I watched two films yesterday that are not only fascinating, but on some level educational.

A Clockwork Orange - 1971 (9/10)

I should note, if you haven’t made it far in recovery don’t even attempt to view this film due to the nudity, nature, and content of it.

I wasn’t a very big fan of it due to a variety of reasons, but it wasn’t until my boyfriend bought the 4K version that really transformed the film. It now really feels like a dystopian society set in the UK, as the colours pop, the grain is gone, the sound is remastered, and it really adds to the atmosphere of the overall film.

It’s dark, harsh, realistic, but also in my opinion a take on society, and the governments failure to act or do anything to actually help people.

Trainspotting - 1996 (10/10)

During my recovery this masterpiece has been one of the greatest films for me to watch, as it not only showed how low a person can go with an addiction, but what it’s like fighting it.

I won’t spoil it but there’s a brilliant scene in there that was relatable in terms of Mark’s recovery, and it really moved me. The entire film was a masterpiece from the 90’s techno Britpop (which captured his up and downs), but also how relatable and well acted all the characters are.

It’s hands down one of my favourite films, and I recently rewatched it in anticipation of the 4K release soon!!

I love both of the movies. The scene where the person was being tortured with music was great and I still remember it, he is saying I can't take it anymore.( The Clockwork orange) . Trainspotting is great cause it taught me many things about drugs.

Oh, TYO is a fun movie to watch. Not the best but it surely has its funny elements.
The Square. Man, I loved it. I’ve liked all the movies directed by Ruben Östlund so far (Triangle of Sadness being one of them).
 
Godzilla Minus One 9/10

They really hit the sweet spot with this film. It's not only a great Monster/Kaiju movie, it's a great Family/Post-War movie with the main character going through PTSD symptoms. The last line of the movie,
"Is Your war over?" really hits You in the stomach because we all have our own struggles we're fighting against.

I will say that it being fully subtitled for english viewers was truly the way to go. We get the actual emotion of the actors so much clearer this way.

I think it's still in some theaters, so if You have the chance, see it before it leaves!
 
Amadeus (1984)

Musical drama. The life of
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He died at the age of only 36. He was a great musician. The movie was good, I enjoyed it. But there's one nude scene.
PR : 8/10
 
The Lives of Others (2006)

One of my all time favourite movies. But triggers warning. Maybe not suitable for people under 21. This movie is great. Language German. Some scenes are really touching.
PR: 9/10
 
The Fabelmans
9/10

Pretty good Spielberg movie that shows what antisemitism could be like in the 60s. The part where the kids demand the Jewish character apologise for the crucifixion of Christ was horrible but shows what some Jews have to put up with from certain Christians. The Mother reminds me of my Mum because she's had somewhat similar mental health issues.

Yes, pretty good movie. It shows how u shoot a movie also every movie is connected to life and dedication.
 
The way back (2010)

I have always enjoyed Peter Weir movies. This movie is epic, harrowing, and inspiring. Survival of the fittest. Based on real life inspirations. Few people trying to escape a prison from Russia in their way to the Great Himalayan during the Second World War. I really enjoy this type of movies. PG 13, so watchable for all.
PR: 8/10
 
Take Shelter (2011)

Really good movie. Who needs a storm shelter now a day? This movie is nice and slowly poised. But not much entertainment or commercial scenes. I really liked the ending of it. No r rated scenes that I could remember.
PR: 8/10

Lars and the Real Girl (2007)

This is a movie about a sick and introverted person who falls in love with a girl doll. Ryan Gosling did good acting. This movie is also a movie about an introverted point of view. But a bit slow . Worth watching for me. Not much entertainment or stimulation. I really liked the concept. No r rated scenes, I think.
PR: 7/10
