The Last Samurai (2003)
beautiful photography
If you like a typical Hollywood movie, you will like this movie.I enjoyed watching beautiful photography which probably attracts many eastern people by its exotic scenery of Japan.I found some good acting in there too, but what disappointed me is the relationship between Tom and the woman who took care of him and started to have feelings for him.The relationship is really annoying in the movie and that makes this movie typical Hollywood movie.I think the love relationship doesn't have to be depicted in the movie.I wish it were just "hero" movie.Music is playing a great part in this movie.Especially, it makes the landscape of Japan so magnificent and it's helping the too-quiet-atmosphere in the movie.Well, I'm actually Japanese, so I see the truth of beauty in the silence, when it comes to the movie, music never disturbed to me.
Sylvia (2003)
saved by acting?
I decided to watch this movie since Gwyneth Paltrow is starring as Sylvia and i heard some good reviews on the movie.To be honest, I don't read poetry at all, so I have no idea how Sylvia is talented and admired in the field.When i was watching this movie, i was just so drawn into Gwyneth's acting.Well.., the story itself is, as you know, telling how Sylvia was straggling with the relationship with her husband and how much poem meant to her life.I could see Sylvia's depression in her life through Gwyneth's great acting.The story goes kind of slowly and really focuses on Sylvia.I hope to see some development in the character of her husband, but considering to make her life into 2hrs movie, I cannot say anything about that.Personally, I liked this movie and enjoyed it, but I understand some people don't like it.If you can be satisfied with a great acting, you should check this out.
