Notes

Some Memorable Cinema: The Boy With Striped Pyjamas (2008), King's Speech (2010), K-Pax (2001)

The Boy With Striped Pyjamas (2008)

Director: Mark Herman

Cast: Asa Butterfield, Jack Scanlon, Vera Farmiga, David Thewlis

Genre: Drama, War

Plot: An emotional, heart-wrenching drama set in the Holocaust events of WWII. This brilliant movie shows "Death of innocence", literally.

A young German boy - Bruno (Asa Butterfield) befriends a new Jewish boy - Shmuel (Jack Scanlon), after Bruno's family relocates to an alternative place. Bruno's father (SS Commander) is in charge of the prison camp where Shmuel is detained together with his family being a prisoner.

This prison camp is in reality a Nazi Death Camp--a fact Commander has concealed from his wife and family. Commander's wife is devastated once truth dawns onto her.

Innocent Bruno isn't aware such a Death Camp is. For him all the prisoners in Striped pyjamas are participants inside a game. He visits the prison boundaries secretly and plays with Shmuel - that is equally unaware about realities. Bruno also convinces Shmuel it's all a game title plus they together plan to try to find Shmuel's missing father.

Back in your house Commander with his fantastic perturbed wife recognize that Bruno is missing. They track him right down to the Prison.

But now the Game might have gone a bit too far.

A movie that impacts your soul in-deep.

8/10

King's Speech (2010)

Director: Tom Hooper

Cast: Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter, Geoffrey Rush

Genre: Drama, Biography

Plot: Real life story of King George the VI with his fantastic battle with speech deformity.

Incredible performance from the whole cast. Especially, the chemistry between King George 'Bertie' (Colin Firth) and his ahead-of-time Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) is backbone from the movie.

The growth and development of friendship from a 'Royal' as well as a somewhat 'Rogue' has become captured immaculately, their ups and down, the Royal snob, common man's perseverance - to make sure perfection personified.

Indeed official site for cinema when it comes to direction.

8/10

K-Pax(2001)

Director: Iain Softley

Cast: Kevin Spacey,Jeff Bridges

Genre: Mystery, Drama

Plot: Prot (Kevin Sapcey) is a mental patient whom his psychiatrist Jeff Bridges efforts to help.Though it's possible to probably guess who helps whom but it's HOW you simply must watch K-Pax.

Somehow the title K-Pax is just not very attractive if you have not already seen the movie. It's only once you've seen it that you receive a grasp over the things--especially the title!

It is surely an emotional movie and also heart wrenching for someone a bit more sentimental.

"And even if you understand it won't happen you retain hoping it does-The Beam of Light." This sentence probably won't make for good business for you, if you have not seen the movie! But the whole movie revolves around this sentence.

As for me I wasn't even aware this movie features certainly one of my personal favorites - Kevin Spacey and another one whom I hold in high esteem as a possible actor - Jeff Bridges. Watch it for them.

8.2/10
