Amélie (Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain) 2001, R)
Lovely story which teaches you how to enjoy the life in the simplest way, even when you feel the biggest (but most stupid at the end) problems over you. The conception of the simplicity about love and happiness is priceless in this movie, it's a perfect guide to realize how we complicate our lives unnecessarily, when we have so much to see and learn from the people who surround us, the simplest things that we see every day of our routine, forgetting in the process wishes, dreams and, of course, actions can make a huge difference in the way we live... As I said before, just priceless and wonderful. |

The Lives of Others 2006, R)
Outstanding film based on amazing performances (in special the brilliant Ulrich Mühe as Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler), since the plot is usual and predictable, but this is the best cast I recently can remember, that characteristic indifference of the Germans combined with a variety of sensations and emotional conflicts is just awesome. Great work, and I am so glad of the different approaches that the German directors are taken to show the well known socialist stereotypes among other issues, it's a shame that this film is incredibly underrated, so few people is interested in going to see it. |
