The Danish Girl

Alicia Vikander 04:57:00
Aren't you irritated by those who believe that humans can be put into a box of ordered, traditional and politically correct? Who consider otherness a deviation and whose views don't reach further than their own little, fenced garden of friends and acquaintances? Would you ask a limbless child why he wasn't born normal? Would you blame a child from the orphanage for being...

St. Vincent

Bill Murray 01:39:00
Life is a layered entity. With the abundance of good, there are hundreds of less praiseworthy, admirable and honorable of its qualities. We are rarely black and white. Your character is the outcome of your traumas, past experiences, people who hurt you, your broken hearts and failures. The more experienced you are, the more you are willing to accept the flaws of other...

Suffragette

Ben Whishaw 01:49:00
If you were born a girl whose only dream was to bear children and be protected by your husband, you might not care about your legal rights. If your life vocation is a little bit different: you want to be educated, travel around the world, pursuit interest of various kinds and be financially independent, appreciate what changes have been made over the last...

Macbeth

crime 09:43:00
It's funny how over the years human nature didn't change one bit. We love with the same passion, we desire the same fragile fleeting possessions and we crave power and dominance. In the today world of great corporations, we place ourselves in the ladder of income and benefits. Creating a company, we become the kings of our little realms. The masters of our...

Carol

Cate Blanchett 08:53:00
You can hear so many stories about people living in wrong relationships. You can hear about couples who decided to be with each other because of loneliness, material security, friendship or treated each other as a last resort in the battle of starting a family. The pressure of meeting our family and friend's expectations influences our love-life butterfly effect. Nowadays films try to...

The Brand New Testament/Le tout nouveau testament

church 09:33:00
I'm sure there was a time when you doubted the goodness of God. Be it the family tragedy, unlucky love affair, quarrel between friends. Or simply you spilled milk on your new shirt. God acts in mysterious ways. And if God is in fact a slob, a pathological maniac and an addicted gambler of human fate? Who will save us from his mischievous...

The Big Short

Brad Pitt 10:18:00
We all have this weird human trait of having more than necessary. We submit our life, health, and well-being to stresses, anxiety, and fear just to possess a house that we don't use to the fullest, to buy a flat we cannot afford or own a car that we cannot maintain. We believe in the idea of a loan. We want something now...

Braveheart

France 03:50:00
I wonder what makes us think that ours is better, nicer and faster. Is it the language that we speak, is it our nationality or the food we consume that make us protect our country when it is invaded? What makes us die for what we consider our property? Why colonizing other countries always meant imposing one's language and culture? Why emigrating leads...

Joy

business 10:48:00
Why is it so that Mark Zuckerberg is considered successful for inventing a social network we all use nowadays? Why we pay tribute to Bill Gates, Steve Jobs for their genius, wit, and courage? Why we create the cult of a man? Why women are just a small part of the decision-making board and why women agree to earn less for doing the...

Rock the Kasbah

adventure 08:05:00
I remember times when singing contests were occupied by talented people who had an idea of what kind of career they would like to follow. Then the number of such shows tripled, the number of potential stars multiplied and now it seems that everybody can sing. We have one Adele and hundreds of seemingly good voices. The last thing I enjoyed about this...

Juno

children 09:29:00
Ideally, you graduate, find a good job, get married, get pregnant, start a family. Ideally. Idealism has rarely anything to do with reality. Some girls end up heartbroken, others choose a professional career, yet others want to change the country and taste the life abroad. There's a whole lot of those who want to pursuit fashionable careers of models, actresses, celebrities. And there...

She Monkeys

animals 09:31:00
The friendship between women often borders on a competition. Everything is well when one has more than the other, when one is lucky and the other is there to make another feel better. Then one person's success means mutual happiness. And accordingly: failure on one part proves to be the tragedy of the partner. Or is it? Friendship. In times of trouble, you...

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
