アランドロンの太陽がいっぱい、クライマックスが強烈!what a surprising ending in the movie purple noon!

Short plot:
Tom Ripley (Delon) has been sent to Italy to persuade his wealthy friend, Philippe Greenleaf (Maurice Ronet), to return to the United States and take over his father's business. Philippe intends to do no such thing, however, and the impoverished(貧しい) Tom enjoys living a life of luxury, so the two men essentially spend money all day and carouse(大酒盛り) all night. Tom is fixated(凝視、注意を引く) on Philippe and his girlfriend Marge (Marie Laforêt), and covets(欲しがる) the other man's life. The spoiled(わがまま、甘やかされた), arrogant(傲慢な) Philippe eventually grows bored with his friend's fawning(へつらう) and becomes cruel and abusive(罵倒、虐待) to him. The final straw(きっかけとなる出来事) is when, during a yachting trip, Philippe strands(取り残す) Tom in the dinghy(ボート、ヨット) and leaves him to lie in the sun for hours.







This is one of the most suspenseful thrillers ever made, and women will find themselves drawn to the bad guy and men will wish they could get away with anything like Alain Delon and look like him too. He's terrific in this, and not only was he devilishly(恐ろしいほど)handsome in his prime(最盛期), but was also a good actor and screen presence. The scenery is breathtaking and Nino Rota wrote a beautiful score for this film that should not be missed. Even after knowing the ending (which is one of the all-time greatest !), it stands up to many viewings...in fact, it improves, as one realizes how seamless this plot is, showing no implausible (信じがたい、説明できない)holes(矛盾点)
Delon was and remains one of the most exciting, beautiful actors ever to come out of Europe. The U.S. has never produced an actor to match him for sheer beauty, grace and charisma. Those eyes make you want to know what is going on behind them. The intrigue(魅了されるもの)is always there and you cannot take your eyes off him.
Delon has a son who works very hard to follow in his father's playboy footsteps, but he lacks the class, pure beauty and grace of his father. I hope that once you've seen "Purple Noon", you will move on to his even better films, i.e. "Mr. Klein" or "Le Samourai" and others. Not many are available as yet, but hopefully time will correct this oversight(見過ごし、監視).

この映画のエンディングは忘れられません。

Iran movie,Children of heaven(運動靴と赤い金魚) is a Wonderfully heartwarming film!!






Reviews:
It's quite impressive to see how little kids pay respect to their seniors, what moral values they have, and their tender care for their parents' economic status and daily struggle is particularly moving. More than anything, it is their own sibling (兄弟、姉妹)relationship which tugs at the heartstrings. Majidi's portrayal of the neighbourhood, the school where the kids study, and their own home, is most lifelike and authentic(本当). Without a doubt, the script is the film's main winner, but the casting is one of the film's biggest strengths. Amir Farrokh Hashemian and Bahare Seddiqi are astonishing in their roles - charming, convincing, heartbreaking and totally relatable. You really feel for these kids and really want to settle their problems so that they can move on. This film is a true example of superb acting by child artists, and it shows how far they can go in their ability to explore the innocent spirit of childhood. Bacheha-Ye Aseman is a wonderful cinematic experience, which must not be missed by anyone. Just go and grab your seat, I assure it will keep you at the edge of it for one hour and a half and will be engraved in your heart long afterwards.My most favorite scene for this movie is the marathon scene. The fact that Ali had to beg and cried to get a place in the running team was heart wrenching, and when the camera focused on Ali running.
The film industry in Iran is very different from the industry in America. In this film, you will not find any special effects, marketing tactics, or expensive sets. The movie is told in a very simple real fashion using camera work, acting, and real life streets and scenery, giving the film a realistic documentary feel. This characteristic of Iranian film draws us in to the story and gives us the ability to relate closely with the children in a way American films does not. The approach gives the film an honest character and believable reality. This subtitled film humanizes Iran for the American viewer. You realize that people are people no mater where they live, all have the same feelings and emotions. Ali The story is told through the children and their experiences. Children of Heaven takes you into the hearts and lives of a young boy, Ali (played by Amir Farrokh Hashemian), and his sister, Zhara (played by Bahare Sediqi), capturing the life of a family living in poverty in Iran. After watching this movie, seeing a story where a pair of lost shoes can be so important, you realize that we are very lucky to live in a time and country where most people never go without such basic items as shoes. This film shows us a place where people may not have much, but they have what they need most of all, each other. The family bond is strong, that can often be lost in the fast paced and transient society that America tends to be. The surface theme of Children of Heaven is about Ali losing his younger sister, Zahra's, shoes and trying to make things right without the help of his parents. The family is extremely poor and Ali knows that his father is not in any position to buy another pair of shoes for Zahra. When looking further into this theme, I am amazed at the cultural differences in Middle Eastern and American lifestyles. I have no doubt that there are families in America facing extreme economic hardships that experience some of the sacrifices shown in this film. However, the United States is overall very materialistic and it is not often that we are exposed to families, especially children that are willing to make the sacrifices that the characters of this film made. Ali wanted to take direct responsibility for his sister and felt genuine remorse(自責の念) for the loss of her shoes. In most American films, the audience would be turned off by the main character, especially a boy, crying so often throughout the movie. In this case, Ali's love for his family is prevalent throughout the film and his strong emotions come across very heartfelt and sincere.Commenting this movie is total useless.
Because it holds so much beauty in it's simplicity.
The plot is simple, the actings, the casts, the musics, the cinematography, the arts.And yet it hold us dearly. Bring us to the daunting passion of love and pain, laugh and tears.
As the movie ends, we left with a simple thought in our minds, a simple teaching of love. Simple love and simply love.One of the best family movie for every occasion.Both child actors put on amazing performances, and the story comes to life through their strife. This touching narrative displays some ups and downs, but the fire within Ali drives everything. I watched and hoped for the best, and the ending is simply beautiful. Get into Iranian cinema and give this foreign piece of work a shot.

貧しい中でも一生懸命に生きている姿、心が動かされました。良い映画に出会えた!!

ugetsu(雨月物語) is a milestone film!



Despite some disturbing scenes and issues, this is a beautiful movie. It tells the story of how the search for money and glory can destroy true happiness. What makes the story work is a lot of different things. First of all, the acting is very good.The scenery and costumes were pretty good as well. The directing was what was the most outstanding. I confess that I have a problem with most modern movies in that they show a heavy dependance on modern technology and declining moral standards.
If you love Japanese movies, this is a must-have film. Mizoguchi was one of the world's best directors. The homecoming scene near the end of Ugetsu is one of the great moments in cinema. Note the way that scene was shot. The cinematography by Kazuo Miyagawa is without equal. This movie has more memorable scenes than just about any other film I've watched.
The basic plot of Ugetsu involves two peasants who go off to seek fame and fortune. Their adventures end up having disastrous consequences for their wives. Mizoguchi's films often focus on the plight of women who are victimized by greedy and selfish men. Another theme is how a woman's love can save a man from his follies. This film, vastly underrated and overlooked, is quite simply one of the best films ever made. With scenes that alternate between horror and beauty, hallucination(幻覚) and crushing reality, the supernatural and the real, and with an exceptional cinematographer (someone who worked for Kurosawa in the years to come) this film has it all: a love story, a moral fable(寓話), an insight into the nature of the human condition. One of the great masterworks of Japanese cinema, "Ugetsu" is part ghost story, part wartime drama, and the two mix beautifully under Mizoguchi's cogent(説得力のある) direction. In some ways, he links the suffering of women--murder, rape, destitution--to the selfish acts and desires of men, an unambiguously progressive theme in postwar Japan's reevaluation of tradition. "Ugetsu" benefits enormously from the presence of Kyo as a sensual(官能的な)apparition(亡霊), as well as Kazuo Miyagawa's gliding camerawork. Film lovers will embrace this entrancing(夢中にさせる)story of human longing(切望).

映画ガス燈(gas light)でのイングリッドバーグマン(Ingrid Bergman)、シャルルボワイエ(Charles Boyet)の熱演を観た!


Movie reviews

Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyet were amazing. Bergman portrays her character's emotions to

the point that you feel the same way she does. And Boyet is pure evil in this one. Many times

watching this, I was thinking, "He is so terrible to her!" It was so psychological, how everything

eveloped. The best scene in the whole movie took place at the reception, when Gregory tells Paula

he lost his watch, and then finds it in her purse. Then she bursts into tears, and it was so

absolutely amazing how the scene was pulled off(成功する). In fact, it was so subtle it was scary.


You wouldn't expect a missing watch found in her purse to be such a big deal, but it is such a

strong scene.

The one thing I didn't like about this otherwise nearly flawless movie was the climax. It was just


too dull to me, and the only part I really liked was Paula's wicked sarcasm (人を苦しめる嘲り)

towards Gregory while they're in the attic. She truly did deserve the Best Actress Oscar for her

acting, but nothing could mask the fact that the climax was just too weak. If it had a bit of a

touchup(修正、変更), this movie would be perfect.


Bergman begins to lose things, misplace things, and develop a case of kleptomania(盗癖), or at

least that's her husband's explanation. Boyer convinces his wife that she is going insane, that she

is sick, and she becomes little more than a shut-in(ひきこもる). She becomes paranoid, especially

at her maids (the younger of which is played by Angela Lansbury in her first film role). Meanwhile,

Joseph Cotten, a detective, gets an inkling(うすうす感じる) that something is up in that household,

and that it might be related to the aunt's murder. Gaslight is a very atmospheric film. The black and

white cinematography(撮影術) is full of shadows, and there are interesting things going on in the

focus. The music is also quite excellent, and very original. Classical music is also used to great

effect. The plot is great, although maybe a tiny bit predictable (it didn't harm my enjoyment of the

film whatsoever). The performances are top-notch, although Cotten doesn't add much to the

picture. I mean, he's good, but his role perhaps isn't the one the original playwright or the

screenwriters were most interested in. Anyone probably could have done just as well. Bergman's

performances is to be counted amongst her best. Charles Boyer, an actor with whom I am

unfamiliar, is so wicked in the film. You hate him, but you've got to admit it's an effective

performance! And I can't finish without praising Angela Lansbury. Dame May Whitty also has a nice

supporting role, although the role - the comic relief - is sometimes used at a bad time. I don't

think, for instance, she should have come back in during the final sequence. Anyway, little flaws(欠

点) don't detract much from this masterpiece.


This film doesn't really deserve to be called "a classic", because it really shows its age: it may be

technically excellent, but the obvious script and Boyer's overacting (he seems to have "I am BAD"

written all over his face ) are unforgivable by today's standards. "Gaslight" has a few effective

moments, but, as a whole, it doesn't quite click(自分に合う、分かる).

アンジェリーナ・ジョリー(Angelina Jolie) がサラエボの映画祭で特別賞、涙のスピーチを聴く!!



Angelina Jolie drops in for a surprise visit to Sarajevo with her partner Brad Pitt to receive an honorary award at the city's film festival.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt attended the Sarajevo Film Festival on Saturday in Bosnia. Jolie, 36, received the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo award at the closing ceremonies.

Jolie's directorial debut -- The Land of Blood and Honey --- is a film about the war in Bosnia. One of the film's lead actresses, Zana Marjanovic, introduced Jolie to the crowd by saying she had a friend there to help her present an award.Jolie, clad in an Elie Saab gown, was moved "almost to tears" by the crowd's nonstop applause. The festival director, Mirsad Purivatra praised her not only her cinematic achievements but also for her global humanitarian efforts.The film sparked considerable controversy because it focuses on the love between a Muslim woman and a Serb who are in a relationship at the beginning of the Bosnian war in the '90s, and then shows what happens to their relationship throughout the war.On the red carpet, Jolie and Pitt, 47, stopped to "pat a baby," according to a source. "I love this country," Jolie said. "I was honored to have a chance to meet everybody. This movie was a chance to bring attention to the situation that happened so long ago, and I hope that it brings attention and more dialogue to remind people what everybody here went through."



The above Speech transcript:
I told Brad in the car I was afraid I was going to cry,
really tried not to. I’m so happy to be in this remarkable city in this beautiful country and I’ve spent the last year lucky enough to experience not just the warmth and the hospitality of the local people but also your extraordinary talent.In my career, I have never worked with such disciplined and talented artists as I was able to this last year.

I am number 4 is a stylish film(アイアムナンバー4)はクールな最新作か!?

Trailer


Short plot
I Am Number Four follows the story of John Smith, a 15-year old alien from the planet Lorien, and his guardian, Henri, as they run from the Mogadorians, another race of aliens that are hunting down John and the eight other teenage Loriens, who all make up the Garde,

living on Earth. The Garde consists of all Loriens who have special legacies and powers. The teenagers are protected by a charm, which only allows them to be killed in a set order.

John is Number Four.
The book opens with the death of Number Three. Number Four is introduced, going by the name of Daniel Jones, as he leaves Florida. Four has three circular scars wrapped around his right ankle, signifying the deaths of Numbers One, Two, and Three. These scars are present on all the Lorien teenagers, and with each death, another scar appears.

Henri, Four's Cêpan (guardian), tells him they are going to Paradise, Ohio. Four is given the name John Smith as his new alias.
Tired of running, John says that he wants to begin to make a life for himself. Henri reminds him why they run, and the conversation ends. John begins to attend the local high school, where he meets Sarah Hart, a blonde junior. He also meets her ex-boyfriend Mark James, who immediately begins to pick on John. John stands up to him, the first time he has ever stood up to anybody.

words:
pick on からかう いじめる
stand up to 抵抗する、立ち上がる 耐える

various views after watching it:
More geared towards teens than adults,still a thrilling ride for adults, though.(ティーン向き、アダルトもスリルを感じられるけれどね)

The story itself is good, but the acting and directing are all mediocre(凡庸)

I cant wait to see the sequal(続きが観たくてたまらない) if they make one

Showed promise but went downhill quickly(期待させたが、すぐ下り坂の展開)

Notorious(汚名): Alfred Hitchcock Film 圧倒的なイングリッドバーグマンの存在感 (ingrid bergman)

trailer




Most of Transcript above



I'm sorry to intrude
on this tender scene.

I knew her before you did love to
before you did.
But I wasn't as lucky as you.

I'll take care of her damage myself.


No. Not that way.
I stood looking at her
when she was asleep.



I could have...
Quiet, Alex!



You're almost as impetuous(衝動的)
as before your wedding.

You barred (追い出す)me from that episode.



Let me arrange this one.


Alicia,
what's wrong with you?



I'm so glad you came.


I had to.
I couldn't stand any more...



waiting and worrying about you.



That wasn't a hangover
you had that day.



You were sick then.
What is it?



Yes, I was sick.



What's wrong with you, Alicia?



Oh, Dev.
What is it, dear?
What's wrong with you?

They're poisoning me.

Short plot

Alicia Huberman (Ingrid Bergman), the American daughter of a convicted(有罪の) Nazi spy, is recruited by government agent T. R. Devlin (Cary Grant) to infiltrate(侵入) an organization of Nazis who have relocated to Brazil after World War II.
While awaiting the details of her assignment in Rio de Janeiro, they fall in love, though his feelings are complicated by his knowledge of her wild past. When Devlin is ordered to persuade her to seduce Alex Sebastian (Claude Rains), one of her father's friends and a leading member of the group, Devlin tries to convince his superiors that Alicia is not fit for the job, without success. He puts up a stoic (平然)front when he informs Alicia about the mission, choosing duty over love. Alicia concludes that he was merely pretending to love her as part of his job.
They contrive(たくらむ) to have her meet Sebastian and renew their acquaintance. At a dinner, Alicia witnesses an odd incident; a guest becomes hysterical at the sight of several wine bottles on a sideboard and is ushered quickly from the room.
Sebastian quickly renews his ardor (
熱意)for her, and soon Alica reports to Devlin, "you can add Sebastian's name to my list of playmates." When Sebastian proposes, Alicia informs Devlin, hoping he will finally erupt(
爆発), but the agent coldly tells her to do whatever she wants; stung, she marries Sebastian.
When she returns from her honeymoon, Alicia is hard-pressed to find anything amiss in her new home; the only thing she can relate to Devlin is that the key ring her husband gave her is short a key, the one to the wine cellar. That and the bottle episode at the dinner lead Devlin to urge Alicia to hold a grand party. The night of the affair, Alicia secretly steals the key from Sebastian’s ring, and the two slip away to the cellar. By chance, Devlin accidentally breaks a bottle. Inside they find not wine, but a black sand (which later analysis shows to be uranium). He takes a sample, cleans up, and locks the door just as Sebastian comes down for more champagne. Alicia and Devlin kiss to cover their tracks. Devlin feigns drunkenness and makes an exit, but Sebastian remains suspicious. When he comes back later, he finds glass and sand pushed under a rack.

ヒッチコック(Hitchcock)はやはり天才か?映画裏窓(rear window)ではグレースケリーの美が炸裂



The below is some translation of the trailer :

I can smell trouble right here in this apartment.
First you smash your leg,
Then you get to looking out the window,
See things you shouldn't see.
Trouble.

something big going on somewhere?
It's a big night.
It's just an old run-of-the-mill(ありふれた、いつもと変わらない) Wednesday.
It's opening night of the last depressing week of L B Jefferies in a cast(ギブス).


I just can't figure it.
He went out several times last night in the rain,
- Carrying his sample case. - Well, he's a salesman, isn't he?
It's not an ordinary look.


It's the kind of look a man gives when he's afraid somebody
might be watching him
There's nothing to see.
There is . I've seen things through that window.
I've seen bickering口論)and family quarrels
And mysterious trips at night
And knives and saws and rope.




That's a secret, private world you're looking into out there
People do a lot of things in private they couldn't possibly explain in public.

Let's start from the beginning again, Jeff.
Tell me everything you saw


there's pretty private stuff going on there.

Brief plot:

After breaking his leg during a dangerous assignment, professional photographer L. B. "Jeff" Jeffries

is confined in his Greenwich Village apartment, using a wheelchair while he recuperates. His rear

window looks out onto a small courtyard and several other apartments. During a summer heat wave,

he passes the time by watching his neighbors, who keep their windows open to stay cool. The tenants

he can see include a dancer, a lonely woman he nicknames "Miss Lonelyheart", a songwriter, several

married couples, and Lars Thorwald, a salesman with a bedridden wife.
After Thorwald makes repeated late-night trips carrying a large case, Jeff notices that Thorwald's

wife is gone and sees Thorwald cleaning a large knife and handsaw. Later, Thorwald ties a large

packing crate with heavy rope and has moving men haul it away. Jeff discusses these observations

with his wealthy girlfriend Lisa and his home-care nurse Stella , then explains to his friend Tom

Doyle , a local police detective, that they believe Thorwald murdered his wife. Doyle looks into the

situation but finds nothing suspicious.Soon after, a neighbor's dog is found dead with its neck broken.

When a woman sees the dog and screams, the neighbors all rush to their windows to see what has

happened, except for Thorwald, whose cigar can be seen glowing as he sits in his dark apartment.

Convinced that Thorwald is guilty after all, Jeff has Lisa slip an accusatory(告訴、非難) note under Thorwald's

door so Jeff can watch his reaction when he reads it. Then, as a pretext(口実)to get Thorwald away from

his apartment, Jeff telephones him and arranges a meeting at a bar. He thinks Thorwald may have

buried something in the courtyard flower patch and then killed the dog to keep it from digging it up.

When Thorwald leaves, Lisa and Stella dig up the flowers but find nothing.

Grace Kelly is one of the most admired women in the world. Even today, she is upheld as a standard of beauty, grace, and style. Her talent and persona influenced the great motion picture director Alfred Hitchcock so strongly that he attempted to make other actresses into her image, without success.

映画「詐欺師達(The grifters)」で演じるジョン・キューザック(John Cusack)はクールだ!

The grifters trailer



Movie review


For a movielover, it rarely gets better than this. This movie is fast-moving, funny, intense, shocking and ultimately very satisfying. Most of it is so beautifully photographed that it looks like a series of postcards at times.

The acting is the best thing about the movie - the three leads are perfection and I also appreciated the character actors aboard - Frances Bay, Henry Jones, J.T. Walsh, and the great Pat Hingle. All in all, see the movie, but not with your mom and not with a drink!
This is just such a good movie.

John Cusack really comes into his own. Angelica Huston reminds us how good she can be when she tries. Especially check out her tangible fear and dread in the famous scene in the bosses office, with the cigar.

And Annette Bening is just hot . she is so damn sexy in this movie and she looks so good naked. At the same time,

she plays mischevious, sad, scared, angry, and evil with equal ability.

二流詐欺師(?)を軸に、ハードボイルドなせりふが炸裂する強烈な作品。アネット・ベニングがキュート。(1990年度の作品)

ジュリアロバーツ(Julia Fiona Roberts)が好演した映画エリンブロコビッチ(Erin Brockovich)で英語を楽しむ



This film is based on the true story of a woman named Erin Brockovich, who together with Ed Masry uncovered a major cover up of a health hazard resulting in one of the largest settlements in history. This film is extremely well done, dividing its time between Erin the worker, Erin the single-mom trying her best to raise her three kids, and Erin the human being.
Roberts received countless amounts of praise for her performance including a much deserved Oscar.
Academy Award nominations for Supporting Actor, Screenplay, Director and Best Picture speak for themselves in declaring just how impressive this film really is.

Transcript of the above scene

Erin.



How's it going?



You never called me back.
I left messages.




You did? well I didn't know that.
Donald seems to think that you said--



There's two things that aggravate me mr masry.
being ignored and being lied to.



-I never lied.
-You told me things'd be fine.



They're not. I trusted you.



-I'm sorry about that,really,am,
-I don't need pity.






I need a paycheck.
And I've looked.



but When you spent the past six years raising babies,
it's real hard to get a job that pays worth a damn.



Are you getting every word of this down, honey?
Or am I talking too fast for you?



I am sorry about that, but really am .



But we have a full staff right now so--



Bullshit. If you had a full staff,
Office'd return a client's damn phones calls.




now I'm smart and hard-working.and I will do anything,
I'm not leaving here without a job.



Don't make me beg.



If it doesn't work out, fire me.





Don't make me beg.



No benefits.

- This is quite a cabin.
- Pretty cozy, isn't it?




{ Sniffing]



- Holy Moses!
- What's the matter?



- That perfume.
- What's the matter with it?



It's just that I've been up the Amazon
for a year, and they don't use perfume.




Oh. The shoes are over here.



Because you were so polite, you can pick
them out and put them on if you like.



Push that side. There.



- Holy Moses!
- See anything you like?




- The evening slippers are over there.
- { Chuckles]




Those the ones you want?



Doesn't seem possible
for anybody to wear anything that size.



Oh, that's pretty.



You'll have to kneel down.



- I hope I didn't hurt you.
- Of course you didn't.



Don't you feel well?



Oh, I'm all right.




- What were you doing up the Amazon?
- Looking for snakes.




- I'm an ophiologist.
- I thought you were
in the beer business.



- Beer? Ale!
- What's the difference?



- Between beer and ale?
- Yes.



My father'd burst a blood vessel
if he heard you say that.



There's a big difference. Ale's sort
of fermented on the top or something.



And beer's fermented on the bottom.
Or maybe it's the other way around.



There's no similarity at all.



The trouble with being
descended from a brewer,




no matter how long ago he "brewed-ed"
or whatever you call it,



you're supposed to know all about
something you don't give a hoot about.



It's funny to be kneeling here
at your feet talking about beer.



You see, I don't like beer.
Bock beer, lager beer or steam beer.



- Don't you?
- I do not!



And I don't like pale ale, brown ale,
nut brown ale, porter or stout,



which makes me "ulp"
just to think about it.



Excuse me.



Wasn't enough, so everybody would
call me Hopsie ever since I was six years old.




- Hopsie Pike.
- Hello, Hopsie.



- Make it, Charlie, will you?
- { Laughing]



All right, but there's something
kinda cute about Hopsie.



And when you get older,
I could call you Popsie. Hopsie Popsie.



- That's all I'd need.
- { Laughs]



Here's a business I wouldn't mind.
I never realized how lovely it could be.



Oh, thank you.



We'd better get back now.




Yes, I guess so.



You see, where I've been... I mean,
up the Amazon, you kind of forget how...



I mean, when you haven't seen
a girl in a long time...



I mean, uh, there's something
about that perfume that...



- Don't you like my perfume?
- Like it? I'm cockeyed on it.



Why, Hopsie, you ought
to be kept in a cage.


In 1994, This movie The Lady Eve was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
