My girlfriend and I borrowed "The Singing Forest" from the library because the DVD cover is two guys in Nazi uniforms making out, but the movie takes place entirely in modern times, they weren't Nazis anyway, and that scene never happened. In many scenes you can't hear the dialogue over traffic outside or the waves at the beach. Also, the next-door neighbor seems to have a dog. Judging by the dialogue we could hear, I don't think we were really missing anything groundbreaking anyhow. I don't recommend that anyone watch this movie for any reason. "The Singing Forest" has zero entertainment value in that it wasn't hilariously bad, it was just bad.

This is a fine example of independent film making. The director/writer is not bound by convention. Those critical of photography and other technical "flaws" miss the point. A film can be more than a technical achievement. Though Mr. Ameer does handle the technical aspects admirably and creatively considering resources which were clearly meager. I think the essence of independent film making lies more in a director following a vision. The story is daring and reflect a fearlessness in Mr. Ameers' approach. I have spent countless hours watching movies that I've forgotten the next day, but for it's flaws and successes and the conversation it has inspired I would recommend this film to anyone with an interest in film that goes deeper than big budget excitement and gloss.

I liked the actors and the cast. I like how the director puts himself out there, specially with his cameo. It was a very refreshing and original story. The dad did a good job. It had a few scenes that could have been omitted, yet the execution was good. I liked the story, actors did a good job in portraying the story. I thought it was controversial because of the references to the Nazi concentration and the reincarnation stuff was pretty out there. But you would definitely recommend because it is a breath of fresh air, an original screenplay, that plays with your mind and causes you to examine and question your existence.

"The Singing Forest" is about two lover's from the 1930's Poland that were both executed during the war under Hitler and re-incarnated in the present day. The subject matter is very thought provoking and interesting to me. I tend to like paranormal stories. I thought the concept of two lost souls being reunited by "Destiny" was inventive. I like the film as a whole and, as an independent production with a low budget, it was put together well. I would love to see this film remade with a bigger budget. As far as, Jorge Amir, He did a great job with direction and camera but had a bit of trouble with the sound. In the scene at the ocean, the waves completely made the dialogue inaudible, Note to directors: Always mic your actors near water, airports and roadways.I give this a 6 stars out of 10. I look forward to future endeavors from Mr. Amir.
