THE TIGER AND THE SNOW : Sleeping beauty

Fall in love,what is the cost? in today's world,many people claim that the way forward is love in order to have a better world,without a doubt whatsoever.However,this fact goes through us,in some cases,too much effort to get it,it's crystal clear that Roberto Benigni and his films struggle for it.So,The Tiger and The Snow is a beautiful representation of romantic stories.

As we know,Roberto Benigni is a director who loves romantic films.This pretty movie is inspired by the fariy of the Sleeping Beauty.The Tiger and the Snow is an Italian movie starring and directed by Roberto Benigni in 2005.Besides,we can watch,as in Life is Beautiful,Benigni's wife (Nicolleta Braschi) interpreted the mai character,which is the Roberto Benigni's sign of identity.

To start off,Attilio de Giovanni (Roberto Benigni) is a teacher who works in a University learning poetry for foreign people.Attilio is madly in love for Vittoria (Nicolleta Braschi) but she constantly  reject him.They got separated years ago,however Attilio try to convince her to start over again,yet Vittoria just return to him unless she will see a tiger in the snow.The film show Baghdad war due to Vittoria has to go there in order to end up a project.There,Vittoria is wounded as collateral damage.When Attilio know the news,sneaks onto a flight to Baghdad in a desperate attempt to save her life.

In a nutshell,The Tiger and The Snow uses parody to criticize the Baghdad war and conventions such as love,and the same time,pictures a perfect description of horrible fact of war.When I was watching this film I couldn't help but remember some horrible images which TVs showed at that  time.As Roberto Benigni points out in the preface : although my film is intended mainly for the entertainment and for all of lovers of romantic films,for part of his was trying to pleasantly remind couples of what they once were together,and of how they felt.I hope it will not be shunned by critizing the war consequences.It's crystal clear that The Tiger and The Snow is a must.
........and as Attilio said 'it is necessary to be happy'.

PULP FICTION : Tarantino's masterpiece

It's crystal clear that Tarantino never let us indifferent.There is not doubt that this controversial director has numeros fans,but also has planty of detractors.However,let's dive deeper into it an pin down that Pulp Fiction became the Tarantino's masterpiece,I must make clear that this film is,in some scenes.really difficult to follow and it sounds strange but the main idea and his plot are simply great.

Pulp fiction was directed by Quentin Tarantino in 1994.Its ingenious monologues,casual conversations and electric dialogue along with these ironic situations of humor and strong violence makes us a passionate film.Pulp Fiction received countless awards like a Palme d'Or,numerous nominations and some international awards,above all seven Academy Awards,which won one of them.The strenght of this film are its characters,without a doubt whatsover,Jhon Travolta,Uma thurnman,Bruce Wills and Samuel L.Jackson bring us an unforgettable film.

Pulp Fiction is clearly divided in some parts where we can watch really curious situations.First of all,in a restaurant there is a couple speak about how is the difficult to steal,After that,two of the main character are showed,Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L.Jackson) who are involved in a stranger situation,where Marcellus Wallace and his wife,Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman) appear.This scene brings about to a crazy diner between Mia and Vincent.There,it appears the unforgettable dance between them.After that,the film goes through some peculiar acts.

This film is fascinating and really entertaining,in my view,especially after the first ironic conversation.Although it has more than two hours,it is catching to watch and when you start you can not put it down.I highly recommend Pulp Fiction to anyone who enjoys with Tarantion......and remember when you play with matches,you get burned.

THE GOONIES : Where is the 'One-Eyed' Willy treasure?

.

It's difficult to look back on my childhood with some elements of nostalgia (this sentence is dedicated by my friend Antonio) I remember when I used to play with my friends make up adventures about treasures or mysteries.So,I'm sure if you watch Goonies for the first time,you'll remember these memories.Have you ever been a Goonie?

This blockbuster is an American adventure comedy produced (as could not be otherwise) by Steven Spielberg,and directed by Richard Donner.It was in 1985 and when Warner Bros released it,Goonies had a meteoric success as a consequence it grossed $61.5 million worldwide.What's more,it is considered a cult film.And last but not least,there are some curiosities about this amazing film,like its pirate ship was real,the soundtrack 'Eight Arms to Hold You' was not a success an that time however not it is not a really valuable,apart from games or Tv series (for instance 'Stranger things') which were influenced by Goonies.

In Astoria (Oregon),in a small seaside village in EEUU,live peacefully a group of teenagers (Mikey,Brand,Chunk,Mouth,Andy,Stef and Data),in a neigbourhood.However,one day their parents received a letter which tells about evictions their house owing to their debts.Some days later,this gang find a map of the treasure and they decide to looking for this treasure in order to pay these overwhelming payments.This amazing adventure not only is amazing but it is also dangerous due to the difficult and a ganster family (Jack,Francis,Sloth and Mama Fratelli) who try to get this treasure too,although Sloth became a Goonie.

Anyway, although the plot is not exactly a complex to understand I recommend you watch the film given that it is an entertaining story that makes you remember about your childhood.In addition, it was way ahead of its time:thinking of evictions and how these teenagers struggle about it at that time was really creative, don't you think ?
..............as Mikey said 'Goonies never say die'

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.
........Last night I dreamt I came to Manderley again.
