The Big Sleep: This movie has an unique cool sultry mood, witty dialogs and chemistry between the two leads, but the plot is contrived and impossible to understand. The screenplay is very bad: the plot is too complicated and the pace is all wrong. The dialogs are witty and full of innuedo, though not some of the best I've seen.The direction and cinematography are very good, giving this film a uniqe mood. The acting is fine by the two leads, who play their usual roles without much brilliance. I don't understand why this has become a classic.
Girl, Interrupted: This is a decent adaptation and a very good movie. The screenplay keeps close to the book during the first half, and then differs from it (that's the weakest part, because it feels a bit forced). The narration is flawed, but the dialogs are excellent, the characters are human and beautiful and some scenes are incredibly touching.. The acting is really impressive. Winona Ryder is unforgettable, with her expressive eyes capturing her character and a perfect delivery of the dialog getting you to understand Susanna. The supporting actresses are also excellent: Angelina Jolie shows her acting chops keeping her character believable and having some really standout scenes and Brittany Murphy lets the wounds of her character be seen using subtle, effective acting. The music and grim cinematography work her. This is a good movie with really great acting.
Good Bye Lenin!: This is a sophisticated comedy/ touching drama. The screenplay is very good: it's an original story with interesting themes, honest emotions, witty dialogs and full-fleshed characters. The acting is very good: Daniel Bruhl gives a strong performance, capturing is character's mixed feelings and utopia, and Katrin Sass uses her expressive eyes to show her character's difficult emotions. All the supporting cas is also good. The direction is simple but it has some very good shots that are able to capture the whole scene unforgettably. The piano soundtrack is fitting and remarkable and the cinematography is also beautiful. One of the flaws of this movie is the narration, which is redundant and over-done. Even so, this is a very enjoyable film with a thought-provoking subject.
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind: I LOVED this movie. It's an honest, thought-provoking portrayal of love, human relationships, feelings and memory. The screenplay is amazing: realistic feelings are involved in a wild story that explores the leading character's mind perfectly. The characters are fascinating and human and the dialog is witty and believable. The acting is inspiring: Kate Winslet delivers a unique performance that has become one of my favorites: her character could have become ridiculously over the top, but she's able to make her charismatic and extroverted while expressing emotions rawly and delivering her lines unforgettably. Jim Carrey plays a very different role from his usual greatly and the two leads have pure chemistry. Kirsten Dunst also delivers a very convincing performance. The direction and editing are very inventive and creative, making the movie dizzy, romantic and intelligent. The music is brilliant: Jon Brion's soundtrack is a knock-out and Beck's theme is nostalgically fitting. In the end, it's "just" a beautiful love story, extremely well-told and original.
