Shine
by SancarShine tells the story of David Helfgott, the now world-famous pianist and composer. A child prodigy he eventually left Australia for the London School of Music but, due to the pressures of performance, his rejection by his father and other contributing factors he suffered a nervous breakdown while performing at the Royal Albert Hall. Director Scott Hicks returns to the present day as David wanders the streets, sees a piano in a restaurant, makes his way through the crowds and proceeds to play; his rehabilitation begins.
An absolutely stunning film, Shine is essentially two tales skilfully blended together. The second tale is that of David's rehabilitation with David being played by Oscar winner Geoffrey Rush. Rush is the personification of David, even physically resembling him. His portrayal of a man whom different people term eccentric or mad asks important questions not heard since Rainman. This second part is an absolute joy to watch, and of course to listen to, forming an important balance to the somewhat more sombre first half.
In the first we see David as a young boy and adolescent; nervous, twitchy, constantly pushed. Noah Taylor shines through as the teenage David, forever on edge, forever striving to achieve. Taylor is a joy to watch in what is essentially a very moving tale and one suspects that if he had been eligible for the Oscar he may even have won it. Added to Taylor's excellent performance t is that of Sir John Gielgud. Taking the role of David's piano tutor in London he positively revels in the role given to him; that of an over arty, musical, red wine drinking wise old man. Gielgud adds an air of lightness to the story that is essential lighten this darker part of the film. Scott Hick's cast are a dream. All act as if their lives depended on doing justice to a story that tugs the heartstrings at every opportunity. It is his handling of the story that really impresses though as the story never becomes overly heavy or too lighhearted. It is never selfpitying, always played with dignity and warmth. His script does true justice to an incredibly compelling story and his direction and cast make what was essentially a very small movie into a truly massive and wonderful film. Shine was the film of 1996, see it again and make it your film of 1997.

Billy Elliot
by SancarHow are little boys made?
Take one new baby,
Poke it and toss it, force it and push it,
Leave it alone a lot, and never speak softly to it.
How are little girls made?
Take one new baby,
Cuddle it and coo at it, soothe it and calm it,
And never let it stray.
What are little boys made of?
Scrapes and pains, fears not shown,
Lessons learned the hard way,
Loneliness ingrown.
What are little girls made of?
Questions and dreams, secrets never told,
Trusts nurtured and betrayed,
Life waiting to unfold.Hey, you should really see this!

All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)
by SancarAll Quiet on the Western Front is the most famous anti-war film ever made. Adapted from Erich Maria Remarque's novel, it focuses on a group of German teenagers who excitedly sign up to fight for their country in World War One after hearing their teacher speak enthusiastically for the cause. The boys' enthusiasm however soon vanishes when they come face to face with the reality of warfare. Bombings, gas attacks and hand-to-hand combat destroy any romantic views that might linger in their minds. On the Western front, death is almost obligatory.
An acknowledged masterwork, this film has over the years retained almost all of its potency. It works particularly well on the human level, transcending cultures and generations with its all-powerful pacifist message. Lewis Milestone's direction is very effective and the photography is simply unforgettable. The battle scenes aregruesomely realistic; nothing is glossed over.
A profoundly moving picture, All Quiet is required viewing for every single human being, especially those who still cling to the belief: "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori".

Anonyma - Eine Frau in Berlin (A Woman in Berlin)
by SancarCrafted with a dedicated eye for detail by director Max Färberböck, A Woman in Berlin is adapted from a German woman's best-selling diaries, published anonymously in 1954. This film sees Färberböck return to the nightmarish vision of wartorn Berlin that provided the backdrop for forbidden love in his cinematic Aimée & Jaguar.
It is April 1945, and the Red Army is invading Berlin. A photographer and journalist (eloquently played by award-winning actor Nina Hoss) becomes the victim of a traumatic sexual assault at the hands of her purported liberators. She grows desperate to find someone who can protect and comfort her, and meets a Soviet officer named Andrej, with whom she soon develops a powerful relationship. However, their passion is forbidden. As enemies, how can they be lovers?
A Woman in Berlin is a stirring and visually striking experience providing insight into events that we can know only through textbooks. It is also a captivating love story about a ?deal with the devil? that is brilliantly portrayed by the leading actors, who ensure that the emotions at play are never reduced to simplistic terms.
Depicting the end of the Second World War ? and all the compromises it required ? with a decidedly lucid approach, the film offers a rare perspective on the women of Berlin who were left with nothing. Highly reminiscent of the rubble film cycle, which dealt with the impact of the war on European cities, the film is characterized by its evocative use of bombed urban spaces to convey the realities of the survivors' ravaged lives.
A Woman in Berlin blurs the lines between friend, lover and enemy. With echoes that resonate in more recent conflicts from Bosnia to Rwanda, this vital film shows the treacherous dilemmas that women must navigate in times of war.Hey, you should really see this!

The Freethinker
by Sancar
I am sorry I could not watch THE FREETHINKER yet.
Evening Land - Aftonlandet 1976, Flixter did not add it yet.
'Evening Land' depicts ?fictional? events in Europe at that time - beginning with a strike at a shipyard in Copenhagen over the building of four submarines for the French navy: not only because the financially troubled management has proposed a wage freeze to secure the contract, but because it is discovered that the vessels can be fitted with nuclear missiles. At the same time, a summit meeting of European Common Market ministers takes place in Copenhagen, and a group of radical demonstrators kidnap the Danish EEC Minister in protest against the production of nuclear submarines in Denmark, and in support of the strikers? demands. The Danish police not only brutally attack a demonstration by the strikers, they also locate and rescue the kidnapped minister, and capture or kill the ?terrorists?. by Peter Watkins.
