Rocky Balboa (2006)
simple, patronizing but tasty.
after seeing all the other Rocky movies, i wasn't expecting much. i knew there would definitely by a fight. a victory. little did i know that the fight is all about the reasons and dues. and the victory is not in the ring - it is buried deep inside. i do feel that stallone had a point and some issues he wanted to share. congrats, stallone, you did it - i could feel the emotions and identify myself with the kid. as far as the acting goes - the speech before the commission was too patronizing, but on the other hand, it reminded my of Mickey, - guess we can live with it. do i recommend this movie? yes. why? because it is simple. you can feel it.
Knockin' on Heaven's Door (1997)
chef-d'uvre of life
European movies do have this feature: they combine drama and comedy and make you smile because it is too sad to cry.
Moreover, this particular film has a perfectly selected crew and the screenplay is flawless.
To have a dream. This masterpiece is all about it.
Two men, trapped by cancer unconsciously recognizing the sea as the symbol of freedom and eternity are making their last 500 km to the Baltic Sea.
Acting at its best the crew is offering us this warm feeling of sad happiness while singing Guns&Roses "Knock, knock, knockin' on the heaven's doors" and understanding, that such moments do make life.
