Manchester by the sea. ( Oh, and a few random thoughts)

PS: This is not a movie review, this is me casually typing in the words that are coming out of my mouth starting now. And it's mainly about 'Manchester by the sea', but there's some other stuff too.  "I can't beat it" Two years back or something I saw a cut scene from 'Manchester by the sea', it was like an emotional scene involving Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams. It was so heartbreaking and since I kinda have a thing for sad movies I decided to watch it. So I search for the movie and see this poster :  I thought it was just like one of those sad romantic movies, you know like 'Blue Valentine', which I still haven't seen. So I dropped it. Two years passed, it came upon my shoulders to write a short write up about this same movie for a College thing. So I'm like okay, let's watch it anyway. 2 hours and 17 minutes later I am telling you, I haven't seen a movie which has portrayed the image and exact emotions of a broken m...

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Directed by: John Hughes  Language: English Year: 1986 Country: United States  Genre: drama, teen film, comedy  Starring: Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck, Mia Sara, Jennifer Grey, Jeffrey Jones Synopsis A high school wise guy is determined to have a day off from school, despite what the principal thinks of that.  My view Ferris Bueller's Day Off is an American coming of age movie directed by John Hughes. The cast members have performed excellently. Especially, Matthew Broderick, it's like he was born for this role.  Coming to the story Ferris Bueller is nothing like any other high school movie kids we've seen. Usually, in every high school movie, the boy/girl is either an introvert, have a bad family, all the other kids hate him/her or all of the above.  But here surprisingly Ferris Bueller is this ideal kid. He's famous, handsome, is a good singer, got a nice family, has a pretty girlfriend, and everybody l...

Dead Poets Society

Dead poets society Directed by: Peter Weir  Language: English Year:1989 Country: United States  Genre: Comedy, Teen film, Drama Starring: Robin Williams, Ethan Hawke, Robert Sean, Josie Charles, Gale Hensen, Kurtwood Smith. Synopsis   John Keating, a progressive English teacher, encourages his students to break free from the norms, go against the status quo and live unapologetically. My view Dead Poets society is Peter Weir's second movie and is known as one of the greatest feel-good movies of all time.  There are some movies that, if you watch them for the first time at the right age it will mould and inspire you. Dead Poets Society is undoubtedly one of them.  Even though the movie was released in 1989, the topic it discussed still has a great importance in the present day. The story takes place at a boarding school where students are like broilers and are taught nothing except textbook stuff. John Keating ...
