This review is from: The Brave / The Piano II aka The Man Who Cried (2 DVD set - Import) (DVD)

These days when I watch a movie I find myself unable to suspend my disbelief and get into the story. What I mean is that I'm constantly aware that I'm watching a movie. This was a movie where I was able to loose myself in the story. I felt like I was really watching a man taking a desperate measure to save his family. In the film, Depp's character makes a deal to sell himself to some men who want to make him the star of their Snuff film. I felt myself being able to wonder what such a situation would be like as I watched Depp playing the character and I found myself actually hoping he would find a way out of his situation. Whether he got out of it or not I will not say as to do so would ruin the movie to an extent. WIth all the garbage that Hollywood produces it's a shame that a great film like this isn't released in the states. When I bought The Brave it came with another Depp movie called the PIANO II as part of a two pack. For me pursonally, the PIANO II was one of the biggest peices of crap I've seen in awhile but I got both movies for a price that I would have gladly paid for THE BRAVE DVD by itself.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Little Films, July 7, 2006

The review stating that The Brave has a glitch in its smooth play on a DVD player was submitted well before I purchased this set myself. I took a chance, and for that I was rewarded with a perfectly functional two-disc set. Both films play perfectly on the DVD player. Perhaps it was simply a bad print on the previous reviewer's disc.

Both films are excellent, the acting shines, and if you are a fan of either Johnny Depp or of the Indie film genre (or both) then this set is definitely for you. Do not expect great action sequences or explosions, this is not Pirates. This is film brought down to its most basic layers: good script and superb acting.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Brave - A compelling depiction of devoir and sacrifice, April 3, 2007

This is a positively overwhelming depiction of bravery and tenderness. The quiet fear Johnny Depp expresses in the first trip to the warehouse is perfect. I was so tense at the warehouse scenes my stomach was in a knot. My whole body was tense the entire movie. Johnny Depp managed to produce a suspensful thriller with no loud noises, no crashing vehicles and very little gore. It's brilliant with a David Lynch-like quality, sprinkled with playfullness. Definitely buy and watch this, even if you're not a Johnny Depp groupie. And if you are a groupie, he's in almost every scene. I read a review which said this was a slow-moving picture. Those with this opinion must be jaded people with no empathy.
