The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)
A Triumph!:)
This movie is poignant, thought- provoking and much more. After i watched the movie i felt very emotional and threathened by not only how the main non-fictional protagonist handled his financial problems on a new and dramatic level, but also how he exhibited his determination and resilence on a extreme and positive level! you can't help but learn not just from chris who followed his dream and ingrained that mentality on his beautiful son, who also was a fighter and looked up to his father but, also the movie- how it shows the struggles and lows of chris and his family and the negative people (his evil wife- linda-ggrrr....i wanted to hit her!, the guy who he shown the cube puzzle to, who eventually turned out to be good and co-operative, the guy who he kept getting food and coffee for-gggrrr....a**hole!-seriously)chris encounters. It didn't bother him, at all, he still had to do what he had to do...no matter what! 'The Pursuit of Happiness' is a movie that is dramatic, too realistic and one that is impeccably acted and handled with empathy and care, by the brilliant man himself mr will smith, who showed so much anger and faith in himself and his talented real-life son who played his character so well with sadness and empathy.
i recommend this movie to anyone who wants to feel captivated and inspired by this true story of a movie! It will make you feel happy (good ending- although predictable!), sad and joyful for both chris and his son! What a movie!9/10:)
Romanzo criminale (2005)
Domination of Rome?
This movie has to be one of the best I've seen in 2006. It has drama, deception, betrayal, disloyalty & more all rolled into one. Each & everyone of the gang members questions their own 'friends' or 'brothers' loyalty or trust. The acting is *S*U*P*E*R*B* esp. by the talented and quite handsome Kim Rossi Stuart who stands out as the 'real man', i.e. the guy who not afraid to portray his true feelings, who wants out, wants to start afresh and so on.
The whole beauty and uniqueness of this movie includes Michele Placido's ability to portray all the five gangsters as having their own distinctive and disturbing mannerism/character. It's so effortlessly exhibited by all five gangsters who are so obsessed with greed & power. One of the gangsters (Lebanese) his idols include, Tiberius, Hitler, Mussolini et al. He wants to become like them, to dominate Rome & become no.1....but at a price!
***SPOLIERS***
Favouite parts?Has to be where Ice insists on avenging Lebanese's death and goes to extreme lengths to find his killer!The scene where Black, Dandy and Ice are in their secret hideaway discussing further plans is just so enthralling. The sheer acting & the composition of the actors is perfect and sinister. The camera couldn't have captured a better shot! Whenever a gangster died the viewer was transported back to the time when they were children, running away from the police (they stole a car!). Without a doubt was it very emotional and heartbreaking. I mean these gangsters have known each other since there were ten years old, the money became their flaw, the permanent boundary in their friendship...god...brings a tear to my eye!*sniff* aaww...another favourite scene include the part where Ice meticulously and effortlessly escapes from prison to be with roberta!it's a classic element of 'gansterism' and suspension.
IT'S A MUST SEE MOVIE! WATCH IT...BE ENTERTAINED...SICKENED (yes, it's extremely BLOODY violent!) & MORE! Definite 9/10 for the acting, cinematography, direction, characterisation, politics & more! i gotta see it again!
Time: 152mins and yes it goes by very quickly because the viewer is so glued and mesmerised by the acting and suspension!
Ciao!
3rd Rock from the Sun (1996)
HILARIOUS SHOW!:)
My god, this was & still is one of my favourite tv shows, ever! "3rdrock" wasn't only funny & enjoyable, it was very innovative, original, creative & ingenious. The majority of the time i would find myself crying of laughter due to Dick's stubborness & Harry's silly behaviour/acts! :) i was absolutely gutted when NBC decided to discontinue the show! couldn't they exit another show? why o why, man??? *sniffle* it wasn't your "typical american comedy show"-it was different & just so funny! definitely 10+! :)
