Since I set this goal, I saw Life Is Beautiful. I must cornily say, “Move is beautiful”. I can’t believe how deeply I was swept into the shoes of the father in such a grim situation. And it was so beautiful and admirable how he brought such gusto into shielding his son from the harsh realities around him. It’s a fantastic movie that takes you through a sea of emotions – but the subject matter is a little tough to get through, so 4.5/5.
Brazil was a bit of cult movie from what I understand. I could see the unique story line would appeal to people. When I watched it though I wasn’t in the perfect mood for a science fiction tale, so I’d give it a pass mark only – 3/5.
