little miss sunshine | 2006

Resultat d'imatges de little miss sunshine

Little Miss Sunshine, the movie you could see a thousand times and still enjoy it. Surprisingly you see how the movie is going to be from the beginning but you stay watching it because it produces a lot of comedic scenes that catch your attention and that make the trip, in where the characters are involved, really funny.

It could be said there's a two journeys/trips in this film. The real trip to Los Angeles where Olive (Abigail Breslin) is going to participate in a Miss little Sunshine competition and also a journey of the characters as said before because they evolve in different ways without losing the things that define them. In this film everyone has a very remarked personality, one is a teenager who idolizes Nietzsche, a drug addict grandpa, a girl who is obsessed with winning a competition where she does not fit, a teacher who wanted to commit suicide, and the parents: one that is hysteric and the other who is obsessed with his theories.

All together create a magic combination that makes this film a very remarkable comedy for all ages because everyone enjoys the trip and the things that happen. It think, though, that the best thing is the end because you obviously see that Olive isn't the kind of girl identified with a beauty competition but finally she shows everyone how real life is and how the girls are being ridiculous.

guardians of the galaxy | 2014

The James Gunn film is set in a galaxy where the heroes haven't got the superhero profile. Peter Quill is a bounty hunt er that was taken away from his planet, the Earth, when he was just a boy. From his planet he only has a walkman with a cassette that has multiple songs.  It is noteworthy to say that the nostalgic songs and the reference to the movie Footloose (1984) where Kevin Bacon becomes a hero changing a situation by dancing makes this film different.  As said at the beginning, the characters have all a different profile that you wouldn't identify with a hero. They are selfish, they only look for themselves... When Peter steals something capable of destroying the galaxy from Ronan - the tyrant of the film  - Gamora (Zoe Saldana) has the duty to bring it back to Ronan, but she's planning her betrayal. Besides that, the Groot and Rocket want to capture Peter to earn money. This persecution finishes when they all go to jail and have to ally in order to get ...

girls | 2012 -

Lena Dunham's tv series Girls is widely known and has been critically acclaimed. It talks about girls, as the title says, but n ot in a typical way - like many tv series or movies that are just a collection of clichés. Showing part of her real life story, Dunham writes among with other people in some chapters about the life of four girls who have finished college, or are just going to, and that try to find their places in the world.  The protagonist, Hannah (Lena Dunham),  is a writer who either the "leader" of the group and the tv series. The good thing about this series is that in every single chapter there's time to laugh and be identified with the situations the girls live. You don't need to be their age to be identified, parents can see their daughters and sons here... and everybody can have fun while watching it because it is just a kind of an "animated with real people" book written by Hannah/Dunham that portrays some of the most common ...

begin again | 2014

If you like music, you'll like this film because it is a story about love for music, there's also time for other love, yes, but the main purpose of the film is showing the love people have for music and how this thing can help you overcome things and change your live. I've heard some critics say that this movie "has a soundtrack for every love story" and "a movie for those who live life as if it was a playlist" and I also would define it like this. If you don't like music, or it is not one of your most loved interests, this film makes you appreciate it. The places where the music is made captivate the viewer and the songs make you spend some good time watching the movie.  As for the story itself, the base, I wouldn't define it as groundbreaking story because if it wasn't for the music component, it could have been entertaining - because it is not a film about how a music star is born- but it wouldn't have been that good. As said...
