Cocktail (1988)
An all around grat movie
Amongst all the films i've watched, only few have really left me thinking about them even after im done watching , but i have to say this one sure did. When watched this film may be seen as a comedic drama about two friends and things that happen to them. But as I see it it has more to offer than that.
Besides the great (despite simple) cinematography that really comes to be in the bartending scenes, the story is intriguing following the young Brian Flanagan through his path trying to become a millionare. But in this path he finds both love and fullfilment with what he is currently employed. On the other side we have Dough Coughlin, who wants the exact same thing, but actually gets it.
The true colors of this movie shows with Dough's storyline, because he is not happy. He is depressed. He got everything he desired and then realized that he still wasn't happy. It may be an overdone topic but the messege is that money did not brong Dough happiness, life fulfilment is what give's us humans happines and that's what Flanagan achieves.
The movie is fun, really entertaing and has a serius undertone. (and great ost)
The Fault in Our Stars (2014)
I really want to watch it again
I have hardly ever seen a film that, after ending, leaves me with the desire of watching it again. Its weird, the movie is about two hours if i remember correctly, but it left me feeling like if i had spent much more time than that with the characters. Meaning that they are so well written that they feel like real people and not just characters in a movie. Accompanied with the excellent acting it inmerses you in this unknown but yet familiar experience. With the constant feeling of fear and sadness that comes with it, but also the happiness. I have never cried watching a movie and this one is no exeption, but it got really close.
It felt real.
