Real Steel (2011)

This movie I waited a very long time. So, like in the movies I go to did not work because of where they live, I waited a very long release on DVD or Blu-Ray. But, many thanks to pirates, who have allowed me to enjoy this wonderful movie in DVDRip.

The film is about a father with his son found a nedavnopoznakomivshemsya unnecessary anyone robot-boxer and gave him a chance to prove himself in the ring.

Many of you know Shawn Levy as the creator of “Night at the Museum,” “Newlyweds,” “Cheaper by the Dozen”, etc. Personally, I’m neutral to it. The above tapes are not made by me the slightest impression, and remember how laytovye family comedy, which are and can not remember the next day. If I knew he was director of “Living Steel”, I would not expect from such a picture.

Ribbon liked. It skillfully combines roboboks, the relationship of father and son, Charlie and Bailey relations and many other story lines are interwoven here. This is a very happy, because it gives the film a kind of watery, but not too much. That does not make a movie melodrama or children, despite the fact that the robots in the ring, but does not feed more severe. That is, children are completely without damage to itself can look at these fights. If people were in the ring, it would be painful to look at how to strike, it would be a lot of blood, and the child is unlikely to be too happy. I also liked the fact that the soulless robots seem to show just the other side. In principle, this was the basic idea of ​​the film. We are people perceive them as ordinary piece of iron, and suddenly, the creators decided to break that stereotype, showing that the atom had heard that Max tells him in other ways. All of you know, watching movies about boxing, you can see the angry crowd that shouts, supports, etc. Here are all the same thing when you see millions of people who support such a call Max, created certain tact, which, at least, I involuntarily match. These crowd scenes give birth. Even like getting into a rhythm, clapping and jumping up and down with arms outstretched. Even the proud, looking through the eyes of his son to his father in the final bout. The tape can see everyone from 5 – 7 years. The boys especially like it because they are boxing fans and robots. The girls love their movie animation. The same, for example, the scene of instruction, where the viewer feels literally everything that happens in the soul of the Atom. Action scenes are really beautiful.

The actors. All know Hugh Jackman, who plays Charlie. Of course, he cope with it. I generally like Hugh himself as an actor. He was always serious about the role. And I’m honestly surprised why Jackman has no such prestigious awards as the Oscars or Golden Globes. But I am most pleased with son Charlie Max, played by Dakota Goyo. This talented boy I’ll never forget. I think his game, he walked and Hugh and Evangeline, and in general all the actors who participated in the shooting. He is only 12 years old and he has in this film could excel and play, as I said, and the ability to dance (dance scene Max and Atom before the fight will go down in history). I am always amazed at the children – the actors. After all, you need to act in parallel with their studies, go to the press shows and conferences, participate in photo shoots a lot more. How many premieres had Dakota after “Living Steel”? But he still only a schoolboy. Hopefully in the future it will outshine all the superstars that we know. Well, now I wish him the career development. Evangeline Lilly, which has proved itself in the “Lost” also did not disappoint. Although its role is less significant, all – well, it was good. Good for you! I also want to acknowledge the presence in the film of our compatriot Olga Funds. Not many can achieve success in Hollywood. In fact, it is not an actress and model, so it has so many roles. But as the Russian woman I am proud of it.

Living Steel – a great movie. I recommend it to all people age 5 and older. He teaches good, despite the fact that touched upon the box.

P. S. Minus of the film is that is full of advertising. Even if you look at the interesting facts you can see: “The remote control robot NoiziBoy shows the logo of the company Hewlett-Packard», «On the billboards during the main battle is shown advertising Xbox 720,” “In the final battle on the poster, featuring a round number, shows the logo hp ». I do not know how you and me, it’s wildly annoying. To advertise within the designated column in the Internet, the time on TV, place on the buildings. It is everywhere, but it still needs to cram into a movie, right?

In Time (2011)

The most unpredictable, mysterious and inexorable phenomenon in the universe. In heavy, boring and difficult situations, it runs incredibly slowly. In moments of joy, happiness and joy it disappears for a moment. Someone chasing him all his life, constantly being late, but trying to use it to good use. Someone foolishly spent, not including it with something precious. Its given to all equally, but how to use it – it can only decide we do. It is always and inevitably, it is impossible to stop or destroy the lure to their side. And because it is priceless. Thus, the “Time”, the year 2011.

Eternity – what is it? Grace or curse? Is it possible to achieve, or is it just an illusion. In the world of “Time” is quite common and the real thing is available to all. Yet one of the people in sweat every day at work, laying out all of himself to be able to wake up again the next day in bed and enjoy life. Other – live luxuriously and at ease, now I have on my account for millions of years of life. But another question – and so there should be, really? Is the time is so short that it is not enough for everyone? Or just someone to equality is not profitable?

This story could not be better embodies the word “time – the money,” reflecting the current state of affairs in our world. There are ordinary people, working for peanuts, which go to support a family, clothes, food and occasional entertainment. Difficult for them, but they know how to appreciate what they’re given. And time and money. No waste, spent aimlessly moments of life, they are able to enjoy every detail. And, in my opinion, that’s fine. And looking at the rich and wealthy people, they do not understand how they can so freely and wantonly squandered the money. On the other – the elite, wealthy people. Those who are not beneficial to everyone in the world and they were equal in all possible ways (tax and price increases to the open theft) keep the working class in the reins polunischenskogo existence. But they have one very important thing. They do not have the ability to fully enjoy life properly and sensibly allocate their lives and finances. No matter how great the bowl, it will still someday be filled, as it had not been high candle, it will ever burn. Yes, life is unfair in many ways, taking from some and giving to others. But I think that the question “Who is better off?” Very difficult to give a definite and correct answer. Will every day going out to work, and plenty of time dreaming about, but who is able to experience the joy of life and happiness from the time spent. And Sylvia, which has all but “dying” of boredom and hopelessness of his eternal existence. None of them is wrong, and only united, filling gaps and correcting flaws in each other, they were able to really enjoy life, and enable others to enjoy it.

Yes, the film reflects the effect of the so-called system. Hierarchy, in which there is room and the poor and the rich and the set of methods and rules that hold them in balance. “Corporations,” which depicts the imaginary fantasy that everyone can live in prosperity and joy, but at the same time, all sorts of ways of trying to prevent this. Growing wages – rising prices and taxes. And yet this story is how little chance calls for struggle. Because no system is immutable and eternal. One day will come when all this may fail. And the story of Will – this is the path of becoming a person who in the struggle and quest for truth turns from ordinary citizens, “gray mass” in a terrible weapon that can destroy the mighty, but the wrong device “orders of life.” The main thing always – is to fight and never give up. Let no one at the level of world domination, but at least in ordinary, everyday problems.

But, however obvious it may sound, this story is primarily about the time the most precious and eternal things in the world. Need to appreciate every moment of his life, to enjoy even the simplest little things, to give love to their families and friends. And do not disturb others do the same. Everyone has the right to life and time.

Money comes and goes. Time is moving inexorably forward. And rightly know how to use them – that’s valuable. A stunning, a little sad, a little funny and cheerful, thoughtful and relevant film with excellent acting, dynamic plot and vivid and spectacular visuals.

The Ides of March

The phrase “Beware the Ides of March!” Of Shakespeare’s plays, has long been a cruise. It is in the so-called “Ides of March” (Ides – the day mid-month in the ancient Roman calendar) was killed on the eve of the Senate, the conspirators, Julius Caesar. Time passes, and get rid of unwanted politicians no one stopped. Sometimes it is as radically as in ancient times, a simple murder, but a more “sophisticated” method – turning policy into a “political corpse” than a real corpse.

The American political system, as well as the U.S. election process is very complex and differ diametrically from the system, which are used in the former Soviet Union. In the presence of the two leading parties (Democratic and Republican) battle for the presidency a very tough among sopartitsev, so at first arranged the so-called “primaries” (pre-election among party members, the results of which is determined by a single candidate from the party in the presidential election).

George Clooney, a talented actor who has proved himself more as a director and screenwriter, has managed to surprise, removing the “Good Night and Good Luck”, which was able to get into the top five best films of 2005 at the “Oscars”. Sporting a retro-drama “Love without rules” did not use any critical or audience success. But in 2011 George Clooney has prepared a new surprise – a screen version of the political play of the election campaign. And not lost, the film was received very favorably by critics and cinema collected a number of awards and nominations.

The film is, as already mentioned, is based on the play, which in turn is based on the scandal around the primaries of the Democratic Party in 2004, when details of the personal life of one of the applicants were known to the general public.

The protagonist of the film was Steven Meyers Jr. manager of election headquarters Governor Mike Morris. The whole affair is that Stephen, that not expecting to become a party of internal political conspiracy, which led to withdrawal of candidature Morris.

Political intrigue – it is always very complicated, so that the viewer would not bored, you have to intrigue going on. The first half of the movie of intrigue does not portend any, so it pays to be patient and wait for the climax, when things start to swing from a leisurely turn into an avalanche of political turnover, scandal and intrigue.

Clooney as a director is very good at working with actors, not with newcomers and with experienced and well known. Home luck movie – this is definitely Ryan Gosling and his hero. Very well-coded image of the hero Gosling, who from the idealistic campaign staff worker, turns into a real “shark policy,” deserves major praise. Gosling in general has recently become a very productive actor, starring in several films, and each of them, it’s his role and the characters were the main rod movies. A Gosling plays just fine, even if he wanted only to change facial expressions and not to utter remarks. This is such a charismatic actor, just that his appearance on the screen can decorate any film. If you add the inherent talent of the actor, it’s just double the fun.

But of course, not a single Gosling “live” the movie. Great role played in it Evan Rachel Wood, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti and himself, George Clooney.

Given that the film is about politics, the film is dialogue, not action, so the film’s target audience is clearly narrowed and not everyone can get involved in political intrigue behind the scenes. But overall the film is able to and can keep the viewer in suspense.

And finally, the interesting fact that can uninitiated viewer confusion. The fact is that even though the plot evolves around the events of 2004, but the filmmakers decided to use film to “adapt” pre-election posters of presidential race of 2008. So famous poster “Hope”, which was portrayed Barack Obama, have been remodeled and in the same style made posters with the character of George Clooney.

Rango (2011)

Before us is unfolding story of a chameleon, experiencing some difficulties with self-determination in this world. But at the same time, he is endowed with very fertile imagination, literally beating through the region and helping to find a way out of difficult situations, wit, humor and, of course, charm. These qualities helped him gain popularity around – but at heart Rank understands that everything that happens – just another role, played out to them. At this inner conflict of the hero and tied the whole movie.

Fate cruelly throws our hick town in the lizard with the telling name Drought. At the very appearance of its inhabitants becomes clear that the life they are not simple, but the only thing that supports them – the belief in a brighter future (as it is vital!). And at this moment there is a hero, in which all need so much – Rank.

In our area it is called “improvisation”.

All the same, “rank” – more than just a cartoon. It’s a western, of course, with animated parts. This innovation, and perhaps this is a product for adults, not children. Moreover, if you expect to turn off the brain and relax … “rank” can not justify your expectations. Yet, here, there, what to think: after all, the hero is a very difficult path, and not only struggling with a variety of troubles, but also tries to understand who he really is. And still there, something to laugh, that’s for sure! I do not know, maybe it shattered in my own mind, but some things made me laugh hysterically!

“I see you advise to the spirits! – No, I shed. ”

The disadvantages of appearance in the movie I’ll take some of the sayings, which would be better there were not, but we already sort of decided that the more pleasure from viewing adult will receive, is not it? About the fact that the characters are scary-looking … well, not handsome, certainly, particularly members of a family, who tried to rob a bank, but they are not so terrible. I do not think that even in childhood, they would have frightened me. And it was strange to see this film in the context of cute bunnies and furry squirrels.

Everyone has their own way, amigo.

The two most important plus “rank” – Great graphics and music. Perhaps a little of what you’ll find animated film so carefully executed work to the most minute detail. Charms, as the sand pours out of the clutches of rank, when he walked on the dunes as a natural look scales and feathers, the characters, the water droplets. Well, the music … It’s great that the composer here – such a great artist like Hans Zimmer, his music has always characterized the power and passion, and the soundtrack to “rank” – a dynamic, exciting – too much proof of that. Really liked the original arrangement of “Flight of the Valkyries” and the quartet performances owls, happy premonitory main character death.

And, of course, heroes. About the unique charm of Grade I mentioned. Seemed to be opposed to it – Gremuchka Jake, repulsive and attractive in its depravity. Needless to say, Ivan Okhlobystin good. Even too much (just kidding). Bill Nighy as well. Especially watching the original version: and so, with the voice of Jake Bill Nighy as if a different character. Less ironic, more vicious, as many goosebumps.

In fact, a very successful and professional duplication of characters, including the most rank, for which a special thank you.

P.S. I looked not so many westerns for his life, because they are no longer very popular, but the “rank” I conquered. I think that now make sure to check anything else on the great Spirit of the Wild West.

The Dark Knight

Thus, the new movie in my collection – “The Dark Knight.” Imagination with the word “knight” immediately draws a noble and good man, but confused by the word “black”. “Black” can refer to the color of the soul, or color, or … Well, it does not matter. All the same, the name I have not figured out what a film. I have not seen the trailer, the content of the movie did not even read, “Batman. Home »did not look too (it turned out that the existence of this film has learned later). The content of “The Dark Knight” did not read before watching, because long ago became convinced that so interesting to watch the film and many of the points seem to be surprising, therefore it is more emotion and excitement.

Well, to begin viewing. Sophisticated bank robbery, criminals are put in a clown mask, and all betray each other and killed. All flashing, no one remembers particularly, but with a strange type of make-up, calling himself the Joker, it looks strange, even a little scary, leaves the impression of himself. Then flash and criminals, and police say something about Batman. “Batman? Is this another type of comic? About it so much removed, tired already! “- I think, but still keep on browsing. Soon I see the hero and comic books. He spectacularly beautiful and disappears. “It seems all is not bad” – flashed in my mind.

Soon you can see the hero without a mask, a good appearance, good character. The strong, resolute and … tired. Fight against crime, instill hope in people – not an easy job, so you can understand. Batman is looking for a receiver that would have a rest from crime and to stay with his beloved. But either the one or the other of his hopes are not fulfilled, so we can only imagine what pain feels Batman. As for the acting of the hero (Christian Bale), then I am satisfied with it. All the feelings perfectly transmitted. He is a banker, and the stern hero in a mask. Batman tired of this life, he wants to finally remove the mask and give it to the receiver. So the actor is not required sverhemotsionalnosti. Batman was tired. Batman wants to rest, but can not get it.

Once you can see the villain – the Joker (Heath Ledger). This is not some mythical character, I would rather call him a genius … crazy. Why a genius? Because it seems incredible – all provide the logic to see people guess their actions influence their actions! It would seem that the Joker – it’s a joker, a clown, so why not tell his jokes, but rather, scared? No, actually joked joker throughout the film, just humor him black, scary, understandable only to him, for it might be called crazy. He did not care, he will die or be put him in jail. The main thing – “fun” to create chaos.

By acting Ledger’s claim is not something that is difficult to produce – not to show! The actor has merged with his character. Facial expressions, gestures, gait, laughter – all thought out. We see that the actor feels his character, “imbued with” them through. Oscar, Heath Ledger received – well deserved, but his death …

Another protagonist, or rather heroine – Rachel (Maggie Gyllenhaal). By acting this madam claims just do not, unlike her character. First was in love with Bruce (Batman), and then fell out of love “Dark Knight Gotem”, “white knight” got accustomed to it. She knew very well that not a day when Bruce did not want to be Batman, but just do not understand one more thing – if she will be there only as a friend, be indifferent to it, it will be very difficult. I do not know, good or bad that happened to her in the end.

Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) has become a shining example, as the Joker in “white knight” villain did – through the loss of psychological pressure and physical pain. Acting was not bad here, I just do not like Dent himself, so I will not write much about him.

Even minor characters have come and played by Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman and others. Overall, I liked it, felt experience in acting.

About the special effects I say briefly – they fully justify the budget of the film.

Can not forget about the music, which also awarded a well-deserved Oscar. From the first moment you can hear the intense motivation. When the tension subsides, the music also becomes softer and softer, when increases – louder and harder.

Hard to believe that the film was shot on the comic book has a deeper meaning. It penetrates the soul, then the long walk and meditate on the words, deeds of heroes. “The Dark Knight,” you can watch many times and always find something new.
