The Green Mile (1999) Movie Reviews.

You just have to go to this movie. Do not expect anything from him, because you will see quite what you most likely expected. The film is very cruel, dark and gloomy, but so real and beautiful that you immerse yourself in this film. Someone may say that he is tightened, but I looked at him in one breath, clenching my palms in a fist, I was worried about Hugh Glass - DiCaprio throughout the entire tape. One feels that this film was shot by Alejandro González Inarritu. Very long doubles that are difficult to remove in such conditions, for that you respect the entire composition of this picture. Wide panoramic views of nature, which show how beautiful our nature is, and how cruel people are. This picture will not leave you indifferent, although the plot is quite simple, the whole point of the film is certainly not in it, but in the actors who played just flawlessly in nature that is incredibly beautiful and at the same time cruel, and of course in the very atmosphere that we gave...

There is no other way to say - really great Russian epic. The grand picture, still capable of giving odds to any modern military films. Without heresy, without nonsense, but honestly and sincerely. Soviet cinema is in many ways innovative. We were the first to discover the genre of poetic cinema (“Earth” by Alexander Dovzhenko), we were the first to create a genre of film epoch. And a lot more. An epic film was created by an absolutely amazing person - Sergei Eisenstein. His film “The Battleship Potemkin” became the first in this genre. And we should not forget about the great achievements of our directors, should not forget about our contribution to the history of world cinema. Eisenstein shoots the film "Alexander Nevsky" in 1938. At that time, there were a lot of films in which the plot was built as follows: a certain enemy attacks the USSR (speaking German, wearing a uniform that is very similar to the uniform of SS soldiers). This enemy is quickly destroyed by Sov...

As Varlam Shalamov wrote to Solzhenitsyn, “they would eat a cat.” So here - all the attention to the essence of the relationship, and not to their formal manifestations. No need to stare at the lush rituals. There is no sense in them. In affairs are learned. As well as real men - they don’t dare to ask, but they are ready to risk everything, for the sake of anyone, even the most illusive opportunity to save his family from hunger. And all the historical and samurai subtexts - no more than entourage, decoration. Due to this circumstance, the film turns out to be much deeper than the national cultural paradigm and makes every viewer, regardless of his origin, race or religion, think about issues such as hunger, responsibility to the family, responsibility and mercy. And now, the most important advantage of the film is the possibility of such a reflection for the viewer. You can probably retell the plot and focus on masterfully thought over arrhythmia (a boring beginning and a brilli...

Of course, one person is unlikely to be able to influence any global events such as wars and conflicts of various kinds: civil, interethnic, interracial, inter-ethnic. And sitting back, drinking tea and staying inactive, too, the trouble does not help. But you can stand up, gather people, unite for a good purpose and act. And yet it happens that one soldier in the field. One person does more than the crowd. As an example, the hero of the film, Paul Ruesabagin, is not a great figure, but only the manager of a hotel. During the inter-ethnic conflict in Rwanda, he shelters refugees in a hotel. Of course, Paul protects people with his bare hands, all legal means available to him are not always used: communications, bribery, flattery, lies, threats, cunning, etc. But this is not important, because hundreds of people are at stake. It is important that this really happens in the real world, which survived two world wars, which brought a huge amount of horror, cruelty and violence. There ...

Now the word "freedom" is so firmly entrenched in the minds of humanity that hearing the phrase: "You are dependent, you are not free" - sounds like a direct insult, despite the fact that everyone puts something into this concept. But did people think that in the 13th century? The film clearly shows the separation of society, the privileges of one over the other, and how each of them thinks and perceives reality. The protagonist William Wallace (Mel Gibson) is a barbarian, a commoner, early loses his father and brother, remains alone with his uncle Uncle Argil, who later gives him a good European education. Returns to his homeland, he is already in adulthood, is going to lead a peaceful life, grow crops, avoid trouble, wants to settle down, start a family and children. Here he meets a girl from his childhood - Maron (Mhayri Calvi), whom he immediately falls in love with. It seems that his dreams are about to begin to materialize ... But in the end everything ...
