foreign films is love....
like i've always said, there is no greater medium to educate the world with ones culture than through moving pictures. this is the best thing about foreign films, plots are so original that it's making fiction an inch closer to reality. reality though, is not what it will always seem to be, but it's the only world we're living in...so dealing with it... is the only way.
City of God
"disturbingly amazing..."
set in the slums of Brasilia while vividly depicting how the thin the line is between innocence and madness. watching this movie made me question two things... WHERE ON EARTH ARE THE PARENTS OF THESE KIDS?! and IS THIS FOR REAL?!... true enough it really was based on a true story... watch it! it's highly recommended.. (as if my word matters.. ;)
Turtles can fly
"a beautiful melancholy"
it's a sad reality how children are forced to grow up in times of war while only limiting their choices to either life or death. but watching this Iran-Iraqi movie will make you admire the spirit of these kids and at the same make you thank God that you were not born in a war torn place. it's an adorably sad movie. adorable, because some kids were just adorable (especially that cry baby kid, him crying was a comic relief... i have a very twisted emotion... excuse it), and sad because .... you'll just have to see it for yourself.
"click the title for the trailer"
i haven't seen the movie yet, but when it's the thespian Gael Garcia Bernal on the lead, plus under the direction of Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu it's a sure fire win. Basing on the trailer i'm betting that it's a very dark sinister movie. been wanting to see this for a long time, but unfortunately it doesn't have any subtitles in it. i hate that my parents didn't pay much importance to the spanish language. now i'm very dependent to subtitles! tsk!
"click the title for the trailer"
still haven't seen this movie and still searching for it online. i love that it's a crime movie set in France with a mafia twist in it. i'm crazy about mafias and their twisted way of life and how they never do things halfway. i've been dying dying to see this movie, so please if you have any link to this movie online please let me know and i'll forever be grateful. just to add a bit of sweetness to my convincing powers.. you have no idea what i'll be like when i'm grateful =D
