the cemetery where his brother was buried. As he promised to him, they were meeting everyday at the same place after the sound of firing cannon.

               The movie is based on the same story which we didn't read but despite that it was not difficult to conclude that this story was more situable for literature than cinematography. 
The director, Burr Steers, again took young actor Zac Efron under his wing. They worked together in Seventeen Again, which is far better than this one. Still, we must admit that is a wise move since Zac, recently unknown to the audience, is successfully building his career. He's very hot, blue eyed and charismatic beauty so there's no doubt many young schoolgirls will rush to cinema to see new Zac Efron movie. However, he does not deserve to be exclusively labeled as aesthetically pleasing part of the movie because it is the one who is the strongest link here - both aesthetic and histrionic. Though he hasn't got lots of  movies in his background, here he proves the ability of bearing comedy as much as drama where he does not deliver the exact same level of performance. Unfortunately, this movie still happened to be kinda waste of the talent so we sincerely hope to see him in the more "serious" roles. We're not trying to say that Charlie St. Cloud is not a demanding character but the movie is too much formulaic and cliche so that is not the ONE but one of THE.
          
                 It's silly how Kim Basinger and Ray Liotta, undeniably exquisite actors, got roles which are reduced to the minimum of minimums. Amanda Crew (Tess Carroll) and Charlie Tahan (Sam St. Cloud) were also good, so the cast works just fine. Screenplay doesn't. So, again and again we encounter the ''I see dead people'' motive and the story is engineered as the Ghost Whisperer episode. The only person missing in all this was Jennifer Love Hewitt. We think that cinematography is saturated with these themes.
The story IS touching and Zac successfully conveys the feeling of sorrow and pain but it's still not enough to create a tear jerking movie (except maybe to people who survived the same ordeal).

                Charlie St. Cloud movie works it's ass off to be melodramatic and inspiring but the result is not much more different than already seen, full of cliches, scheme which will more likely make you roll eyes than cry. Not even to mention that again we have the situation where a teenager quotes big writer (in this case E.E.Cummings) as in, for example,  The Last Song. Just as there, as an extra you get the other teenager (the significant other) who immediately recognizes the quotation. It's praiseworthy when young people are conscious about the world of literature, but come on.. If you manage to find one, in a sample of ten average teenagers, who would recognize it (and let alone two of them in the same sample) - we'll pay you a beer.

               Of course, there are many more heartbreaking moments and messages. The good news is that there's the twist in the movie and the bad news about it is that you won't  be that much excited it since it's nothing you won't have already figured out. Naturally, we've seen worse movies than this one. In fact, this is not a bad movie, but it's only that. Not a bad movie. Don't expect any laughs or cries which consequently lead to the result of watchable, feel good movie (with nice camerawork) that won't make you think about it later and you will soon forget you even watched it. The younger population may even like it, but only because of the main actor or if they missed Ghost or even Just Like Heaven. If you're not staunch fan of Zac Efron, better watch those instead.

Altitude (2010)

Director:

Kaare Andrews

Writer:

Paul A. Birkett

             There is something about watching young and beautiful people dying. It has become a standard that the lead protagonists of the mainstream horror movies are teenagers or students who just happen to be very beautiful. Our guess is that the logic behind this is that people (especially Men) will gladly go and watch a movie with a couple of hotties because even if the movie sucks they will at least enjoy the view and it will, more likely, produce greater revenue. Well that's not a bad reasoning if you ask me (Kyle), but it, nevertheless, diminishes the reality and the value of the concept. This movie falls into that mainstream, but it has an original idea behind it promising us something new. This time the teenagers/students are in an airplane. That certainly ruled this one out as being a typical slasher horror flick since they are confined in a small space well above the surface of the earth.

              Plot story: Five teenagers rent a small airplane (how about that folks!) and amidst their flight they get stuck in a mysterious storm. 

              Flying on the airplane is by itself scary. No matter if you have flown many times or if it is your first time the feeling of being so helpless is always there. Anything could go wrong at anytime and there are not so many choices one could take if faced with a problem high up in the air. Well at least the view is pretty, unless it's a cloudy day :).

One may assume that, since the flying is so risky, the planes could only be flown by experienced pilots, but that is not the case here. Here we have a teenager pilot and her friends that decide that the train or the bus drive are too lame for them (that's for losers, right?!). They were probably saying something like: "Lets rent an airplane and get shitfaced while we are at it, woohoooo..." :). So they actually came up with enough money to rent an airplane ( We would like to meet their financial adviser). The stage was set for the inevitable disaster. But wait, there is more! If a fact that there are five teenagers in the air is not enough for a series of disasters then we have a monster that will make sure that something goes wrong.

A monster you say?! Yap, that is right, a monster is in the air (opposite to the "Love is in the air" statement :) ). And it's not any kind of a monster, it's a large squid like creature.

 
Kraken in the air?! :)

              The acting itself was mostly ok, but the main problem are not the actors as much as the badly written script is. There are way too much unbelievable dialogues and situations. The most annoying of the bunch was the bully (Jake Weary). The things his character does are on the edge of retardation. The whole teenage drama issues that get resolved in a confined, small space of an airplane are nothing short of ridiculous. That kind of behavior is passable on some generic horror set in a dark house or similar, but not here. None of the characters are someone you could relate to, so in fact we couldn't care less if they all die at some point. 

              Given all that we were hoping that the main plot surrounding the mysterious monster would, somehow, save the movie from the obvious flaws. When we saw the trailer it reminded us of one of the Twilight Zone episodes. Twilight Zone, in its time, was a synonym of good written mystery with an intriguing plot and an intelligent ending that kept you wondering for days.

Unfortunately that is not the case with this movie as it doesn't hold a candle to the Twilight Zone and its level of deepness. The monster did not scare us at all (at some point we were wondering what it would taste like on a salad, actually that would be a "mega squid salad" judging from its size, it wouldn't be surprising to us if you could buy something like that in Japan or China :) ). The ending of this "mystery" tries to be intelligent, but it falls short in such attempt.

The "monster". Yummi!

              The camera work was very good especially given the fact that 90% of the movie was shot in the small ariplane cabin. Special effects are nothing you will write home about, but are actually quite believable. They are a good example of the fact that you don't need lots of money to create something visually acceptable.

                We all dream of flying, it is the ultimate experience of freedom one could ever imagine to achieve in our reality. We bet that all of you, at least once, dreamed of flying or have looked up to the sky wondering what it would be like. Well the flying part would be fun, but the falling not as much, so in order for that not to happen lets be real and let the flying business to the experienced pilots with years of training behind them. 

The idea of a couple of teenagers flying an airplane is, frankly said, silly. This movie "flew" away very fast from our minds and as such we don't recommend it to anyone. If you, however, must watch it then, at least, get shitfaced like a teenager on an airplane would do :).

TeenAIR - at least they look good

The Social Network (2010)

Director:

David Fincher

Writers:

Aaron Sorkin

Ben Mezrich

           The movie about Facebook? What was your first reaction? Probably the same as ours. You were probably skeptical that it would be the movie whose primary goal was to earn money to burn based on this, immensely popular, topic. Today is just as normal to have a Facebook account just as owning a cell phone. It's almost on the same level of intensity anchored in our lives. Despite of the fact that Facebook is accompanied by notoriety, not the a day goes by without logging in. However, this movie is, certainly, not exclusively about Facebook and its invention. It's about everything: about you, about me, about us. Facebook is used just as bait to grab your attention which, obviously, worked. Much ado about nothing or something? Let's see.

              Plot story: We all know what Facebook is, but very few know how it came to be. This is the story about the founders and co-founders of Facebook and their relationship.

               The Social Network, based on the book "Accidental Billionaires", hit the jackpot on the Box Office, despite of all 3D sensations that were screened at cinemas at that time. Without any special effects, violence, blood, explosions, it stood out from the mass. Perhaps partly because of the human curiosity about something we use everyday. Since we are talking about David Fincher - a man that was born to brilliantly convey letters from paper to the screen, there's no wonder this movie was spoken about only in superlatives. Also he can pay tribute to the successful adaptation of the story which is apparently "non-filmic". Many people still doubt the credibility of the movie, but we don't really care about it (thought it is nice to see Mark Zuckenberg saying that he is appalled because it's so real). 

                An extraordinary effort of the director, actors, writers and complete cast created harmony that works without flaws. (Justin Timberlake proved again that he is multi-talented embodying character of Sean Parker, greedy owner of Napster website). 

The Social Network is not far from The Curious Case of Benjmain Button and Seven (our personal favorites of David Fincher). Of course, there's the presence of dark tones and melancholic atmosphere just as it is in his style. 

                Screenplay is concisely written, it's utterly intelligent and pleasant. The story leisurely runs from the past into the present which contributes to effectiveness and dynamic. Despite of great acting, yet the biggest compliment go to Jesse Eisenberg whose role in this movie is his best performance to the day. Evidently, we'll continue to watch him on the big screen in the future. His role wins you sympathy from the very beginning and his was as a sight for sore eyes. He's enchanting in his inability of "normal" integration into society, not knowing what to say in appropriate moment nor how to express his emotions. It's because he's programming genius with subtle sense of sarcasm and cynicism. One just can't hate him although he pulled the wool over his best friend's eyes- Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield). Andrew also deserves all the best words for his performance convincingly embodying someone who was betrayed. You feel sorry for him and adore Mark at the same time. Perhaps because Mark was just possessed with his genius idea (which is a whole new version than that of the twins) and he acted as an idiot towards his friends unintentionally. He created an everyday thing for people of the future an ensured his place in history books.

                 It is clear that Mark loves what he does more than money from the scene where he says that he uploaded application for free instead of selling it to Microsoft. His creativity an ingenuity cannot be stolen by anyone, that's for sure. It's his weapon against his socially conscious friends. 

   

                The movie is filled with mix of various emotions we encounter every day: jealousy, betrayal, anxiety, euphoria over big success and so on... Honestly, two hours went by flying. No doubt this is one of the best movies of the year so it would be kind of a disappointment leaving it denied of Oscar. This movie is about who we are - voayers. We like to know everything about everyone: what they do, with who they are, what do they like or dislike etc. Mark was conscious about it inventing Facebook and giving people complete freedom to do what they like the most - to enter into other's lives. That also leads us to a conclusion that we all are part of Mark finding it easier to get to the people behind the computer screen.

Speaking of Facebook, today's most popular invention, is that much of media attention on this movie justified because of that? No. It's justified because it's the movie which is a whole package that borders on perfection we were eagerly awaiting for.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)

Director:

Edgar Wright

Writers:

Michael Bacall, Edgar Wright

             Loading review...please wait...loading complete...

Once upon a time being called a geek would make you an outcast of the society and you would be ridiculed by those "cool" guys from the school and in general. In these last few years or so we are witnessing a dramatic reversal in these events. Suddenly being a geek has become a desirable trait. This has, of course, had an impact on the popular culture.

             Plot story: Scott has to defeat seven evil exes of the girl of his dreams. Yap, the story is that simple.

            The very beginning of this movie is so original and something you have never seen before. That's hard to achieve when we see all kind of movies that successfully or less successfully try hard to be different and innovative. Opening scene uses the classic Universal music intro played as 2D video game tune (which elicited a smile on our faces having a flashback of video games we played as kids such as Mario Bros, Contra, Mortal Kombat etc.). Every next scene is unbelievably dynamic because of innovation and diversity. If you are keen on new, fresh and unseen before visual style, you will appreciate this one at least for that reason alone.

Edgar Wright is very clearly using it as an ace in his sleeve which is good because we were overblown and impressed by the huge palette of visual effects mostly based on video games and comics. Since the movie is based on a, not so well known, Canadian comic book it is full of CGI effects depicting various situations in a way a comic book would. There are lots of fast scene transitions that include clever and witty dialogues that start in one location just to, suddenly, be continued in another. 

             

              The script is very witty and refreshingly deprived of "bathroom" humor. Speaking of acting, Michael Cera, Ellen Wong, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Kieran Culkin all did a great job delivering what they were supposed to. Regarding the actors one can't go without noticing that Michael Cera again delivered the exact same performance he gave in his every single movie. That might be a problem in his future career (we are not sure if he is a chameleon), but again this time his goofy charm adapted perfectly to this role. He is always this laid back, insecure, slow talking, lost in space kind of a guy. It's not as though we are expecting him to suddenly become an action hero like Bruce Willis, but it would be refreshing to see him try some different roles. Oh yes, and occasional change in facial expression would be nice. 

              Scott Pilgrim is a big baby, clumsy in a cute way while radiating with innocence. We feel and see his low self-esteem when he is worrying about his hair cut, but saying out loud his every thought. Just as kids do. He is in love with total opposition - girl named Ramona with questioning past behind her. In order to save her from the haunting past he has to fight against her seven exes (just as we said in the plot story). Scott is very clumsy in those fights against them, but still manages to look adorable. 

               The movie mostly consists of fighting scenes in Tekken 3, Street Fighter, etc. style which was a big no no to us since we are not really into stuff like that. It was somehow bearable for the first two exes because of witty lines (Indian dance in the middle of the fight) and impressive special effects, but the rest of the movie was literally drowned in it making it almost boring and exhausting while approaching the end. Despite of all mentioned innovations and quick pacing, the movie managed to be overlong and repetitive because of many scenes of that type. Instead of so many action scenes the movie would have benefited out of a more in depth character presentation. 

     

                 This IS a romantic movie portraying young, insecure and naive love with young protagonists. 

This IS NOT a typical romantic teen movie - far cry from that. Though on a higher level of an intelligence (yes you have to use gray cells at times) it has that Youth in Revolt, Role Models or I Love You, Beth Cooper atmosphere just as we were afraid of. This one is a bit better because it can be taken as a kind of a teenage version of Sin City. 

We are sure that any video game geek would enjoy this one as much as a kid would enjoy getting a new toy, though they might not be able to relate with Scott because he is actually dating girls and has a life.
No offense to geeks :).

If you are not expecting much of a story, like arcade video games and want to be amused by light and intelligent humor in excessive levels then this is a perfect movie for you. Those who seek for romance will be less happy because it's masked by plenty of metaphors. We don't recommend this to an older audience. 

Not much more to say then give it a try if you found yourself in the targeted audience.

Review over.

The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009)

Director:

Tom Six

Writer:

Tom Six

                The Human Centipede, the very title grabs your attention. As a two horror lovers we are always on a search for a fresh and original horror movies. We stumbled across this move a while ago, but never actually wanted to see it because we somehow tought that it was not worth watchig. It was too hard to believe that idea like this could be successfuly translated into a good movie. Even our friends who watched it told us that it was unwatchable. Since the two of us are known for watching the groosomest of the groosome movies we just couldn't betray our "good" reputation by not watching this one. We must commend the title of the movie because we realized that we have been talking about it for at least a couple of months without even watching it.

                Plot story: This is one of the bizzarest plot stories we had to write. The main character is a renowed doctor Heiter who is a retired specialist in the field of separating Siamese twins. His goal is to create a new pet for himself, and in doing so, he will use the two american girls who accidentaly stumbled across his house in a search for help and a japanese man whom he kidnapped.

                This Dutch movie was awarded for the Best Horror Feature film and the Best Actor (Dieter Laser) on the Fantastic Fest film festival that takes place on South Lamar in Austin, Texas, USA.

No wonder that the Best Actor award was given to Dieter Laser because he put on an amazing performance. His embodiment of the mad scientist can easily be put in the hall of fame of the movie mad scientists of all time (Dr. Frankestein, Dr. Brown, Dr. Strangelove,  Dr. Mabuse ...). He has a perfect physical appearance of one (the white medical robe, the facial features, his eyes and his accent). We know that it's a cliche, but he would have been the perfect nazi mad scientist (I think that, because of his looks, he has to wear a jew friendly sign on him all of the time just in case :) ). The very focus of the movie is on Dr. Heiter and his experiment. People being used for the experiment are less importnant since we don't know anything about them and you can't really relate to them. Actually, in some moments, you might even feel more sympatetic for Dr. Heiter then for them. We must point out that Ashley C. Williams (Lindsay) stood out amongst them in the way she used her eyes while being the part of the human centipede. 

                     After watching this movie we can say that we are dissapointed by some peoples opinions that this movie is dull and flat written. People have unrealistic expectations and we believe that many of them didn't get the point that this movie was aiming for. It is evident that the premise of the movie is to be a gortesque dark comedy and in a way it mocks many of the modern high budget horrors that lack originality. This clearly can be seen in the way the movie uses standard cliches souch as the flat tyre, two stranded hot chicks, no GSM reception (come on, this is Germany we are talking about), a zoomed in telephone in one of the scenes where one of them tries to escape. Considering all this, we think that people took this too seriously analysing all of those plot "holes". This movie is not even trying to be serious and we must applaud the director and the writer Tom Six for his sophisticated sense of the dark humor. Judging by everything we heard and read about this movie we expected it to be very grose, disgusting and disturbing, but it didin't have that efect on us.

Actualy we found it to be more concentrated on the idea then on the realization itself. We can't remember when was the last time we had so much laughter during or after some movie ( if you have a sense of humor like us you'll be laughing, for example, at the scene where the japanese guy has to shit and starts to pray for forgiveness while the girl on his ass has this terrified look of inevitable horror that is coming her way).

During this whole time Dr. Heiter was having the time of his life. He was excited like a little baby when he saw his relized experiment for the first time after the operation (kissing his own image in the mirror :) ). The way he treated this newly formed centipede was even more hilarious (he was training them to behave like a dog :).

                     We believe that the writer had a serious problem from trying not to laugh too much while he was coming up with this whole scenario. Since this is called the "First Sequence" we can't wait to see what will they do in the next one. The one thing that is hard not to notice is the fact that the European doctor used three non Europeans to be the part of the centiepede. This makes us imagine all sorts of the scenarios where an American doctor takes on revenge on the Europens and makes a centipede out of them :) ). That would give the whole European Union a new meaning, Europede!

                     After all said and done we would highly reccomend this movie if you are into a fresh and amusing ideas, but we are also real and know that this is not for everyone because it can easily be interpreted in a wrong way.
