Personal advice:

6) If you just left a relationship, watch this movie.

And keep in mind that just be yourself, maybe you can improve the way you communicate with men or women, but the key is still about yourself.

The Pianist

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxnplib2uG4

This movie won the Academy Awards for Best Director, Best Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay and being nominated for Best Film, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design and Film Editing, the film won Palme d'Or at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival, BAFTA Award for Best Film and BAFTA Award for Best Direction in 2003.

I can hardly think of any word to describe this movie; it is one of my favorite movies. You really have to just watch this movie, and while you are watching it, you should try to feel what Władysław Szpilman feels, think what Szpilman thinks. I believe it is the only way to truly understand the expression of this film. It is a moive of survival.

Saving Private Ryan

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfh3ne88fPY 

Saving Private Ryan is a 1998 American war film set during the invasion of Normandy in World War II. It was directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Robert Rodat. The film is notable for the intensity of its opening 27 minutes, which depict the Omaha beachhead assault of June 6, 1944. Afterwards, it follows Tom Hanks as Captain John H. Miller and several men as they search for paratrooper Private James Francis Ryan, who is the last surviving brother of three fallen servicemen.

Rodat first came up with the film's story in 1994 when he saw a monument dedicated to four sons of Agnes Allison of Port Carbon, Pennsylvania. The brothers were killed in the American Civil War. Rodat decided to write a similar story set during World War II. The script was submitted to producer Mark Gordon, who then handed it to Hanks. It was finally given to Spielberg, who decided to direct.

Tom Hanks has always been one of my favorite actors. It seems to me that as long as he is involved in a movie, doesn't matter if it is a character of the movie, the producer of the movie, or the director of the movie, it certainly will turn out great. It has always been this way since the role he played - Andrew Beckett - in the film Philadelphia to producer of Band of Brothers.

Is it worth to risk the lives of eight men to save just one? To me, definitely not. But when a man has lost all of his brothers and that he is the only one left in his family, then I believe that it is his duty to go back and take care of his family. Furthermore, when the Army head quarter gave the order to find Ryan and bring him home, it seems to me that it is just a way to appease some of the sorrow that Ryan's family has experienced during the World War II.

District 9

District 9 is a 2009 science fiction thriller film directed by Neill Blomkamp. It was written by Blomkamp and Terri Tatchell, and produced by Peter Jackson and Carolynne Cunningham. The film stars Sharlto Copley, Jason Cope and David James. Copley plays the role of Wikus van de Merwe, an Afrikaner bureaucrat assigned to relocate a race of extraterrestrial creatures unexpectedly stranded on Earth, referred to as "prawns", from District 9, a military-guarded slum in Johannesburg, South Africa, to an internment camp outside the city. 

Unsurprisingly, the movie was nominated for four Academy Awards in 2010, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Visual Effects, and Best Editing.

I think the District 9 is one of the best Si-Fi movies ever produced in the 21st century. It is certainly not another "alien taking over earth" movie. As we know that, whether a movie will become unforgotten or not, denepdns on its story and plot. The great movies like E.T., Independence Day, Predator all have brilliant and unforgettable stories.

The story of the movie, along with its story line, plot, connections between scenes, acting, filming techniques are just outstanding. It is definitely one of the best Si-Fi movies ever made.

Blood Diamond

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62h0mZ7m8zw

The scene showing here is probably the best acting throughout the whole movie. Most of us might have seen the Titanic. Leonardo DiCaprio was recognized by people as an idol-ish actor. As time moved on, I believe that DiCaprio has successfully transferred himself from an idol-ish actor to become a fully mature skilled actor.

Background:

Angola, a colony of Portugal, gained independence on November 11, 1975. Although independent, the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), and the National Liberation Front of Angola (FNLA) fought in a civil war from 1974 to 2001. Between 1992 and 1998, in violation of the 1991 Bicesse Accords, UNITA sold diamonds, in the value of US$3.72 billion, to finance its war with the government. The UN recognized the role that diamonds played in funding the UNITA rebels and in 1998 passed United Nations Security Council Resolution 1173 and United Nations Security Council Resolution 1176, banning the purchase of conflict diamonds from Angola. Resolution 1173 was the first resolution of the UN which specifically mentioned diamonds in the context of funding a war. Reports estimated that as much as 20% of the total production in the 1980s were being sold for illegal purposes, and 19% were specifically conflict in nature. By 1999, the illegal diamond trade was estimated by the World Diamond Council to have been reduced to 3.06% of the world's diamond production. The World Diamond Council reported that by 2004 this percentage had fallen to approximately 1%.
