Silber und das Buch der Träume

This is a story for teen-aged girls. I don't say that as a criticism, but to set expectations. I got half-way thru it and had to quit. The story is too simple, with no real backstory, and too saccharin for most adults. It could use a dose of darkness to up the age appeal - even Dr Who does that in it's modern incarnation.

I do think it is well produced and well acted by the young adults actors. It has generally good visuals and not cheap CGI. Parts of the dialog are in German without subtitles so I had to watch with closed caption.

Checkout The Magicians for an example of an adult-oriented fantasy magic story.

I've read the book more then 100 Times and so I know every detail. To be honest I think the director of the movie never read the book because not even 1 detail is like the book. The entire Plot of the Movie is different. If I hadn't this emotional connection to the Book I would give 1 Star even that the Movie is nothing like the Book. Was it to hard to stick to the Book like why is Liv's dad death and not living in Germany. An really Graysons wish being to be Students President what a joke. I am actually sad about how nothing from the book is adapted and Characters are just not there even my favourite character Lotti is just not there.

I just finished watching 'Silver and the Book of Dreams' and wanted to share my thoughts. It was a decent film, everyone involved did a great job.

The visuals were pretty cool, with some imaginative landscapes and interesting stuff in the dream hall in particular. They added a nice touch to the overall experience.

The characters were well portrayed, and the cast did a great job bringing them to life. While I didn't feel a deep connection to them, they were still enjoyable to watch, and I really liked the group dynamics.

The music was nice and complemented the film well, but it didn't leave a lasting impression on me.

Overall, 'Silver and the Book of Dreams' is worth a watch if you're a fan of fantasy films. It may not be the most mind-blowing one out there, but everyone involved put in a great effort, and it's a really solid film.

I just don't understand why some people are against this film! Seriously, I know it's not like this precious book you love, but get over it! It's mind-boggling to me. I mean, come on, the visuals were absolutely stunning! The way they brought the fantasy world to life was fantastic, and just like how kerstin gier describes. And let's not forget about the cast! They did an incredible job portraying the characters and making them feel so real.

I think sometimes people just expect too much or have different preferences when it comes to movies. But for me, "Silver and the Book of Dreams" was a good film that kept me hooked from start to finish. It's a shame that not everyone sees it that way.

So, I'd say give it a watch and let yourself be immersed in the fun new world of "Silver and the Book of Dreams". I'd love to hear what you think after you've seen it.

Normally I like a taut 90 minute-ish film, but I could have done with this being a bit longer. There's little to no characterisation, making it hard to understand the villains' motivations, or root for the good guys. I had more questions than answers about the mechanics of the dream world at the end too. Tonally it's odd as well - at first I thought it was a kids' film, but there's loads of effing and jeffing. Also, all the 'kids' have tattoos - what's happening there? (Or maybe I just got old.) It does have some very pretty visuals, but that's about the only thing I enjoyed. It just didn't come together for me.
