Cele 10 filme ale anului
Daca vreti sa va tineti la curent cu filmele americane si anglo-saxone, nu exista critic mai bun si mai pe inteles ca Roger Ebert.
Cronicile lui sunt superbe prin simplitate, putere de sinteza si judecatile de valoare precise, pline de umanitate si patrundere. Il citesc ori de cite ori am nevoie de o "orientare pe teren." (Desi nu pot sa spun ca sunt de acord 100% cu afirmatiile lui).
List celor mai bune 10 filme ale anului 2005 (according to Ebert, RSS feed-ul sau poate fi gasit aici), in citeva cuvinte:
1. "Crash": There was once a simple morality formula in America in which white society was racist and blacks were victims, but that model is long obsolete. Now many more players have entered the game: Latinos, Asians, Muslims, and those defined by sexual orientation, income, education or appearance. 2. "Syriana": Stephen Gaghan's film doesn't reveal the plot, but surrounds us with it: all of the players in the oil game are corrupt and compromised, and in some bleak sense must be, in order to defend their interests -- and ours. 3. "Munich": Stephen Spielberg's film may be the bravest of the year... He has the courage to suggest that some of Israel's post-Munich policies have not made it a better or safer place. 4. "Junebug": At last, a movie about ordinary people. Or put it this way: Phil Morrison's "Junebug" was the best non-geopolitical film of the year... "Junebug" is a great film because it is a true film. It understands that families are complicated, and their problems are not solved during a short visit, just in time for the happy ending... 5. "Brokeback Mountain": Two cowboys in Wyoming discover to their surprise that they love each other... "You know I ain't queer," Ennis tells Jack after their first night together. "Me, neither," says Jake. 6. "Me and You and Everyone We Know": It's a comedy about falling in love with someone who speaks your rare emotional language of playfulness and daring, of playful mind games and bold challenges. 7. "Nine Lives": Rodrigo Garcia's film involves nine stories told in a total of nine shots. It is not a stunt. Most audiences will probably never notice that each scene is told in one shot, although they will sense the tangible passage of real time. 8. "King Kong": Peter Jackson's triumph is not a remake of the 1933 classic so much as a celebration of its greatness and a flowering of its possibilities. Its most particular contribution is in the area of the heart: It transforms the somewhat creepy relationship of the gorilla and the girl into a celebration of empathy, in which a vaudeville acrobat (Naomi Watts) intuitively understands that when Kong roars he isn't threatening her but stating his territorial dominance; she responds with acrobatics that delight him, not least because Kong has been a gorilla few have ever tried to delight. 9. "Yes": An elegant Irish-American woman, living with a rich and distant British politician, makes eye contact with a waiter. Neither turns away. Their sex is eager and makes them laugh. 10. "Millions": Nine-year-old Anthony Cunningham and his 7-year-old brother, Damian (Lewis McGibbon and Alex Etel) find a bag containing loot that bounced off a train and is currently stuffed under their bed. With limitless imagination and joy, the film follows the brothers as they deal with their windfall.
