Some stills form the film with Eva Green called “Cracks”.

Watched recently this years Oscar’s favorite “Black Swan”. Can’t say that is was utterly good and entertaining, because it wasn’t, really, entertaining, a bit wrong word to describe it in the first place. But it was enchanting in some ways, more or less. I felt some sympathy and even recognition towards the principal character. Portman played well, without any superficial vanity or ego. She was playing this reserved and idealistic ballerina that eventually lost her sense of reality. She yearned to accomplish only perfection, and she wasn’t afraid to use radical metods to achieve that, as we can see in the end.

When we are perfect? It’s not possible - to be perfect. Only dead people can be perfect, since no mistakes can be found on their accounts. But in this case the death wasn’t main reason but more of a device to achieve some seconds of perfection. But for perfectionists that is all that counts.

Roman Polanski’s film “The Pianist” tells the story of a Polish pianist struggling to survive in the Warsaw ghetto. The story begins in 1939, when Nazis first invade Warsaw and organize people in to two different groups. The Jews are strictly separated from the rest by a solid rock wall running through the city. It’s a story of the terror, that happened not long ago. See the trailer.
For me the most absorbing part was, where the German officer caught the main character among the ruins, where he had been hiding for some time. The tension grew with every second, because it wasn’t clear what the officer wants to do with him - to arrest him, to kill him? But no, the officer wanted him to play the piano, which was in a nearby room. And while the pianist was playing, at one point, some tears where rolling down on officer’s face. And it was this moment, that defined most clearly the total absurdness of the entire war and terror. There they were, feeling both sorry for the things that had happened, they were united by the same grief that was put upon thousands of people, when they took the last walk to their deaths. And so, it’s the tragedy we share.

During the time of Christmas, we sometimes forget the true meaning of it. There are many things we take for granted…

I went to see “A Christmas Carol” with my friend today. Although it was in some parts quite scary, I were with the story the whole time. I knew about this Dickens story before, but never actually read it, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. And while watching it, I had this really weird feeling at one point. When the dead man came through a door, with his legs and body covered with strong chain, that was attached to heavy iron things to keep the floating spirit more closer to the ground. It got me thinking - is life after death for some people (or for all!?) similar to that. Do we always stay floating in the air somewhere, desperate and tired. Life (and death) is a mystery.

But I really recommend this animation, especially for the holidays.

Georgiana, The Duchess of Devonshire: There are limits to the sacrifices one makes for one’s children.
Bess Foster: No, there aren’t. No limits whatsoever.

In opinion, these are the best lines to describe this artsy film.

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas tells the story of a little boy, son of a Nazi commander, befriending a Jewish boy same age. They are separated by the electric fence. Movie describes the horrible events of Holocaust through innocent eyes. Ending is tragic. Movies about Holocaust always make me sad, this one even got me crying.

Something got me thinking: what kind of people choose their own well-being over other’s deaths! Commander’s (aka monster’s) wife (played by Vera Farmiga) lives in a blissful unknowing, having no clue of the true meaning of Holocaust. When she gets to know it accidentaly, she is completely frustrated with her husband. The ending brings pain for both parent and seems like much-needed (though painful) lesson.

This movie ideally describes yesterdays impacts. It was my brother’s graduation and also June’s lousiest day. Oh wait, June is still lasting.
It’s going to be out somewhere in fall (the movie!).

Click, click…

Your typical chick drama. Hard times bring the tendency of watching lighter films.

No way, I am not going to that bad English boarding school.

Oh, am pretty as a pie.

Hell yeah, we are going to jump:

THE END.
