My Favorite Movies

Best movie I've had in a long time!

"How do you say good-bye to someone you cannot live without?"
This movie is more like a poet, starting from a hurtful moment deep inside a woman's heart and after a tragic journey, softly becomes a love poet which endures one of the sweatiest kisses possible. The story might look ordinary and common, but Wong Kar Wai has captured the emotional background of this experience, that you can live the sorrow and pain with his characters. Needless to say, the performances were great, specially Norah Jones as a first time acting was brilliant. And the soundtrack was heartbreakingly beautiful. Definitely a new favorite.

THE FALL is one of the more stunningly beautiful cinematic works to be created in recent years. There is more in this little film than one viewing could ever completely reveal. Visit it once and become as addicted to the magic as was the king to Scheherazade's endless tales.

smart

Wow, brutally honest, and tragically uplifting. This is certainly not a run of the mill cautionary tale of the future. It disturbingly mirrors cruelty and injustices that are happening in the present. Grand example of art imitating life.
Visually, this is an undoubted cinematic masterpiece. Most of the film uses super long uncut shots which means an enormous choreography challenge, and a good percentage of them are absolutely heart-racingly breathtaking.

A dreamlike requiem for a lost/dead love, incriminating life as it is and questing salvation. Visually poetic, musically epic.

The most artistic jump to the big screen, from all comic-books, so far!

Although you may say the story didn't have anything original, but the movie is so cohere and sensible that carries you away.
I cried in many scenes and I fell for the amazing soundtrack.

really lovely, you can't stop thinking about it for days

REAL EMOTIONS
REAL DIALOGUES
REAL LIFE

it goes under your skin!

Oh, what a movie, one in a kind. I saw it yesterday and I still can't stop thinking about it. Ang Lee is a very smart director, he captured real people and how they love, destroy and betray each other, and more specifically how it feels. And he did it in Kubrick's way: without using sophisticated phrases and words. All these wouldn't be possible without the two great actors Tony Leung and Tang Wei. It was the best performance by Tony Leung I've seen till now, he was even better than 2046, although I think he's really different in Kai's movies. In this movie, he's character as Mr. Yee remains an enigma we are trying to have a crack at, trying to, like the rest, understand his secret life. Tang Wei's character was also well developed and well acted, it's a true leading performance since she carries most of the film, being in just about every minute of it. As for the controversial sex scenes that gather all the spotlights, they all take important places in the film just as Lee said. It's like he unfolds them so that everything on the inside is laid bare. Although I'm not sure if I have completely grasped the emotional complexity of this film, I think it would be more as the years pass by. So, don't rush to see this movie if you don't feel ready enough!

This film is a Large Piece of Art. Greatly shotted, acted, edited, and most of all, imagined! you come to 'live' (as some do, while seeing a film) in a mixed world of dreams and reality and it's up to you to tell in which part you're awake and in which you're not.
It takes more than one time to watch, and some time to think, to get.
I didn't seen a play by Gosling before, and I think he done great, better than McGregor.

A mix of comedy and drama: One is a Woody Allen comedy that is right on and the other is an adulterous drama heading down a dark path. It is funny (Woody's lessons), symbolic (the Rabbi going blind), ironic (the good suffer and the evil go unpunished), deep (faith and suicide), and is a film that leaves you with something to think about and learn from. The main question arose in my mind was "Why be moral if we can get away with it?", the same question that Allen's Match Point would arise.
The other point would be Hally's (Mia Farrow) surprising revelation at the end of the film, which shows us that we shouldn't judge on the surface, but must look deeper into the individual value of people. Do we trust Hally, or do we stick to what we see as the truth during the film? This is a lesson that Woody's character (Cliff) doesn't even fully grasp at the end, but Allen gives us the insight. It's one of Woody's bests, but is certainly not for all tastes.

District 9 has action, imagination, and all the elements of a thoroughly entertaining science-fiction classic, while its deeper notions are on segregation, racism and conflicts of power. Technically brilliant and creatively intelligent; a must see.

Great movie; The screenplay, the score, the acting, everything was great! Sam Rockwell was nothing short of amazing and is one of my favorite under-the-radar actors. And also the atmosphere, the alien emptiness was so real that you really get the feeling that you're alone in the station, with Sam Rockwell and the robot!! A must see.
