in spite of its extraordinary power, the film was denounced by cuban authorities as counterrevolutionary and — in a fit of revolutionary bitchiness — informally dubbed “i am not cuba”! the kind of “pure art” approach represented by the film has always been problematic to the marxist mentality, but i am cuba is truly revolutionary in every sense .

the soundtrack of i am cuba features a female narrator who ties together the episodes with yevtushenko’s poetry, which plays on cuba’s split identity: “don’t avert your eyes. look! i am cuba. for you, i am the casino, the bar, hotels and brothels. but the hands of these children and old people are also me. ” the music in the film continues this motif; peasant folk tunes and african rhythms compete with raucous early ‘60s rock tunes, “exotic” jazz, and nightclub ballads (“amor loca”) .
tarantino worked on a world war ii script during this period. the screenplay
became big and sprawling. it was some of the best stuff i & apos; ve ever written, but at a certain point, i thought, & apos; am i writing a script or am i writing a novel? & apos; i basically ended up writing three world war ii scripts. none of them had an ending ,

jackie chan' s who am i ?
is a great jackie chan action movie. parts of it such as when jackie is trying to help a man cure a snake bite and he chews up a plant that makes his mouth numb, are funny. other parts of the movie such as when jackie makes his first escape from his enemies from the top of a tall building, the fighting scenes, and the car escape sequence are nonstop and edge of the seat action .

well, being a longtime fan of the godzilla / gojira films as a youngster, i remember seeing this with great anticipation. i, unlike a lot of people, was not at all disappointed. this film was exactly what i was hoping it would be at the time. sure, it certainly wasn' t as charming or as funny as the films i loved as a kid, but it was a lot of fun. i loved the action scenes, the look of the monster was crazy to me, and the plot was simple enough for a first time viewer to get right into. seeing it again 10 years later, i had the same reaction. my opinion of this film hasn' t changed one bit. i guess everybody' s complaints stem from how this has no charm or any kind of attempt at being cute or original. i guess that' s understandable, but i still don' t see what everybody' s problem is. this was supposed to be a fun, exciting, and action packed thrill ride. that' s all it is, no more, no less. i personally think that it succeeds at what it achieved to be perfectly. matthew broderick may not exactly be an action hero, but his character sure was quirky and funny. jean reno was as good as usual .

since the ocular surface sensitivity is reduced in advanced ocular surface disease (adatia et al 2004), and the tests currently used are far from being perfect, these are poorly associated with subjective symptoms (bjerrum 1996; schein et al 1997; hai et al 1998; pflugfelder et al 1998; nichols, nichols, et al 2004; lin et al 2005) .
this is one of the best movies i' ve ever seen, but i would hesitate to recommend it to people whom i don' t know pretty well. it explores aspects of life and living (and suffering) that most films avoid or actively deny. and it does so brilliantly. the characters are vividly real, and there is such a strong sense of situations unfolding in real time that it' s truly mesmerising. i felt like a fly on the wall, eavesdropping on conversations i could never hear otherwise. i think many people would absolutely hate this movie, partly because it doesn' t pass judgement on behaviours that are repulsive to the bulk of humanity, and partly because it exposes us to them at all .

and we showed scenes of the anti - war movement, and one of the veterans, nguyen ngoc, said, “when i first watched the film, it gave me much greater respect for americans. i came to understand so much more about just how conflicted and how traumatized the united states is by this war. i used to ask myself, ‘how come the united states after 40 years still can’t get over the vietnam war? ’ i considered it a weakness. actually now, having seen this film, i believe that the way in which the united states hasn’t ever really been able to leave the vietnam war behind is actually a great strength. it’s a nation that’s always asking itself about its own history, questioning its past and asking questions about what it’s done and why it did it. ”
the unforgettable images of the old man cutting what appears to be luminous sugar cane against a black sky point up another of i am cuba ’s breakthroughs — the use of infrared film to obtain jaw - dropping levels of black - and - white contrast. these shots, featuring ordinary people played by amateur actors, emphasize the dazzling primacy of the land over those who briefly inhabit it, and reflect the filmmakers’ idea that complex characterization must be subjugated to the struggle by “real people” to maintain the land against corrupt influences .
kollywood actor ajith kumar, popularly known as thala ajith made his first film debut in a minor role in the 1990 tamil film en veedu en kanavar. however, his professional career began in 1993 through the telugu film prema pusthakam. ajith made his major tamil cinema debut through amaravathi in which he played the lead role. the film turned as an average movie at the box office .

this unforgettable reconstruction of the life of the island, from the jazzy rhythms of the decadent batista era to the heroics of the revolution and its aftermath, recalls the work of leni riefenstahl and eisenstein in its transformation of agitprop into art. the eisenstein connection is no accident — the russian team that created i am cuba were attempting the same kind of aesthetic treatment of history as eisenstein, and they worked with some of his collaborators. but the filmmakers of i am cuba differed from their mentors in perhaps the most fundamental aspect — the visual. whereas eisenstein used cutting and dynamic composition in films like potemkin, kalatozov and his visual collaborators use a moving camera — a handheld eclair — to bring their story to scintillating life .

from my list of favorites i' d also say it has aspects of marathon man, the fugitive, and the firm. will smith, whose work does not thrill me 100% of the time, is terrific, and gene hackman could not have been better. they also receive support from some great character actors, many of them uncredited (a fact which blew me away). my enjoyment was enhanced by being familiar with hackman' s the conversation, in which he plays harry caul, one of the world' s greatest audio surveillance men. his hideout / office in enemy is reminiscent of caul' s digs, and the photograph which the bad guys have on file for him is of his character from the conversation. i sort of wish they' d named the new character caul, giving long - term continuity to the story. i' m running off at the fingers here, so i won' t elaborate on the location, direction, etcetera, but will end with see this film !

the one whose acting sucks. i tried not to take it personally, but it was personal. it was not about the play—it was about me, and at a certain point i started getting too thin a skin about the constant criticism .

what we get, finally, is a series of well - drawn sketches and powerful scenes, in search of an organizing principle. the movie needs sweep where it only has plot. and norton, effective as he is, comes across more as a bright kid with bad ideas than as a racist burning with hate. (i am reminded of tim roth' s truly satanic skinhead in “made in britain, ” a 1982 film by alan clarke .) kaye wanted to have his name removed as the film' s director, arguing that the film needed more work and that norton re - edited some sequences. we will probably never know the truth behind the controversy. my guess is that the post - production repairs were inspired by a screenplay that attempted to cover too much ground in too little time and yet hastens to a conventional conclusion .

i am really confused as to why
sphere
has the reputation it has. sure, it' s narrative can get clunky but the film has some intriguing ideas. dustin hoffman, sharon stone, samuel l. jackson, liev schreiber and peter coyote are all good here and the visuals and atmosphere are essentially claustrophobic and creepy .
sphere
is no where near grade - a filmmaking but it' s consistently interesting and gripping. if you are looking for science - fiction pulp of higher caliber you really can' t go wrong with
sphere
... or maybe you can judging from the critics ...
ln: it was really the same process in vietnam as it was here—i wouldn’t differentiate that much between people’s reluctance or enthusiasm about doing this. a lot of it is just connecting with someone and doing your homework, knowing a lot about them and their experience and whatever the environment that they were living in that you’re interesting in talking about. the people we talked to in vietnam were not reluctant. i guess that’s the best way to say it, or they wouldn’t have talked to us. they seemed extremely open to the idea. the only reason we were surprised was because we had no idea what to expect. we were surprised to find how open people were to talk about such a painful subject: just the scale of tragedy there, how many people were killed, how small of a country it is, how everybody was affected, the real horrors of the war. if i’d gone through something like that, i’m not sure i’d be able to talk about it.
