A BUG’s LIFE : Ants are not meant to server grasshopper.

 

What are your family traditions? Generally,many families have special practices like going to the same restaurant  or eating their favourite birthday cake,or bedtime routines or eating a special pizza every Friday like my friend Ivan.In my case,I love this type of traditions,my favourite one is when my nephew comes to my home.This day,we usually have the same mores,but our favourite one is watching A bug’s life at the bedroom.These traditions are part our special relationship and our essencia.It is crystal clear that we will keep these memories forever.

A Bug’s life is an American animated film.This production from Pixar studios was the second one after the well-known Toy Story (1995).The movie was created in 2000 by John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton.Needless to say that the film was a complete success,for the audience and for commercial benefits.Yet,there was a controversial point during its production,between Steve Jobs and Lasseter,due to there were two similar films,Antz which was released in the same period of time.Finally,I would like to comment a curiosity.When Flik,the main character,arrives in the cit,one of the billboard signs advertises show the production of the also well-known The Lion King,which was released a year before of Bug’s life.

Flik,a persistent but also clumsy ant.is always thinking about creating new inventions.He lives in ant island with a colony of ants,where the grasshoppers decide the rules.Flik is really famous here but his collections of failures.One day,during a get-together,one of his inventor destroys the food offering.The hoppers are so angry for that and this fact involves negative consequences for the colony.As a compensation,the colony decides to get rid to Flik and sends him off.To Flik could be a punishment,yet it starts a new adventure and his expected opportunity as a inventor.

This movie is definitely an underrated classic.The characters are amazing and the story is actually original after the huge success of Toy Story.There is not doubt,A Bug’s life is a perfect movie to watch an uncle and nephew.

….Together,even the smallest can achive the greatest goal.

GLADIATOR : My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius

 

What are the main reasons why audience considers Gladiator to be one of the best films ever made? There is not doubt that the role of Maximus,its screenplay,its cast along with the ending are its strong points.It is crystal clear that we are in front of a masterpiece and a must if you are cinema lover 

Gladiator is a historical film which was directed by Ridley Scott in 2000.This story was inspired by the novel ‘Those About to Die’ by Daniel P.Mannix.Yet,the final idea was developed by Francozi,who also written the screenplay.It’s important to remark that the production was really complicated due to the plot was written several times.There is not doubt that the story of Maximus Decimus Meridius was a blockbuster with numerous positive audience reviews and along with its global recognise.All these facts made Gladiator won five Academy Awards,apart from other prestigious accolades.As a curiosity,the role of Russell Crowe in the area scenes wasn’t straightforward for him.He injured multiple times,one fall resulted a hip problem and another accident broke his foot.Finally,A sequel,Gladiator II has been just released in 2024.

AD 180,after the victory against Germanic tribes,Maximus Decimus Meridius (Rusell Crowe) returns home.There,he is considered an absolutely idol,especially for the Emperor Marcus Aurelius,above his son Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix).The Emperor ponders that his son is not adequate for this role and Maximus should be the successor.Yet,Commudus is not delighted with the idea and he is capable of all to be proclaim the new emperor.However,this fact enrages to Maximus,who turns a gladiator to avenge the murders as his family and the Emperor

The fusion of the ancient and the modern is seamless.Gladiator does indeed deliver the glory that was Rome,but it also clinically dissects the assumptions on which it was built.

..’Now you are at peace..and someday we will meet again.Only not yet,not yet’
