“Army in the Shadows”, Lino Ventura, Jean-Pierre Cassel and other wonderful things

[alexandral]

+Army in the Shadows: I watched it on Tuesday in “Bradford National museum of film and television”. I think that it is a truly outstanding film. Made by the famous French director Jean-Pierre Melville, it has many amazing actors in the cast. Film tells the story of the French Resistance during the Second World War. The story is given in all it’s truth of day-to-day work, terror, betrayal and many hard decisions. It is definitely the best film I have seen about the French Resistance.

It is one of the films where it is difficult to tell which actor made the biggest impact. They all are absolutely awesome. If I must choose, I would say that Lino Ventura (playing the main character Philippe Gerbier) and Jean-Pierre Cassel (Jean François Jardie).

+Lino Ventura has terrific screen presence. He is all authority and can be called burly. Well, I think he is burly.




+Jean-Pierre Cassel is the father of one of my current favourites , Vincent Cassel. Jean-Pierre Cassel is just soooooooo attractive.



+Earth and Fire: I am getting both of these wonderful films from Blockbuster on-line. May be they are already at home! Yay!!!!!!!! I am really really excited about watching these films. I have heard so much about they recently! Yay again!!!!

I also realised that Earth/Fire/Water thrilogy’s director is Deepa Mentha. I saw her absolutely adorable film “Bollywood/Hollywood”. YAY!!!
This is why I used this icon. I am not sure yet if it is finished, but !!!!!!!

+Prison Break: Michael and Sara had the hottest stare session in the human history. And then he said something along the lines “It breaks my heart that I know after everything I have done you are not going to trust me ever”. My heart is broken.

+Great weather Weather is absolutely wonderful today. The warmest day of the year. I am going to put my new summer shoes (three pairs acquired during the last month)

+Meme realtanala tagged me with "My 5 weird habbits" meme. Here they are,

1) I don’t like mornings. I sleep until the last minute possible

2) I like to stay late at night.

3) I love spoilers. I always look at the books (or films) ending if I can. I don’t like it if I can’t. Because I can’t cope with getting in vested in some character (or relationship) and realise suddenly that he is the mother-killer. I coped very badly with BSG developments. Thank you queenofthornes and syliasyliasylia who in their different ways helped me through it.

4) I own too many clothes.

5) I like new things and forget old things. I am sorry!

Prison Break: It breaks my heart that I know after everything I have done you are not going to trust me ever .... I almost died watching and obsessively rewatching that scene! Their angsty stare contest was of epic dimensions, Michael is so intentense!!

Weather is absolutely wonderful too
Waaaaah! Here you can wear just a light jacket and a t-shirt, but it's very cloudy and it has rained as well.

Yay! for Deepa Metha's films love! I adore her trilogy, Water is the movie I've liked the most this year so far! Lovely icon by the way. And Bollywood Hollywood is adorable!

I own too many clothes.
This is not a bad habit... this is a blessing ;)

O my poor heart! How he was saying "I love you Sara" with his eyes, and then he told her EVERYTHING in short sentence - "I am getting Lincoln out of here tonight", and you could see him taking a plunge inside and making himself to do it. ** Sighs **

Water is the movie I've liked the most this year so far Have you seen the other two?

I saw Fire and Earth a long time ago :/ ... I want to buy the full trilogy on dvd. Here in Spain, only fire is availabe on dvd, Water was released on cinemas last month so the dvd release will take some time. My bollywood-fan friends lended me Earth... I hope there's a good dvd edition of the full trilogy :) because they are worth buying!

I noticed Rahul Khanna in the credits for "Earth". I like the guy, especially his eyes. :) I am very much "eye" person as concerning my choice of beautiful fictional men ( and non-fictional too). But nice body frame is good too!
