05-01-2023
We continue to present to your attention films that have long or recently passed the test of time and continue to enjoy respect and mass popularity, forming a treasury of world cinema, being classic, beloved, and cult.
FIGHT CLUB (1999)
American film director David Fincher and Palahniuk's "Fight Club" didn't find each other immediately. The first one went through the failure of the third part of "Alien" and the success of "Seven," and the novel immediately received positive reviews and awards. Hollywood immediately drew attention to this project, and already in 1999, the world received a new cinematic cult - "Fight Club."
The main audience of the fight club is each new young generation, in which energy boils, and consciousness is formed, designed to direct this energy in a certain direction. The creation of fight clubs by fans of the film, their thirst for freedom, and solving problems with their fists give viewers a unique perception of meaning, while others focus on the content of the Fight Club of the film itself. Both paths lead to a cult addiction that continues to this day.
FORREST GUMP (1994)
Robert Zemeckis' film "Forrest Gump" has long been among the immortal classics of world cinema and undoubtedly holds a special place in the hearts of millions of moviegoers worldwide.
The story is based on the biography of Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks), a kind man with intellectual characteristics but with a big heart, who, despite the misunderstanding and constant ridicule of others, finds himself at the center of important historical events for the United States and the world, exerting a direct influence on them.
So the film itself has become an integral part of the history of cinema-about love, struggle, and the absurdity of reality.
LOVE ACTUALLY (2003)
One of the best romantic comedies, a worthy successor to no less talented predecessors - "Notting Hill" and "Bridget Jones's Diary," with a whole constellation of favorite actors - Colin Firth, Alan Rickman, Rowan Atkinson, different destinies and characters who find and lose the love that drives these small and separate lives.
The film's secret is not only in the subtle British humor, talented actors, and interesting plots but also in the atmosphere of kindness characteristic of New Year's films.
HOME ALONE (2003)
For any viewer, New Year's movies are undoubtedly already iconic and full of a fabulous atmosphere that makes watching not only enjoyable but also unforgettable, even when you watch at an advanced age. The film is directed by Chris Columbus, also known as the author of the first two Harry Potter films. A director who manages to create soulful films for children, full of originality, naive fun, and touching intrigues.
Everyone at any age can remember those childhood years when we were afraid to stay at home alone and then realized how wonderful it was. As the New York Times analyzed, "in the end, independent life is real freedom when you are allowed to eat ice cream, watch TV, jump on the couch as much as you want. Generally, being at home alone means being happy..."
BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY (2001)
The film tells about an ordinary woman in her thirties who one day decides to change her life once and for all. The main roles in the film were played by the "heavyweights" of Hollywood melodramas: Colin Firth, Hugh Grant and, of course, without some kind of "diary" she would not have found this inexhaustible dose of charm and wisdom-Renee Zellweger, who makes you believe in what is happening on the other side of the screen., Bridget, unlike many screen heroines, looks like a real woman, not always with a perfect hairstyle and full makeup:
Few of the movie characters have become no less famous than their acting names. One of them is Bridget Jones.
