Writer's Block: Desert Island Time (Hayden Christensen get in my pants!)
My pirated versions of Amelie--both my friend and I would totally go gay for Audrey Tatou; Into the Wild--breathtaking story; and Revenge of the Sith--my personal favorite out of all the Star Wars episoes. My boyfriend's copy of Take The Money And Run--a marvelous Woody Allen film--and FINALLY a legitimate copy of something I own, Amadeus. Shit... my sister stole that...
I'm gonna go in-depth.
Amelie was the last film I watched in my film literature class last semester. It made me embrace my French heritage and long to speak the language and live the culture. A charming girl in her twenties, plays both match- and mischief-maker at the same time. It's a beautiful film. There is so much detail and art put into it. Even though it's something you have to read subtitles for, it is worth every second. It made me cry.
Into the Wild--another one I watched in my film lit class--is a moving tale about a boy, who knows himself as Alexander Supertramp, who ventures out from his [West?] Virginian, wealthy home. He destroys everything he has and lives amoung other people and their help. He meets such marvelous characters, wildlife, scenery, and embraces adventure with astronomical chances to defeat forces against him. The filming is also key, projecting a strong story into strong images. It made me cry, once again.
Revenge of the Sith, the third episode in the Star Wars saga, is one of my favorite movies. With a very attractive pair of leading men (Hayden Christensen, get in my pants? Ewan, you're next on my list.), though the acting is not as geniune as the original IV through VI episodes, the story is so redeeming. It's too much to explain without having to go into the other parts of the series, but the plot of this episode is the heaviest and most important. It shows the weakness of man and the transformation of soul. It made me cry. Lol, once again!
Take the Money and Run is simply a riot. A hilarious Woody Allen mockumentary and bulingsdroman about Virgil Starkwell (sp?) and his outcasted nature. Wanting to fit in with other children, and having a passion for crime (petty theft, etcetera), Virgil grows up to be quite the troubled man. He goes to jail and during that sentence, he encounters countless priceless scenarios. A must-see for those who enjoy personally wetting themselves. Did not cry.
Finally, Amadeus. It is the chronicle of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's life. An eccentric genius unknowingly battles against a withering man (both physically and mentally... more mentally) for the title of the greatest European composer. Without summarizing his life, I will tell you that he was both a childish, irresponsible fool, and a strong and passionate man. A love story, a hate story, an art story, and a philosophical story; every aspect of it pulls together to become one of my favorite movies of all time. It can make me cry, but not usually.
Done with the babble!
EDIT: I'd pick Pan's Labyrinth instead of TTMAR. For every reason. I simply adore that film.
