Before Sunrise

Before Sunrise is romance for the slacker generation. Richard Linklater's
romantic drama is an offbeat telling of a dream come true for most
people. The film depicts romance in all it's glory, but without any
of the pitfalls that befall most couples; and in short the film is
about two people that have a relationship that's as close to
perfection as relationships will ever come to - with just one
problem, the problem of time. While most relationships wind down
with time, this one keeps going strong throughout and time itself is
the only thing that wears out. Before Sunrise is certainly not the
typical sentimental 'Hollywood romance', which is another aspect
that puts this film leagues ahead of the pretenders. The story
follows two people, Jesse; an American and Celine; a French girl
that meet on a train into Vienna. They instantly connect, and after
telling her his awful idea for a television show and almost getting
off the train, Jesse asks Celine to join him for the day in the
picturesque city of Vienna. |

Not a movie but life. Amazingly simple and deep! They were in love 9 years
ago. Now when they've met again, there's a lot to remember and tell each
other. Jess (Ethan Hawke) is already married and more – he's a father and
Celine's dating a guy she really loves who's fortunately out of town right
now. At least this is what they tell each other. You see, some parts are
really left to our imagination. Perhaps Celine's just trying to prove she's a
strong girl to live without Jess saying she has had many lovers after him and
each of them after getting married said "thank you" to her for "teaching love"
as she says. Perhaps Jess lies either about kids but his marriage and Julie's
new love are probably true. The question is could they refuse all that for
each other. |

Inspired by real events, the fascinating The
Great Debaters reveals one of the seeds of the Civil Rights Movement
in its story of Melvin B. Tolson (Denzel Washington in a captivating
performance) and his champion 1935 debate club from the
all-African-American Wiley College in Texas. Tolson, a Wiley
professor, labor organizer, modernist poet, and much else, runs a
rigorous debate program at the school, selecting four students as
his team in ’35, among them the future founder of the Congress of
Racial Equality, James Farmer Jr. (Denzel Whitaker). Washington, who
directed The Great Debaters from a script by Robert Eisele (The Dale
Earnhardt Story), anchors the story with the team’s measurable
progress, but the film is also about the state of race relations in
America at the height of the Great Depression. From Amazon

What's in a game? For a young man, who has left his country behind,

way out. This is a story about a Bulgarian boy who grows up to be a
German man. After a car accident Alex can't remember even what his
name is. In an attempt to cure him from amnesia, his grandfather Bai
Dan comes over to Germany and organizes a spiritual journey for his
grandson back into his past, to the country where he came from. In

backgammon, the simplest, and yet the most complex of all games.
That game leads Alex to the realizations of who he is, and that game
is symbolic to the story. Destiny is the dice we hold in our own
hands and life is a game on the edge between chance and skill. --IMDb |
