  • The review of "The producers" (1967) by Mel Brooks

    The perfect script, which was recognized by Academy Award, looks modern nowadays. This story about unsuccessful producer Max Bialystock (Zero Mostel), who was "The king of the Broadway" in past. The idea to stage the worst play of the world, which came to him thanks to appearance of an accountant Leo Bloom (Gene Wilder), sounds like a madness. And because of this crazy idea producers' life became very funny and surprising! The script is well built and the characters are skillfully designed. The author of the play named "The springtime for Hitler" justifies his nature. He is fond of Hitler and he admires the greatest tyrant. This madman speaks with birds and shoots a gun and whole his feelings and motivations are accurately played by Kenneth Mars. It is a slapstick comedy which mixed different types of humor, jokes, tricks and gags. Needless to say, absurd dialogues make the narration more interesting and intriguing. There are also details of screwball comedy, especially scenes where Max encompasses for elderly ladies to get some money, and the funniest depiction of casting for Hitler's part in performance, where the comic sing a song about "love power". The plot is untypical because of the results of the opening night. The "genial plan" was destroyed and the "sure-fire flop" was failed. The play was a success with viewers. The producers were very upset and the author was very angry. The main value of the script is unpredictable climax and astonishing resolution. The producers never give up, they have got a new "genial idea". Their project is called "The prisoner of love"!

  • «The boy, who has survived»

    It is the most famous screen adaptation in the history of cinema. Even people, who have not ever seen it, know this story about the wizard which came to our world to overcome the evil. There were seven books and eight films, because the last part was shared into two flicks due to new Hollywood standard. If you have not guessed yet, we are talking about the novel by Joan Rowling. The last film about Harry Potter was realized on the 7th of July in 2011. And it was the highest-grossing film of this year and the tenth-highest-grossing film of the all times. What is the secret of success of the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Part 2"? To solve this mystery let's focus on the key factors of a movie success such as: plot and story, their relevance to the audience, star power, director, special effects, budget, release date and critics' reviews. All of these constituents are here. It is obviously that the plot resonates with the dreams and beliefs of target audience. Harry finally met with his enemy and the greatest battle is going to start, but surprisingly Voldemort become stronger than Harry has excepted. What way the inseparable trinity, Harry, Ron and Hermione will found to protect their school and their world? It seems to sound impossible but Harry decides to sacrifice his life to bring the death to Voldemort. The audience froze in anticipation, everyone would like Harry to live. Despite all fans of Harry Potter know the end of the book they are truly worrying during the film. It is going without saying that the most part of actors, who has been shooting for more than ten years at the all previous films, has a large and enthusiastic fan base. Not only main characters which were played by Denial Radcliff, Rupert Green and Emma Watson but actors of supporting roles too, like Allen Rickman or Helena Bonham Carter - of course, they were gained recognition from the audience. A well-known director is one more important factor. David Yates shot three movies about Harry Potter before the last one, but none of these parts has such huge box-office. They all made a great profit over 900 thousand dollars but the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Part 2" has raised 1,3 billion dollars. David Yates has brought whole his experience into his last film, he knew how to make the perfect picture. Since the 2000s "Harry Potter" has changed significantly. The last part was not a fairy tale like the first part, it was amazing, mysterious and scaring world. And director needed the computer-generated imagery to integrate magic world into a real life and make film more gripping. Needless to say, that the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Part 2" was recognized by the Academy Award for the best visual effects and was awarded by BAFTA at this nomination also. Thanks to the soundtracks by gorgeous Alexandre Desplat the film won the Annual Grammy's Award. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Part 2" had a budget of 250 million dollars and was co-financed by Warner Broth. Pictures and Heyday films which were very generous for whole necessary things. Another reason of the film's acceptance is a good labeled from the critics. Roger Ebert gave the film three and a half out of four and said, "The finale conjures up enough awe and solemnity to serve as an appropriate finale and a dramatic contrast to the lighthearted (relative) innocence of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone all those magical years ago." At last, the release date. It was the middle of the summer, when cinemas became full of Harry Potter's fans. Not all previous parts were turned out in summer, lots of them were screened in autumn or in winter, when many of viewers has not opportunities to visit cinema palaces. To sum it up, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Part 2" is an example of a commercially successful movie where various factors come into play to bring millions of viewers and provide the renown from the world cinema to all members of the film's production unit.

  • The review of "Lover for a day" by Philippe Garrel The tearful melodrama in black and white

    At first sight, the interesting plot about relationships of new Gilles's mistress and his daughter seems original, but since the third shot the intrigue becomes predictable. Because of the weak dramatic structure, the film is sluggish. The story is clear. A philosophy professor named Gilles (Éric Caravaca) has a relationship with Ariane (Louise Chevillotte), who is one of his students. Gilles' daughter, Jeanne (Esther Garrel), moves in to live with them after being kicked out of her boyfriend's apartment. Later, we find out that Ariane is attracted to young men and she also was shot for the cover of porn magazine. One of the strangest things that Gilles and Jeanne does not understand who Ariane is. In my opinion, the actress so badly pretends to be a wolf in sheep's clothing, that her heinous character is obvious from the very beginning. There is one positive thing, it is an idea, that false love helps father to establish relations with his daughter. And thanks to negative example of Ariane's behavior, Jeanne and her boyfriend made up and started to appreciate each other. The fuzzy and weak conflict is over like that way. It is not clear what happens in Ariane's soul when she says to Gilles and Jeanne that she loves them both. Furthermore, it is not clear what happens in souls of all characters at this film. The climax is too vague, we also watch as Ariane has sex with another young man. And what conclusion should we draw from this? It is not the first time. The scene like that we saw at least twice before, so it is not surprised us at all. As for director of photography work, it is very simple. The shots are flat without any perspective and depth. The mise en scenes are not built well, big close-ups are not always well connected with previous frames. It may seem, that the editor did not have enough time to make image on the screen more technical quality. The color score, perhaps, must help us to believe in this story and must give us an opportunity to perceive it more reliably. And that's the whole idea! I suppose, that it would have been better if the director had spent more time working with actors than on pondering the color rendition of the film. To sum up, the idea of the film lies on the surface, and the director's conception is too simple for the quality artistic expression.
