Amazing movie they made in Hollywood.. For me - a new way to make cinema and to look on the past and future of the World with the eyes of a SuperHero - each one with their own story and motives but all fully built convincing characters that make you know SuperHeroes really exist.
What else can i say - real and lively atmosphere with amazing characters perfectly played by a myriad of actors and very very moving soundtrack!
I wish you pleasant watching and be prepared - this is a long duration movie
The story of a young director struggling to make his first film.
Yet behind this short and not revealing plot description, trust me, there is much much more than I had imagined until watching the movie. A lot of philosophical sense and metaphorical characters and scenes.
This is a film about the paradox that modernity thrusts upon us. And the the way we respond..
.. and a lot more, since this movie absolutely deserves the "Critics Award"
Activists arrive in Seattle, Washington en masse to protest a meeting of the World Trade Organization. Riots and chaos ensue as demonstrators successfully stop the WTO meetings.
Or said in other words a film about the "Modern Crusaders" of our days:
Don't look back The time has come All the pain turns into love We're not submissive, we're not aggressive But they think we can't defend Stand up, join us, modern crusaders alive We have the power to face the future Cause we are the fighters Just fighting for our rights...
This film, resembling also a documentary is inspired by real events.
Plot: A fisherman, a smuggler, and a syndicate of businessmen match wits over the possession of a priceless diamond.
Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio): Sometimes I wonder if God would ever forgive us what we have done to each other. And then I look around and I realize God left this place long time ago.
Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou) I understand white people want our diamonds from us but how can my own people do this to each other?
In January 2003, forty nations signed "The Kimberly Process" -- an effort to stem the flow of conflict diamonds.
But illegal diamonds are still finding their way to market. It is up to the consumer to insist that a diamond is a conflict-free.
"Män som hatar kvinnor" (Swedish for "Men who hate women," renamed in the English translation as The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) is an award-winning novel by the late Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson, the first in his "Millennium Trilogy".
A middle-aged journalist, Mikael Blomkvist, publishes the magazine Millennium in Stockholm. He is hired one day by Henrik Vanger, the aged former CEO of a group of companies owned by a wealthy dynasty, in order to chronicle the family history. His real mission, however, is to solve a cold case - the disappearance, some forty years previously, of Vanger's great-niece when she was sixteen...
I'd just add this is one of the most thrilling crime movies, another marvel of the Scandinavian Cinema productions
In the early 1950's, the threat of Communism created an air of paranoia in the United States and exploiting those fears was Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin. However, CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow and his producer Fred W. Friendly decided to take a stand and challenge McCarthy and expose him for the fear monger he was.
