The Dark Knight

The Dark KnightIn came the most expected movie of the year “The Dark Knight”, Christian Bale had come to the party one more time. Such a powerful actor of the current era, along with Heath Ledger it turned out to be a excellent combination. Such a wonderful plot turned out to be a classic in theaters. Watched it twice, but I am still not done. Amazing dialog and here are some of those which I really liked a lot.

– If you are good at something don’t do it for free.

– The darkest night came just before the dawn…

Enjoyed the movie to the core… and I really hope Batman will come back again from the dawn.

The Prestige

May 21, 2008 By: admin Category: Movies No Comments →

The Prestige - Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale both have their career as magicians and trying to outsmart the other by their own way. At one point of time Robert Angier (Jackman) gets bemused by the illusion magic show done by Alfred Borden (Bale). He then tries to run around Borden trying to find the secret behind the illusion. Angier getting desperate about the illusion magic moves to Colorado to meet Tesla and learn about the illusion magic. He in turn creates one illusion machine which runs on the basis of Physics law. Angier starts performing the real illusion with this machine which provokes Borden and tries to find out the mystery behind that plot. Climax is the ultimate part of the movie, I would not write anything about the climax here, just go ahead and watch it if you have not. One of the best classical movies which I have come across in quite some time.

Vita è bella, La

July 07, 2007 By: admin Category: Movies No Comments →

Vita è bella, La (Life Is Beautiful) - is one of the most touching movies I have come across. One of the wonderful work of Roberto Benigni (Guido Orefice), who portrayed himself as a nice and gentle down to earth kind of a person…. His love and affection towards his beloved wife (Dora) and his son (Giosué Orefice) is awesome. There was two scenes in the movie which really moved me off, so thought of putting it on my blog. People who have not seen this movie yet please do not read through the rest of the blog for I may break the plot of the movie.
Scene 1: “The part
of the movie where Dora will be checking the dress of the dead people” she will be very much hesitant to look into the bunch of dress lying over there, but still she would be watching here and there with a worried look in her face. That was a master piece in the movie. Her face would change when she hears the words of Guido and his son on the speaker phone….. Oh my God awesome. I could feel the joy just by looking at her face…..
Scene 2: “Final March by Guido” Once Guido is caught in the climax he will be still smiling knowing that he is about to die, just for the only reason that his son is watching him from the bin. What kind of a relation is this I really don’t understand, such love and affection towards his son wow …. well done Gudio.
Overall it was a fantastic movie and believe me I also watched the final list of names which comes after the movie gets over, I was not able to close the VLC player window and was still thinking about the sacrifice which Gudio did for his family…. Finally to hear that this movie was a part of his fathers life felt very much down and out….
No wonder it bagged best foreign language award, also Roberto Benigni won a personal award for himself for the best actor award…..
