It is impossible to capture the essence of infinite love, sublime mercy or unrelenting grace. When faced with even the shadow of these things, we walk away with more questions than answers. This film can't do it. The book tried it's best. We only truly see it in Jesus. But, eventually you have to find these answers in the submission of trust. We need to learn to trust God. That being said, I'm glad for films and books that point us in the right direction. Let's keep trying to reflect these big truths. I give this movie a 7 (good) out of 10, for a decent adaptation and some fine performances, especially Octavia Spencer and Alice Braga. I give the book a 9 (superb) out of 10.
You can watch it a million times, and yet, it will never get old.
It's a lovin' bowlin' kidnappin' must have seen all time classic movie. The Dude Defines! But don't pee on his rug, man.. just don't do it!
The German nihilists, the feminist artist, the porn manager, the crazy phedophile, the crippled fake business tycoon, the Vietnam-war obsessed psycho and off course the Dude: a lazy deadbeat lowlife. The Big Lebowski sure has a lot of colourful personages which in my opinion is one of the reasons this movie is one of the best i have ever seen.
This is one of the many masterpieces from the Coen brothers, i wish i could congratulate them myself because they are geniuses. The music, the script and the cast are beyond fantastic. This is a masterpiece that only comes along in movies a few times in a decade. This is one of those movies that is and always will be a cult classic. I cannot say that this is the best movie that the Coen brothers ever made, but only because they made so many exceptional movies. But its definitely high up the list.
My favorite part is Gutterballs, when the Dude has some kind of hallucination. The music was just perfect together with the show Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore put on. I can't tell you how often i saw that part, that was just awesome.
Anyone should see this movie at least once in his lifetime. But once you've seen it i can guarantee you that you want to see it again.
I find it sad that so many people are so narrow-minded that they will not watch a movie that is black and white or, in this case, is subtitled. I feel sorry for people who refuse to watch a movie like Life Is Beautiful just because it is a foreign film. They have no idea what a beautifully acted and directed film this is, and they'll never know what an amazing experience they are missing.
Life Is Beautiful manages to walk the extremely thin line between humor, fantasy, and tragedy. Sure, the film is clearly comedic, but nevertheless it manages to very effectively communicate the tremendous losses suffered in the Nazi concentration camps and has scenes at least as intense as any scene in Schindler's List.
This is one of the best films that I have ever seen. It manages to be so encompassing that you hardly notice the subtitles are even there. I proudly cast my vote of 10.
Watching this movie was such a trip. Seeing them happy only broke your heart even more.
Beautiful characters and beautiful story, beautiful on so many levels. I still can't figure out if it broke my heart or if it made it bigger. Maybe a little bit of both.
In first place the movie is well-adapted from the book, maybe in the book you are more aware of the time because of the letter dates, but okay, I enjoyed so far the original story and watching the movie made me feel like when I was reading it adding of course good actors that have made a well played movie. The movie shows so many facts about youth that is hard not to feel identified with some of them. The director is actually the writer of the book, so good point at it. I have to say that I loved this movie so much that I recommend you to watch it.
We are infinite
Oh hey, it's February the 2nd, let's re-watch this for the umpteenth time. :D
I thought this was an amazing movie. It's called slow, but I don't think it's ever a dull movie. Really good story in my opinion.
Wow, what a colossal disappointment this was. Just a pile of garbage.
Until the script loses its cojones and the third act turns it into just another revenge thriller, this is a tense, visually stunning, action flick that also has something serious to say about the ambiguity and futility of the War on Drugs.
I'm a parent so I had an emotional connection since the trailer dropped... The bad reviews are from children expecting a flick with "splosions" and "boobies" lol
People seem to either love or hate this film. Personally I love it. It's a great story of aliens on earth and their situation is a commentary on real life refugees. Overall the film has a gritty documentary feel that gives it an added edge.
One of my favorite alien movies.
Random person: "Do you always get teary eyed on Snapes death scene ?"
Me: "Always..."
I really am not okay
The Harry Potter films represent my childhood. I don't get tired of rewatching the films of this saga!
This was the first time that I saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part II since I've saw it at the cinema, at the time of his release. And there it was the same kind of sadness and melancholy at the end of it, the same thing that I felt when I first saw it and the reason of those feelings is because It All Ends.
Without a doubt one of the best films released in my lifetime. I absolutely love A.A. Milne and I believe that if every adult continues to read the Winnie-the-Pooh stories, the world would be a better place. Like millions of other people, these stories were part of my childhood, and as I grew up, I began to research more about the man who created them. I found the life of Alan Milne just as fascinating as the books. His background definitely played a part in how deep these children's stories are. While they may be deep, they're never dark, which is an astonishing achievement from an author who suffered with post traumatic stress.
Every part of this film works wonderfully. The acting is superb by every member of the cast, the camera work and lighting is second to none. The editing is phenomenal. The music helps create the nostalgic atmosphere of the whole film. But the storytelling is what makes it work so well.
It really is an emotional journey through the past, especially for anyone who cares so much about the people who are portrayed in the film. There's references from the original stories throughout the film (which shows what inspired him to put these ideas in.) But I think even for those who are not as familiar with the books, it is still a magnificent film. It will certainly give any viewer a better appreciation of the Milne family and the wonderful world of Winnie-the-Pooh.
I can't remember the last time I cried while watching a movie. and I'm not an emotional person, but the ending scene was trully exceptional i just couldn't stop myself. the casting was amazing, Malek's performance was perfect as well 10/10
Absolutely perfect! Exactly what I hoped it would be: An affectionate, but objective biopic about Queen and their music. I'd heard about it being an emotional rollercoaster, and I must admit, one or two tears did roll down my cheeks. But I was quite relieved that it didn't dwell on the aids too much, as that's not what Freddie would have wanted. He kept on "fighting 'til the end", and the main focus of the film was their music.
Outstanding performances by all members of the cast, and whoever did the casting, make-up and costumes deserves an award. You really believed Gwilym Lee was Brian May, Ben Hardy was Roger Taylor and Joseph Mazello was John Deacon. They all looked spot on. Needless to say Rami Malek was just phenomenal as Freddie. Nobody could have played the part better.
The amount of work that has gone into the making of this film is absolutely mind-blowing. They have set the standard high for all future biopics to compete. I've never known anything like this film.
The whole cast was really well chosen, but Malek...Oh, Malek did just a phenomenal job here! He really shows his caliber as an actor, absolutely worth seeing!
This flick is not worth watching! 3 Cripple-Cannibals are on the hunt in a big lonely American forest. Starts very promising but gets worse and worse...
Typical teen horror film with sexy girls and gory killers.This is as average as it can get.
Who wouldn't fall in love with Cate Blanchett? What a beautiful film.
Great cinematic, great actors, dumb and pointless plot - especially the ending.
I want 2 hours of my life back!
Perfect atmosphere (you can almost feel the hot), realistic dialogue (the italians are hilarious) and above all great message. Spike Lee's masterpiece.
