Random person: "Do you always get teary eyed on Snapes death scene ?"
Me: "Always..."
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.
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!
Oh hey, it's February the 2nd, let's re-watch this for the umpteenth time. :D
If you think Inception had a complicated plot, this movie isn't for you. Really. There's charts with loops on the Internet which show the plot and what's happening when. You'll probably need to watch this movie at least twice.
It's very, very good.
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.
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.
"Are you hungry? I haven't eaten since later this afternoon."
'Inception' looks like a Fisher-Price puzzle compared to this film.
Great cinematic, great actors, dumb and pointless plot - especially the ending.
I want 2 hours of my life back!
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.
I saw this when I was very young, I still can't get through it with out crying, it start funny and all but when you don't expect it, it hits you up right in the feels. :sob: It's a roller coaster of emotions for me idk maybe I'm weird.
this is one of best work of Adam Sandler.
I like to watch this movie time to time just to remind me to appreciate my life, my time and think more about my actions. you may find it funny but this movie taught me great lessons.
Everytime i watch this movie, i feel like i can die happy.
I really am not okay
Watching this movie was such a trip. Seeing them happy only broke your heart even more.
One of my favorite alien movies.
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.
Worth seeing. Even if you aren't a fan of Punk'd or Dude Where's My.. you'll enjoy seeing Kutcher in this role. The story is very gripping and almost makes you review how things could have changed in your life had some different events altered it.
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.
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
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
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.
I wish I know how to quit you :'(
This really is a sad movie. Heath Ledger is awesome in this movie. Love is love, painful and even more difficult for those who are gay: opportunities missed.... so sad and so great.
Who wouldn't fall in love with Cate Blanchett? What a beautiful film.
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.
I'd like to point out that Jake Gly dying is the worst thing that has happened to me all summer.
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...
