THE TOY : The most outrageous gift

 


August is probably my favourite month,with December,not only is it my birthday but also my holidays.Yet,I must make clear,related to my birthday,I love receiving presents.Since I was a child,this day is pretty special and there are plenty of present which are in my deepest memorices.Nowadays,I could realize that children are not  happy with their present in comparison  with past times,they are completely unsatisfied .The Toy is a hilarious but clear example of that. 

The toy is an American film.It is directed by Richard Donn in 1982.This comedy film was absolutely dislike from critics.They believed that it was an overwhelming aversion in spite of the Richard Pryor career.However,’The Toy’ grossed a high value when it was released.I would like to point out that this movie was an adaptation on a French comedy.Regarding Pryor trayectory,he is well-known over some relevant hits like ‘See no evil,hear no evil’ or ‘Moving’.

After personal negative situations,Jack Brown (Richard Pryor) is looking for a job and recover his house.Finally,Jack ends up working to a ambitious and arrogant businessman U.S.Bates.Jack is absolutelly upset to have to work with ruthless department store owner but it is his last choice.One day,while Jack is working in the department store,Eric (Scott Schwartz) the selfish and spoiled son of the boss,informs his father’s right-hand man (Sydney Morehouse) that he wants to have Jack Brown as a present birthday.This fact is so humilianting to Jack becomes as Eric’s new ‘toy’.Sydney,despite human beings cannot be owner,tries to convince Jack to accept this offer and a compensation paying his house.Finally.it is crystal clear that it may be something weird but it surprensedly becomes a joyous friendship.

All in all,I highly recommend this 80s comedy and another Richard Pryor success,in my personal view,will be watched many generations to come due to its meaning lessons and to its amusing script…Why me?of all the stuff in the store,why did you pick me?.

THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON : You never know what’s coming for you.

 


Yesterday was my birthday…..I’m usually in two minds this day,one the one side,it is so special for me due to the fact I spend time with my whole family and I can celebrate that I have health and I have a lot of dreams and goal to get.Yet,not all that glitters is gold over my birthday,it is pretty clear that I’m older and if I have fears and concerns over my future,what’s more my family and me could go through relevant issue related to our age.All things considered,It’s fair to point out I’d like to be younger,not only bring my past experiences back and appearance,but also my parents’ health.To be honest,in general,I’m happy with my situation and under no circumstances I wouldn't be in the same situation than Benjamin Button.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is an American fantasy film.It is directed by David Fincher in 2008.Although this film is relatively recent,it is based on a short story of the same name by F.Scott Fitzgerald in 1922.It happens to be that this project had strong difficulties in order to get the rights,for that reason this film couldn’t see in the light in spite of it was sold in the mid-1980s.It’s crystal clear that Brad Pitt’s role is the key in this film.He received countless reviews from critics for his performance,besides the film was also a box office success and it received thirteen Academy nominations,the most of the Academy Awards history,which shows that The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was a huge blockbuster.

2005,Since Hurricane Katrina approached,Daisy Fuller (Cate Blanchett) was on her deathbed at a hospital,next to her it was her daughter.Daisy comments something about a child who was dead after World War I and that situation was so relevant due to the fact his elderly aspect.One night,almost one century before,a boy is born with an elderly appearance,naming him Benjamin (Brad Pitt).His life starts in the wrong way,walking with crutches and matters for his weird aspect.After that,he and Daisy become friends.During years,Benjamin changes his aspect and his aging backwards.Although he has all sorts of unusual situations over the course of his life,it is his relationship with Daisy,and the hope that they will come together at the right time,that drives Benjamin forward.

In essence,I believe that few directors offer the variety of pleasures that David Fincher has wonderfully reflected from a short story to with The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,which will likely be remembered as one of the most entertaining and charming movie for many generations to come.In fact,we could realize how the Academy operated…
….Our lives are defined by opportunities,even the ones we miss.
