Nice effects though.
Absolutely Fantastic
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Copenhagen (1937)*** (out of 4)Another good entry in James A. FitzPatrick's TravelTalks series. This one here takes us to Copenhagen where we learn that it's the largest city in Northern Europe and that most of the descendent's were Vikings. From here we learn about the fishing and flower industries as well as the "open air lifestyle" the government asks for, which is basically just meaning for people to get out and enjoy the air. From here we see the legendary mermaid statue based around Hans Christian Anderson. Finally, the big selling point of this short is seeing all the bicycles and how they're the main transportation throughout the city. We learn that there's one bike for every three people and that the bikes have full control of the streets. In fact, the cars really seem out of place and at times it's hilarious watching the people on bicycles cut off the cars without any hesitation. This here is certainly one of the better entries in the series.
