Get Smart
PG-13
I have never seen the television show for which this is based, so I had no real preconceptions besides what I saw in the trailers. So, for me, Get Smart was a pleasant surprise :D
It was full of laughs and Steve Carell played a really funny Agent 86...Highly recommended.
State of Play
Unrated
Amei a série da BBC e se o filme for apenas próximo na qualidade já será muito bom.
Mas tente assistir a série State of Play da BBC primeiro, vc não irá se arrepender.
Ótimo enredo e conta com um elenco fenomenal!

Before Sunrise

A primeira vez que assisti a esse filme tinha apenas 11 anos e o tempo que passou apenas fez que eu viesse a apreciar essa obra prima ainda mais. Adoro tudo sobre o filme, até as suas imperfeições... Aqui vai o famoso escrito do poeta de Viena, que conta a história da noite de luar passada por Céline e Jesse nesta cidade: " Street Poet: Daydream delusion, limousine eyelash / Oh baby with your pretty face / Drop a tear in my wineglass / Look at those big eyes / See what you mean to me / Sweet-cakes and milkshakes / I'm a delusion angel / I'm a fantasy parade / I want you to know what I think / Don't want you to guess anymore / You have no idea where I came from / We have no idea where we're going / Lodged in life / Like branches in a river/ Flowing downstream / Caught in the current / I carry you / You'll carry me / That's how it could be / Don't you know me? / Don't you know me by now?"

Before Sunset

"The years shall run like rabbits, For in my arms I hold The Flower of the Ages, And the first love of the world." But all the clocks in the city Began to whirr and chime: "O let not Time deceive you, You cannot conquer Time. . . . "O plunge your hands in water, Plunge them in up to the wrist; Stare, stare in the basin And wonder what you've missed." -- from W.H. Auden's "As I Walked Out One Evening". A continuação de Antes do Amanhecer mantem os ótimos dialogos entre os dois unicos personagens do filme. É interessante notar como Celine e Jess estão mais maduros, porém sem perder os traços essenciais...Brilhante encerramento da jornada dessas duas personagens!

Three Colors: Red (Trois couleurs: Rouge)

"Deciding what is true and what isn't now seems to me...a lack of modesty." O meu filme preferido do Kieslowski, a real masterpiece! A Fraternidade é vermelha nos mostra a conexão com o mundo que nós não vemos, as coisas que perdemos por causa disso. Agora, muita gente não entende por que o filme é sobre a fraternidade, no entanto é só ver a amizade entre o juiz e a Valentine. A bondade da Valentine, a fraternidade que mostra em relação a todos, até aos estranhos . Valentine é diferente das outras personagens, que são egoístas e não fazem bondades ou como digo, atos de amor, lol. Então, porque o juiz que espia a vida dos outros e Valentine tem uma forte ligação? É por causa da fraternidade, o vermelho aqui não é visto como algo violento, como o sangue por exemplo, mas sim como uma verdadeira conexão entre duas pessoas. Kieslowki não fez que nem a maioria, essa não é uma classica história de amor de cinema. Ele mostrou a vida de verdade, as coisas que acontecem todos os dias e nós não percebemos, os relacionamento que temos mas não damos valor. Enfim, a Fraternidade é vermelha vale a pena ser visto e absorvido.

Vertigo
PG
Nem sei como colocar em alguma categoria esse filme! É um triller romantico-pscologico?lol. Bem, é um clássico de Alfred Hitchcock... Um filme brilhante que portrata as verdadeiras emoções humanas e os sentimentos escondidos. ps: Na net achei a Vertigo Movie Tour of San Francisco, hehe. Um dia vou fazer!

Persepolis
by Alexander''In this life you'll meet a lot of jerks. If they hurt you, tell yourself that it's their own stupidity that makes them act that way. That will keep you from responding to their meanness. There's nothing worse in this world than bitterness and revenge. Hold your head up and stay true to yourself.''
Poignant coming-of-age story of a precocious and outspoken young Iranian girl that begins during the Islamic Revolution.
Chiara Mastroianni: Marjane 'Marji' Satrapi, as a teenager and a woman (voice)
Gabrielle Lopes: Marjane as a child (voice)
Persepolis is not only just an animated film or indeed a comic but one that captures one girl growing up. In the same vein as Grave of the Fireflies this film is not for children like it's cartoony looks would suggest.
What we get from Persepolis is Marjana Satrapi's vision of a life consisting of struggle, control and the freedom for women to do anything scarily non existent. Captivating that the 80s and 90s are depicted in Iran in such a way of death, of war and of propaganda and ideology that I felt that this world was so backward. Marjane's way of life felt like it was stuck in a bygone era like the early 1920s to 1940s. Her imagination and creativity are brought to life and cleverly Persepolis uses black and white to convey the immense desperation, the depressed state of society in Iran and the lack of free rights of suppressed, controlled women.
Animation has the advantage of permitting a pace that allows a lot to be included into a simply and honestly told story, particularly in early childhood and adolescence. Very thought inducing in seeing how atrocities and cruelties are perceived through little childrens eyes, particularly little kids growing up in an environment where these acts are a normal way of life.
As a teenager looking for punk music in the black market, Marjane walks through a throng of peddlers trying to sell her an assortment of trendy videos, including disguising Micheal Jackson as Jichael Mackson is genius.
Communism is crushed, propaganda cast away and bloody fighting and martyrs frequently being produced. Marjane's life growing up as Persepolis shows us is a hard one full of strife. Yet for all its seriousness there is humour there also.
Throughout the movie a sense of humour that is at times very sarcastic, yet very amusing.
Be it sequences where she talks to God in his cloud or as a girl pestering her Uncle about his ideals and Communist past and life. Be it her making the transition from girl to woman in a very amusing sequence that shows all the joys of getting older. Sarcasm of my own there in case you failed to notice.
Persepolis ends with a beautiful rendition of her grandmother and her smelling of luscious flowers put into her bra area. This for me really does show a sense of how great life can be whatever trouble there is, good is always lurking somewhere, waiting to break free.
Whether it be Marjane's ill fated relationships or defiance of a teacher, or even men telling the women to cover up more and Marjane standing up to them, there are so many sides to this story Persepolis has to offer.
Thus becoming in my eyes a definite masterpiece of emotion, feeling and capturing the plight and suffering not just of one woman but also of a whole nation.
Simply breathtaking, Persepolis is nothing short of greatness and told in a medium bordering on simplicity yet emerging as genius.--May contain some spoilers in review but nothing too major--
Persepolis is another form of freedom of speech and life being birthed from a very intriguing woman, Marjana Satrapi. Who has shown me a nightmarish country Iran where freedom doesn't exist and control is put in effect. Where western culture is frowned upon.
Genius and mesmerizing.
Should win an Award not just for it's animation but for it's subject matter also.

Whale Rider
by Alexander''My name is Paikea Apirana, and I come from a long line of chiefs.''
A contemporary story of love, rejection and triumph as a young Maori girl fights to fulfill a destiny her grandfather refuses to recognize.
Keisha Castle-Hughes: Paikea
Whale Rider gets its namesake from the legend, a legend involving the Maori people coming to New Zealand as a result of their patriarch riding there many generations ago, from Hawaiki upon the back of a whale.
After many studies of language, farming, artifacts and sailing techniques, experts seem to agree that 'Hawaiki' is in fact the Huahine Island in French Polynesia, the Society Islands, northwest of Tahiti and perhaps 3000 miles northeast of New Zealand. It has been fairly firmly established that all of the Polynesian peoples originated from Eastern Asians who developed skills to build and correctly navigate large ocean-going douple-hulled canoes, which could transport not only people but also livestock including dogs, pigs, and chickens plus seeds and plants.
Today it is believed that the Maori in New Zealand and the natives Hawaiians originated from the same Polynesian people.
This background is necessary to fully appreciate the movie, Whale Rider while ultimately a simple story of family pride and honour.
Tradition has it that the first-born son of the chief will be groomed to become the next chief.
But Koro's son is not interested, instead wants to go to Europe and pursue his passion for art. His wife gives birth to twins, a boy and a girl, but the mother and son die at childbirth, leaving only the daughter, Paikea or Pai for short. But tradition does not allow a girl to become chief.
Whale Rider requires alot of thought and detail to capture into words. The sheer beauty of the film conveyed not just through the breathtaking scenery including vast landscapes, tantalizing oceans stretching out into the horizon or underwater shades of blue and green, but one of family, of people and of love, tradition and a bond that remains unbreakable.
This makes Whale Rider beautiful not just to look at but on a whole new level that transcends anything we see.
Be it Koro, perfectly played by Rawiri Paratene, who stubbornly sticks to tradition and rests all his hopes on a boy to carry on his tribes legacy. Not realizing that what he has is already before him, regardless of gender and a break from tradition.
Cliff Curtis as Porourangi also is breaking from his traditional roots as mentioned before. His acting and bond with Paikea wonderfully shown in a scene with them in the night where they talk about Koro not wanting them and this for me really moved me and made me begin to cry. End of the day acceptance is important, and not being wanted is the most painful thing imaginable. We all want to be loved and to be appreciated and valued and Whale Rider does a perfect job of capturing this as best it can, effortlessly.
Keisha Castle-Hughes as Paikea really ends up being the star of the show, showing pure talent and believability. Just watching her in the play, reciting a memorized verse for Koro tears rolling down her cheeks, shows how immersed she is in the role of Paikea. In my mind she IS Paikea and thats how far the believablilty for me goes, and thats all the way.
Also I'd like to mention Vicky Haughton as Nanny Flowers who was totally lovely in her role as a loving yet firm woman who shows her love for her family, for Paikei and for Koro.
Whale Rider cleverly plays on your emotions until the very end, and so immersed was I with my darling love watching with me that I totally felt as if I was part of this world, part of their life. When a film like Rider achieves this successful capturing of your soul and captivates you so intentively you are left breathless.
I just know that Maori people and customs, these warriors of old, these legendary men and women, I am totally and completely in awe of and fascinated by.
Whale Rider's story of Paikea Apirana, is like the Ocean. Infinite and forever connected, each time you immerse yourself into it, you always see the beauty.
Like rain drops that fall down from the sky, every single tear from the heavens above reminds me of my love and of Paikei riding her people's symbolic Whale. That is how I feel about Whale Rider, truly beautiful like my woman.Dedicated to my love Rachael xox
