"21"


I'm gonna talk about the film "21". This film makes me amazing because it's a real story and you can't image that the events in the film were real and glamorous. I like the film because it gets adolescents attention and it was fascinating. Las Vegas and numbers makes the film so special and you didn't get bored from "math" in this film.

In the film 21, there is a student whose name is Ben, studies at M.I.T. and wants to go to Harward Med. butthe only obstacle is money needed for this university which costs 300,ooo$. Ben is a genius and likes numbers. While he thinks about how to earn the money for school, with his friends advices he goes to Las Vegas to easily earn money. He will play blackjack(21) with counting the numbers on the game and because of he is genius he earns a lot of money and his money is enough to go to Harvard Med. but his proffessor steals his money because he don't give his contribution on the game and later he deals with his proffessor and again starts to play 21 again and he talks with owner of the casino to to corral his proffessor because he is counting the numbers which is illegal and wants to get his money and go to Harward Med. After his professor catched by owner of the casino, the boss take Ben's money too and he is where he first starts. He calls upon to get scholarship from Harward Med. and the rector said that only one student get this scholarship who has a really interesting story in his/her life and he told about this appearance and finally he gets the scholarship and starts to study in Harward.

In the film 21, there are many experience you can learn from Ben's appereances. In my opinion this is a good film for adolescents for how to behave and also shows the ways of using intelligence. You should watch this movie if you like to play 21 and learn about the world of numbers and intelligence.

“Pursuit Of Happyness”


It was a very touching movie, which I have ever seen in my life. I have seen plenty of movies but I cried once while I am watching a movie. The movie name was "Pursuit of Happyness (the wrongly spelt title comes from graffiti on a day centre's wall)". I really liked to movie because Chris Gardner (Will Smith) and his son (Jaden Christopher Syre Smith) never gave up. They faced against many problems but they have never been pessimistic. They always saw the full side of the glasses. In the movie Will smith boss asked to Will Smith, what would you say, if you want to hire someone who has not smart shirt. Will Smith answer was perfect, I would say, you have a very smart trousers. He was also very clever. He did not graduate from college. However, he succeeded to become a stockbroker. In the beginning, he did not have any money but at the end, he earned a million dollar. His wife (Thandie Newton) leaves, he is evicted from his apartment and the light does not work in the public loo where he's taken his son to sleep. This movie shows us how you can beat the life.

love me if you dare


Jeux d'efants which transleted to English "Love me if you dare" is the best romantic film I have ever seen. It is not only a love story, it includes different part of the life. It captured my attention with the unusual story. It is not a classic love movie, it is moving, on the other hand it is humorous. Before I watched this film, I had not love French movies but this movie changed my opinion. It is really incomparable that's why I suggest everyone to watch it.


I want to summarize this film: From childhood, Julien and Sophie play a game which effect their all life. They always bet, they want from each other to do hard and funny things. They love this game until they fall in love with each other. Both of them fall in love but they do not want to say each other that,because of this game. They are obstinate not to tell their love. After a while, according to the game, their ways seperate and they can not see each other about ten years. Both of them married with someone else but they always love each other. After ten years they meet and game goes on. Sophie plays a game to Julien and Julien bluises. Sophie blames herself then Julien recovers. They want to finish the game then they go to construction and both of them get covered by concrete.

I think this movie was good. It shows us that obstinacy can bring regretful results.


The Prestige



I wrote my review about “The Prestige”. I like this movie very much because of amazing director performance, effective story and most importantly fascinating acting performance of all main characters. Firstly, Christopher Nolan is one of my best directors. He did very well jobs like Memento, Batman Begins. Secondly, this movie have effective, moving and mysterious story which adapted from same name best-seller fantasy novel of Christopher Priest. Moreover, all main characters are acting superbly, especially Christian Bale, Scarlett Johansson and Hugh Jackman.


As a summary of movie, Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) and Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) are ringers for Milton the Magician, with Cutter (Michael Caine) as his illusion engineer. During Borden's performance of the bullet catch, a camouflaged Angier again demands to know which tie Borden used. Borden quickly realizes Angier is going to shoot at Borden with a loaded gun. A disguised Borden later sabotages Angier's performance of the vanishing bird cage illusion, damaging Angier's reputation. The new illusion amazes Angier and Olivia. Although Olivia provides Angier with Borden's enciphered diary, she falls in love with Borden and double-cross Angier, allowing Borden to sabotage Angier's act, eternally crippling Angier's left leg by removing a crash mat. Borden attends Angier's performance again. Borden tries to save him, but Angier drowns. When Lord Caldlow visits with Jess, Borden realizes that he is Angier. Cutter leaves in antipathy, silently acknowledging the arrival of Borden, who shoots Angier. Borden reunites with Jess.


In conclusion, obviously I watched a film which includes a lot of breathtaking scenes. Christopher Nolan is incomparable about fantasy movies for me. I can advice this film to you with a clear conscience. I will wait his another outstanding film excitedly.
