“The Patriot” Movie Review
“The Patriot” Plot Summary
Peaceful farmer Benjamin Martin is driven to lead the Colonial Militia during the American Revolution when a sadistic British officer murders his son.
Best Movie
‘The Patriot’ was an amazing thrill ride. With outstanding performances from Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger, and many others, ‘The Patriot’ was hands down the best movie i have ever seen. The old revolutionary war scenes and battles make this movie a tremendous action film. It is also topped off with some amazing drama. The acting in this movie was just unbelievable, which helps make this the best War Movie i have ever seen.

“Doctor Zhivago” Movie Review
“Doctor Zhivago” Plot Summary
Life of a Russian doctor/poet who, although married, falls for a political activist’s wife and experiences hardships during the Bolshevik Revolution. add synopsis
Beautiful! …Warning, it’s long though.
‘Doctor Zhivago’ is a beautifully shot and told movie. The movie follows the main character for almost his entire life and a lot happens in that life! A bit too much perhaps, for ‘Doctor Zhivago’ is a long movie that is 3 hours+ long (depending on which version you’re watching). Best way to view this movie is in parts, that’s why I also have the feeling that the movie would had come better to its right if it had been made as a mini-series instead. Still ‘Doctor Zhivago’ is a masterfully done classic that in some ways is also a quite revolutionary one, from a movie technical point of view
The story is absolutely brilliant! I just love how in this movie lots of things and events are connected to each other. The story is truly what gives the movie an epic like feeling and is what makes this movie the classic that it is regarded as, present day. Leave it up to director David Lean to tell and film a great story. Before this movie he already showed those skills with classic movies such as ‘The Bridge on the River Kwai’ and ‘Lawrence of Arabia’, which I regard as one of the best movies ever made
Visaully the movie is splendid. There are some good sets and beautiful landscapes that perfectly captures the mood and spirit of the time period the movie is set in. Further more the movie has some good make-up and costumes but the most brilliant thing about the look of the movie is the cinematography by Freddie Young and director/cinematographer Nicolas Roeg. Some of the cinematography is new and refreshing for its time and is truly an unique experience to look at
The movie is well casted. Omar Sharif is unforgettable as Yuri Zhivago and he plays the role of his life. Also unforgettable was Rod Steiger in the villainous role of Victor Komarovsky. Alec Guinness is also in this movie, teaming up once more with the director, David Lean
A lot happens in this movie and that’s the reason why the movie feels longer than it even is. This is my only real complaint about this movie and is the reason that prevents me from rating this movie with a perfect 10 out of 10.9/10

“Saving Private Ryan” Plot Summary
Following the Normandy Landings, a group of US soldiers go behind enemy lines to retrieve a paratrooper whose brothers have been killed in action.
Spielberg is God
Even thinking about this film gives me the chills , well,like practically everything Mr. Spielberg has done in his career , lifting the American movie into the cinematic heaven . Hopefully , many movies are still ahead of him , the greatest artist ever, no doubt !There is nothing new to say about Saving Private Ryan , after so many years , except that perhaps it ought to become the must study subject for anyone interested in military history or history as such , because ,friend,
it cannot go any gorier than this , that is, any more realistic than this ( watch Rambo 4 , When Trumpets Fade , Windtalkers ). Saving P.R. has somehow created a new genre of films , that is ultra-realistic war movie that transcends anything solely written, in fact , as has always been the case with Mr. Spielberg, literature gets its visual manifestation, where even Shakespeare would pipe down and bow in reverence ! Even 10 is not enough , simply no numerical quality, unit , exists to describe the sheer power of this cinematic experience , not even the designation ‘film ‘itself can do this ! Angelic, stratospheric , out of this dimension , Mona Lisa in cinema !

“Zwartboek” Plot Summary
In the Nazi-occupied Netherlands during World War II, a Jewish singer infiltrates the regional Gestapo headquarters for the Dutch resistance.
a must see !
I just saw the movie and I loved it, the actors are fantastic, especially Carice Van Houten, who really carries the movie. I’d never seen her in a movie before and she is quite a revelation, I really hope to see more of her
As for Verhoeven, his come-back to the Netherlands paid off. The production is flawless, the action scenes are very well done, and he brings out the best of his cast. The movie captures perfectly the madness of the time, you can’t tell the good guys from the bad guys,there is nothing manipulative or Manichean in this movie,everything is not black and white. Not all Germans are monsters, the resist ants can be assholes and heroes lonely people who just try to survive.

“The Deer Hunter” Movie Review
“The Deer Hunter” Plot Summary
An in-depth examination of the way that the Vietnam war affects the lives of people in a small industrial town in the USA.
An unforgettable movie.
This is a movie with a touching story about friendship and most of all in shows the horror of the Vietnam war. This movie has some of the best acting performances I have seen,and I am of course talking about Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken. They really goes into their roles and creates a great atmosphere. This movie also contains one of the most famous scenes in movie history,the russian roulett scene
This scene is so intense and creepy to watch. One of the few great Vietnam movies ever.

“Apocalypse Now” Movie Review
“Apocalypse Now” Plot Summary
During the on-going Vietnam War, Captain Willard is sent on a dangerous mission into Cambodia to assassinate a renegade Green Beret who has set himself up as a God among a local tribe.
Truly a Masterpiece
Somewhere on IMDb there is a discussion about the greatest director of all times (Spielberg, Copolla and others are named there). The greatest argument was around Spielberg and whether he is or isn’t a great director. The problem with Spielberg is that while he is a master technician, most of his films lack depth
Saving Ryan is really outstanding from a technical point of view, but its message is dull and while its very entertaining, it doesn’t make you think about anything. AN is the best movie I ever saw because it combines great shooting with a deep philosophical perspective on so many things, starting from war in general, the clash of civilizations, the condition of soldier in wartimes (is a soldier a hero or an assassin? Brando says he is neither, the french lady says he is both …) and many others. The problem with some people is that they try to argue about whether these points are true or false. But a great movie, and a great piece of art in general is supposed to spark arguments, not to solve them … Maybe Coppola is right, or maybe he isn’t, nobody holds the truth anyway. You can watch this movie for its outer beauty, amazing scenes, great acting and memorable quotes and you will be entirely satisfied. But what really make this movie a masterpiece is its inner quality. You can’t help but make a comparison with the recent Fahrenheit documentary
Both Copolla and Moore tackle similar issues, but while Copolla presents matters from an outside , objective point of view, Moore takes a very partisan position that really compromises the whole point of a documentary … It is really a shame that a film like Fahrenheit 9/11 won a prestigious award like Cannes. But anyway, if you want to start to understand a little of the Vietnam war, the Iraq war, the second World War and any war in general, you should definitely see this movie, and not the other one …

“Black Hawk Down” Movie Review
“Black Hawk Down” Plot Summary
123 elite U.S. soldiers drop into Somalia to capture two top lieutenants of a renegade warlord and find themselves in a desperate battle with a large force of heavily-armed Somalis. |
The best and most realistic war movie ever made.
As you may know already, this movie is based on facts. A faction of Somali militia that was hostile to foreign presence in Mogadishu murdered 24 UN peace-keepers. The starvation would kill 200,000 people.
The UN could only call for help to the USA, and at that time, Bill Clinton sent US Special Forces like Rangers, Delta Force and Navy SEALs to capture the leaders of the hostile militia.
When the US General Garrison had reliable information about Mohamed Farrah Aidid local allies’ location, American soldiers went for them.
In the most brilliant direction work, Ridley Scott portrays a band of brothers overwhelmingly outnumbered, who end up fighting for life in the worst moments of the raid.
When you watch this movie, you cannot avoid feeling a deep connection to those young men, who keep heading forward to complete the job. Every detail in this movie is awesome. There’s a time when you realize what heroism means- I’m talking about Randy Shughart and Gary Gordon. These two brave men payed the ultimate sacrifice just trying to rescue a pilot who’s chopper crashed in a hostile area. They made it- Mike Durant, the pilot, is alive today. This is what I call American heroism.
After watching this movie I was speechless, stunned. Now, I respect more than ever American servicemen. Thankyou for all the good causes you have been fighting everywhere.

“Brothers” Movie Review
“Brothers” Plot Summary
A young man comforts his older brother’s wife and children after he goes missing in Afghanistan. add synopsis
Very moving drama on family bonds and war, very well acted and deeply felt
American cinematography seems to be in strong need of movies exorcising the horror of war (I think of ‘In the valley of Elah’), through the depiction of family stories, showing how war may affect deeply and often destroy the lives of soldiers and their families
There’s still much American pride in that flag waving from the first scene, and much sense of honour in laying down one’s life for the sake of the country. However, the damage brought about by war on the emotional and psychological life of this family, puts everything into question, and in the end, controversial thoughts and feelings are aroused, mainly when we perceive that the edge between good and evil is so narrow and difficult to establish. The cast is outstanding, and their contained, never excessive interpretations prevents the movie from verging on the too melodramatic. Natalie Portman handles her difficult character very carefully and convincingly, Toby Macguire, does a great work, mainly considering his background of lighter roles, Jake Gyllenhaal is good, but less convincing, being his development too quick. Also the always impeccable Tom Shepard could have given more if his character would have been given more space. The little girl playing Isabelle is surprisingly noteworthy. It is a very tear-jerking movie, although every emotion is filtered in a delicate way. In the end I get comforted by the idea that family bonds, no matter how fragile and difficult, are the only certain, real thing from which to start in order to try to find a sense, where a sense seems to be lost forever. A really worth seeing-movie.

“Born on the Fourth of July” Movie Review
“Born on the Fourth of July” Plot Summary
The biography of Ron Kovic. Paralyzed in the Vietnam war, he becomes an anti-war and pro-human rights political activist after feeling betrayed by the country he fought for.
A forgotten masterpiece!
This has to be one of the the best war films I have ever seen. Where ‘Saving Private Ryan’ fell into a whirlpool of schmaltz or where ‘The Deer Hunter’ caught ‘bad ending’ syndrome, ‘Born’ stood out. It is also the best Oliver Stone film I have ever seen. Where ‘Platoon’ looked cheap and lacked characterisation, where ‘JFK’ felt smothered in special guest cameos, where ‘Natural Born Killers’ looked silly and cartoonish and well, where ‘Scarface’ was just plain shameful, ‘Born On the Fourth of July’ stands out above all of these titles. It confronts you with the true, unrelenting horrors of the Vietnam war with the use of disturbing flashback sequences, kinetically energetic gun battles and slow-motion violence
This film also proved that Cruise was an artistically satisfying actor as well as a commercial one (think ‘Top Gun’). I think we can all agree that this was definitely his tour de force (and, if you’re a ‘Usual Suspects’ fan, you can actually spot Stephen ‘McManus’ Baldwin in the scene where Ronnie and his friends are discussing their futures in a cafe). Sorry if I went a little off the topic at hand there, but I thought some of you might find that interesting. Anyway, if I had to summarise ‘Born On the Fourth of July’ in a few words I’d say something along the lines of really, really, really good or more poetically, moving and unforgettable.
