10 movies in 1 month - October
Nyahahahah yes, I'm THAT MUCH biased.
No, really, I was inspired by Shige and last month I started his project too.
Since I still had no lessons I could succeed in the objective pretty easily, I had lot of free time and since I don't watch many movies I had many that I still had to watch >_< I don't know if this month I'll be able to complete the aim, during days I'm always out and the night I'm too lazy and tired (and have to catch up with fandom) to watch movies, but I'll do my best this month too!
Here it is my October movie list:
Bright Future (4.10) - Soranin (7.10)
Those two came from Shige's very advices. The first one was in his list of movies from kato_nation the second was mentioned recently on some magazine, actually Shige talked about the manga but well...I liked both of them very much.
Bright Future was pretty depressing, it talks about a young guy who is totally lost about his life, he doesn't know what to do with work, family, relationships. I guess that's how we all felt at least once in our lives. The title and the contents are totally unrelated because there's nothing like a "bright future" in this movie. I loved how the very last scene can bring you to think about the recent times.
Solanin is an heart-breaking love story, I cried so much watching this all the time. Here too there are young people that are totally failing in life, or at least failing in what they wanted their lives to be. Maybe it's only because I feel this subject very close to me that those two movies moved me a lot. In Solanin there is a wonderful solo part of the male character when he tries to convince himself that he's happy when he clearly is not and after, another moving scene when he gets to scream out all his frustration towards the world. It's an inspiring movie.
I loved it a lot, I need to buy the manga ♥
Those two movies are highly recommended by me (if you want to cry)...
Btw Shige always recommends tear-jerking things, what a cute emo boy XD
Shrek Forever After (9.10) & 8uppers (21.10)
Well, I guess everybody saw those two :P
Shrek was fine, decisively better than the 3rd one :S
8uppers was sooo good! It made me laugh and go "Awwwww" thousand times...I love the Ryo/Subaru part on the park bench, then, I just love 8uppers album so the movie enriched with the songs was just perfect. Not to mention Maru's perfection XD
Sunshine Cleaning (10.10) & Bright Star (11.10)
Sunshine cleaning is from the same director of Little Miss Sunshine which happens to be one of my favourite movies, it was a nice, enjoyable movie. I liked the irony and black humour of it but I was expecting for something better, imho it lacked of a catchy plot. I mean the idea, two sisters economically broken who starts a society to clean crime scenes, was great, maybe they should have used it better building the story. I recommend this the same because it's a very easy, nice movie to watch in a bored night. :)
Bright Star was AWWWW, so freaking romantic! This may be an "élite" movie, it's about the life of the English poet John Keats so it may be boring for people who don't know anything about him or are not interested in poetry at all. I liked the images that were really vivid and pretty, like pieces of art. And I just loved how during the movie the characters talked using Keats' poetry. It was so cute and...mmm...Don't know, probably this is not a movie that you can watch when you're bored because it's slow and very literal. If you like historical, poetry movies watch it! (And btw the main actor is absurdely handsome XD)
The girl with the dragon tattoo (13.10) & Lost in translation (26.10)
I watched the first because I just read the book and I loved it that much that I wanted to see how they turned in a movie :) Maybe it's not very famous internationally, it's the movie based on the first book of the Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson, a Swedish writer. The book talks about a reporter and a private spy who work together to discover the truth behind a rich family's accident. The book was just addicting! The movie was nice too, since I read the book just before watching it I noticed maybe too many incoherences with the original work so I couldn't enjoy it well. I think it's better if you just read the books XD
Lost in translation is a kinda old movie but since I never watched it...I liked it! It talks about two American who meet during a trip in Japan, they become friends and fall in love because they are in a country so distant from their usage and style of life. Since I study Japanese I found this very close to my situation too. This is another very enjoyable movie ^^
Departures (18.10) & Inception (20.10)
Departures...YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS è_é lol It's such a good movie, I don't have words to describe it T_T It made me cry so much! It was so poetic, so deep, so cute >< Nyaaaah
Inception is the only one I watched in a cinema XD I think you all watched it and everybody talked about it already. It's a good movie, I don't usually watch movies more than once but I'd like to watch it again already! A very very good one!
Ok enough ^^ Hope this can be useful if somebody is bored and don't know what to do XD
