If you see one film in your life...this is it

Advantages: Gritty, dark and realistic.. you feel like you are there
Disadvantages: It is one of the few films I wished that could have been longer than three hours

There are some things in life you will always remember and I think this film is one of those things. I went to see it originally in the opening week of its cinematic release. I had heard about this film and was very interested to see it because I have a huge interest in the holocaust and what led to it happening. I knew before I went who some of the actors cast were and I also knew that it was a film lasting for three hours. The film gripped me lice ...
...lit...to it gradually changing into black and white. I was absorbed with the power of the nazis and the futility of existence for the Jews. What this film portrays so well is the need in capitalism for exploitation. The nazis, although intent on killing every jew, still believe that they should get the most out of them before they die. they feed them minimal calories and expect them to work round the clock, you hear them talking about this at different ...

THE COLOUR PURPLE

Advantages: a great film
Disadvantages: lots of tears

...it is about it, probebly the thought of what the main charater is going through, but thats how life really was for some people back then. One of the big things that draw me to this film is my love of Whoopie Goldburg. I can not think of one film that she has done that does'nt appeal to me. I am sure other people could name a few but i always will like her work. This particular film though has it all, great cast, great director and on top of that ...
...sit through, the trials and tribulations of 14-year-old Celie (Whoopie Goldberg) If i was in 14 year old Celies place im not so sure if i could have coped with what she had to put up with. The 14 year old child had a baby by her violent father, as soon as the baby was born he took the baby from her gving it away to god knows who. How could any child deal with that, not once but twice. The only family that love this poor gilr is her little sister ...

Artificiality

Advantages: Good graphics, very involving
Disadvantages: Disturbing, far too long

This film was shown on television a while ago, and although I had heard the name of the film several times, I really had no idea what it was actually about. I was certainly expecting some sort of robot film, but from there my ideas of what the film was about turned out to be dreadfully wrong. There was barely anything on television so after flicking through several channels I spotted this movie and thought 'ah, a movie,' then settled on it with a ...
...much, although to be honest they are not usually my type of film, so my expectations were not that high. Future The film is set in the future, at a time where our current fears of global warming melting ice at the poles and drowning the land have become a reality. This has not stopped the human race and the good old fashioned cuddly toy we know of now is not a thing of the past, but a thing transformed. In fact, this film does feature robots, in ...

A revenge mission

Advantages: Brilliant cast and story
Disadvantages: none

...high quality. The 2005 film, Munich is no different. Munich tells the story of the Israeli government retaliation for the assassination of eleven Israeli athletes by the Palestinian terrorist group known as Black September, at the Munich Olympics in 1972. Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir recruits a group of Mossad agents led by Avner (Eric Bana) with a mission to locate and kill those men responsible for the assassination. Avner is joined by four ...
...the actual events of the Munich assassinations. However the retaliation aspect of the film is more fictional. The cast are excellent, especially, Eric Bana who excels in the lead role as Avner. It is a well written story with some great characters that explores a country’s desire for revenge. It is worth noting that this has some violent and graphic scenes that not everyone will appreciate. I thought that it was refreshing to see Daniel Craig in ...
