good movie, recommended

the story is that of a concubine of a Japanese lord who after giving this an heir is denied and given in marriage to repair a young samurai from a small family.

despite the reluctance of the mother and the initial suspicion of her father, the couple create a strong union and conceive a daughter. throughout the union and the feelings of the couple, however, were described to me better, because despite being one of the most important points of the film is analyzed shortly . the father (played by a consistently great Toshiro Mifune) is struck by the love that binds the two young and decides to commit to defend the union from the lord of the manor that after a few years back the claims .

I must say that the film develops slowly, the story is well told. actors have a very formal acting and theatrical mold, as usual in Japanese cinema .

are mentioned some thoughts on Japanese society of the time, such as the position of women, but more than a critique would call a gash on Japan at the time of the shogunate.

in short, good movie, good actors 7/10

the sequel to "hunger games" seems almost a remake, a bad remake, of the first movie. Major part of the film has many, too many points in common with the prequel.

the rebellion , the dictatorship, are things that deserved to be told more comprehensively , but The film focuses on boring (and very long!) fights already seen in the previous chapter. Better not to speak of the feelings of the protagonists!

Pretty disappointed, however it has some good points. In my opinion are appreciable performances by Donald Sutherland and Philip Seymour Hoffman. 6/10

on stargate I could say hundreds and hundreds of things . I grew up with this series and I've always adored .

If I had to push someone to watch this series I would not know where to start ...

Maybe I 'd start talking about the concept. A series sci-fi , but with some differences compared to the other (Star Trek at all). Stargate is set in the present , not a future or in a distant galaxy , they are our contemporaries who are confronted with aliens.

Then maybe I would speak of the change of the series, the first series in which the main theme was the exploration of worlds to the later seasons , when the individual episodes become more a succession of phases of a larger story .

I'd also note the various xenology, with goau'd : parasites at the head of a feudal system galactic, ancient, superior beings of energy alone, the genius of the Asgard , the peaceful but powerful Nox, and so in addition to these main dozens of other species are very different and well characterized .

How not to talk about the characters, made ​​really well, never too overdone , with real human relationships and not forced. I've always loved Samantha Carter for his strength and genius knows, and Daniel Jackson, cause be so idealistic and good - guy . Of course I also have a soft spot for McCay , the main character of the spin-off of SG1 ... and then Jack , the hero may not always loyal to the military hierarchy but who fights for what he believes right, and Teal'c, the classic Allienus of series sci-fi that is fighting for the rebellion of his people.

Finally, I also enjoyed the science behind the series, from a basic idea that was inspired by the bridges of Einstein-Rose, to the extra dimensions, the blacks holes, the collapsing time, and also the elementary particles, hyperspace, a good mix of scientific concepts and science fiction concepts enough depth in the series and always highly appreciated

Just one last thing, look at it, it will not be a masterpiece but I see all at least once a year with pleasure! In my opinion ( of course is just a subjective judgment) 10/10

The story takes place in a city-state in an alternate world

the city and its population is divided into five factions based character of each person . These communities also have different tasks, but they all contribute to the welfare of the city. The idea of ​​this company "pseudo-Platonic" is cute and interesting, perhaps not too developed.

The story centers on a girl who can not be framed in any of the groups in the city ( defined divergent ) . This aspect explains in a transfigured a critique of conformism , lack of individuality.

Ultimately I would say the themes and ideas of starting interesting but perhaps not fully in-depth as I wanted. However cute. 07/10

The film is best known for being the basic idea of "12 Monkeys".

"La Jetée" is one of the more special that I've ever seen.

A short film (30 mins long) that is in reality a series of images with a narrative voice in the background.

It tells the story of an experiment in time travel after a nuclear war, but The story at the end is not so important in the overall picture

The relentless succession of frames with the thrill of having to wait until the next scene change makes it really effective.

I must say that in a sense I was shocked after seeing him. I consider this film a masterpiece 9/10

I watched this film because it is an anime very well known outside of Japan and considered very important, "the founder of anime ninja in the world".

in my opinion is much less interesting than other anime like "Ghost in the Shell" and "Akira" (to name two well known abroad)

the story is fairly trivial , the hero, the girl, the love between them, the old Japanese wise, the (supernatural) enemies.

the images are very beautiful, very raw and shocking, the most important part of the movie.

In conclusion I would say a lot less than its reputation. 6/10

The story is about a girl who, not out of necessity or any particular reason, he began to engage in prostitution. In this ozon's movie I especially appreciate the "lack of expression".

I find it remarkable to be able to deal with an issue such as prostitution in a totally amoral, without judgment of any kind. Interesting is the character of the mother, of course, once discovered that the activity of the daughter tries to fight it in every way. The mother's attitude suggests that she believes her daughter's deplorable attitude not for some particular reasons, do not move never actually a reasoned criticism, but simply thinks that her daughter feels wrong because it should be so and that's it.

Between the lines, I think you can also see an exaltation of the present generation and a critique of the past, especially in the final scene but do not want to anticipate. The film is not a masterpiece but still got me interested, 7/10
