“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!

I didn't know how Jean-Pierre Cassel looked! But I do love Vincent Cassel!!! I find him pretty hot ;) I got a crush on him after Brotherhood of the Wolves! I liked Vincent Cassel in the "Brotherhood of Wolves" and "Joan of Arc" and "Read my lips". He had a very funny role in "Elisabeth", but he played it excellently. He is an excellent actor IMHO.

I think I can see family resemblance!!! He looks like his father! (Or is it just me?)
