                                                       The Adjustment Bureau


STARRING:» Matt Damon  Emily Blunt» Terence Stamp» John Slattery» Shohreh Aghdashloo


DIRECTOR:» George Nolfi


DURATION:» 105 minutes
A politician and a ballerina in love at first sight but can not seem to be those that determine their lives. The plan for both is different and a group of people control the destiny placed in the middle and try to separate them. The David (Matt Damon) begins a struggle against the agents of fate, the men of The Adjustment Bureau, to defend his love for Elise (Emily Blunt). I managed to change their destiny or will back down and accept the determination of other future?

The debut of screenwriter George Nolfi to the direction followed by a romantic science fiction with a strong existential quest. The issue of control of human destiny with the parameters of free will and unconstrained choice, is outdated. They have spent tons of ink from clerics, thinkers and writers of all kinds, like a film and theatrical years on this issue. In «The Adjustment Bureau» try a partly realistic, but overflowing with imagination, to show us his own thinking. He enlists police adventure elements to explain that his destiny is controlled and maintained by agents like those of the FBI. God is the boss, who disappointed in the results of human progress, when it granted them free will, again took control and writes the destiny of all, not to destroy the human race. Until mankind to contradict. What is the driving force? Of course Eros. The invincible in battle ...

The script does not do a great impression. The carriage is a bit more complicated, since it combines with chasing love story with political and existential. Reminiscent of the little «Inception» and more «Vanilla Sky», mainly to replace the pre-resolute reality with a more ideal. In a sense it is not bad. We say that a concept moves into mediocrity. For the male audience can certainly climb and level. That's why Emily Blunt is more beautiful than ever ...

Her face will be the envy of even the angels. The body is earthy and very attractive. The presence of vivid and erotic. The scenes that occurred left us with an open mouth. We do not want to exaggerate, but not watched much of the rest of cast ...

If we add all the elements, the film is interesting. It has a clever mind, a novel presentation of a classic theme and a female presence that are breathtaking. Not that I need and more. Entertainment, mainly entertainment ...


                                                        

                                                         Barney's Version


STARRING:» Paul Giamatti » Dustin Hoffman bio» Rosamund Pike» Minnie Driver» Rachelle Lefevre


DIRECTOR:» Richard J. Lewis


DURATION:134 minutes                                                             
Many weigh on his mind 60ari Barney Panofsky (Paul Giamatti): a turbulent life with three divorces and two children, a shadow from the past who still blame him for the vicious murder of a friend (Scott Speedman) in his youth, and Alzheimer's strikes him most loudly on the door. Before you erase the memories, was asked to remember and take us through his version regarding the important people and events that mark him. Starting from the bohemian years in Rome, the three women in his life (Rachelle Lefevre, Minnie Driver and Rosamund Pike), a veteran cop eccentric yet loving father (Dustin Hoffman) and several others entering and leaving out the world of Barney a man who has the insatiable and self-destruction in his blood.

Even the very late the Richler passionately wanted to see the award-winning book «Barney's Version» be transferred to the cloth on the cover of which had worked closely with his good friend Robert Lantos (producer). When Michael Konyves (writer) impressed by the book, looked for the rights, fell - for good luck - on the Lantos and the already well-established vision of the songs. Plus, he needed just one inspirational motivation, like that of Konyves to get the whole project at the stage of pre-production.

A decade after the death of Richler and his dream comes true, with the «Barney's Version» coming out in theaters. The Richard J. Lewis, director of video mostly shows (CSI) undertook a project with special sentimental value for many stakeholders. It is worth noting that the film made cameo appearances known to friends, fans and colleagues of the author (see David Cronenberg, Atom Egoyan, Denys Arcand).

In this overall load expectations, Lewis delivers an honest, intensely bittersweet drama with strong comedic elements equally, attentive to detail (a great job on makeup by Morot), which reaches the highest possible level through some great performances. The first and best anyway great Paul Giamatti in the role of an eternally immature, kinda cute but egomaniac, cynical and ultimately tragic hero that moves and angers the public simultaneously.

From a short distance below the worshiped Dustin Hoffman who never stops playing with heart and boundless talent, while the lovely Rosamund Pike, the role of the ideal - literally - a woman gives change. Returns the utopian theory of heroine with such realism that it is practically impossible not to admire in every shot - not to say that we love her - and is also a major reason that the soul of his character Giamatti reaches its maximum depth through interaction with her. The trend, moreover, their relationship is hiding and turning point of the film, and to some extent one could argue for a moment that follows a quirky romantic comedy with a typical happy-end. The rest of the story, of course, holds that most ignore rom-com, what follows the 'happy' finale: the painful reality.

A typical sample of writing a movie character, where the shots work as faithful servants, of showing with respect as they come alive ekmaiefontas media from the pages of a distinguished literary work, «Barney's Version» is a movie that no prisoner ever to the limits of a single species. Starts balancing between the distinctive feel-good film and lighthearted mystery to evolve gradually into one - in some heartbreaking - drama that never loses touch with the comic - tragic irony to the point - point. Definitely has a lot to say in his soul (30 +) male viewer, but excludes the corresponding female audience. Besides, the hectic life of a man who precipitated as always ignore the importance of self-knowledge and wanted more than they had, I do not think leaving many indifferent.
