The Green Mile


Everything that happens on Mile remains on Mile. This is the law.

I've never compared the "Green Mile" with any other films. This picture stands for me separately from everyone. In these three hours of timing, so much sense and so much emotion is invested that you involuntarily marvel at the talent of Frank Darabont and Stephen King. This is one of the strongest dramas I've ever seen. It's hard to watch, because the film makes it possible to miss all the emotions of the characters through yourself. You seem to be standing next to the warders and be touched by this glorious little mouse, Mr. Jingle. You hate Percy with all your heart for his antics and wish him the worst punishment (by the way, a very colorful character, well played by Doug Hutchison). And, of course, John Coffey's story - a little strange, but kind and unselfish person, can not be forgotten.

I was shivering when I was shown execution in the electric chair. No murders and bloodshed in horror films can compare with these terrible scenes: so it was plausible. Surprisingly, touching scenes in the "Green Mile" are not inferior in quality to executions, whether scenes with healing heroes or with a mouse. It is hardly possible to recall such films that could accommodate such a wide range of emotions.

The main characters of this amazing story are also striking. They work in prison (not the most pleasant place, some causing instinctive fear), they execute people in the electric chair, and in fact their entire profession is associated with violence and cruelty. But they are very humane, open and kind people who go to the crime to save the woman and sincerely sympathize with John. Hence the moral - whatever happens, you need to remain a man.

"Green Mile" is a realistic drama with a deep meaning, despite the genre of "fantasy". The line between fantasy and reality is simply insignificant here. After all, we also often face injustice, with dishonest people and a false court. Even good people with a pure soul suffer. Even on them the misfortunes that they do not deserve. The idea is also that you can not judge people by their appearance. A strong and frightening giant can have a vulnerable and kind soul, and a small and inconspicuous person is dirty and deceitful. Is this fantastic? Is this fiction? It's just our life.

Each of us sooner or later will have to go through its green mile.

Good completion

I didn’t think that ten years after the release of the second part a new film is waiting for us - the completion of the trilogy about People in Black. And this completion, in my opinion, succeeded. From the very beginning of the film, you begin to feel some kind of nostalgia, it becomes pleasant that, despite the time between the pictures, the same actors play the characters, and while watching the second film for some reason this feeling did not arise, although the break was also considerable. But the main theme of the film, movement through time, still played a cruel joke with the concept of the film, because of which you can see a lot of contradictions and ridiculous mistakes. In my opinion, it is impossible to forgive it, but it is possible to explain, in order to facilitate viewing the picture yourself. In the film itself, in comparison with the past, they did not change anything with the characters and the “People in Black” themselves, which certainly pleases. At the expense o

Night of bloody madness

What you need to make a trash, but at the same time an interesting movie about vampires? Just invite as director Rodriguez, and as a screenwriter Tarantino. And what happens? It will turn out to be a real masterpiece, a film that, despite its simplicity, will be remembered for a long time. In principle, the plot here is not so much standard, as diverse and unexpected, for which Tarantino thanks. The two thugs, the Gekko Brothers, fleeing justice, take the priest and his family hostage and force them to cross them across the border into Mexico to a bar where they are supposed to be awaited by brothers. They manage to cross the border and get to the bar, but what awaits the heroes is not expected in a nightmare. The bar turns out to be a haven for bloodthirsty vampires who lure people like victims. The surviving heroes must survive for one night in order to survive, but how can they do this if they are waited by hordes of soulless bloodsuckers? It’s impossible to say at the beginn

So, "Van Helsing", USA, year 2004

Mystical crossover with a mixture of fantasy and action movie. A brief description of the plot: One of the elite knights of the secret order - Gabriel Van Helsing - arrives with a special task in Transylvania. At first, he perceives this as another simple task of destroying the next fiend, but he soon realizes that everything is much more complicated ... The idea of ​​combining the greatest geniuses and villains of the 19th century in one creation was conceived a long time ago, but they were only able to bring it on the screen in 2004. And not just anyone, but Stephen Sommers, who has proven himself to be such, if not masterpieces, but very good films like The Mummy, and The Mummy Returns. And this meant that we were waiting for a fascinating and sometimes funny plot, a brave and pretty pretty main character, his charming partner, and of course evil - all sorts of infernal creatures (which look very nice in the image of people), seeking to seize world domination a great ending -
