The Story of Havana
Advantages: A very artistic film
Disadvantages: None
This very controversial film about the crisis faced by an upper middle-class Cuban family during free Havana's last days was directed and produced by Andy Garcia.The film was a tribute to his native Cuba.Garcia , the son of a Cuban immigrant , played the lead role too.This was an acclaimed big-time film which was 16 years in the making.
The film when released was ripped apart by the critics, who was criticised for distorting facts about the Cuban ...
...critic "In a movie about the Cuban revolution, we almost never see any of the working poor for whom the revolution was supposedly fought"..many film festivals refused to screen it.However, withstanding all that it went on to become one of the great movies made on Cuban revolution, with many claiming that it was a true depiction.
Criticisms apart, the film is very interesting and extremely well made.
It is the story of Fico Fellove (Andy Garcia) ...

Advantages: everything!
Disadvantages: it ends!
this movie came out around a year ago and since i have unlimited access to the cinema and there was nothing great to watch i decided to settle for this. me, my brother and my sister decided to watch it but as soon as we enetered weall thought we would regret it after seeing there were only little children there with their families! however you begin to learn how phenomenal this movie is and how it captures childhood and brings back memories all of ...

Perfume is beautifully artistic, and utterly disturbing.
Advantages: Interesting storyline, brilliant concept, brilliantly acted.
Disadvantages: A far out arty film, maybe not for a broad spectrum audience as other films might be.
...they live on in the perfume that is created so their beauty lives on; the essence of their being still exists. I also thought the costume was great. A lot of research had obviously gone into 18th century French attire for this film, and although the majority of the film is set in the poorest parts of society, so the clothes are simple, the attention to detail is wonderful. The film recreates the dirty, smelly atmosphere of the period, and you see ...
...The theme of perfume is a very unusual concept, and a very interesting subject. You learn a lot about how perfume is made, and because it is teamed with murder, it makes it a most interesting subject. Another contrast is created by the perfume of classes of society; the rich bathe in wonderful scents, whilst the poor are exposed to everything revolting. It also exposes the frivolous nature of the upper classes at the time, spending money on luxury ...

Wonderful Vs Wonderful
Advantages: Great script, direction, acting, everything
Disadvantages: Nothing to my eyes.
...movie , lol. Anyways, Kramer vs. Kramer is a 1979 drama film adapted by Robert Benton from the novel by Avery Corman.The film tells the story of a married couple's divorce and how they cutely deal with it . I usually don't watch old movies . But i won't exactly term this as an old movie .[ '79] It completely took me into the film, just like any forrest gump or titanic or even "The Thirteenth Floor" for that matter, which was a very good movie. This ...
...potrayed it so elegantly . Kramer vs. Kramer reflected a cultural shift which occurred during the 1970s and the period of second-wave feminism, when ideas about "motherhood" and "fatherhood" were changing. Cheers to Robert Benton for equally weighing both their roles. On the whole, it was 105 mins of Hollywood's pride that I totally enjoyed and i want you also to enjoy. It won 5 oscars including Best actor, Best actress,Best director & Best picture. ...
