Another Round (2020)

 Starring- Mads Mikkelsen, Magnus Millang, Thomas Bo Larson, Maria Bonnevie.

Directed By- Thomas Vintenberg.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Martin- "The world is never what you expect it to be".



The film has a very simple plot- Four high school teachers who feel they are not giving their 100% to the students have started to consume alcohol on a daily basis to see how it affects their social and professional lives. This movie deals with alcoholism, depression, suicide, divorce, and dealing with growing old, it somehow manages to exude nothing short of pure joy and love of life.



Mads' character is the one particularly focused on as he is the one who has the most to gain from the experiment, dealing with communication/social issues between his students and his family. The way his eyes showecased a broken soul as the parents and students confronted him. And that uncertainty and fright in his eyes as he started the alcohol experiment with his friends which turned out to bring much joy later in the movie.


That last scene is gonna take the cinematic experience to another level! Believe me, it would blow you away. Watch this movie folks; this is definitely gonna brighten your day and might leave you on a high.
My Rating- 7/10

The Pianist (2002)

Image
  Starring - Adrien Brody, Emilia Fox, Thomas Kretschmann, Frank Finaly, Ed Stoppard. Directed by - Roman Polanski. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Władysław Szpilman-  “The life of a human being, let alone his personal freedom, is a matter of no importance. But the love of freedom is native to every human being and every nation, and cannot be suppressed in the long term. History teaches us that tyranny has never endured. And now we have blood-guilt on our conscience for the dreadful injustice of murdering the Jewish inhabitants.” Everything that happens in this film is so sad. Especially if you are a history buff. Please, I think this film should be in the top 10 best films of all time. World War II is one of the most frightening wars in history, if you read more about The Holocaust, you get more into it and you should. If you are not interested, then watch this film. It's a must see, otherwise how els...

The Irishman (2019)

Image
Starring- Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Ray Romano and Al Pacino.  Directed By- Martin Scorsese ----------------------------------------------------- Jimmy Hoffa - "I heard you paint houses" Frank Sheeran:  Yes. Yes, sir, I do. I do. And I, uh, I also do my own carpentry. If you are a fan of watching crime, gangster movies which are based on a true story then The Irishman is the best thing to binge. And in order to fully appreciate the movie, you gotta watch it more than once. Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro yet again collaborate to present a masterpiece.  The best thing about The Irishman is that it keeps you on the edge despite being a 210 minutes long movie. The CGI in the movie is absolutely perfect. Over the period of 50 years being shown in the movie, you can easily recognise the change in the characters facial expressions (De Niro and Joe Pesci).  The story revolves around Frank Sheeran (De Niro) who started as a truck driver, then gets recruited by Russell Ba...

 Starring- Ralph Fiennes, Tony Revolori, Aiden Brody, Edward Norton, Sairose Rogan, Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, Willem Dafoe, Tilda Swinton, Harvey Keitel, Jude Law, F. Murray Abraham, and Owen Wilson. Directed By- Wes Anderson. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ M. Gustave- " She Needs Me, And I Need You, To Help Me With My Bags And So On." Welcome to the Grand Budapest Hotel. We recount the story of a lobby boy and the main concierge of the titular hotel who gets in way over their heads. This is personally my favourite Wes Anderson movie out of all his inspiring creations. I love how the movie is divided into chapters and how each has a straightforward storyline driving it forward. There is humour, romance, absurdness and generally breathtaking, meticulously-constructed scenes as usual. From the start of the film it is clear that you are watching a Wes Anderson film. The colour palette and set design are obvious visual clues for t...
