Forrest Gump

 There are a lot of reasons why this movie is incredible. But in my point of view i believe it is spectacular for one reason, which is that it depicts the many forms and stages of life. You see, life has many ups and downs, can surprise many people. This movie showed us how someone can loose everything in one moment and get everything else in another. How a person who is so different can fit in with everyone else. How not to judge what is normal and what is not, everyone can do what they put their mind to. It is also touching by how it changes a persons perspective on some events. Like how a military survey around a war zone can be turned into a nice walk around the country side. This movie is very touching and shows how life can be shown in many ways. Recommend this movie to everyone because i guarantee that you wont be disappointed.

What I Love Seeing In Movies

One of my absolute favorite elements in a movie i truly enjoy is, characters with mental illnesses. But not any actor acting out on a crappy movie that will make one sensitive person shed a tear after much struggle. No, i am referring to the actors themselves, the way they make you believe they are crazy, that they arent those big shot actors with millions of dollars in their pockets. A good example is one of my favorite movies of all time, One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest, i loved this movie so much i bought the book and read it and still felt the satisfaction. Jack Nicholson blew me away with his role, Dani DeVito was incredible, all of them preformed the best in their careers. Another example is the movie that i just saw, Twelve Monkeys, which for my surprise had Brad Pitt with a mental illness!! i was so surprised, i lit up and saw how amazing he performed, it is a satisfation that can never be filled with anything else.

Twelve Monkeys

  I just finished watching twelve monkeys and have alot to say about it. First of all i believe this is one of the most underrated movies i have ever seen. I never heard about this movie in my life, nor have i known that brad pitt and bruce willis star in it. I was confused, i usually hear about these kinds of movies but it seems to be neglected by everyone. Before i watched i had zero expectations for this movie, and i finished with a huge smile on my face and a satisfaction that not all movies can acquire. The main reason being that it included an intriguing story which keeps you captivated and thinking throughout the whole movie waiting to see what will happen next. Another reason is the addition of amazing actors acting out roles of characters with mental illness's. i absolutely love it when this addition is in the movie which i will explain in my next post. Twelve Monkeys is an amazing movie, very underrated and deserves way more attention because i really believe it is special.

Battle Royale

After watching this movie for the fifth time i can concur that this is my favorite Japanese movie. It has everything i want to see in a movie, Japanese, amazing acting, phenomenal soundtrack, blood and gore. This movie happens to be Quentin Tarantino's favorite movie of all time. After hearing him say that i downloaded it immediately but held it back for a while, since everywhere had negative comments about it and how it is unethical and doesn't appeal to anyone. After a few weeks of holding back i finally began, and the first 20 minutes of the movie blew me away. I couldn't believe what i was seeing. After i was done i thought maybe i had a sick mind and enjoyed these stuff, so i asked my friends to watch it as well. Surprisingly  they enjoyed it as well and didn't find it unethical. I think the problem with a lot of people these days is their snobbery, people want to go into a theater and either watch an extremely funny movie, or a touching one. There has to be room for something that goes beyond human nature, not to toy with you or to disgust you, to show you how humans will react in a certain situation. Even kids will do anything to survive even kill their best friend. I think that this is what we should be watching more of the dark and ugly side of humans, but in a sensible manner with a nice story not a blood fest.
