Jiamin YE's Review: Allied


Allied is a 2016 romantic thriller film directed by Robert Zemeckis 
and written by Steven Knight. The two main characters are Brad Pitt 
(as Max Vatan) and Marion Cotillard (as Marianne Beauséjour).


Allied looks like a movie talking about spy and war, but actually it is a love story. In the first half of the film, Max and Marianne
disguised a pair fake married couple and then they assassinated a German senior officer. In the process, they live together, going out together, developed, implemented plan of assassination and escape from danger, therefore, they fell in love with each other.


In the second half, they got married, and have a child, they have happy and quiet life in British. The wonderful time is always too short, the British government suspects that Marianne is concerned with a case of intelligence disclosure, and Max confirmed his wife is a spy, they wanna run away, in order to save Max and their child Marianne eventually committed suicide. Emotional interaction between Max and Marianne makes people feel real and touched.
In fact, looking at Max's struggle, Marianne is also painful, they are longing for warm, romantic family life, but they have to make a choice because of the war. From Marianne's amazing shot, we can see love is selfless.


Another interesting aspect is that the movie costumes, actually it is Marianne's costumes. Each set of clothes has a strong sense of design, the clothing with retro flavour make Marianne become more beautiful and charming.


Hope you are interested in this film.

Grave of the Fireflies

Image
by Abir Grave of the fireflies is a Japanese animated film by the iconic Studio Ghibli. Some consider it, the greatest animated movie of all time. If you recon that Bambi was emotional as animation gets, Let me start my saying that grave of the fireflies is like depression distilled into 90 minutes. This film evokes emotion like no other and is known as a real tear jerker. Grave of the fireflies is based on Akiyuki Nosaka's semi-autobiographical novel of the same name. It chronicles the lives of two siblings, Seita and Setsuko, following the fire-bombing of their town during the end of second world war. Following this we witness their struggle for survival, both parent-less and homeless we observe their tragedy with unsentimental intimacy. Despite the somber tone, the movie is contrasted with magical moments of natural beauty and childlike delight, thus making the tale even more harrowing. This film is a work of art unlike no other, most modern animated f

Maeesha's Review: Megamind

Megamind (2010) MEGAMIND Hey there good people! I’m feeling a little evil today. “Muahahaha!” That was my failed attempt at making you guys believe I’m evil. Today's movie will be based on my mood. Anyways, aren’t you guys always tired of speaking about the good, the good and the good? I mean come on bad matters to the world too, doesn’t it? The good and bad both make the world how it is and make the people who they are. Let’s face it, there’s no good without evil and there’s no fun in life without the “bad stuff”. *Wink*. To be a little more philosophical here, I think well the bad helps us in ways we can’t even imagine. Well that was tonnes of good and bad, now let’s get on track – yes, I’ll be reviewing a movie and it’s an animated movie, it is- Megamind! We’ve had heaps of good superheroes saving the day, well now it’s time for the evil super-villain to save the day! As terrifying as it sounds, trust me it happens…just trust me. I’m so glad that Dreamworks produce

Manuel's review: V for Vendetta

Movie review: V for Vendetta Ok so first of all, this movie is incredible. Imagine an action movie had a baby with a philosophical movie, and then this baby came out as the pinnacle of movie evolution. This baby then wins a beauty contest without even entering, and beats up chuck Norris for fun with one arm tied behind his back. To give a brief review of what happens, basically Evey Hamond is young woman forced to live with a crime fighting vigilante who calls himself V. This companionship revolutionised not only themselves, but the nation in which they live. In the movie, Hugo Weaving gives a stunning performance as V, a chivalrous yet sinister vigilante. Meanwhile, Natalie Portman portrays Evey, a broken individual who regains her integrity in a most unlikely manner. Now for the not so dark stuff. Once you finish watching this mental org*sm of a movie, you get the feeling of finishing an essay 3 hours before it’s due. The beautiful philosophy interwoven with the bloody violenc
