Human psychology is a very complex thing, even though we have been trying to study it throughout our history. It is influenced by almost any factor that the layman encounters in everyday life, and cinema is no exception.. Films allow us to get not only vivid emotions, but also to reconsider landmarks, try on different situations and even change our perception of familiar things.
A frankly unsuccessful movie leaves no trace in the soul of a person - after watching the picture, it is quickly forgotten and after a couple of days you won’t even remember the main characters. High-quality tape is another matter, it is sometimes capable of have a major impact on us and even predetermine the life path of a particular viewer.
Worldview is always closely related to the emotional and psychological state of a person. He is only influenced by films that can be called worthwhile. You have probably found yourself in a situation more than once when, after watching a picture on TV, the world began to be perceived differently. These are the films we want to talk about today.
They do not catch everyone, because, like any other kind of art, the quality of the tape is a purely subjective concept. Do not discount other factors - character traits, age, mood, predisposition. However, the films that will be discussed now are quite can change a person's mindset and slightly affect his personality.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Directed by: Milos Forman
Genre: Drama
Year of issue: 1975
We can say that the tape Milos Forman marked the beginning of the mass filming of films about life in psychiatric hospitals. With the main role, the director got to the point by inviting Jack Nicholson, whose appearance and unique facial expressions throughout his career as an actor allowed him to play mentally ill people.
Randle McMurphy - a criminal who was sent to the "yellow house" for examination. The eccentric guy is definitely not sick, with which almost the entire staff of the institution soon agrees. However, Randle quickly makes friends among the patients, causing a lot of trouble for doctors and nurses. Freedom-loving and independent McMurphy cannot understand why the inhabitants of the hospital suffer deprivation and neglect. He won't like the truth.
For your time "Flying over Cuckoo's Nest" is an undeniable masterpiece. Nicholson's character raises important questions of freedom and philanthropy before the viewer. The film makes fun of modern society, its boundless callousness, indifference and cruelty towards those who do not fit into the system.
Ken Kesey, the author of the novel on which the film was based, refused to accept it, because Milos Forman took too many liberties. But if we put aside prejudices, it is worth recognizing that the picture has stood the test of time and has replenished the film library of experienced moviegoers.
[webnavoz_rating id=48205]The Shawshank Redemption
Directed by: Frank Darabont
Genre: Drama
Year of manufacture: 1994 of the year
Before us is a drama that amazes with its strength and depth even now, when the viewer is fed up with blockbusters and films created for the sake of the picture. Frank Darabont managed to film the work of the king of horrors, Stephen King so that, by all accounts, surpassed the original. At first "The Shawshank Redemption" was coolly received by critics and even left without an Oscar (though received 7 nominations). However, now few people turn their tongues to call this tape bad or a failure.
Andy Dufresne goes to Shawshank for life in prison for a crime he didn't commit. It turns out that there is no glimmer of hope in the prison, and the locals have long resigned themselves to their fate. Andy from another test, he survives, makes friends and helps anyone in need. Dufresne keeps hoping to feel free again and make sure that the Pacific Ocean is as blue as in his dreams.
As you already understood, this movie is about perseverance and faith in the best. The focus is on the relationship between Dufresne and other prisoners. Some break - the rest continue to live to spite the devil himself, and Andy is above all others and proves by his own example that the fate of a person is always only in his hands.
[webnavoz_rating id=48206]Forrest Gump
Director: Robert Zemeckis
Genre: Drama
Year of issue: 1994
Thoma Hanks - one of the few owners of almost unique cinematic flair. He always knew how to find films that became legendary and brought glory to their creators and actors. "Forrest Gump" received 6 Oscar statuettes and gained immense popularity among the audience.
This story is about a wonderful, but unusual guy, Forrest, whose whole life is a boundless kaleidoscope of events. In a world of cruel and cynical people, he a ray of light and an endless source of sincerity. Gump's main problem is low intelligence, which is a serious obstacle to his self-realization. An unhappy family, tragic love, war, restrictions, social prejudices and other circumstances fall on Forrest in an indomitable wave, but he continues to be himself, which not everyone can do.
The plot of the film is similar to a fairy tale, but it is difficult to unambiguously answer whether it has a happy ending. We are shown the world of a man who is absolutely far from the representation of most viewers and hardly understandable to a general audience. However, Forrest Gump is a good lesson and an occasion to show kindness once again, even if it’s very hard on the soul.
[webnavoz_rating id=48207]Достучаться до небес
Directed by: Thomas Yan
Genre: Drama
Year of issue: 1997
The legendary German painting, which at one time did not leave anyone indifferent. Now everyone knows the name of this film, even if they have not watched it. "Knockin 'on Heaven" - creation Thomas Yan с Til Schweiger и Jan Josef Liefers starring. This picture - laughter with tears in your eyes, a barrel of honey with a fly in the ointment, or vice versa - depends on your emotionality.
Martin и Rudy terminally ill with cancer and doctors don't give them much time. After finding a bottle of liquor, the patients celebrate their impending departure, but it suddenly turns out that Rudy has never seen the sea. This angers Martin, and the friends embark on a dangerous journey to reach their final goal. Guys don't risk anything, but Will they be able to accomplish what they set out to do??
Each of us talked about what he would do on his last day of life. The plot of the film is extremely simple and it gives the viewer a very unambiguous message - you need to realize your plans and dreams today - tomorrow it may be too late. For household chores we sometimes do not notice how the years fly by, and after all, every day lived is a great luxury that must be enjoyed.
[webnavoz_rating id=48208]The Green Mile
Directed by: Frank Darabont
Genre: Drama
Year of issue: 1999
Another incredibly good job. Frank Darabont Based on another book by Stephen King. By the way, the film adaptation is extremely accurate, so the king of horrors simply had nothing to complain about, the director even tried to keep most of the dialogues. "Green Mile" - a classic of the genre that did not receive an Oscar, but the audience appreciated the picture and awarded it with the main trophy - their attention.
The film is set in a block for prisoners on death row. Each has its own history and character. Overseers aren't without sympathy, but that's just their job. Everything changes when they bring you to the barracks John Coffey - a huge black guy with supernatural powers. It is difficult to believe in the guilt of this man, because he is incredibly kind and sincere with people.
In the Green Mile every character is well crafted, therefore, throughout the duration of the film, it is extremely interesting to watch. The atmosphere itself does not conducive to joyful events, and an impressionable viewer will consider many scenes frankly cruel. The film makes us understand that death is inevitable, but everyone walks their green mile in their own way.
The picture touches upon issues of humanity, philanthropy, compassion. It is almost impossible to watch The Green Mile and remain indifferent, seeing the horror and desperation of the situation, the viewer, for sure, change his attitude towards the people around him and stop worrying about trifles.
[webnavoz_rating id=48209]Route 60
Directed by: Bob Gale
Genre: Drama
Year of issue: 2001
Picture "Highway 60" is not another drama saturated with bitterness and flavored with hopeless situations. We have a parable, which a priori should be instructive. To the credit of the creators of the tape, so it happened! By its very existence, the film refutes the opinion that American cinema is mired in tons of special effects and toilet humor.
Neil Oliver receives a unique offer - to take a trip along Route 60, which is hard to find on maps. The guy is promised to answer all questions, as well as provide an opportunity find an attractive stranger from his dreams. Neil embarks on a journey and meets various people who do not appear at all by chance.
In fact, each companion of Oliver poses a question to the main character, which is difficult to answer unambiguously. However, Neil gets clues, learns a lot from interacting with people and begins to understand much more than before. An attentive viewer also finds answers to some questions, because the parable really plays the role of a kind of guide and allows a person to solve difficult moral dilemmas.
[webnavoz_rating id=48210]Vanilla Sky
Directed by: Cameron Crowe
Genre: Romance
Year of issue: 2001
An atypical melodrama that can be described as a puzzle. The picture boasts a stellar cast: Thoma Cruise, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Kurt russell. Cameron Crowe managed to create a rather confusing story that makes you think at each new stage about really important things.
David successful - he has influential friends, a chic house, a pretty girlfriend. Everything changes when in his life appears Sofia, which conquered the main character to the core. During an argument with an old girlfriend, David gets into a car accident, gets seriously injured and his whole life flies downhill. Also, strange visions do not allow distinguishing reality from fiction.
Have you ever wondered why certain people are around you? The first part of the film directly gives an understanding that appearance and success are the main magnets, without which a person loses attractiveness in the eyes of society. Then the viewer plunges into the whirlpool of romantic relationships, they also pose a number of questions and dilemmas for us. Well, the last intrigue - happy illusion or bleak reality? The choice seems rather difficult.
[webnavoz_rating id=48211]Peekaboo
Directed by: John Paulson
Genre: horror
Year of issue: 2005
Let's diversify our selection with horrors, especially since the great Robert DeNirowho chooses films very carefully. John Paulson managed to create a tape that is fully consistent with its genre, but the presence of a top actor and moral background makes the movie a very atypical example among similar films.
In life David hard times came - his wife left this world, and his daughter, amid stress, hopelessly closed herself from the world. Soon little Emily announced her new imaginary friend, Charlie. The father is only happy if it’s easier for the girl to cope with experiences. However, over time, it becomes clear that the baby's friend is not at all a harmless fiction, moreover, he is quite may be a real person.
There are no abstruse phrases and psychological terms. "Peekaboo" - a story as close as possible to ordinary life, in which a father and daughter are trying to survive a common grief - each in his own way. Unfortunately, sad events invariably leave a special imprint on a person and it is difficult to figure out what is true and where is insanity. The picture in an accessible form tells us how much care should be taken in relation to their loved ones.
[webnavoz_rating id=48212]Until I played in the box
Directed by: Rob Reiner
Genre: Drama
Year of issue: 2007
It may seem to a movie fan that we have "Knockin 'on Heaven" at the "maximum speed" and this opinion is not deprived of the right to life. Starring mastodons of the acting workshop - Morgan Freeman и Jack Nicholson. Rumor has it that the script of the picture was written in just a couple of weeks, this is not surprising, because the story is rather banal.
Edward и Carter only a few months left to live. Elderly people are not going to sit in a hospital room and patiently wait in the wings - they embark on dizzying adventures, wanting to break away in the end. Buddy's plan succeeds to the fullestOr maybe it turned out even better than they expected.
The film once again convinces us of the value of every day of human life. Enjoy reality, create, travel, do your favorite things until you play the game! The main advantage of the tape - no tragedy and cheap audience tears. Men to the last retain a sense of humor and enjoy life, sending the impending death not in the background.
[webnavoz_rating id=48213]Areas of darkness
Directed by: Neil Berger
Genre fiction
Year of issue: 2011
Another non-trivial film about the abilities of the human brain was shot by Neil Berger. The scandalous Shia LaBeouf, but was injured and was replaced by Bradley Cooper. I must say, with the actor, the creators of the tape hit the very target. It's no secret that Cooper himself was an unemployed loser for a long time., so in this role looked extremely organic.
Have a famous writer Eddie huge difficulties - the inspiration left the man, and the publishing house urgently requires results. Pills NZT extension become an unexpected but effective solution to the problem. Eddie's business is gradually going uphill, but also addiction develops. In addition, the mafia and agents begin to hunt for the writer, because he is not the only one who needs the miraculous drug.
The main idea that can be traced in the film - you have to pay for everything. Each good has its price, and it can be unbearable for an ordinary person. Also, attention is paid to the problem of the modern lifestyle of a big city, the brain simply does not have enough resources to analyze a ton of information coming to the layman.
