Rain Man


the film is about a deep tale of 2 two brothers, the simple premise of the movie  is:  Charlie is a wealthy prick who wants his fathers money and finds his autistic brother, who he has never met, has it all, taking him away from his home illegally Charlie wants  all of the money and soon begins to make a relationship with Rayman. in its simplest form it is a road trip film but tat is what makes it great it is a road trip film dressed with many different genres and a lot of themes with a beautiful story to tell utilising Tom Cruises pearly whites and Hoffman's amazing acting. There are multiple themes to this movie: family is more important than greed, in this movie it depicts Tom Cruise as a complete dick who has as much self envy and ego to fill 2 Olympic swimming pools, he soon finds his brother through greed of his dead father's money and slowly throughout the first 3 quarters of the way through he beings to want to keep his  brother more than get the money. Sometimes a hinder is actually a help; in the movie Dustin Hoffman is shown to have autism and Charlie (Tom Cruise) thinks he's retarded. But Rayman can count how many toothpicks have fallen on the floor out of a jar of 150, he can count cards in a deck and he can remember random peoples phone numbers from a phone book. Showing that in fact Rayman may not show too much emotion but he is smarter than A lot of people. If you really love family then you'll know what's best for them not just for you; this shows at the very end of the movie (spoiler warning) and is tear jerkingly sad/happy, at the end Charlie takes Rayman to the doctor who looked after Rayman and Charlie loves Rayman and doeskin want to let him go but then he decides it's the right thing to do and lets Rayman go back home to the nursing center.the movie is an exiting deep slightly funny - thing... it has some sad moments and it has some amazingly happy moments and funny moments, what I'm trying to get across is that its mass of things that make up one huge amazing bundle    of a movie that slots together perfectly into an amazing experience to enjoy with a box of tissues and a bag of popcorn, Why? because the movie shows how deep a road trip film can be when put together properly it is a heart warming tale and your sure to enjoy every second of it.

The Italian Job

The movie (if you cant tell) is a comedy / heist movie / car chase and it benefits greatly from that making a brilliant movie about a team of rapscallions. It is an an amazing heist film ( BTW I'm talking' 1969 here so if you haven't watched the original you may not get this review ...) of is a very British movie with a very British soundtrack and a very British feel.
The end of the movie  is a literal cliffhanger and made me just go ballistic, like Forest Gump, but even more so because the main character charlie (who is literally like a dad to a bunch of toddlers) says hold on I've got a plan. I hate it because there was supposed to be a sequel but it was never made, it was going to be called the Brazilian job and the start would feature the real ending of The Italian Job. which in this case drives me crazy. the British feel of this movie is that this movie remembers Britannia as an evil superpower, setting up that in the late 60s when England was in decline and the country was in debt and Italy was gaining tons of money from the Chinese in gold. this movie shows british gangsters beating the mafia at their own game in their own backyard showing how strong britan is. also they showed mini-coopers like they would show bulldogs as in we are proud to have something very ugly to show our nationality. all heist movies have the same plot: set up an intricate plan with precise detail, do the job and human error gets in the way. what human error is in this movie is that they do The Italian Job and at the very end of the film the driver nearly throws the bus over the edge of the cliff. Why? because he made a Human Error.
"i only told you to blow the bloody doors off!!!!" is probably one of the most memorable lines  In this movie. there are many moments where people say "what the F**K!?!" in confusion as this happens you will notice that the movie has some terrible logic: here are the getaway vehicles ... a bus 3 mini coopers and an Indian coach? oh... 70s Italy,  how can a bike destroy a main power box? oh... 70s Italy but as i said Italy in the 70s was weird. my favorite part of the movie is when their driving down the tunnel and that guy grabs a chicken from the window. as seen here. I also love the lines at the funeral: if you fail the job then don't come back to Britain unless your in a coffin. the computer expert is perverted and Benny Hill ( Benny hill would start to like big women because its easier to chase them!) All in all  it is a film i think that everyone should experience not because its deep or moving but because its a bundle of British fun


les visiteurs


the title of the movie (if you cant tell) translates to the visitors

the movie is a dark and moving comedy. The premise of the movie is that modern day 1990s is visited by a knight and his assistant. they milked the preise for the most funniest  most hilarious parts and they mostly did an amazing job thats why it is a funny comedy film like the movie delicatessen you'll love this if you like shallow plots and dark humor , it is also a good movie and an even better thing to help with learning french One of my favorite parts was at the very beginning where the assistant sees a post truck and calls his master so that they can destroy it calling the devils chariot. making use of a well milked premise. like the car they ruin everything modern  around them. including many many random objects like torches that are actually wall lamps, a barbecue in  progress and an entire room in their once old castle now a vintage hotel. As depicted in the film the knight and their assistant find there ancestors and the noble knight finds his great great great great great great etc. etc. grand daughter who he thinks is his soon to be wife, this makes very awkward moments making the viewer laugh their heads off.  The knight then tries to get back to his own time by finding a ancestor of the wizard  who accidentally sent them to the future where they are instantly have no idea how modern technology works again pushing some hilarious moments. these two people don't know what a sink is or what a toilet is !!!  the main character at the end (not really spoilers) gets all the modern swear words and starts to use them as is catchphrase... his original catchphrase was all about justice and peace but after the adventure its just a compilation of modern day sayings followed by cusses and at the end probably the most repeated line of all... OKAAAYYY. as you can see the movie isn't very deep, made purely for laughs the people who made this knew that their movie wasn't going to be serious at all so  they tried to milk out as many funny moments as possible making this french comedy a must see for french students with a sense of humor
