Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)
A MASTERFUL WAR SATIRE.
Once again the master Stanley Kubrick delights us with a film which, in my view, is one of the best in history as far as war films are concerned, not for the technologies present which, taking into account the age of the film, are not stunning, but the internal plan is brilliant. Taking the piss off the cold war blissfully while it is in full swing and with a nuclear threat in the background is not for everyone. The characters are masterfully directed and border on perfection; the general who launches an attack because he is a conspiracy theorist and paranoid, his ironic and realist English adjuvant, the other general present at the Pentagon in Washington, who is the clearest and clearest representation of the blind and snooty American pride typical of most part of the generation of adults of the time, conservatives and reactionaries, the Russian enemies of a lifetime and Doctor Strangelove, perhaps the character who, despite the few jokes he has, has the most impact for his ease in talking about mass destruction and order to repopulate the earth from below, meaning right under the ground, all this seasoned by his German nationality and his right arm still faithful to the Fürher and who tries to sabotage him as the doctor tries to contain this "professional deformation".
Kubrick in this film is like: "I MAKE A SATIRIC FILM ABOUT THE COLD WAR *Hoax that can potentially end badly*".
A phenomenon.
Into the Wild (2007)
Reflective and travelling film
The story and the protagonist of this film make the viewer reflect a lot because Chris, or rather Alex, wants to escape from a life and a world that was about to lead him to banality and ephemeral consumerism. The characters that our protagonist meets do nothing but enrich him and share with him the happiness, precisely that he will mark in his cloister in Alaska, which would be the allegory of all the sufferings and lies suffered by this young man. I very much appreciated the STREDHEN, Chris's tendency to infinity which, managing to overcome the natural sublime and thus to be free. Closing this little purely romantic parenthesis, the direction of Sean Penn is nothing short of excellent if not almost masterful, from the editing to the landscapes that makes us enjoy with all the calm of the world. It is a film that scores, I recommend it to anyone who wants to "aim for infinity (and beyond)".
Drive (2011)
The best Ryan Gosling's film
Beautiful story of this stuntman, whose name we don't even know, who sacrifices himself to save a family. In addition to the right atmospheres for the scenes, the inner contrast of the protagonist who cares a lot about Irene and little Benicio, saving them in any way possible, that is killing and all in a badass way in the ass, was beautiful.
The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun (2021)
The usual and unmistakable Wes Anderson
The French Dispatch is a Wes Anderson-style film, so to speak, very similar to his previous "masterpiece" entitled Grand Budapest Hotel, sharing many aspects in common. Starting from the visual peculiarities, the format adopted by the director is very unusual and particular in the film industry, namely the 4: 3, previously used in his previous GHB. The changes in color and, for small pieces of the film, in format, from shooting to animation, as we could also see in the first chapter of Tarantino's Kill Bill, are nothing short of excellent and really pleasing to the eye, perfectly in line with the stories . Always speaking on a visual level, the colors of the feature film, in the color sequences, are very bright and follow specific ranges so as to create a chromatic balance of the scenes that impresses the viewer. The 3 stories in an, obviously, excellent way with dialogues anything but banal making the film even more a peculiarity. The European vibes that the film gave me are very picturesque and close to art, vibes that fascinate me and therefore I they personally touched by good art lover. The cast choices are almost identical to those of GBH, with the addition of a good Timotheé Chalamét and a nothing short of excellent Benicio Del Toro, very convinced and credible like his colleague present in the same frequency as Adrien Brody.
In conclusion, The French Dispatch is a film that only those who love cinema or those who want to see something different and particular will appreciate, I highly recommend it, but, very personal opinion, before or after the vision of the latter, one should almost categorically see Grand Budapest Hotel to realize how Wes Anderson is as original as he is innovative and, pass me the term, even crazy.
Dramma della gelosia (tutti i particolari in cronaca) (1970)
When love blinds and becomes a reason for life
I would consider the film by maestro Ettore Scola a real "popular tragedy" because of its protagonists, namely: Oreste, a humble and mature mason, Adelaide, a young and charming flower girl, and Nello, a young and dynamic pizza maker; and of the setting from which these characters come, that is a frenetic and popular Rome taken by the communist fervor followed by the working masses who supported the PCI (Italian Communist Party). The actor's interpretations can in no way be criticized; Mastroianni won in 1970 a recognition at the Cannes Film Festival for this feature film, interpreting an apparently simple, rude and popular character, but who in the end will prove mentally unstable, like the good soul of Monica Vitti, who has recently, unfortunately, left us, does with the his Adelaide, perpetually motionless at the love crossroads, and Gianluca Giannini who plays the role of the young Tuscan pizza chef Nello very well, first friend of his adversary in love, then bitter enemy. The pathos is palpable in all three characters; Orestes, although he can be considered a rude or a Brutus, remains faithful to his beloved until the last moment by killing her, like herself, in a paranoid moment of a speech made in a pizzeria, where he met Nello, who, out of mad love, attempts suicide with rat poison. The most obvious pathos is obviously that of Adelaide, perpetually tormented by the choice and who even tries to commit suicide with gas, failing in her attempt to put an end to the pains of love. It is interesting how in less than two hours a story started from an end point was completely recovered thanks to the interventions of almost all the surrounding characters, who gave their own testimony of the story.
In short, a film of other times and which may seem too dispassionate, but a good film because it shows us the real Italy, the one that perhaps only our older uncles or, certainly, our grandparents have lived consciously, and also because stories are also popular ones and about love topics.
After Hours (1985)
REALLY FUNNY
They all talked to me very well about this film and many have recommended it to me as an ABSOLUTELY unmissable film.
Initially reading the plot I was not very interested because it deviated from the typical genre of Uncle Martin, that is the gangster movies or some Biopics, some of which I liked a lot and are among my favorite films; Goodfellas for one genre and The Wolf of Wall Street for the other, not even leaving out The Aviator, a film a little underestimated by critics according to myself. Leaving aside this little parenthesis regarding my personal tastes, this film must be seen EVERYTHING without distractions because it starts with a fairly quiet and usual situation, in which Paul, the protagonist of the grotesque story, meets a girl in a bar and wants to meet her. A series of events all densely and hilariously intertwined makes a night pass completely to forget for our poor protagonist who is a simple computer programmer who tries to move his social life for one evening.
It was a really hilarious vision also for the ending that doesn't make poor Paul go home, where he just wanted to rest for the bad night, but to work, returning to that boring tranquility that in the end was not so bad after this grotesque agony.
Obviously, as far as directing is concerned, I really have nothing to say and dear old Martin Scorsese has RE-confirmed himself once again with a film that at first glance would never have attracted me, surprising me and making me tear not a few smiles, a few laughs.
ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED and very smooth to view, with a very affordable duration below the average of Uncle Martin's films.
Goodfellas (1990)
MASTERPIECE!!!
This film is a masterpiece, everything is perfect,starting by the characters. This MASTERPIECE narrate the life an italian-irish gangster, who's Henry Hill, interpretated by Ray Liotta, in a very scientific and bloody way.Joe pesci is fantastic as alway,but the character of Tommy De Vito is so angry,sadistic and funny;"Funny How?" I literally LOVE also the character of James Conway, interpretated by the GOAT Robert De Niro, for the smoking scene; that scene is in my mind. Martin Scorsese is at his best,as always, he's the GOAT. The soundtrucks are FANTASTIC, in particular Sunshine of your love by the cream and the fantastic Eric Clapton in the smoking scene and Layla in the end.
This film has EVERYTHING, no words needs.
