Must see movies(6)




"Nuovo Cinema Paradiso" well the name suggests it all.It is an Italian movie. A movie about a big director who remembers his childhood and teenage years and how one person had a great influence on him. An engaging movie about friendship, about love and about cinema. The acting and the script is phenomenal. It is pure magic. You will wish to see it more than once. That is for sure.

Must see movies(5)


Hi
This month's recco is "Bachcheha Ye Aseman"("Children of heaven")
Well I came across this really nice movie during my Film studies course last month. It is an Iranian movie with Neorealism genre. As was taught to us, the movie is a tribute to the Italian neorealism which depicted the struggle for living during the post war era. The director seems to have made a special tribute to "Ladri Di Biciclette" (The Bicycle Thief) directed by Vittoria De Sicca' considered to be a pioneer in Italian Neorealism based movies. Coming back to the movie, it shows how a little brother and sister, belonging to a family struggling for living,try to cope up with their problem without letting their parents know about it. The movie is very cute and heart touching.U feel glued to the screen throught the movie.

Must see movies(4)

Hi all. This August you return to school in this 1967 flick. "To Sir, With Love " portrays the student teacher relationship. It is about a new teacher on his first job who is assigned the task of teaching spoilt poor teenagers and it is the story of their transformation under him. It is worth a watch. The title song is amazing. Here is the lyrics:
Those schoolgirl days, of telling tales and biting nails are gone,
But in my mind,
I know they will still live on and on,
But how do you thank someone, who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, but I'll try,

If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in letters,
That would soar a thousand feet high,
To Sir, with Love

The time has come,
For closing books and long last looks must end,
And as I leave,
I know that I am leaving my best friend,
A friend who taught me right from wrong,
And weak from strong,
That's a lot to learn,
What, what can I give you in return?

If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start,
But I, would rather you let me give my heart,
To Sir, with Love

Must see movies(3)

Hmm I seem to have skipped the june post. Nevertheless, this is my recco for this month. "Big Fish" is the story of an adventurous man and his son. The story is a autobiography of the man as told by him. His son seems skeptical about the fictitious and adventurous nature of the story as told to him and he wants to discover the truth. Well the story is not about how he discovers, it is what he discovers. The acting is fine and the characters are really amazing.To summarize: "The man is a big fish in a small pond and the son is a tadpole in that pond searching for the big fish"

Must see movies(2)

Hi guests. My recco for this month's movie is my all time favourite "Vita e bella,La"
aka "Life is beautiful".It is an italian movie based during WWII.
It is the story about a man who loves his family very much. He has an incredible sense of humour. He uses this skill for comforting his family during adverse situations. Half of the movie deals with the romantic and family life of this character played by Roberto Benighi and then it shifts to the darker sides of the world war with a kind of humour shown never before. This movie will surely leave an impact on you. I never get tired seeing this movie. It is original and I must say very clever from director's side( who incidently is also the main character of the movie!).

Go and see it this month. You will never regret it.

Must see movies (1)

I hope so start a new subsection in my blog which will give my recco for a movie "u must watch".The movie will be recommended randomly without any inportance to rating(A,U whatever),year, awards,genre etc.It is purely based on my personal choice.
I hope to update the section every month. Well "hopefully.."
So lets get started:
The movie i reccomend you to watch this month is :The Princess Bride

I think this a kind of movie which fully showcases the typical fantasy most of the kids expect.
This is a story told by a grandfather to his grandson. It captures the true way of storytelling:"Enrapturing and imaginable". The movie is a complete fantasy with a rich girl(princess), poor boy, evil prince, witches, swordsmen, giants, crooked nobles, scary animals, death traps, horses. Well a complete fantasy package with comedy, action, thrills and romance.
What else do you want.

I would not like to reveal too much. just go and see this work of art. Or else read the book on which it is based.

After all its a" storybook story".
