The Green Mile (1999) Movie Reviews.

Teenage melodramas have always been in demand by our younger generation. After all, there are raised such topical issues as the first experience in sex, smoking, the formation of a personality by entering into society and its direct influence on a person. At first, Stephen Chbosky’s film “It's good to be quiet” seems to us not in the light of a light melodrama, but a film that touches on a bit more problems than the difficult age of adolescents. The director shows us how much our past and our experience influence the creation of relationships in general. How hard it is to be a completely “special” child in cruel realities, when your subconscious mind builds your defense, and reality destroys it. Also something completely new is created naturally, not like the past, which leads you to the best. This film is a modernized and matured version of snotty-tearful teenage melodramas.

English cinema is as ambiguous and original and also has its own style and characteristics, as well as the film “This is England”, which appeared on the screens in 2006 and became one of the most discussed in Albion, but it was also discussed. so scandalous.

This is no longer childish pranks, Schoen gradually becomes the same racist as Combo. But one day trouble happens ... Like all films with the skinhead-headed story “This is England” is anti-fascist and in...

Naturally, everyone will compare this film with District N9. And correctly, besides the director, these films have a lot in common! In conversations with friends, I even inadvertently called it a continuation of the District. The style is sustained, the film just moved from the modern Johannesburg to Los Angeles of the future. The technologies seem to be taken from the Area, but they have become much more juicy (the budget has grown threefold). Drama has become less, but I still let out a tear. Yes, the District had its own peculiarity with pseudo-documentaryism, but the second time it would not have hooked (and it would not look so harmonious in the world of the future). Perhaps Elysium has flaws (cliché in places, indestructibility of characters, similar fates of Max Da Costa’s heroes and Vikus van de Merve from area N9), but I didn’t pay attention to them on the background of modern sci-fi movies, because they are not even worthy consideration. Nowhere can you find so realistic...
