Was looking forward to seeing this, but the immediate use of the handy cam or "shaky cam" got me too annoyed and distracted to really get into it. Had to turn it off after 10 minutes.. Did get me interested in the subject though.
The untold stories, the hidden side of the so-called modern societies. Intriguingly terrifying! However, why is it always about the Nazi? I'd really see a movie about other politic parties like the zionists for example.
So, was this film based on true events, like how Titanic was based on true events, because, what Lena and Daniel went through, is straight out of a movie.Without this picture showing us the true nature of what it means to be a part of the cause Daniel was fighting for, his brethren seem pretty selfish, cowardice and without integrity. They just seemed all too willing to allow Daniel to fend for himself.For me personally, it would've made more sense for the Allende supporters to be the ones who orchestrate some sort of rescue, instead of Lena, seeing as, the strength of Lena and Daniel's bond is a mystery. If anything, given what she said when she entered his home, one would believe they're only just really, getting acquainted. Unless, that was their idea of playful banter and flirting.Nevertheless, Colonia is quite intense, and Emma Watson gives a charming performance. Daniel Bruhl, perhaps not his best outing, but, he is proficient, and the composition is very capable. The plot and story kept a gripping enough pace and what happened to Ursel, was somewhat heartfelt.A capturing, 7/10.
A young woman's desperate search for her abducted boyfriend that draws her into the infamous Colonia Dignidad, a sect nobody has ever escaped from. I never knew anything about this story until i saw Colonia starring Emma Watson, Michael Nyqvist and Daniel Bruhl and i gotta say although the film started a bit strange and it was slowly paced the 3rd act really made the film way better for me and although you might not get the whole plot very serious like i did at first once you see the end credits you will understand more about it and how this whole thing worked but overall great acting by the 3 leading stars, suspense and a story that more people need to know more about (7.5/10)
