Impressive and thought-provoking
27 May 2012
It has been one of the most thought-provoking films which I have watched lately. I found the film emotional, entertaining, enjoyable and challenging. In my opinion, Joseph Gordon-Levitt's performance is immensely prosperous. There has been a 27-year-old public radio journalist who has cancer. When he learned this disease, he was at a loss. It sounds fearful because he is a young man, there should be long years to live; however he was caught a bad disease. This matter also makes me think about some of these questions: Why am I the person who had cancer? , How much time left? , Would I die? On the other hand, I found the film a little bit of superficial because the disease has not been discussed thoroughly and the film reminds me love story film. At any rate, I think one and all should watch this film just because "50/50" reminds how substantial our life and our health. If we lose sense of well-being, we are not able to cope up with life, and this film aims to recite this truth. After a while his girl friend starts to cheat him. His bosom buddy reveals this fact. That is another rueful event while striving with disease. This scene also purposes to tell that in the hardest times we realize people's real intent.

Really enjoyable
27 May 2012
First of all I want to say this, I really like animation films and I actually liked this more than the first Happy Feet. The characters felt more developed and they went through a more interesting journey. This film aims to tell to children not to lie and how important the friendship is. However I have been astonished when I have seen rude comments on Happy Feet 2. I think people are being too harsh on this movie. Some critics refused to look deeper because this is not their usual type of child animation film. I am actually shocked while reading some of the scathing reviews. Also, I think people are being too hypercritical because the first Happy Feet won the Oscar. I loved this movie and I found it far superior to Rango, Gnomeo & Juliet and Cars 2. The animation was amazing. In my opinion, it has the best production values and cinematography of any animated film of 2011, I have watched lately. The story is in-depth, layered, complex and much more meaningful than the first Happy Feet. Also, there are significant themes and messages about community, teamwork, bravery, overcoming obstacles and environmentalism. I laughed, cried and felt such empathy for these penguins because this movie has a lot of soul and heart.
