Has no REAL life! (3017)
So I thought we'd have a topic about the movies we've seen recently and enjoyed.
I'll start with my two last good ones.

Das Leben der Anderen

It's hard to find a movie about socialism that doesn't become moralising or downright depressing. This one on the other hand is brilliant in it's approach.
The action takes place in GDR, 4 years before the Wall fell. It depicts the struggle between the totalitarian mentality and the free-thinking communism-cockroaches, the artists. A Stasi Captain gets caught in the middle of this. The man is an idealist, a socialist at heart, a member of the party because he believes in the doctrine. He finds out though that his superiors don't share the same beliefs, that for them socialism is only a pretext for personal privelege. This paves the way for his walk of struggle with his job, himself, his superior, the regime.
The movie covers a lot more though, from day-to-day life in a country run by military police, how the secret police worked and so on.
I'd say it's close to flawlesly produced, very well written and fills the whole 137m brilliantly. Also I can't remember the last time I've seen an ending so fitting for a dramatic movie.


Annie Hall

I'm not a big fan of Woody Allen movies, mostly because once you've seen a couple of them you've pretty much seen them all.
This one however has to be his best. A neurotic approach to love, the oversaturating analysis of relationships and character traits, how beauty flows but is always subject to change (change wich will most likely kick you in the groin) and some absolutely fabulous one-liners. I also had no ideea Diane Keaton was such a fox in her days.

Does it have to be recently? :<
Old or not, if you like anime (or even if you don't) Princess Mononoke should be seen by all, one of my favorites :)

Ah, gentlemen ... You have no idea what about good movies. Watched this few weeks ago and enjoyed it a lot.

P.S.: Sorry for trolling, but I usually watch movies for fun and pick comedies/action movies, don't know anything serious.
