Movies and Music

To say the truth.. I'm a little disillusioned about blogging. Was tempted to shut it down a few times. But... I've blogged too long to shut it down. 1 year plus eh. Not bad. I feel that my only reason for blogging is to introduce some good films and music. I hate blogging about my life. Reason's simple. My life ain't special. I just go to school everyday like an ordinary student. And i don't like posting photos of myself and people. Some people say it's dull if there's no photos. I beg to differ. For me, a blog is used to tell people about your thoughts, and not become a 'picture website'. So yeah.. that's about it.

Moving on...


LEON " THE PROFESSIONAL "




Very good film. The film is really old-fashioned, but is still a masterpiece.

Jean Reno portrays Leon, the hitman, very well. Jean Reno shows the inner- conflict in Leon very well. The scene where he thinks of killing Mathilda proves that. But over time, Leon grows to adore Mathilda, and sets out to protect her. Jean Reno portrays that very well too. Film has a very good twist too, a little expected, but still a good twist.

Natalie Portman plays the 12 year old Mathilda really well too. She plays a weak but very strong-minded girl, who is bent on revenge. You could see the viciousness in her eyes when she talks about revenge. I love actors and actresses who play the movie with their eyes. It helps in communicating with the audience, and can portray their thoughts easily.

Well, Gary Oldman plays the antagonist of the film. I first noticed about his quality acting in Batman Begins and Dark Knight, where he plays the chief police helping out Batman. This time, Gary Oldman plays the evil guy. He gives the character a feel of evil, eccentricness, cleverness, and unstableness. Notice how he talks in the film, gives the audience that he is mentally unstable, and can shoot anyone recklessly anytime. Very good portrayal.


And the last scene is really epic, yet realistic. Watch for yourself. Film likes to use the "over the shoulder" shot during conversations.



So yeah.. a very nice movie witha good plot, good acting and good directing.

Awards: 2 wins & 8 nominations
Imdb rating: 8.6/ 10 ( Not bad eh)
Rated #34 in Imdb top 250 films.



So.. hope you guys check out the movie sometime. :)
