alexandral: (Finding Neverland -  my precious child)
All system were down this extended weekend at work due to the major Student system upgrade, so I could not use VPN and connect to work to do my project. I watched some films instead:

Chinese Odyssey This film is so full of laughter, “feel good” and wonderful Faye Wong. It can make any rainy day brighter! Totally lovely fairytale! Thank you [livejournal.com profile] ginger001 and [livejournal.com profile] koalathebear for recommendations!

Three colours: Red [livejournal.com profile] queenofthorns and [livejournal.com profile] winterspel were talking about this Krzysztof Kieslowski’s film and it made me to crave to re-watch it (for about 10th time probably ;). I truly think this is one of the best films ever made. This is the last part of three films made in France and Polland and united by three ideas of French revolution and three colours of the French flag – Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. Young model valentine befriends old judge and their life is changed forever as the result. Music in the film is ABSOLUTELY DIVINE, by Polish composer Zbigniew Preisner

I am glad I re-watched it, I noticed few things that I missed last time round:
- How connected everything is in the Kieslowski’s universe. The same song by the same fictional composer van den Budenmayer was used in the other Kieslowski’s film “Dekalog”. And this composer is mentioned in the other films as well.
- I adored all the “dog” theme in the film: Rita-the dog, young judge's relationship with his dog, and PUPPIES! Huh, if people could be as loyal! Dogs made a particular impact on me this time round (may be because I have a dog of my own now)

Finding Neverland This is lovely, lovely film. It reminded me of “Narnia” . And of course, Johnny Depp!

House Season two of “House” starts this week in UK. I liked first season very much, Hugh Laurie is just totally inimitable. Without him it could have been just another stylish “medical” drama. But his antics made it into something witty, funny, great and occasionally sad. I am so much looking forward to season 2!

And now I want to make icons from all these films!
