Cache

Cache was One of the most psychotic movies i have ever watched.
I went into this movie not knowing what is going on and came out of it still confused staring at the screen desperately looking for a clue. The director, Michael Haneke introduced this movie to us with the point of view of this french couple watching a tape recording of the exterior space of their house. this movie started off with several questions and it ended with more questions. This french family received several tape recordings of different places and they were tying to see how these recordings connect to each other. The Cache image behind this movie had a historical aspect to it. It took the main character, Georges, to his past and childhood. Even though at the end of the movie we still do not know, or I should say, do not have an evidence who had been the one sending the tapes, i have a guess. With the facts that we are given in the movie, we want to blame Majid, this poor child who was taken in by Georges parents when he was very young and abundant by his real parents. With the facts that Georges gives us, we expect Majid to be the one sending these tapes; but when we meet him in the second half of the movie, the hatred he has toward Georges, as we were told, is very hidden and not visible at all to a point where I take him as very innocent poor man just hap[y to see an old friend. This movie is more complex than we think. Its simplicity makes it complex. This family lives a very simple and normal life, while the past has brought a twist and complexity among them. The recoded tapes are of such simple scenes but yet have a great twist from the past that makes them very important. I personally did not like this movie very much. I like the aspect of not knowing everything about the story that is being told and try and solve the mystery myself; But this movie took it to the extend and gave us a very hard problem to solve without any good hints or facts to help us make some sense out of the story.
