After a stint in a mental institution, former teacher Pat Solitano moves back in with his parents and tries to reconcile with his ex-wife. Things get more challenging when Pat meets Tiffany, a mysterious girl with problems of her own. Went to watch this because my amazing sister won the tickets on this random site (which I was dying to see in the first place). Ok, let me just say I fucking loved it. JLaw (Jennifer Lawrence) I love you! You were amazing, every aspect of you in the film was pure and natural. I respected her character so much because when you watch it, her character gives you an insight and feeling that you really shouldn't give a shit what people think about you. Bradley Cooper did an amazing job in this film too! I actually don't like him, I get sick of seeing at his face all the time but I had to forget about it or I'd just ruin the movie for myself. But really, his character was mental (obviously), funny and quite charming it was good to see these two actors together because their chemistry was different from other actors. You kind of have to understand the little things in this film to understand the plot but it's easy to catch on and if it doesn't get to you straight away you'll get the whole picture after the movie. The scenes in this film were great, it's was always climaxing and it kept climaxing.Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver play Bradley Cooper's parents in the film. They're so cute and natural, I just wanted to give Jacki a hug! I love them so much, they aren't faking anything, it's what you would expect from such great actors portraying graceful ageing parents. The whole cast is actually like this big family going through the same shit and I absolutely love it! Bradley and Jennifer's characters in this film are quite the same but different, they connect in a way where if this was real life you would think they were nuts but it's a beautiful connection. The plot always has to speak through the actors and it was well done. We see so many levels of real life scenarios in this film but they aren't really announced and if you see them you keep it to yourself and your having your own little moment.Their relationship is something I adore and quite relate-able to people who feel they can't have the person they have feelings for. This movie reminds me of how we all have our breakdowns and your sick of keeping it bottled inside, you scream it out and there's someone there to scream with you, the craziness is intense but it feels good. Sometimes I want to fucking scream too and that's why I loved this movie, because I felt like I was screaming along with them but really I was only watching, (it's not like I could scream, would have gotten kicked out of the cinema) What audience would you recommend this to? Seriously but I would recommend this to people who feel like they can't relate to their peers or crowds. *people who feel like shit* ✯✯✯✯/5 stars
The lives of guards on Death Row are affected by one of their charges: a black man accused of child murder and rape, yet who has a mysterious gift.
Emotional and intense. This film wouldn't be one without the amazing Michael Clarke Duncan. He was a pure soul in this film the role was meant for him, he truly is a "Gentle giant". The story itself is remarkable, all the actors in this film did extremely well. This movie struck me emotionally because Michael Clarke Duncan did such a beautiful job in this film yet I still can't believe he's not alive. (Rest in peace)
I love that most of the plot going on in this movie is in the prison cells, it shows us the relationships between each characters, they only have each other to keep company. I love that Michael's character could heal people in the most weirdest ways. Its quite amusing that he heals one of the officers genitals, what a weird and amazing thing. I could go on about the plot forever because it's amazing but I won't! This movie definitely touches your soft spot and it doesn't let you go until the credits roll up. This movie isn't a disappointment! What audience would you recommend this to? 15 and over ✯✯✯✯/5
Ryan Gosling portrays a quiet man who drives for a living. Whether he's driving for stunts or ex cons, he delivers a remarkable performance in this Vice Citylike movie. I can easily say this is a master piece not because Ryan Gosling's in it (well partially) but the whole thing itself is a great film.This is the type of movie I would LOVE to be apart of, I mean when you finish watching it you want more and you wish it wasn't over. One of the songs in the beginning called Nightcall by Kavinsky is playing while Gosling drives through the city at night, that part is my favourite. Driving through the city at night when the roads are empty while Kavinsky is playing is just brilliant. I couldn't stop smiling at myself because the beginning was everything I liked (the 80's music, gangster theme). The quality in this movie was outstanding too, if the car made the slightest bump on the road we would feel it. Gosling's character was nicely played, I liked his quietness it made him mysterious and that was quite attractive. The relationship between him and Carey Mulliganin this film was heart warming. Another thing I love about this movie was at the beginning how they pass each other, she acknowledges him but he doesn't look at her and you feel that slight tension. It's quite similar to walking past a really good looking person and they don't look at you but they know your there and when you walk past each other it's silent. I can say some of the violence in this film was pretty gross, but it reminded me of Vice City! Actually, the whole movie reminded me of Vice City and I love Vice City! The only thing I wish that was different about this movie was the ending (you'll know what I'm talking about if you've watched it). What audience would you recommend this to? 15 and over ✯✯✯✯/5
