Mr. Nobody week (post 2)

Nemo is a great character and I love seeing him at any age of his life. However, I must confess that I like him as the old and wrinkled man the best. He is so wise and full of energy, hyronically, full of life. I love the way he sees things and tells the story.
Here are some of my favorite scenes/moments in the film, which are mostly either when he is old or when he is very young. I believe these are the two faces of his life when he is wiser and comes up with interesting thoughts.


(Look at this cute little Nemo, he is adorable.)





Mr. Nobody week (post 1)

The love story of Anna and Nemo in this movie is wonderful. I got engaged with their feelings very early in the movie, it is so strong. I love every scene with them too, but here are shots of some of them.
I hope you all get to experience a love as strong as theirs at some point in your life.
I love these two together. You will see and judge by yourself.

Mr. Nobody

Welcome again people, to this week's exciting film!

Mr. Nobody is a mind blowing film. It plays with science, time and reality in an amazing way. I liked this movie a lot when I watched it, the idea of the story is great. It's one of those movies that you will want to watch twice to capture all the details in it, there is a lot of information (visual and auditory) going on all the time. Super interesting to watch!


Movie: Mr. Nobody
Year: 2009
Director: Jaco Van Dormael
Language: English
Running time: 141 min (2 hr 35 min)
Genre: Drama/Fantasy/Romance
Rating: R (I personally believe that it is okay for teens older than 15)

What is it about?
This movie is really hard to describe for me because there is so much happening in it. It is mainly a movie of decision, how a single decision can change the whole path of your life. There character, however, decides not to choose between two things and remains with open possibilities.

Why I recommend it:
Apart from the amazingly interesting plot and ideas it covers, it is super well done. The combination of film and special effects they applied transport you completely. Clarification: it is not an action movie, it's not that type of special effects. It is more about effects that create an environment.
What I definitely love the most is the love story in it, it seems so real! I developed an adoration towards the characters, in specific the two lovers (you will know which ones I mean when you watch it).
Fun Fact: Jared Leto is in it!
(The movie is on Netflix. Yay!)

I will keep posting through the week some pictures of my favorite scenes/moments/quotes in the movie, and any other thing about it I would like to share with you.

Hope you enjoy this amazing film as much as I have and leave me your comments about it!

Amélie week (post 3)

Last but not least for "Amélie' week," I have a cute list of the things Amélie Poulan enjoys doing the most:

1. Looking back at people's faces in a dark movie theatre room.


2. Noticing details in films that no one else sees.


3. Skipping stones.

4. Dipping fingers into a sack of grain.

5. Cracking the top layer of a crème brûlée.



6. Sweet revenge.


7. Hiding.


8. Asking herself silly questions.


9. Looking for shapes in the clouds.

10. Solving mysteries.


11. Romance.

For these and a lot more reasons I love Amélie. Such a wonderful character that has a little bit of everyone.


This has been all for this wonderful film. Check the blog for the next upload and I hope you enjoyed these last pictures.

Take care my bunnies (as Antonia asked me to say)!

Amélie week (post 2)


This movie has so many scenes/moments that I love that it has been hard for me to choose which ones to show. I looked at a bunch of images and I have decided to show you the following recopilation of images.




What I really like about the film is the lighting and color choice. Greens and reds are clearly predominant, followed by yellows, and some blues once in a while which create a huge contrast. It is such a magical and unreal world that I adore!


Something that got my attention is her apartment, it is all red! I love red, so this is fascinating for me.

Amélie week (post 1)


One of my favorite parts of the movie is definitely the beginning. With such awesome visuals, who wouldn't want to watch the titles? Seriously it is awesome.




This is me the other morning trying to be cool like Amélie Poulain... nope, not as nice as her.





Found this wonderful cartoon of the characters from the film!



Amélie

Hello, I have an exciting movie for you this week!

I chose one of my favorite films ever, it is definitely in my top 5. This movie is just perfect in all ways. The story, visuals, lighting, color, scenes, locations, events, dialogue, style, but what I like the most are the characters. This film has amazing characters! They are all different, interesting, and exotic. I can identify myself a lot in Amélie, the main character. She is sweet, curious and enjoys looking at little details. Details do matter! I am in love with this film and I know you will too.


Movie: Amélie
Year: 2001
Director: Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Language: French
Running time: 123 min (2 hr 3 min)
Genre: Romance/Comedy
Rating: R (I personally believe that it is okay for teens older than 15)

What is it about?
It is the story of a girl, Amélie, who enjoys of simple pleasures in life, like asking herself questions about the world. She finds a treasure and decides to help others. She looks for others to be happy, but doesn't satisfy her own happiness. She lives in her own magical world of fantasy, while she searches for love.

Why I recommend it:
This is a complicated story to talk about, since there are a lot of different things going on at the same time. It is a film that carries a lot of emotion. I love it. A lot.
It is a comedy and makes me laugh a lot, but at the same time it builds something deep in my heart. It is full of messages.
The cinematography is fabulous and every detail in the scenes matters. It is a movie of detail and I personally adore looking at them all!
Amélie is one of the best movies I have seen and probably will ever see.


Fun Fact: The soundtrack for this film is my favorite of all movie soundtracks. All of it is absolutely amazing.

(The movie is on Netflix. Yay!)



I will keep posting through the week some pictures of my favorite scenes/moments/quotes in the movie, and any other thing about it I would like to share with you.

Hope you enjoy this amazing film as much as I have and leave me your comments about it!
