Love.net

First off - if some of the people here think that in any way they can express some patriotic statements and miss-leading ratings based on that in the global network, in a global site like IMDb - man, isn't that something not so clever..?

Second - categorizing people by terms and behavior, in a movie review website is a sign that something is really wrong with the person doing it..

Now, back to the review. To be honest - I've watched the movie long ago, and don't remember much concrete parts of it. But what's left is the most important - the feeling is alive. What comes to my mind when hearing about Love.net is "oh, I enjoyed it!". It doesn't matter if I'm a Bulgarian, Uzbek or Marsian, the fact is that I'll watch the movie again, not to return here and write a bunch of stuff to you, but because I have the feeling that I enjoyed the movie and I want to remember the details that made me feel this way. Love.net was, in my mind, the first truly modern Bulgarian Film Project. A movie, quite similar to US movies in ways of technical, aesthetic and visual appeal. One of the first Bulgarian movies, which is talking about something in the present and in the past.

I gave the movie rate 7 out of 10, because I remember that somehow the subject incorporated in the screenplay was good, but not deep enough. All in all - nice one.

I did watch the movie somehow late, just now on TV. I was however gladly surprised: Bulgarian movies are usually in the extremity of being so pretentious in being art or too populist in being consumer oriented. Love.net for me is just on the balance of being a genuinely good movie and good entertainment for those interested in having good value for their tickets. Let me try to explain why this worked for me.

1. The story told in the movies is real. This could happen anywhere in the world with people speaking Bulgarian, English, Spanish or Chinese for all it matters. The moral choices the protagonists have to make to make sense and could relate to anybody in our internet world. This is why the movie should not be seen as Bulgarian as staging and the showcases lifestyle is not the lifestyle most Bulgarians enjoy, but this is how anybody in the world that has similar problem would live, and I do dare to say Bulgaria is right on the money there.

2. The movie is good fun: perhaps too much nudity in some scenes, but again this is art: the scenes are from a very successful staging of Casanova at the national theater.

Yes, I do agree there are some flat lines, but give some proper English translation and all will be fine.

It's a metaphor! The film ''Love dot net'' new approach are reinterpreting luxury with a western attitude that embodies the relaxed vibe of this part of scenario - one of the reasons I tipped it as one of the top film to watch in 2023! My wish for you in 2023? That you embrace the new year ready to travel the world and enjoy all that it offers! The start of a new year offers an opportunity to draw up lists of resolutions, and in our case, that means deciding which destinations around the world we want to visit and cherish! In whatever month you watch ''Love dot net'' movie, it is always warm during the day and chillout at night. ''Love dot net'' is a Bulgarian film, whom is not advertising specific hip hop group called ''Upsurt'' like stundup comedy and rolling commercials over the last 25 years ''bulgarian time.'' Has comprehensive from creative ideas to production and post reality. Profiled in marketing and management of concerts and corporate events as well as design and construction! Acting play perfomances of all cast and crew set and scenography. ''Love dot net'', I believe have will gathered acclaim at prestigions international film festivals and have been successful at the domestic box office!

The topic is quite vivid.It is about people seeking love on the Internet.But there are too many lines which could make you confused.Some lines are lack of freshness and logic.The only story which attracts me is the doctor falls in love with his wife on the net.Too many nude scenes make me disgusting.I also don't like Sony laptop advertisement in the movie,which makes the movie monotonous. Beautiful indoor decoration which shows up everywhere in the movie may make you feel Bulgaria is a quite rich country.The whole movie is quite idealistic,stories are sure not going that way if put in real life.

Anyway this is a highly rated movie.But you won't waste your time watching it if your requirements are not too high.Because you may have the same experience with some of the people in the movies since it is so close to our everyday life.But I just feel it could have been a better movie around the topic cyber love.It could have been as great as movie Crash.I can only rate it 6 and.It is quite a pity you have a good story but don't know how to tell.

I completely agree with the person who says that the 8,4 score is a joke. It is as false as the movie itself. I disagree with the other person on the account of the actors' performance, camera work, music, etc. The acting is so bad that I wanted to leave the cinema in the first few minutes. The actors recite their lines as if they were in some third class theatre play. Shopov utters his words with a pompous, almost tragic intonation but may be the worst is the actress who struggles with the English as well as with the lines in Bulgarian.

There are lots of shortcomings, I just don't know where to start. The script is not very good, there are lots of clumsy lines which make the job of the not very talented actors even more difficult. The music is quite obtrusive, non-stopping and plain annoying. The exaggerated, unnecessary camera movements increase the nausea, already present in the viewer. Bulgarian film makers don't understand that less is always more, especially when a real concept and ability is lacking.

When I say that this movie is false I mean that it gives an untrue picture of the life in Bulgaria. Yes, there are some affluent and even very rich people there but if you judge from the film only, it looks as if Bulgaria has reached and surpassed the life standard of Western Europe which of course is far, far from the bleak reality. May be this is one reason why many Bulgarian viewers like the film - it makes them forget the ugly apartments they inhabit, the run-down streets, the poverty, etc. In the film we see interiors looking as photographs in a furniture store catalogue, everything is overly coordinated and unreal, yet far from stylish. One of the couples in the film ate sushi which provoked some excitement from the audience, oblivious to the fact that they were eating the sushi with fork and knife! Another problem of the film is the product positioning - everybody seems to use the same type of computer and drink the same brand of whiskey. And the list could go on and on.

I think the biggest problem in Bulgarian cinema now is not the the lack of finance but the lack of real, original talent. The tendency is to make films which follow all the bad Hollywood clichés because the film makers think that in this way the movie will appeal to the Western audience. Wrong! Just look for comparison to the Romanian '4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days'.
