My long absence

February 9, 2009

Well as I am sure that I don’t have a permanent reader, I don’t bother to say “Oh, sorry. I was ….. blah balh”. Here I am back :D

I want to talk about great movies I’ve watch lately. The first one is “The Curios Case of Benjamin Button” (imdb, wiki)directed by David Fincher. I like the whole idea of movie and also all plays were natural and smooth. One of the things that I like was a scene which Benjamin counted all subsequent things that happened and finally lead to a car accident.  He said if just one of those things didn’t happen then that accident would not happen. Movie’s last scene also was very moving, it makes you to feel sorry for Benjamin and to appreciate the life the way as it is.

The second great movie I watched was Slumdog Millionaire (imdb, wiki), again the idea of movie’s plot was very creative. Two parallel stories were flowing in the movie, one was the life of a young Indian boy and the second was a TV show which he was its guest. At the end of movie, those two threads reach a shred point and his life was merged with the show. The idea of remembering some of his life moments to answer questions in the show was neat.

Both of these movies are nominated for the Best Picture award in the 2009 Academy Award Contest. I can say for sure this year the nominated movies are much better than last year’s movies.
