I watched "Room" last night. That was a wrenching film. I can't believe the boy wasn't nominated for an Oscar. That movie basically was him. I can't understand Brie Larson winning & he didn't even get a nod. That's on par w/DiCaprio not winning for What's Eating Gilbert Grape.
I agree. After I watched that movie I thought about some reviews I read where they said Brie carried the young boy. I totally disagree with that; the boy carried her through it if anything. Great little actor there.
A great survival film. Like Cast Away and Deliverance, you have after the fact scenes which are very telling in what happens after the story.
I agree with you. And I do wonder how I would cope in similar circumstances.
Cast Away, is as you say, very similar to Walkabout. Although I will say I only became engrossed in the film during Hanks' tenure on the island living a Robinson Crusoe existence. The final act was perhaps a little too trite for my liking. But generally a very good film as a whole.
Oh, and who can forget "Wilson", and that oh-so sad parting of the ways! I cried and cried and cried watching that scene. Still do in fact. How the hell can a person get so emotional over a basketball. But it worked so well that I almost felt "Wilson" was real,
One of my favourite foreign films, coupled with Takeshi Kitano's wonderfully OTT performance, "Battle Royale" is a rollercoaster of shocks, violence, betrayal, murder, friendship and more brutal killings.
Relentless from start to finish, and is an early prelude to The Hunger Game franchise we have today, BR is a lot of sick fun for those mindless evenings where you just want to veg in front of the tv and not have to think too hard about anything
American Graffiti (1973), love that movie and watched it yesterday for the first time in years, I loved how believable the characters were and I've felt like that I knew them.
