Favorite Movies

To be honest, I haven't really seen that many movies in my time. Haven't seen Forest Gump, haven't seen 2001, Haven't even seen 300. Of what I have seen, though, there were some true jewels that I feel the need to share. So here I go.

 

As you should know by now, I REALLY like to break things up. I'm far too weak a writer to tackle one big glob of information, so I'll split it up into four categories: Acting, visuals, plot, and a conclusion.

 

Here I go. My top three movies of all time.

 

3. Good Will Hunting: Good Will Hunting is about a guy named Will Hunting that's basically a super genius. Incredibly intelligent, arguably the most intelligent you can make a character without making it unrealistic. He's very troubled emotionally, and the movie is about his search, for peace, a woman, and apparently, the fact that it's not his fault.

 

Acting: Acting is fantastic in this movie. All characters, especially Will, give a fantastically believable performance that conveys the complicated and strong emotions of this movie very well.

Visuals: This movie doesn't focus on visuals at all. There aren't any complicated shots or special effects, unlike my other two movies.

 

Plot: Here's where this movie really scores. The plot is simply amazing. Absolutely perfectly accomplishing its goals.

 

Conclusion: Good Will Hunting is a fantastic movie. It stays serious but relaxed during the whole running, and is a fantastic third place movie. This would be a good time to mention that, if you haven't seen these movies, see them.

 

Next up, Fight Club, a movie not so much about a fight club, surprisingly. It's an action/drama that explores very root parts of life.

 

Acting: Acting actually leaves something to be desired. The main few characters act almost surrealistically, and it's too hard to believe. I guess the entire movie is like that.

 

Visuals: Much like the acting, the visuals are very surrealistic, but well done in general. There are some amazing shots of Marla done by what I believe is the best 3D rendering I've ever seen.

 

Plot: Wow. Just wow. This is one of the movies where you will never expect what comes next. Never. You'll be totally surprised throughout the entire movie, an especially at the end. This isn't to say that it's unrealistic, which it kind of is, but it's simply brilliant.

Conclusion: Fight Club is another fantastic movie to watch. I may want to note that, this isn't a movie you watch with your mom. Maybe dad, if he's cool and doesn't mind a few shots of tits.

 

Final Movie: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. This movie is a cult classic, and I've only met one person who's seen it, but we both agree that it's the best movie we've ever seen. It stands alone in a world by itself, in a whole nother realm of entertainment.

 

Acting. Absolutely perfect. Acting in this movie is like I've never seen before. It's one of those rare movies where it's unbelievably real. The small imperfections they add make it perfect.

Visuals: The visuals are beautifully done. The entire movie is filled with amazing color schemes, impressive camera work, and well placed special effects. Beautiful stuff.

 

Plot: I don't really know how to describe this in words. It's like trying to tell someone about a song that perfectly encapsulates what its trying to say, with brilliant riffs, invoking emotion and memories at every beat. Eternal Sunshine is like that. It's a complete roller coaster, and by the end, you have so much of yourself put into the movie, that you would be completely crushed if… well, I'm not going to spoil it, but the bottom line is that it's amazing.

Conclusion: My final say is that Eternal Sunshine is an amazing movie. End of story. See it. Now. Do it.
