REBECCA : Genius Hitchcock




Do you know what was the secret of Manderley? Maybe you don't know the answer,however,which you should know is about this gothic romance film.Throughout Hitchcock career,it's a well-known fact that there are wonderful titles from this genuine director,which it will be difficult to choose one of them,although from my point of view 'Rebecca' is a must watch.

The British-born American filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock is the best-known to love making movies on location instead of in the studio and passionate of mystery plots.'Rebecca' was based on the 1938 novel with the same name by Daphne du Maurier,after reading Hitchcock decided to direct 'Rebecca' with David O.Selznick production in 1940.The film received countless awards due to its big success,an Academy Award among others.One curiosity about this film is the clothing which main female wears during the permormance,after this movie this garb was called with the name of this film.

Maximillian de Winter (Laurence Olivier) is a lord in Montecarlo.One night,this aristocratic widower meets a beautiful and sweet woman (Joan Fontaine) who works as a paid companion to E.Van Hopper (Florence Bates).After first day,the couple fall in love in due time,but the unnamed young women hides this information to his superior.Finally,the couple get married and they decide to live in Manderly,and the young women become the second Mrs the Winter.This place is really mysterious mansion.Max never comes back after his previous wife dead.The Rebecca's shadow,her stranger death and the staff of Manderlay take a horrible stay to the new Mrs the Winter.

This film is fascinating and really entertaining,especially after the first meeting between Joan Fontaine and Laurence Olivier.Although it seems to be an old-fashioned story,nothing could be further from the truth,which is an original plot and easy to follow and when you start you can not put it down.I highly recommend 'Rebeca' to anyone who enjoys mystery films.

MARY POPPINS : Practically perfect in every way





Do you remember a film which you used to watch over and over? It is often said that your favourite films rarely corresponds when you were a child with your current priorities.In my case,nowadays I hardly ever watch Mary Poppins,however,when I was a child,I managed to watch this unforgettable movie several times in a row.Even now,I love it!.

Mary Poppins is an American musical film,which was directed by Robert Stevenson  and produced by Wall Disney.This wonderful film had received countless awards during its 54 years,the most famous were 13 Academy Awards,which it won five (Best actress,best film editing,original soung edition,best visual edition and original song edition  'Chim Chim Cher-ee'.Its songs were arranged by the Shermann Brothers.It was a critical acclaim when it was released in August,1984.After all is said and done,its success is unquestionable,thanks chiefly to its famous main characters,Julia Andrews (Mary Poppins) and Dick Van Dyke (Bert).Five years ago,Walt Disney Picture released 'Saving Mr.Banks',which plot hinges on the production of the popular Mary Poppins.It was interpreted by Enma Thompson,Tom Hanks....

All begins when Mr.Banks and his wife hate not find a good nanny at leats she endurances more than 2 days with his sons,Jane and Michael.Until one day,surprisingly,Mary Poppins is the only one candidate to work post.So,quickly both children and parents are really happy with this magic nanny.Children love spending time with Mary Poppins,given that the amazing nanny uses her magic to transport into some amazing landscapes,funny tea party or dancing on the rooftops together her friend,Bert.This experience with Mary Poppins changed their life,both children and Mr.Banks.

I highly recommend this amazing film.Everyone should watch Mary Poppins at least one in their life.No matter what year it is or how old are,this unforgettable nanny will never become dull.His goal was to teach a lesson to children and its father about growing up in an entertaining way,without rules.All things considered,what I really loved about this film is the strength of Mary Poppins.Next December,we will have the choice to watch 'Mary Poppins Returs'.....To have an opinion,we will have to wait.
.......well,you can say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious when you have nothing to say.

TERMINATOR 2 judgment day : I’ll be back.




Honestly,there aren too many soundtracks which give a special feeling when I start to listen,maybe Rocky or back to the future are one of them….but ‘You could be mine’ by Guns and Roses is also an special case.Cinema audio track is on of the most important point in a cinema production.It is really common to know the music more than the plot.I don’t remember what the latest Terminator was,when I listened again its soundtrack in the cinema,but I pretty call to mind it was an amazing moment.

Terminator 2 :Judgment Day is an American science-fiction movie.It was directed and writter by James Cameron and it was also writter by William Wisher in 1991.First of all,it is significance to point out that this movie was an absolute key to Schwarzenegger’s and Cameron’s careers.Apart from its enormous success,it is considered one the most influential visual effects films of all time.Furthermore,the film received several accolades,and a one the highest-grossing film in its time.This famous franchise is completed by the previous one Terminator in 1984 and  later with Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003),Terminator Salvation (2009),Terminator Genisys (2015) and Terminator : Dark Fate (2019),apart from numerous video games,Tv series or comics.As a final prying,The first scene,in which the nuclear apocalypse is depicted,costs more that the entire first film.

In 2029,the war has arrived between malignant machines and human resistance.Skynes creates the strongest prototype,the T-1000 (Robert Patrick)  to destructive the opposition leader John Connor (Edward Furlong).Yet,the human proyect develops the T-800 Terminator to protect Connor,which is covered in synthetic flesh (Arnold Schwarzenegger).His mother,Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton),who was arrested to avoid the ‘Judgment Day’,in this time they have to struggle with the T-800 to ensure the future of humanity.There,the boy and the robot establish an unexpected bond.

To my mind,one of the greatest action movies I have ever seen.Phenomenal Acting,mind blowing special effects along with an amezing soundtrack.What’s more,the best of the franchise that shows how advamces in technology can affect the future.Flipping Arnie to being the good guy really which helps develop characters,this is the must see movie of the franchise.
….The unknown future rolls toward us.I face it,for the first time,with a sense of hope.Because if a machine,a Terminator,can learn the value of human life,maybe we can too.

SECRET ADMIRER : A love letter






Are current teenagers movies only for themselves? There is not doubt that these films never go out fashion.It is a well-known fact that this type of movies are following from teenagers,however, when these teens become adults keep watching them,despite of the lack of complex plot,we love them!.Nowadays,there a plenty of these films,although from my point of view in the past we could get the greatest like 'The outsiders' or 'The breakfast club',but my favourite is 'Secret Admirer'

This teen romantic comedy film was directed by David Greenwalt in 1985,among its main characters we can watch some famous young actors that later they become in the spotlight,like C.Thomas Howell (Michael),Lori Loughlin (Toni) and Kelly Preston (Debi,John Travolta's real wife).Its unforgettable soundtrack was arranged by Jan Hammer.In 2016,an independent film,'Paper cups' from Puerto Rican,were critiqued on account of to be an almost-exact copy of Secret Admirer.

This entertaining film starts when Toni writes a love letter for Mike,but she doesn't want to Mike knows that it is hers.So,this letter which passed between parents and friends,from one hand to another,and all of them think that they have a lover,which results a plenty of funny misunderstandings.This tangle situation is caused because Toni is not capable to say that she falls in love with Michael,given that he totally falls in love with his best friend,Debi.

What I really loved about the film is how the original plot is shown.I wanted to know what was going to happen to Michael and Toni.Although some parts of the film are a little predictable,I find it entertaining and haunting.
.....Sometimes when you're looking for.....is right beside you.

Do you like musical films?

In today's world,many people claim that musical films are boring,however we can find numerous of these film genre which are unforgettable,like West Side Story or The Sound of Music,but my favourite is Grease.Nowadays,we are celebrated its 40 years aniversary.

This amazing film is mainly known by their main character couple who are Jhon Travolta (Danny Zuco) and Olivia Newton-John (Sandy Olsson).Grease was successful both critically and commercially.It received an award in the People Choice Awards in 1978 and some nomination of Golden Globe.What's more,their soundtarck received countless awards and a nomination for Academy Awards (Which lose by Donna Summer),After Grease,there was Grease 2 which didn't have the same success (interpreted by Michelle Pfeiffer and Maxwll Caulfield).

1978,Summer nights (it is one of its most famous songs),so its beginning of this romantic film,a young couple meet during thier summer and they have a relationship.
Neverthless,this changed when their summer finished.Sandy started in a Rydell high school,where surprisingly Danny is studying.There,Danny has behavior and he is look like totally different than a guy which Sandy knew during their passionate summer,after that the film is a plenty of musical,romantic and funny scenes from these couple and the rest of characters.Where Danny struggle to recover the love of Sandy.

As far as I'm concerned this movie is great.It is the typical film which you can't let to watch again and again.Needless to say that Grease is from both children and adults.To sum up,I love it because the plot is so gripping and absolutely catching.
For these reasons I would recommend Grease,although I'm sure you had ever watched it.
