ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

InformationRap 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.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Andres-Camara I think it's one of the things that makes this movie not come. The director insists on leaving the character alone, only the camera is always too far away. I think he does it to leave Gere alone on the street and see how the people around him react, but he does not realize that really, everyone who walks by his side walks without paying attention to anyone, not just him, but nobody. The movie takes a long time to start. We see him doing the same thing over and over again, always at a distance and we do not empathize. We do not know anything about him. Then it starts and you only see that he complains about everything, even when he can have a help and be able to pull up complains. Yes, nobody deserves to be like this, but if they try to help you, thank them and take them. We almost got to know more other characters than him.Even so, the actors are great. I find it curious to see from time to time how Richard is and how he escapes that walk of person with a lot of class and style, I have always thought that he was one of the actors with the most cinema style. Although it tries to walk like collapsed but sometimes it can not avoid it and they escape to him.I do not like photography, I do not think you have to make a bad photograph to talk about the street. It would have to be cold because of the situation but not insipid.I am very pleased that you have done that haircut with piercing and that you see the scar. If I had it long I understand that this bad cut but being short why?The director does not know how boring it is. If we had known why it is there and how it happens in a more enjoyable way, the film would have won. Only knows how to place the camera at a distance and only manages to leave you at a distance from the character. It makes a long film, too long and the end, which for me is not closed, it will serve him, not me.I would not see her again

Peter Pluymers "Cause...normally, it's...you know, the parents takes care of the kid. Not really the other way around." After watching "Time out of mind" I felt pity and at the same time a kind of relief coming over me. I pitied George who tries to escape the cold daily by hiding in the waiting room of a hospital or just riding the subway through New York. Pity because he always has to find himself a new coat to withstand the freezing cold because he traded his last one in a pawnshop for a bit of cash again. Pity because usually this money is needed to buy some cheap alcohol. Pity because it's difficult for homeless people to pick up the thread again or to be in order with the bureaucratic whirligig. And in addition, I felt this relief because I'm not living in such a hopeless situation and I don't need to struggle for survival all the time. Relieved because I do possess what these homeless people are missing.My greatest admiration goes out to Richard Gere who succeeded seemingly effortlessly in changing into a person who's standing on the precipice of society. Despite George's unshaven and scruffy appearance, you still can catch a glimpse of Gere's good looks and seductive gaze at times. Even the social assistant who interviews him notices that. But Gere wasn't the most obvious choice in my opinion. It's the most contrarian part he could play, compared to his previous acting. George is the opposite of the characters he played in "American Gigolo" and "Pretty Woman". As Gere himself in real life, these characters are wealthy and without deficiencies. And still Gere manages to come across as the poor man who can't find a way out of the vicious circle he finds himself in. In other words, I'm starting to like the actor Gere more and more. Maybe it has to do with his age. Just like in "The Benefactor" it's not an obvious role or something to get credits for in an easy way. The only weak point in "The Benefactor" was the story on its own. Gere's acting on the other hand was sublime and admirable.The story may seem rather long-winded, with a lot of boring intervals. However, it felt like the image sought to include George's everyday life. A useless existence with many moments where he's observing things expressionless, dozing off once and a while and patiently waiting until he can return to the safe city center for the homeless. Not that George stays there with conviction and pleasure. In his eyes, this is probably the low point in his sad life and he tried to avoid it as long as possible. The New York city life serves as a soundtrack. Bits of music you can hear from a random bar, followed by a random conversation held by a stranger on the phone or the loud music from a passing car. And this interspersed with images taken from afar out of different angles where we see George as a key figure in the center of this cacophony. A symbolic image that shows how insignificant he is as a person in this metropolis.You can hardly call this movie a real crowd puller. And many who saw it, will probably claim that it's slow and monotonous. And although that was also my first impression, the film gradually fascinated me more and more. It's been a long time since I enjoyed an interaction between two totally different people like the one here with George and Dixon (Ben Vereen), an ancien among the homeless whose blabbering starts to annoy George from the beginning. Everyone will recognize Ben Vereen from a TV movie, but he was really unrecognizable in this movie. Although the attempt to pick up the thread again when it concerns his daughter Maggie (Jena Malone), this part of the story seems to become less important in relation to the larger whole. The way the movie ends seems simplistic and minimalistic. And yet the end fits perfectly with the rest of the film. "Time out of mind" at least impressed me.More reviews here : http://bit.ly/1KIdQMT

Howlin Wolf I admire what the film was trying to do, but all I got from it is that homelessness is a sad and unfortunate situation. I knew that before I watched the film; you don't need to take two hours to tell me that. I care about homelessness as a general issue, but if you're going to make me spend so much time with someone, then you need to give me a reason beyond his immediate circumstance to care about THIS particular person, and for all Gere's fine acting, I didn't feel that the film achieved that.Making a documentary about people who sleep rough would be so much more emotional than the cliché of Hollywood star being made to slum it, and trying to get us to buy into them reconnecting with their estranged family... All the innovative camera angles in the world can't disguise the thinness of the main story.

davideo-2 STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning George (Richard Gere) is a man who's found himself on the downside of life, wondering aimlessly as a homeless man on the streets of New York. Aside from finding a place to sleep for the night, and hustling for spare change here and there, he desperately tries to get reacquainted with his estranged daughter, Maggie (Jena Malone) to little avail. Upon finding sanctuary in the latest in a long line of shelters, he forms a friendship with the enigmatic Dixon (Ben Vereen), which sets him on the road to the final resolution.You can remain a household name for many years after your heyday, so it's all the more surprising that in Oren Moverman's Time Out of Mind, an offbeat indie offering not meant for mainstream fare, that former Hollywood icon Richard Gere was able to meander around the streets of New York, virtually unnoticed while playing his character. This would attest that people notice what the person is before they see who they are, and that serves to add credence to Moverman's stand on the plight of the homeless.The independent feel really shines through, giving it an art house look that sets it in place for what it was meant to be. Of all the locations where films are shot, New York is always plastered in the most glamorous light, but here that veneer is coldly stripped away, giving a blurry, depressing downward glance into all the nooks and crannies you'd never see in a tourist brochure. The 'real life' filming style combines with the quiet, blurry atmosphere to create quite a haunting experience.In a role out of his norm, but close to his heart, Gere immerses himself in his role, the former heartthrob star now giving way to playing a bedraggled, cut and bruised older man. While his performance is absorbing, the mystery of who he is and how he arrived in this state also keeps you wondering. Although it's never really explained, you leave with no less of a downbeat but revealing experience. ****
