a good movie

Advantages: good storyline and nice ending
Disadvantages: none

The film’s rhythm is so ease, that after one and another detail, it has to show a strong atmosphere of family. Though the father and the son struggled with poor life,they never gave up,as they believed happyness came from the pursuit and efforts .I am moved by Will Smith's performance. As the poster shows, the father and son’s affection is exaggerated on the film. And the father loved his children, even in difficult circumstances, life distress, ...

Before Sunset

Advantages: brilliant performance, clever and engaging story
Disadvantages: none

After watching Before Sunrise I was hesitating whether to watch Before Sunset that day or wait not to ruin the experience. Usually the sequences are worse and spoil even the original movie. If you haven’t seen Before Sunset yet I tell you in advance that it won’t spoil the original film. Before Sunset catches up the story nine years after Befor Sunset ends. The film was released in 2004 so exactly nine years later. This film a drama as well. The ...
...the sequel’s screenplay. Before Sunset takes place in Paris and it is very similar to the first part: the main characters are the same and they walk a lot and talk. The film is quite short, only 80 minutes. The classification of this film is 15 years and over too. The sequel stands individually as well but it is more enjoyable if you watch the first part previously. Main cast ------------- Julie Delpy – Céline Ethan Hawke – Jesse Plot ------- Nine ...

"Sanity is a madness put to good uses..."

Advantages: clever, thought-provoking, original, great score, casting, direction and animation.
Disadvantages: Somewhat pretentious, draws flimsy conclusions.

Waking Life is a 2001 animated movie written and directed by Richard Linklater. The animation itself employs a technique called 'Rotoscoping' in which real footage is edited to look like a cartoon. You may have seen this style used before in 'A Scanner Darkly.' The film is a highly philosophical piece and follows a lucid dream experienced by a young man, in which he talks to characters played by real philosophers, professors and scientists about ...
...repeats nebulously throughout the movie, again complementing the oneiric atmosphere. I wholeheartedly recommend this movie to those even with the most passive interest in philosophy, metaphysics and science. Waking life is approximately 100 minutes long and definitely worth watching. Summary: A good and original animated movie. ...
