Cast: Carey Mulligan/Peter Sarsgaard/Alfred Molina/Cara Seymour/Dominic Cooper

Nominated for 3 Oscar awards, this BBC-produced film has captured great attention.

It brings us a heartfelt juvenile story about a girl fighting the expectations of her family and society as she falls in love with a middle-aged man.

Jenny (Carey Mulligan) is a charismatic, lively 16-year-old girl in the 1960s. On the surface, she seems like a typical nice reserved British girl – prepping to go to Oxford, sneaking out for smokes with her friends, dreaming of going to Paris. But actually, she is not satisfied her current life and wants more. After all, her father just wants her to go to Oxford at whatever cost, thus putting a lot intangible pressure on Jenny and pushing her to rebel.

Do you want to see something special? Possibly something that will have you look at relationships and life in a slightly different way.

The two are reunited when Ed falls critically ill and Will returns from France with his wife Josephine to spend time with him.
Through a series of flashbacks the tale of Ed Bloom’s adventurous life is told and the essence of it is his fidelity for his

Colorful Life of Young Edward

wife.
Big Fish is a quiet and colorful film that includes mysterious villages, circus acts, giants, witches, strange things, and true love. You are pretty sure that Ed’s tales are fictional, but then in a Burton movie you can never tell. You may feel this film is the illusion of Burton’s ideal life. That’s also my guess. The fearless, persistent Edward is just the ideal image of Tim Burton. If so, I will love Tim Burton more than ever
The cast is superb with both Finney and MacGregor (who plays the younger Ed) performing brilliantly. The video transfer is exquisite and the soundtrack is very harmonious.
Big Fish an exceptional tale that will leave you feeling pleasantly surprised. It is a movie that should be seen by absolutely everyone – young and old.

Here comes Valentine’s day, I’d like to recommend a classic affactional film for you and your lover. Enjoy~

Director: Nick Cassavetes
Cast: Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams, Gena Rowlands

Adapted from a bestselling novel, The Notebook is the simple story of a privileged young woman who falls in love with a inferior boy.
The story has an unusual framework: it begins at a nursing home, where an elderly woman suffering from dementia is paid a visit by a man who offers to read her a story. As the film develops – mostly in amber-hued flashbacks to the 1940s – it becomes apparent that the older man and woman have a pivotal stake in the following story. The main action revolves around 17-year old Allie Hamilton, a free-spirited young woman whose rebellious instincts are tempered by her strict, domineering parents. While summering in the town of Seabrook, Allie catches the eye of one of the local boys, a charismatic lumberyard worker named Noah Calhoun .
Despite their wildly different backgrounds,  it is not long before the two become inseparable, much to the horror of Allie’s upper-crust family.
Eventually, Allie’s mother intervenes, insisting on an end to the romance and dragging her daughter back to the family home in Charleston. While Allie is reluctantly shipped off to university in New York, Noah stays in Seabrook, writing his beloved letters every day for a year. Thanks to Mrs. Hamilton, the letters go unread, and Noah decides to give up. Shortly thereafter, he enlists in the army and goes off to Europe to fight in the war.
Once the war ends, Noah decides to put his all into building the dream house that he and Allie spoke of in their youth. His discovery of Allie’s engagement to a rich, handsome war veteran only fuels his determination, and it is not long before the two cross paths meet again.

the most romantic scene

To be fair, the story is filled with enough clichés to sink the boat that Noah is seen doggedly rowing in order to vent the frustrations of his lost love. The Notebook is a soapy, glossy drama that gives the audience what it wants and then some.
Taking this into consideration makes the performances of the lead actors all the more remarkable. Making a boat ride in a lake filled with swans seem like a true-to-life experience is a considerable challenge, and it is to the director and actors’ enormous credit that they actually pull it off. In the overtly emotional role of Allie, Rachel McAdams gives a career-making performance, filling each scene she’s in with a warmth, energy, and spark. Without Gosling, McAdams, Rowland, and Garner, The Notebook could have easily dissolved into a syrupy mess. It is their conviction and dedication that pulls it back to earth each time it teeters on the edge of sentimentality, and that ultimately makes it one of that year’s more enjoyable Hollywood delicacies.
