The Breakfast Club (1985)
Excellent piece - perennial classic
Youngs are just want to be loved and understood, nothing changed since 30 years ago, in 2016 the film has the same eternal meaning. The film perfectly shows the difference, the gap between the generations and the problems of the young people in their families.
John Bender's living in a dysfunctional family with a drunkard aggressive father, we can see that he is a traumatized youngster after he opened himself and told the others about his life at home where he doesn't get much love and tenderness. Andrew Clark and Brian Johnsons life is a disaster because their parents put too much burden on them, which they cannot bear. Claire Standish the spoiled prom queen seems the least overburdened between the others. Allison Reynolds the basket case definitely became ridden because her parents ignore her thats why she needs therapy.
Firs when we observe them we see just normal students who got into detention because they deserved it, at least we could draw the conclusion. After we got acquainted with their feelings, their actions and they said why they did those actions we came into the consequence they just suffer from lack of love, need each other to provide support and bolster their emotions. John Bender the criminal and the teacher Richard Vernons case is typically a bad example how bad teachers are ruining the education in the schools and corrupting the integrity of the problematic pupils. The Breakfast Club shows how adamant and strong the children can be and sometimes maybe they are so intransigent because their minds know what they do. These children cannot be vanquished, they can hold each other's back and can survive this life.
The Lobster (2015)
Wes Anderson style spiced with awe inspiring thriller
Don't misunderstand me, this film cant'be judged of ripping of Wes Anderson's directorial style. I haven't seen any other film from Yorgos Lanthimos so i can't evaluate his director's oeuvre. However I can state that this film was absolutely worth watching. Wonderful elements, exciting plot, the cast was very proper and British which I think it made the film more special.The director's work was immaculate. Those refined British humor was indispensable. With its upsetting story and shocking scenes, with its weird and pathetic dialogs this film is a unique one. A must see, a classic one. The final scene ends with a food for thought, which questioning the reality, the entity of the love and argue the boundaries of the love itself. Utterly splendid piece.
The Shannara Chronicles (2016)
Superficial emotions aka the failed dramatics
When writing the review one must not make that mistake to write about how disappointing the cast and the dialogue between the characters was. I was told this is a 'teenage television series' so I observed from that viewpoint. The acting of the actors is somewhere pathetic, of course it can attributed to the actors inexperience. So I must ask the question: Why is the target audience teenagers and youngsters? Couldn't it be more dramatic, obscure,dreadful.What is this some kind of The Vampire Diaries mixed with Once Upon a Time with a little Tolkien spice enrichment? Apart from not criticizing the genre the this pattern can be accepted and from the audience attuned.It is a good try blend the features in this TV show as the celtic fantasy with sci-fi fashion and a good transition between the old era into a new epoch (I cannot interpret the opening intro what the modern buildings and the USA map doing there). In the first two episode the soundtrack was really mediocre and sometimes nerve-racking like in a MMORPG. Concerning the works of the cameraman is splendid. The filters the landscapes, the effect leave no desires. Sometimes the actions of the characters are not lifelike and their emotions and the dramatic element must be the most important element of these show. I didn't get to know the heroes better, I can't feel too much empathy in their actions and their sentiment as I should. If it doesn't change, this show will not be memorable at all just a middling series for mediocre viewers.
Everest (2015)
More should have been brought out of it
Run-of-the-mill, definitely an average film. The soundtrack was utterly boring, Baltasar Kormákur could have utilized the script much more. Eventually it is a drama, terrible tragedies happened to the climbers.
The moment when they reached the summit of the everest in my opinion was too weak emotionally, not any dramatic catharsis nor emotive upheaval. I really missed these feelings. The memorable events and turning points was primitive and did not bring forth deep sentiment. For example when Scott Fischer died, not any portentous moment which caught me. The dead came and Fischer accepted it and fell into sleep, end of story. Naturally in case of Rob Hall(when he was dying) it was grandiose because Keira Knightley's acting was enthralling in that scene. Summarizing: Could have been a classic film if Terrence Malick would have directed it.
Banished (2015)
Not a historical drama, just a period drama
Apart from that, it is not a historical accurate drama, we don't have to write off this television serial. Don't wait from these show a correct picture of the Australian situation( late 18.century) and of the aboriginal people. It is a drama, slow actions, harsh emotion which must be processed.( and made for mostly for British, Irish viewers focused on definitely the connection between the convicts and the soldiers.) Concentrating on few characters, their developments, how their actions refine their personality. James Freeman what will happen to you? If there still would be a sequel, it would be really interesting, enjoyable to follow Freeman's life in the wilderness. But we will never see that.. Such a shame to have canceled this TV show.
War & Peace (2016)
Russian aristocracy vs the BBC period dramas
It could be really hard task to summon, evoke the atmosphere of the Russian nobility in 19. century. Unfortunately I feel, in this aspect this six-part adaptation will be insufficient. Where is the dramatic, vague sentiment this world symbolizes?
Apart from that, I think the casting is not so bad. Lily James as Natasha Rostova is a real beauty, and a wonderful actress.She characterizes the blissful, ignorant young woman really good.
Paul Dano as the main character can bring some valuable acting, which can elevate the dramatic element of this TV show but right now( after the first episode) I am just waiting. Though the characters are too one-sided, simple, their demeanor can be predictable. I hope Aneurin Barnard and James Norton with their skillful acting can make this show worthwhile.
Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)
There is nothing new under the sun
-SPOILER ALERT-
When I sat down in the fourth line of the movie theater I have got goosebumps as I was 12 years old when I first saw Episode II - Attack of the Clones in the cinema. When I saw the opening credits (in The Force Awakens) I noticed it was too simple and plain.. realized nothing epic can come out of it( of course there will be two more parts). I understand JJ Abrahams, that he want this film a classic one like the New Hope, with few sword-fights, with little characters and more emphasis on the two main characters. As I see their personalities became not as unfolded, unwrapped at the end of the film as i expected. Like i see Finn's personality can be a bit funny, little coward but when its about Rey his action showed him as a brave one. These traits can have a ludicrous impact on his character and the audience could take him as a funny guy at the expense of the dramatic quality of the film.(some terrible joke about whether Rey has a boyfriend was pathetic, and the Disney feeling was perceptible in the events when they escape from the monsters, or troops can perceive as a weak adventure film) At the contrary Rey has a strong character: dedicated, brave, susceptible, well-balanced(we can see already she will never convert to the dark side) and as we can see she can almost defeat Kylo Ren, a member of the Knights of Ren without any training. In my opinion it is ridiculous. So she is better than Anakin( or as my father used to call him'Anatan') because she is not emotionally unbalanced like Anakin, and can fight really good without any training (okay, must have really hight midi-chlorian) JJ Abrahams wants this girl as a perfect one. I don't know the stunt doubles need to make a really good job to make Reys actions, fights enjoyable. Reys personality traits are too masculine and I think women cannot identify themselves with her( of course it's a fantasy anything can be possible) because that's not how a woman fight and strive. If Rey will be the only Jedi, it will surely be dissatisfactory. Lets be hones , most fan of the Star Wars are mainly male, and they eagerly wait for the real deal: a potent knight who will be so powerful and undefeatable at the end. Good wars, fights, duels will be awaited, and it waits mostly for Rey to fulfill that wish. I am curious. JJ Abrahmas truly made a great leap into what....
