La Strada (1954)

La Strada (1954)
Another neo-realism masterpiece......many stated that this is the best Fellini.....well,i can't deny the magic and extreme cinematic maturity....and the outdoors magnificant scenes.....not to mention the circus acts.....but:
Althought the film intensifies many human emotions like:the wide contrast between Zambani and th...e rope walker.....the naive rural Masina.....the Children's laughs against the angry nun......the beauty of walking musicians who play for the road.......but i felt that there is too much ideas other than the main idea that lowered the voltage of it.......i will say:
a Masterpiece that is not for everyone......and i don't recommend to a non-Fellini.....
I know many will say you are ignorant...this is the best Fellini.......well,I-like Fellini-believe in no Idols or superior to criticism Biengs
The performance of masena is one of the best female roles i ever saw in my life

The God of small Things - Review

Ok....i was recommended this book by a friend....i put it in the back of mind for months then one day i was walking absent mindedly and found it there lying on the sidewalk with other books at a local second hand book vendor....i grabbed it....bought it...and didn't feel the urge to open,
then i began reading it one night after finishing my studying...atually i found her style very poetic...and the sculpting of her images is so strong that i could feel the heat...and rain in Ayemenem....i felt the sorrow and the pain of being a fatherless child...this power is actually what forced me to continue....in the middle i took it as a comedy....the style began to transfer the delicacy and subtle satire of childhood....this part was very colourful although the set-Rahel feeling sorry while remembering-was sad......in the last third of the book....Ray showed a well crafted talent...and proved herself a gifted author..by building up through the novel for what will happen....for making me remmeber all the laughs while the characters are being torn and tormented in front of me.....it felt like witnessing the massacre of someone i love....someone i actually know....and love,
a RECOMMENDATION!!!

Autumn Sonata - Ingmar Bergman

Another Swedish masterpiece for the one and only Ingmar Bergman.....i just wanted to freeze the goose bumbs i am having this moment with such a fine quotation:
"A mother and a daughter...what a terrible combination...of feelings...confusion...and destruction...everything is possible...and is done in the name of love and solicitude!!!"

Something about this film is not natural if i can say it.....the feelings each character is having is away different from the other....they all share the guilt of no man's mistake.....they refuse to believe that al what happened and is happening is life....is something magical....they all have mistakes...the daughter refuses to forgive....but she will....the mother is always homesick...however the only place that is sick is her own home.....this film is about us-humans-and how we make mistakes and refuse to face them and correct them.....and if anyone can do you right..definitely it's you....long live Bergman...
Autumn Sonata (1978)-Director Ingmar Bergman and Livv Ulmann
