Is There a Moral in Gone Girl?
Gone Girl is really a Basic Instinct for the 2010s, with the cocaine and bisexuality replaced by the even trendier point of intrigue for the audience: false allegations of sexual assault. Both movies end in the same way, with the couple uneasily moving toward a domestic future that involves having children together. Continue reading
Why do some people find American Beauty disturbing?
American Beauty is the first Sam Menders’ feature film that focuses on such ideas as love (paternal and romantic), beauty, materialism and sexuality. It shows all the problems which Lester Burnham faces (Kevin Spacey). Lester is a 42 years old man, who is afraid to become older. His wife Caroline (Annette Bening) ignores him and his daughter Jane (Thora Birch) doesn’t love him. They think Lester is a chronic loser. “I’ll be dead in a year,” – his constant thought at the beginning of the movie.
Ridley Scott’s latest film, The Martian, is being hailed as an exciting new film about the possibilities of man’s future in space. Starring Matt Damon as an astronaut stranded on Mars, The Martian is a film that everyone should see. It serves to remind people, Americans in particular, that we used to look up at the stars and dream of exploration. When America landed on the moon in 1969, it was a moment that united humanity. Abandoning that mission has only left us fragmented.

How many comedy movies have you watched? Okay, and how many of them would you like to watch again? And again? To me, 90% of modern comedies are possible to watch only once – and sometimes it’s better to not watch them at all. Jokes in such comedies are mostly based on sex or some stupid actions (or both), and I can hardly imagine that someone would laugh at them twice.
However, there are comedy movies that make you want to return to them; such movies are usually based on what some might call, “the absurdity of life,” but I would rather say, “life in its fullness and diversity.” And, in my opinion, one of the directors who has mastered this approach is Wes Anderson, with his recent The Grand Budapest Hotel.
