Lilja 4 Ever

I have no idea what to say...

I knew it would be really depressing movie even before I watched it, but it is a sad story.

This is a story about a girl who is abandoned by her mother and tries to find her own happiness.

However, she faces any kinds of difficulties...

It is totally opposite to typical Hollywood success stories.

I'm not saying that Hollywood movies are unrealistic, but this movie tells how unfair the life is no matter how you behave.

There are unfortunate things in the world, and some people have to take it.

I think that Oksana Akinshina does good job acting how the girl tries to makes things better around her without any certain knowledge.

She does not lose her hope although she faces difficulties or nothing turn out as she imagines.

I think you would not want to watch it if you don't like sad stories though.

2001: A Space Odyssey

This is one of my favorite movie!

This is very interesting movie at the same time this can be the most irritating movie ever lol

I like it because it have extremely enigmatic ending.

I cannot really understand what it supposed to mean though I have seen this movie so many times!

For same reason, this can be irritating if you don't like ambiguous stories.

But I would say there are many features that attracts you too.

First of all, the use of the sound is amazing!

There are not much conversations in this movie.

This is one of the quietest movie I have ever seen, so this isn't the best movie to watch when you feel tired or sleepy lol

But the music creates a lot of effect, so you sort of understand how you are supposed to feel about what you see on the screen even though you do not hear a word, which is very impressive.

And second, it is interesting that you understand what it supposed to mean without any lines.

How it is visualized is quite splendid.

As I said, there are not many conversations, so you basically see the objects on the screen, but you understand what is going on.

Especially, first part of the movie has no conversation, but you understand what is going on so clearly.

It has very unique world view, and you probably don't understand much, but you are forced to be part of the world because you witness everything and try to solve the enigma the characters face.

I really think this is a great movie, so you should watch it when you have a chance.

You might feel it is long, but it is worth it!

X-Men First Class

I have watched all series so far, but I don't think I can call myself as a big fun of X-men series.

In fact, I watched it after the DVD came out lol

However, I have to admit the fact that I enjoy watching them.

I liked this one particularly because this reveals backgrounds of other stories.

I was expecting to watch action scenes with descent story as X-men movies usually do, but I was very impressed by the well organized story.

The backgrounds makes the other stories interesting because you are now able to see these stories from different perspectives.

You can also see the beginning of the relationship between characters, which gives you more insights of the characters you already knew.

What I liked the most about this movie is that historical facts are used very well in the story.

Since there are some historical facts we all know are involved, it is more realistic and we can see emotional conflicts the characters have.

Of course, the acting and action scenes are very enjoyable to watch as well.

It might be a little difficult for kids to understand what is going on fully since there are some complicated relations and history.

But I do recommend to watch this movie even though you are getting sick of X-men series.

I bet you want to other X-men movies after you watch this lol
