Power Rangers (2017)
All I wanted was given to me
It plays the original theme. The end. Not on orchestral version, not a dub-step version, the original theme plays. All I ever wanted from this movie.
How can you ask more from this movie, when it got this right. That's all I've begged for in my entire life.
Celui qui doit mourir (1957)
Why you must watch this
I'm Greek, so this may be a bit biased, but I'm an atheist and the movie moved me both in spiritual ways, as well as religious ways. It's not insulting to those who believe, the exact opposite.
It's a thought provoking film that treads on the line of spirituality without telling you that it's wrong or right to believe but rather shows you deeper motives on why was Christ crucified.
It shows you the kindness and brutality and stupidity of human nature, that exists in all of us. The acting is brilliant by every single cast member, the settings are wonderful, the music does it's job without overdramatizing anything, the situations the characters are put in, are enough for that.
And this film, portrays that like few have.
Brazil (1985)
A Masterpiece?
Of I was to pick one favorite movie, then that movie would be totally Brazil. For your information, I'm not a Terry Gilliam fan boy in any sense, but this movie, in my honest opinion, is a work of genius.
Brazil is a movie released in 1985 and is widely known because of the battle Terry Gilliam fought against Universal, finally succeeding in convincing the studio to release his intended version. The film is based a lot in George Orwell's 1984, but in a more funny and retro-futuristic way.
Brazil is one of those films hard to define, I could say it's a Sci-Fi Satire, but some people found it tragic at points, I personally cried at the end. I can say it's very nostalgic look at the 80′s and a very sad projection of the humanity's future. It can be said that Brazil is standing exactly in the middle between Comedy and Drama, being neither.
The plot resolves around a person called Sam Lowry.
Early on, however it appears that Sam Lowry is living in his dreams, where he has the chance to be brave and fight for the woman he loves.
Sam is working in the Ministry of Information, when suddenly a mistake happens in the system. The police gets an innocent man, instead of the terrorist. So Sam Lowry is asked to go and fix it. However the harder he tries, the harder things become to explain, and Sam is caught inside the mess. To add to that, he sees the woman of his dreams in flesh and blood in front of him. Throughout the film, Gilliam is showing us the lunacy of the bureaucracy, and the complete misuse of technology which instead of making stuff more simple, makes them more complicated.
What I absolutely love in the movie is that it takes a pretty normal sci-fi scenario, mixes a bit with noir and dreams and when you think you're seeing a typical sci-fi movie, the ending comes, and all becomes evident. It also features Sam Lowry, a character I could totally relate to. A complete pussy in real life and a hero in his dreams. Aren't we all a bit braver in our head after all? As for the music, it's in my honest opinion the most amazing soundtrack. I occasionally hum or whistle the theme song. Some of the same music was used in Wall-E.
The movie is named after the theme song, which is a Frank Sinatra song. Some also claim that it's called because of Brazil not having extradition procedures, but it's really because of the song ("Aquarela do Brazil").
Terry Gilliam actually named the film after that song, only because he had this phrase "It's only a state of mind" indicating that the protagonist lives in his own version of the world, which he got when one day, at a beach in the UK, he saw a man humming that song, while the weather was rather nasty.
Brazil is exactly like a sci-fi movie of the 80′s, except that it's not. At one point, I recall I was about to turn off the movie, and then on the next second, I was crying. Just watch till the end.
After all it's only a state of mind.
