Rian Johnson takes us through a maze of secrets, lies and greedy heirs, turning the rules of the genre upside down.
Daniel Craig is a real surprise, and Ana de Armas is the beating heart of the movie.
A movie that combines intelligence and fun.
The plot is great and the characters are great, but what impressed me the most was the way the work was organized: The shooting, the music, the editing. It was all perfect.

A deeply moving and deeply human movie that explores the lives of people under surveillance in East . The story follows a KGB officer (Stasi) who is assigned to monitor a writer and an actress, but over time he begins to question his mission and his system, and discovers a human side to him that was completely absent.

Ulrich Mühe's acting performance is exceptional, and the direction is subtle and quiet in a way that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
The movie is not only political, but also about conscience, art, and the ability to change.

A silent masterpiece that delivers its message in the most powerful way possible.

Fortunately, I saw the director's cut of this movie

Kingdom of Heaven begins as an epic about honor, tolerance, and religious balance, but ends as if the Crusaders left Jerusalem with "dignity" to the tune of dramatic music and elegant negotiations. The truth? No. Jerusalem was not surrendered in an idealized scene with an elegant knight and a wise mujahid shaking hands... It was surrendered after Saladin crushed the Crusader army in the Battle of Hattin and wiped them off the face of the earth.

The movie portrays Balian as a blacksmith who became a philosopher of peace, standing in front of Saladin's army with two words and a clean heart. But history tells us that Saladin won an overwhelming victory, not only taking Jerusalem, but also redrawing the map of the Levant from scratch.

Yes, the visuals are superb, and the music gives the movie an almost sacred aura, but in of credibility, the movie glamorizes the loss and puts the Crusaders in the position of an honorable victim, instead of itting that they were defeated militarily after 88 years of conquest.
In the end, it's a fun movie to watch, but don't take it as a history book, just as a fun epic drama.

Every time I watch it, I feel like I'm watching it for the first time. I think almost everything has been said about this movie by now. But, I can still tell you what this masterpiece means to me. For me, this is perhaps one of the most important movies ever made, because it questions our humanity in relation to the universe. Whether it's our ability to love, to think, to persevere, to walk into the unknown. We are explorers, curious at heart. This unbridled curiosity is not our end, but our beginning. It is what has contributed to the progress of this civilization, and it will continue to do so. So, never let anyone ever tell you that we shouldn't look towards the stars and wonder, because that's what makes us human. Without that stargazing, we're just animals, accepting our fate in the dust. I literally adore every detail of this amazing movie.

I think we've all asked ourselves the same question.
Is it fair and acceptable for an entire squad of soldiers to go around and save just one soldier? Especially in the middle of a huge battle with many casualties? Does it make any difference to Ryan's mother if Ryan dies, the rest of her children are already dead.
Director Steven Spielberg never lets you off the hook. No, he shows us what can happen when decisions are imposed on the ground, and that the sacrifices of soldiers do not always serve a clear or just purpose.
This creates an internal conflict in every soldier: Is my life worth less than the life of one person? Is the war worth all the sacrifices?
In the end, the movie offers a deep critique of the war and its decisions, and makes the viewer rethink the meaning of sacrifice and humanity in the midst of chaos.
It's really a great movie and a three-hour cinematic epic.

Denis Villeneuve continues to prove his worth as one of the most promising filmmakers of our time. For me, he is no less than Nolan or any of the great directors, but he sures Nolan in imagination, he has a very wide and wonderful imagination and can create a world of his own.
It's a monumental work of cinema.

A movie that feels like it was designed specifically for midnight existential insomnia. The movie is chaotic and I feel like I'm watching Donnie Darko.
I love movies where the director uses dark lighting and cold colors to reflect the troubled psychological atmosphere and heavy themes.

This is my fourth time watching this wonderful movie, one of the first movies I saw in my life, I the first time I watched it when I was 8 years old, it scared me and left me with nightmares for weeks because of the performance of Paul Dano and David Dastmalchian, I was not a fan of movies and cinema at the time, but when I watched it again, I liked the mystery and the story of the movie very much.
Hugh Jackman gives one of his greatest acting roles as a character torn between his faith and his violence, between being a desperate father and a human being searching for meaning amidst the chaos.
One of the most remarkable psychological thrillers of the last decade, the movie not only has an elaborate detective plot, but dives deep into existential questions about justice, revenge, and parenthood.
Denis Villeneuve's directorial work shows a cinematic virtuosity reminiscent of David Fincher's work in of its bleak tone and slow, tension-filled buildup.

Amy Adams was great as usual - quiet, sensitive, and every scene you really feel like she's going through a tragedy, you feel like she's on the verge of a breakdown, but she's holding it together. She's my favorite actress.
Christoph Waltz was brilliant and his acting was great as usual, but he was acting like he was in a different movie.
The movie is visually beautiful, the story is beautiful, the narrative is simple, and it makes you think about the idea of artistic ownership, and people taking credit for other people's work unfairly.

28 minutes of still images, but more impactful than most big-budget, constant-motion movies.
Chris Marker doesn't make a movie, he digs into memory.

Another of Christopher Nolan's masterpieces, this movie is a masterpiece in of cinematography.
Director Christopher Nolan has, without a doubt, reached the pinnacle of on-screen spectacle. The practical effects feats in this movie are breathtaking.
Nolan doesn't need a long dialog to make you hold your breath.
The movie is all tension, sound, and time running against you. Three fronts, three angles of time, all coming together in a moment of unity that makes you appreciate cinema as a sensory tool more than just a story to be told.

The acting is deliberately silent but effective - the performance is fear in the eyes, the running, the waiting.
And the soundtrack? It's like your heart is beating, minute by minute, with every whistle, every shot, every wave.

It's not Nolan's best movie in of characters, but it's one of the most powerful in of experience.

It's a pretty good movie, but it has a lot of mistakes and a lot of things that don't add up.
1- In a scene while driving the bus, the reflection of the camera lens appears in the bus window, revealing the filming equipment.
2- Everyone manages to stay clean and neatly dressed despite the lack of electricity or running water
3-In a scene we see the mother (Buddhist) rejecting religion as a system that imposes blind obedience, and I see no reason to mock religions, whatever they are, I feel that he is trying to deliver certain hidden messages.
4-The movie highlights how important it is to despise anyone who disagrees with you. In order to connect with nature, you have to make fun of what others think is sacred, and be sure to tell them how stupid and corrupt they are, especially Christians, even though I am not a Christian, I see no reason to belittle or offend them.

It seems that his goal was not to tell a convincing story, but to promote a particular social and political ideology while mocking its opponents.

I want to talk a little bit about the best movie of all time for me. You guys don't know how much I love this movie, this is my fifth time watching it and each time I watch it with more ion than the last.
This movie is not just a story about violence or madness, it's a sharp critique of consumer society, toxic masculinity, and the desire to rebel against artificial rules. "Fight Club is a way of escaping the feeling of being lost and searching for a true identity, and the behind-the-scenes footage alone makes you realize how great this movie is.
I discovered what the original meaning of a life-changing movie really is, and that's what fight club did for me,
It changed my perception of everything around me and myself and made me take effective steps towards change and development.
I don't consider it just a movie, it's like a friend who is a little older than you, who has experienced the horrors of life and has more experience And he gives it to you in practical ways that are free of all superficiality and kringe
A movie that if you strip it of all its deep philosophical meanings and look at it from another perspective, you will find it a very fun and understandable movie and the plot twist that will eventually make you love it even more
But if you analyze all the depth in it, you will find that the movie talks about you, me, and about most young people.
And the strange thing that I feel in this movie is that it is like the Mona Lisa, every time you look at it from one side, it looks back at you, so no matter what your mood, no matter what your circumstances, no matter how you look at the movie, it will send you messages, no matter how much time es, Fight Club will remain the best movie in history for me.

My favorite quotes from the movie

“Every evening I died, and every evening I was born again, resurrected”

"Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need."

"It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything."

"Stop trying to control everything and just let go. Let go!"

“We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.”

Wes Anderson proves once again that he is a master of detail. He uses the fixed camera, visual symmetry, and stark colors to create a world that feels more like a comic book than an actual reality. Every shot is carefully choreographed, like a painting, enhancing the sense of isolation and strangeness of the characters. He has a very specific and recognizable style of filmmaking that I love. He has an uncommon style of filmmaking that has remained consistent throughout his career. A very theatrical style.

Hidden Gem, what a great movie... This is a movie you don't want to miss...
The acting in the movie is excellent, especially by Peter Dinklage as Harvey, who brilliantly conveys the character's suffering. The character is devastated by his past, and yet, there is an element of hope in him as human relationships gradually begin to form in his life. The movie simply shows us how humans can find meaning in life by connecting with others, even in times of isolation.
The quiet nature of the movie makes it not for everyone, but those looking for cinema that focuses on psychological depth and human relationships will find something special in this work. The rural setting and landscapes add a special charm to the movie and help emphasize its themes of loneliness and connection.
All in all, The Station Agent is a contemplative movie, with touching moments of simple and honest life.

A beautiful movie and one of the classics that still retains its popularity many years after its release.
John Hughes, who is considered one of the legends of American cinema in the field of teen movies, presented the film in his distinctive style that focuses on the daily life of teenagers and the experiences they go through. The writing is smart and smooth, with dialog full of sarcasm and quirky situations that reflect Ferris' defiant and adventurous personality. We can't talk about Ferris Bueller's Day Off without mentioning its distinctive music, especially the great “Twist and Shout” song.
A movie about enjoying life and having the courage to challenge the daily routine. Although it reflects a specific time period, its ability to inspire viewers and evoke the spirit of adventure is still effective today.

The performances of the actors throughout the movie were amazing, especially Gregory Peck's performance, he is truly an amazing actor. Scout was so sweet in all her scenes and her performance was amazing and she was nominated for an Oscar for this role. It's a movie that you can watch over and over again without getting bored, the characters are well written and believable and the actors are very good. The dialog is well written and the script is excellent. A very memorable and beautiful movie that almost everyone should watch.
I recommend this movie to anyone who loves drama or loves art in general because it offers many emotional and touching lessons that are invaluable to those who are honest and perceptive and anyone who might enjoy it for one reason or another. Don't be intimidated by the fact that it's over sixty years old, or that it's in black and white; it's a great movie, and everyone will enjoy it.

One of the best western movie I've ever seen, I enjoyed the transformation of Clint Eastwood character throughout the movie. At first, he becomes a reluctant gunfighter, but as events unfold, we see how he slides down the slippery slope of evil to become the cold-blooded killer required for the job. An Eastwood masterpiece. A great acting performance by Gene Hackman, you can watch this movie ten times and you will find more emotions on another level.

I loved this movie, especially the acting, the music, and even the cinematography at times The story is very simple, yet complex at the same time, due to the many events. But the way it's told is beautiful and sad, I was really struck by its mature themes and touching characters. Mental illness, sexual abuse, drugs, alcohol... A truly beautiful and touching movie.

A beautiful and very touching movie The movie is strange and funny at times. The actors are all perfectly cast and the characters are all likable and memorable. It is also a very touching movie, sad at times; but always beautiful to watch, and wonderfully moving. The cinematography is superb and the soundtrack is just right. The script is great, and clever, too.

As usual, a masterpiece by the great actor and director Clint Eastwood, there is nothing more credible than Eastwood behind the camera, and his confident touch never makes his movies boring or confusing.
Angelina Jolie gives us a great performance throughout the movie and all the actors are great. All in all, it's a great and underrated movie.

One of the most underrated movies I've ever seen, even though I don't understand anything about baseball. But I loved this movie. Great acting performances from my favorite actor Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill and Philip Seymour Hoffman were great. All of the ing actors were perfect, the movie is inspiring, educational, fun, a great cast, and a tight script full of emotion with a comedic twist. It's strange that this movie doesn't have a higher rating on IMDB. One of the best sports movies I've ever seen.

One of the most boring and beautiful movies I've ever seen, I don't know how, but I enjoyed it and I was bored too, really enjoyed the aesthetics of this movie, but the content was a little hard to understand. The beginning was confusing, and it was hard to distinguish between the characters. The first fifty minutes was really a masterpiece but the movie got less and less interesting as time went on, especially the last twenty minutes were very boring. However, I liked the director's style, it was clear throughout the movie, I liked that he didn't show the wife's face or the husband's face, and the interesting camera angles that hid their appearance. I also enjoyed the great music used and its repetition in some scenes. Overall, I found the movie appealing to the eye, but I don't think I enjoyed the ending.

One of the strangest and greatest movies I've ever seen.
Persona may be Ingmar Bergman's most complex film, but like most of his films, it tells a seemingly simple story.
What really sets the movie apart are the performances of the two actresses. Andersson is responsible for almost all of the dialog, and her voice is one of the film's priceless treasures, while Ullmann is equally powerful in expressing hundreds of emotions through her face and eyes. Sven Nyqvist's camera, the third star of the movie, makes two stars shine brilliantly.
Suffice it to say that David Fincher was inspired by FIGHT CLUB, David Lynch's MULHOLLAND DRIVE, Robert Altman's 3 women, and many others.
A cinematic masterpiece from the great Ingmar Bergman.

a really good movie that I enjoyed, the movie had a distinctive touch that gave it character, Ben Affleck has a way of writing about life on the streets of Boston that captivates the viewer, you can see the ending very early in the movie, the actors' performances are good, especially Amy Ryan as the mother of her daughter who is at the center of this story. I think if it wasn't for her, this movie could have easily turned into a mediocre movie.

After watching the first episode, I can say that this series is very wonderful, but it is not for everyone because it is very slow and dramatic. This is not an exciting movie or a crime story, and if you are looking for mystery, this series is not yours. As for acting, my God, this young Owen Cooper, who embodies the character of Jimmy, is completely shining in this role, he is really amazing, Stephen Graham is amazing as usual, and he is another masterpiece of his works, I am very excited for the rest of the series.

Clint Eastwood is simply great both in front of and behind the camera.
The script is brilliant, and Clint Eastwood turned it into a great film, managing to evoke tension and feelings, as well as the inner struggle of the characters.
CLint Eastwoods performance was great, but everybody else was bad. From the Young preacher to the main Hmong characters the acting was forced and you could tell that all these people had never done a movie before.

This is my sixth time watching this movie masterpiece, and every time my love for this great film grows, and I know I'm sure in my words.
This is the best movie I've ever seen. David Fincher's masterpiece really gives us the chance of a lifetime, maybe we all don't want to share it, but by watching this film, you're going to experience a glimpse of the horrors that this world is filled with, and a little part of a man's mind that you don't meet unless you're prey to, a film that's presented to me as an all-rounder. I love sad or somewhat shocking endings, as I said this is my sixth time and I ire him every time I watch him.
Kevin Spacey's performance was spectacular as John Doe, where he perfectly embodied insanity. This was one of the greatest ing shows of all time. He only appeared in the film for half an hour. Brad Pitt gave a rather forced performance that added to the Hollywood effect of the film, although I didn't imagine anyone else for that role. Morgan Freeman played his role with utmost focus. All the time he needed a sad look on his face. He did just that.

Writing is unusual. The genius Andrew Kevin Walker took on an interesting theme and created an instant classic. But most of the credit goes to Fincher. Who took sides that you didn't even think about looking at and filming. Together they show a deep film on our screens that no one should miss. In one scene near
From the end, it makes it so that when a word is pronounced, we turn to a character where it gives us evidence of her fate. Feast of mind. One of the most creative scenarios of the 1990s. Fincher also knows exactly how to film. Whether it's using a fixed camera for slow and easy parts or a handheld camera for adrenaline-pumping scenes.

Cinematography is what makes this film excellent. It's all dark. The outside world is cruel, rough, cruel and brutal. He's just doing it. The impact it has is amazing and really works. The added evil music makes the heart beat all the time and makes the audience uncomfortable, in a good way. That's what the film is trying to achieve. The starting badge appears for the greatest part of the film I've ever seen. Stress makes you feel uncomfortable but you are eager to keep watching. Every scene, because of the effort in it, is brilliant and that's what makes the film great to watch and notice.

(Se7en) reveals the best glimpse we've seen of the annoying underworld. It's certainly the best movie I've ever seen and it always will.

"Ernest Hemingway once wrote, 'The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.' I agree with the second part."

I watched this movie last night and I have to say... It touched me in a way that no other movie did... Some scenes even made me cry because there is not a single scene that does not move my feelings. Also, this film is underappreciated, a film whose story is one of the stories that will leave a deep mark on you and will be a lesson and a sermon to others telling them that form has never been everything.
