Yes, a beautiful movie (visually none the least), but it has some problems too. Especially concerning the Latika and Samil characters.Originally Posted by Shoeberto
- I mean, what are Samil's reason for doing what he does?
- and, you don't really get a sense of who Latika is or why Jamal loves her so much (other than her beauty).
Still, it is a very good movie. India is a big part of that too.
Also, just saw La Mala Educación. Very good and sensual movie that constantly went in another direction than the one expected. It made me remember how much I like Almodovar.
Yeah, there's definitely some holes like that, but I think the simple beauty of the story allows for eschewing of those kinds of details.
Probably true. It is a wonderful story.Yeah, there's definitely some holes like that, but I think the simple beauty of the story allows for eschewing of those kinds of details.

I was enamored of this movie for the entire running length. A lot of people said the story was weak, and I guess it wasn't amazing, but it really complemented the visual effects well. The effects really have set a new bar for immersion in films, and I was happy that it was used for a lot more than just a gimmick. I didn't even notice the long running time because it drew me in so much.
I really think Avatar was successful in being a cinematic experience as opposed to just a film. I really hope this creates a trend for film makers.
A little late, but I finally watched The Princess and the Frog and was pleasantly surprised. Music was good, all the characters were awesome and the plot was not as predictable as I thought it would be. I only wish it was doing better in theaters cause I really miss when Disney did 2D animation instead of letting Pixar do everything and importing Miyazaki's works.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Not that importing Miyazaki is a bad thing.
I saw Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs today, rather against my will. The overall movie was pretty dumb, but there were some parts where I laughed a little, admittedly. I fell asleep near the end though. Maybe I was laughing because I'll laugh at anything when I'm sleepy.
Also, I just now watched The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, which I almost bought the DVD of today. Now I'm glad I used a different method to watch it, since I'll be getting the special edition instead of the standard edition, because it was fantastic.
Sherlock Holmes.
Good gods why did I pay?!
The Fountain.
Amazing.

I got teary when everyone was playing Country Roads :x very pretty~
That is one incredible film. Pretty much any passing reminder of Yoshifumi Kondo makes me teary.
Love love love that movie . . . but hate that song. I just watched The Cat Returns for the first time last month! Wonderful!
Hard to go wrong with Studio Ghibli, I remember seeing The Cats Returns in theaters when it came out in Japan. Unsubbed naturally but I was able to follow along anyway.
I just saw an online blog where they mentioned that Ponyo was in the five top grossing theatrical anime releases in the U.S.
Against my better judgement I went and saw Sherlock Holmes. I went in expecting changes from the source material and I went out of that movie thinking I spent my money rather well.
"It is a well-known fact that all heroes in all tales disliked vegetables as children.
Their legend begins with their overcoming of this weakness, and then continues with a journey filled with hardships.
That noble vegetable, the onion, lives on as a symbol of hardships overcome, and as the mark of a true hero."
