Favorite Movies of a Broad Repetoire
November 17th 2008 03:01
Everybody has a collection of films that they go back to throughout their lives for inspiration and insight. Films excite emotions that are not readily accessible from moment to moment. Some movies give laughter, sadness, fear, adventure, boredom, confusion, or instruction. Few of the overall viewed, provide the extreme of this anticipated outcome. What I find enjoyable about films is the writing and the unexpected from an obvious conclusion. Granted that every writer strives for this goal in developing something that is ground-breaking, but few productions achieve this goal, in my opinion.
One film that gave me a feeling of hope was the movie Sabrina,1995: Harrison Ford, Greg Kinnear, and Julia Ormond. As a young man, I felt an attraction to the lead woman and her misunderstood personality. Her travels to France and the ensuing ambiance was intoxicating in the coffee shops of Paris while La Vi En Rose played as a theme. This film is frequented for insight into what still remains the most pleasing features of the opposite sex. Another couple of films are grouped together and provide vision for possibility though improbable, a basis for an ideal personage or peer set. These films are:
-A Beautiful Mind,2001: Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, and Ed Harris
-Pi,1998: Sean Gullette
-Primer,2004: Shane Carruth and David Sullivan
The far reaching possibilities of mathematics taken from a science fiction stand point are brought down to the probable. The easily relating story lines give-off an intoxicating affect and one that I go back to for inspiration and a reason for writing. These movies may not be directly linked, but all of them bring fiction and mathematics together eloquently. There are many movies that attempt humor and hold the viewer's laughter for a time, but lose out in the long term to the farther reaching more basic forms. Slap-stick is a timeless humor that Charlie Chaplin will always be associated with, but has been adapted for many actors. Some of the ones that make my sides split are:
-Pure Luck,1991: Martin Short, Danny Glover
-Robin William Live,1981: Robin Williams(Not a movie, stand-up, but extremely funny)
-Groundhogs Day,1993: Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell
There are so many more movies that I enjoy watching over and over again. None have the staying power in my opinion like these few movies, but this sort of area is always changing. I'll always have a place for the old movies, but the progress that computers have made for the industry, well I guess that is another article.
