DVD Reviews of Strings
DVD Review: a tale for the ages
Summary: 5 Stars
Strings is the height of creativity. The movie is visually stunning and beautifully made. It's not just for marionette enthusiasts but is truly enjoyable for everyone! DVD Review: Subtly Theological
Summary: 5 Stars
As with most fantasy movies, there are many perspectives from which you can watch "Strings". The puppetry, music, movement and visuals are impressive, but for me, that was all secondary to the underlying truths. Emphasizing the interconnectedness of all people, the existence of an ultimate reality, the absurdity of war, the danger of avoiding self-critique and the importance of being open to a different way of living, I would not see this as a child movie that adults could enjoy; rather a serious adult movie that children might find entertaining.DVD Review: BEST movie suprise ever!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Every now and again I find a movie that is so far off the charts different, that I cant help but love it. Strings is easily the most intriguing, imaginative, and alternative movie I have ever sceen! The best way to describe it is the serious storyline of Gladiator, only the puppets from Team America World Police....not a joke. The story itself is captivating, the way they incorporate all of the puppets is just mind blowing. This Movie is easily my top 10 of all time!DVD Review: You have never seen anything like this
Summary: 5 Stars
Imagine, puppets that put the ones in Team America to shame. Imagine a story that surprises and moves you at every turn. Imagine a world that is completely unique.
That is Strings, a fairy tale told in a world where everyone is a puppet, with a string reaching to the sky. If the headstring is cut, the puppet dies. When a new puppet is "born," a thread unravels from the mother's headstring and is tied to its head.
This is a story that is on par with Star Wars for imagination. Great acting, proving that even motionless puppet faces can make you feel real emotion.
DVD Review: different
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a very interesting show, reminiscent of Jim Henson's Dark Crystal, only darker in tone and storyline. With that in mind, I would warn that this one is NOT a childrens' show. There are a few disturbing images, such as removing a hand from a live marionette to replace an injured hand on the prince.
Description of Strings
Anders R?nnow Klarlund's stunning new film imagines a mythical kingdom populated entirely by stringed puppets. The Emperor of Hebalon dies a dramatic death, taking a terrible secret to the grave with him. His young son, Hal Tara, is set to take over the throne, however, his uncle leads him to believe his father was murdered by the Zeriths, their sworn enemy. Forced to set out to avenge his father's death, Hal is unaware of the perils he is facing, both inside his kingdom and out. As he faces new challenges on this journey, he ends up discovering the truth about his own people - and where he least expects it - he finds true love. A dramatic tale of adventure, bondage and liberation; of love and war, destiny and vitality, identity and common humanity, Strings is a magical blend of themes that range from Shakespeare to Star Wars to The Lord of the Rings.Feature Films DVDs
