The movie is nice, but...
13 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The movie was really beautiful and filled with emotional scenes and feelings of love between two people. I really liked the story, the characters, and the way the actors played their roles. The angel behaved exactly as I imagined him to be if I ever met one. He was kind, handsome, and he always used an unusual way of communication with people. So it was really exciting to watch because basically the story was about love and some difficulties that you have to go through to achieve your happiness with that person. I must say that the choice the angel made was a really brave thing considering that she had already said no to him. I loved how the film showed the moment of him falling down, and after that, almost everything was perfect: he was so happy that he could feel things as a normal person, he tried to do his best to get to her no matter how hard it was. And then, finally - they were together. They chose each other, and they were very happy about it.

I was literally enjoying the whole story and fell in love with each moment of it. The movie fills you with positive energy, and you can't even imagine that it might have some bad, unexpected event that will ruin everything. That's the way I thought during my observation of the characters' lives. Look how sweet everything was: he was waiting for her in the kitchen, looking forward to having the first and probably the most delicious breakfast of his life with her - the one that he had dreamed about. And she: she literally enjoyed everything that was around her while she was riding her bike home to him - the man she had fallen in love with. And here it is! The chance to press the pause button and never think about what was after that beautiful scene again. Believe me, it would be the best thing that you could do here.

The truth is: she dies. It was some stupid car accident that didn't even look that serious enough to kill her. Despite the fact that he was far away, he immediately felt that something had happened to her, something really bad, and he rushed to that place. He couldn't do anything to help the situation, and he was just watching her dying and begging her to stay alive. He was helpless.

If I had the opportunity to change anything in this movie, I would choose changing the ending. I don't think it was necessary to have her die, and the movie could have been perfect without that ending. They actually could have lived happily ever after together.

However, the movie is adorable. It spreads love and makes you feel happy (especially if you pause before the end). I love that kind of romantic story when the main goal of each of them is to get to each other no matter what. So I wish I could say that this one became one of my favorites, but the ending just ruined everything. So be ready for that, my dear friend!

Leap! (2016)
10/10
Charming!
1 May 2023
That was wonderful. Actually, I don't like watching cartoons 'cause usually it typically has a plot geared towards children. But this one is incredible! It can be interesting for anybody, especially for adults. The story is about a girl who has a pipe dream but made it to come true though. Of course, as a cartoon it has its own features but generally it shows something that any person is able to do if he/she wants to.

During watching you realize how powerful you are yourself if you really do the effort. But as the movie shows us it's not only about working hard everyday and having a goal. As an example, at the end we see two girls, one of them was forced by her mother to become a ballerina and she's been doing exercises for years. Sure, she's brilliant as a dancer with a perfect technique, but she doesn't have any passion as the teacher of the other girl said.

You see, it's more than just about doing some work, you have to be inspired and believe in your dreams. Don't you think that what the other girl has done for such a short period of time was amazing? She didn't even have a special space for her exercises, but she had something which gave her much more power than the other girl got. Felicie was delighted by opera. And when the girls had a "competition" she has done an incredible leap which impressed everybody and which Camille couldn't do because of her fear that she can fall.

So, what I liked more is that story shows that you are able to do anything you want, even fly! The main thing is you really have to believe in it and live it. There was an important question "Why do you dance?" and only after this unbelievable jump Felicie could answer with her heart because she realized that that's a part of her life and she cannot live without it.

This cartoon made me cry a lot while I was watching it in spite of that it doesn't really have any sad moments for crying. I was just realizing how bright the light which Felicie caught was and how she was chasing her dream regardless of any obstacles that she had. Sure, it impressed me and gave a lot of motivation and inspiration eventually. I watched it when I was younger, but I wasn't able to see many things that I saw now. I am sure everybody should watch it, especially those people who want to connect dancing with their life.

I literally love this one!
10 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I watched this movie once before, but I didn't really pay my attention to many things so I just enjoyed the acting.

I love the cast, especially Leonardo DiCaprio - he's brilliant as usual. The plot is also incredible! You don't notice how time passes :) So, I want to mention several things about the story and my feelings about it. The main character Frank starts doing illegal things when he is very young.

As we can see in the beginning everything's great and he loves his parents just the way they love him. But the thing is nothing lasts forever, so they get divorced. Obviously, it's painful for Frank as for any child. And from my point of view I see him as a lonely kid in many situations. The thing about his "job" is that he doesn't really have any friends there. He sends letters to his father after something new appeared in his life. He's always trying to keep in touch with Dad and worrying about his family as a little kid who wants to make sure his parents still talk to each other and hear some support from them. It seems like everything what he's doing isn't really about fraud. Sure, he's getting obsessed with this deal, but look at his reaction when the FBI agent finally got him. He was kinda happy about the fact that he met Carl on Christmas and now he can speak to him like face to face, but without any awareness of what's going on.

The way how he spoke to Carl was my favorite. I guess it's typical way of communication in the movies between the person who catches and the one he's trying to catch. But according the fact Frank doesn't have any friends it was kinda cute. They both seem like a little boy and a father who's trying to punish his child for some reason. Admittedly, it wasn't just about fraudulent activity. It has its own emotional background as I think. And this is noticeable in some scenes.

Anyway, did you even see how he does his con things? I assume it's always just about confidence and nothing else. Even that scene when he was almost caught by Carl but he pretended as a man who works for a secret service. That was amazing! He had only a few minutes to think and look what he did!

Well, the movie is adorable. It can even inspire you in some way to improve your confidence 'cause it shows you how many things you can do with that. I highly recommend this one to watch!

Good
9 January 2023
What a nice movie I watched! There are a lot of things to discuss, and the first one is Jack Nicholson as the main character - Melvin, and his acting is perfect as usual.

The movie has a great cast and interesting and funny plot. It's not just about love, there was also good example about taking chances "Now or Never." That's interesting - during the whole movie you can see what feelings can do with people. This is incredible!

The main character was mentally ill, he broke his obsession with perfect step at the end, and it happend just because of her! How she wanted him to say something good about her, and how hard it was for him to do that.

Well, it is very interesting to watch, I'm sure you'll enjoy watching this movie, and I think everyone should see this! Becuase As Good as It Gets is wonderful!

Love Actually (2003)
8/10
Real love actually
3 January 2023
"Love actually" is a nice movie. You can see love in different ways, observe people's feelings, and understand what people can do for their loved one.

It also has a pretty good cast. This film follows the lives of eight very different couples. With it you can believe that a miracle really happens, because someone can even fly to another country, learn another language, just to see their love, to ask to get married knowing that she can refuse.

So, It's romantic, funny and everything happens at Christmas. I highly recommend watching this movie, especially if you can watch it with your loved one. It will bring you a good Christmas mood and you will enjoy it!

Burnt (I) (2015)
8/10
He is literally obsessed with cooking
4 December 2022
The film "Burnt" is really interesting. You're literally watching the personal growth. The main character is trying to build his life again with his favorite occupation - cooking.

Most of all I was struck about how he loves what he was doing. There are so many scenes in the movie when chef Adam was cooking. He's definitely obsessed with this case. And, also, I can mention that there were a lot of people around him. So, he had to trust them, it was his team. Someone could betray him, someone was trying to help him as much as possible, and it was very hard work to do not give up if something goes wrong.

So, you should watch this movie, at least because it gives a lot of motivation and inspiration. If you're really obsessed with something and are ready to devote your life to it, then go ahead. Anything is possible if you want to.

Stepmom (1998)
8/10
It's about our life
28 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Well, I think "Stepmom" is a very kind movie. It's about love between kids and their parents, about growing, some changes in our life. When something happens for the first time, you don't really know how to overcome this obstacle. But, you have a family, your parents, who could give you some advice, help you.

Unfortunately, in the film parents had already divorced. A father found another woman, and a mother became seriously ill. You know, I think this is the main idea of the plot, it makes sense. It is hard times for everyone, and we also can't forget about children's future.

But, as for me, out of the whole movie I really liked these scenes with the song "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" the most. Indeed, we can feel alive in moments like those. We forget about the problems, any difficulties and other things. We are living in the moment, and I guess, it is the main thing in our life.
