The Fighter

This movie is one of the movies that based on the true stories.

I don't really know whether this is the trend or not, but I think there are a lot movies that are based on or inspired by the true stories.

I guess people seek "reality" in the movies because there are lots of amazing stories around the world.

People might feel as if they can be one of the movie characters because these movies usually focus on normal people like us.

This movie is about a boxer who has a talent but never had a good chance.

His brother used to be a famous boxer but is drug addict now.

People expect him because of his brother and his glory.

It might be one of the success stories, yet I like how people face their weaknesses and mistakes they have made.

It was also interesting how they find out their weaknesses.

I liked the connections of their weaknesses, mistakes, and the way they make up their mistakes.

The portrayal of women are kind of interesting to me because the camera sometimes focuses of their legs or breasts.

I am not sure what it's supposed to mean, but I kind of thought that role of women are quite important in this movie.

There would be no change if there is no woman.

I believe you will understand what I mean if you see this movie.

Anyway, I thought it was a good boxing movie.

At least, I liked this movie better than Rocky series lol

Please give

This movie is kind of weird.

The characters are weird, and their relationships are weird.

However, it is people like us.

People are weird.

This movie is not an action movie, so there is no explosion or dynamic car chase, but there is a drama between them.

Some characters are very mean to others.

Some characters feel very guilty from what they do.

They are sensitive and naive.

I guess they are over-exaggerated as the characters in the movies often are, yet their relationships seem realistic in some sense.

Because they have reasons to be mean or sensitive.

Some characters are very honest to themselves(they say what they want to say or do; they seem to be mean to others), which is kind of interesting because I think we are honest to neither ourselves and others, so I think this characteristic represents human aspect that people care their own profit.

Of course, there are some characters who are "good" people, yet I was very interested in how these characters are represented.

As I said, this movie does not have any excitements, yet there is drama, which is interesting human observation.

The Disappearance of Alice Creed

Well, it might not be the best movie for Christmas, yet I really enjoyed this movie.

I had no idea what this movie was about when I started watching this movie, which I think is good.

If you have no idea about the story, I think you enjoy more lol

At least, I believe it will be more entertaining and exciting if you don't know anything about this movie, so I don't have link to the trailer this time.

I was very impressive by the fact that there are only three characters in the movie, but the story is well-made!

There are lots of twists and makes you wonder what will happen next.

The setting might be typical, yet it doesn't make this movie typical.

I also loved the camera works!

The camera works create lots of tensions and suspensions, which makes the movie more exciting!

Besides, the acting is excellent!

You will notice the relationships of the characters in half way of the movie; the relation is quite interesting and odd in a sense.

And the relationship they have does not make it easy for you to guess what will happen.

The faces the characters make or the reactions they take are very interesting after you know what relationship they have.

The story is very well-constructed and the acting is impressive; I will say this movie is definitely worth watching!

Get Him to the Greek

I finally had a chance to watch this movie!

I've heard about this movie from so many people, and they said it is so funny!

And they were right!

It was so funny!

It's definitely worth watching!

I like craziness like in this movie!

This movie reminds me of the hangover somehow.

The story is simple, yet the characters make this simple story so mess up lol

I love to see people doing extremely unexpected things!

I guess you can guess what will happen in the end, yet comedy movie is for laugh.

What you expect to see in comedy is stupid people do or say stupid things.

Of course, this movie has this element!

I also love the music in the movie!

Some of they are really silly, and some rock!

I don't think it's a good idea to watch it with your parents, but it is a good movie to watch with some beer for sure!

Splice

It has been for a while since I posted last.

I have been quote busy for school and have not had time to watch movies, but I'm in break now!

Which means movie time!

So, I watched Splice.

The story starts with typical setting, smart scientists break morality because of curiosity.

But the creature they make is very human-like.

This wired creature has emotions like us; it feels happy, sad, angry, and jealous.

And it has the desire we have, including sexual desire.

I guess all creatures that exist in this world have sexual desire, but it is more complex beacause this creature falls in love as well as human.

This movie is so fucked up because of the combination of human characteristics.

I am not sure whether this movie teaches us moral.

I was disappointed by how this movie stats and very confused by the ending.

I cannot tell if this movie if good or bad.

I can't even tell if I like it or not lol

All I can say is this movie is totally worth of watching!

No guarantee you feel fine after watching this movie though lol

Quite interesting in a way how people mess themselves up.

By the way, the director is Vincenzo Natali.

Yes, the direcor of Cube!

So, I guess you can kind of guess how this movie is like lol

Fame

Since this movie came out, I had wanted to watched it, but I didn't have a chance until yesterday.
I am not a big fan of musical, but the trailer seemed very interesting to me.
It seemed there were a lot of dramas in the movie.
The kids are seriously impressive and talented.
And they have their own stories.
However, I felt the soties are kind of weak.
Each of them is very gifted person, as I said, yet nothing moved me just because this movie totally rely on their ability, I guess.
To be honest, the stories are normal life of the students who are talented and have hopes in the future, which might be what they intended to show us.
Their struggles are quite different from what we do, I think.
Maybe some of them have "closer" sense to us, yet they know they are not "ordinally" people.
If you like to watch musical or amazing perfomance you can watch in Step Up, you might like it, but I am not sure if it worth of watching only for that.
Anyway, I was kind of disappointed with this movie probably because I expected too much from the trailer.
It might be one of the typical exapmles that trailers are better than movies themselves lol

Hard Candy

It's been a while since I posted last one.

It doesn't mean I haven't watched any movies.

I was just a bit busy.

I am so sorry about that.

Anyway, about the movie!

As usuall, I had no idea what Hard Candy is about lol

I watched Whip It and was kind of curious what kind of movies Ellen Page has been.

I have watched Juno, Inception, and Whip It; however, all movies are tottally different.

Besides, she is from Canada, where I live now lol

So, I was curious about her carrer.

Hard Candy is filmed in 2005, so she was 18.

But she acts 14-year-old girl, which I had no doubt about it.

She looks really young in that movie lol

The girl she acts is totally wired though.

Since I did not know about anything about this movie, I thought this movie was about kidnapping.

The movie starts with chatting screen on computer between a young girl and a well-grwon up man.

But hell no! It was not about kidnapping!!

Well, kind of yes, but it is not what I expected at all.

The girl must have a reason for her actions, yet it is quite mysteryous.

Though I finished watching it, I am still confused.

What is this movie about...?

Who is she...?

I loved the camera work of this movie.

I don't think they spent a lot of money to make this film, yet the movies is quite exciting to watch without any special effect because of camera work.

Also Page did great job in the movie.

She is real phyco in this movie!

I strongly recommend to watch it if you don't mind having many questions afterwards lol

I bet it is pain to watch for guys though lol
