Fireheart: The Legend of Tadas Blinda (2011)

the leading man is my tpye

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

not great. not impressive. only beautiful. for landscape. for romance/fight/politic/nationalism/myth slices. for the not bad performance of actors. for use of historical movie recipes. it is result of important work of Lithuanian cinema and this fact is essential when you see it. because it is easy to compare it with another movies or remark a not remarkable story or accuse it by to much idyllic manner to present history. but it is a promised beginning and nice clothes for good intentions. and this remains basic fact for a cinematography who desires to define itself. the superb images, the heroic way, the actors and the script are parts of a movie who enjoy the public. and Mantas Jankavicius is inspired choice for lead character. for Donatas Ulvydas - applause for this almost seductive project.

This was not a great movie, I cannot understand the general rating for this and why it is so high. The lead actor, who is a singer did not do a good job. During his entire performances it was very hard to believe in what he does. I would say, not mad enough, for some parts of the movie and the for the character that he wanted to portray. The directors work is very questionable as well, most of the major scenes in the movie that actually had a slight chance to involve viewers into action, where broken. The action was transferred and compared to another scene in the movie, making it really hard to concentrate and figure out what is going on. Also one of the vital questions that a movie has to answer is "why?". Why is it that we show what we show, etc., etc., etc. Unfortunately there were to many parts in the movie when I was not able to figure out an answer. It is unpleasant to sound so negative, really. But in the final end it all comes down to one question. Would you recommend this movie to a friend or anyone interested? The verdict: Not recommended.

The true is that I was waiting this movie all summer and when I was able to see it on the theater I was so thrilled and so excited. The main actor Mantas Jankavicius is a singer and this was his first time when he was acting, like acting for REAL and I was very impressed and very happy because he made his role perfectly! Even Agne Ditkovskyte's ,who is real actor, role wasn't so good as I expected. But altogether the acting was kind of good. The other thing which impressed me was the nature of Lithuania and how had director conveyed that beauty. Third thing why you have to see this movie is that this is maybe the first time when Lithuanians can be proud by their country in the films industry cause this film is worth to be well-known.

Greetings from Lithuania.Going to be short here. This is a pretty good movie. Actually this is a very good movie and if you've seen any other movies from Lithuania, you'll know what i mean. The cast is good, and i think all actors did a really good job in this one. And as a lead Mantas Jankavicius, he is OK too. The plot (YES, a film from LT finally has one) is quite good. But the biggest star of this movie is a nature. It is breathtakingly beautiful. It's not "Gladiator" or a "Braveheart", but it's a very well made film, that will leave some audiences wanting for more. Bravo, tai gali tapti Lietuvisko kino renesansu!!!
