The Grey: La limita supravieţuirii (2012) – al doilea film care mi-a plăcut dintre toate pe care le-am văzut
O să vă recomand mai jos un film care are două chei de citire:
- Film de acțiune cu scene fioroase.
- Film cu mesaj profund, foarte mișcător.
Watching “An inconvenient truth” (2006) from the perspective of a wannabe presenter
I want to be a good presenter; so, when Al GORE said in “An inconvenient truth” (2006) that he has held the speech / presentation in the movie for more than 1,000 times, I looked for some methods he used; I will not speak in the blog post about the message itself, but about how it was said; when seeing the movie, do remember that Al GORE is a successful politician, so he, in theory, should have the ability to hold a very good speech.
Orthodoxy, in Disney’s words: “I ask for nothing / I can get by / But I know so many / Less lucky than I” (The Hunchback of Notre Dame)
There’s a quote in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), who seems to me to synthesize Orthodoxy well:
“I ask for nothing / I can get by / But I know so many / Less lucky than I”.
Why am I neutral to theater?
I’ve just written a blog post about
“Bury me Behind the Baseboard” / “Îngropați-mă pe după plintă” – best play I’ve seen – Get a result now!.
You might think “Hmmm, this is a clear sign – he likes theater a lot”. Well, not so much. Details below.
A favorite quote of mine – Captain Jack ROSS: “I represent the government of the United States without passion or prejudice” – A few good men (1992)
I like the movie “A few good men” (1992) quite a lot, it’s one of my favorite movies, though not as much as “Le notti di Cabiria” (1957).
A quote I like a lot: "Terminator: Desire is irrelevant. I am a machine." – Terminator 3: rise of the machines
There’s a quote in “Terminator 3: rise of the machines” (2003) that I’m really fond of. It goes like this:
Terminator: “Desire is irrelevant. I am a machine.”
Why do I like it?
De ce să vezi “Le notti di Cabiria” (“Nopțile Cabiriei”, 1957) a doua oară?
Am spus-o și mă repet – “Le notti di Cabiria” e filmul meu favorit.
The love to swim, the swim in “Gattaca”
The day is hot. Sun is burning, you’re at the seaside. You live in Năvodari and you love the sea. You’ve always loved it, but when living in Bucharest for a long time, the sea calls you back to spend yet another summer with her.
How would I make a presentation about my favorite movie – “Le notti di Cabiria” (1957)?
On 8th of June I headed for British Council, for a Public Speaking Support Group. I held a presentation about my favorite movie: “Le notti di Cabiria” (1957, see IMDb data). Below you’ll find my presentation (video + PowerPoint).
