Very Cool!!!

Fantastic!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

In the centre of the storyline there are two male patients whose days are numbered. They have fatal diseases, but they don't want to die in the hospital. So they decide to escape and enjoy the last days of their lives. There are a lot of films about the life's value but this is the most memorable one, in my opinion. Despite the fact that the theme of the movie is very serious, it is a great comedy. The main message of the film is "Fear is stupid". This movie makes you rethink your vision of life and leaves behind a sense of sadness and, at the same time the ease. It leaves you feeling the sea breeze on your face after watching. There is an interesting fact: this movie is full of so-called "movie flubs". For example, in one shot we can see legs of the camera crew, in the other - the crew is reflected in the glasses pf one of the actors, etc. Although I watched the film numerous times, I'd never noticed these flubs, until I read about them on the one website. For me this is a sign of the plot completely preoccupying the audience. I think that it's one of the movies you can watch over and over again and "update" your feelings and emotions on the transience of life and the absurdity of many of the conventionalities.

There is a play which it's context is like that in "Knockin' on Heaven's Door". It's name is "Two subtract". Morever, we have watched other movie "Bucket List" before about two old man which scape hospital near their dead times. But "knockin' on Heaven's door" distinguish itself somehow from others by some different aspects. I think one of this different aspects exists about "Aura" concept! From my point of view, in this film there is an invisible aura around major characters and this aura protects them from all the dangerous things around them. Look at the sequence which they have been besieged from two sides by gangsters and police officers; however, they can run away. there is a spectacle Mise-en-scene here,too. Some vertical camera angles which shoot from up in the sky and exhibiting how that invisible aura protects two young man. "knockin' on Heaven's Door" is a lovable movie because there is an aura around it which make us an obligation for loving it!

European movies do have this feature: they combine drama and comedy and make you smile because it is too sad to cry. Moreover, this particular film has a perfectly selected crew and the screenplay is flawless.To have a dream. This masterpiece is all about it.Two men, trapped by cancer unconsciously recognizing the sea as the symbol of freedom and eternity are making their last 500 km to the Baltic Sea.Acting at its best the crew is offering us this warm feeling of sad happiness while singing Guns&Roses "Knock, knock, knockin' on the heaven's doors" and understanding, that such moments do make life.

This is easily one of the best films that I have seen in a long time and certainly the best of its modern gangster genre. The plot is maybe a touch formulaic but that fits well as the whole film pokes fun of many of the clichees that Hollywood pictures like Pulp Fiction take a little too seriously. Actually, I have heard many people compare it to Pulp Fiction, but the only real similarity I found is in its frenetic style and odd sense of humor. As for humor, the subtitles are well done, so you don't lose much in the translation.
