Gone Baby Gone (2007)

Ben Affleck
Everyone Wants The Truth... Until They Find It.

When 4 year old Amanda McCready disappears from her home and the police make little headway in solving the case, the girl's aunt Beatrice McCready hires two private detectives Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro. The detective freely admit that they have little experience with this type of case, but the family wants them for two reasons - they're not cops and they know the tough neighborhood in which they all live. As the case progresses, Kenzie and Gennaro face drug dealers, gangs and pedophiles. When they finally solve the case, they are faced with a moral dilemma that tears them apart.

Στην πρώτη του σκηνοθετική απόπειρα ο Ben Affleck κλείνει τα στόματα όλων αυτών που τον ήθελαν απλά ένα μέτριο ηθοποιό (... συγκαταλέγω και τον εαυτό μου ανάμεσά τους ) .Αρκετά καλές ερμηνείες και ένα τέλος- ηθικό δίλλημα-που σίγουρα θα προβληματίσει το θεατή αρκετή ώρα μετά το τέλος της προβολής

the road to hell is paved with good intentions ...

21 Grams (2003)

Alejandro González Iñárritu

This is the story of three gentle persons: Paul Rivers (Sean Penn) an ailing mathematician lovelessly married to an English emigré (Gainsbourg), Christina Peck (Naomi Watts), an upper-middle-class suburban housewife, happily married and mother of two little girls, and Jack Jordan (Benicio Del Toro), an ex-convict who has found in his Christian faith the strength to raise a family. They will be brought together by a terrible accident that will change their lives. By the final frame, none of them will be the same as they will learn harsh truths about love, faith, courage, desire and guilt, and how chance can change our worlds irretrievably, forever.

Paul Rivers: How many lives do we live? How many times do we die? They say we all lose 21 grams... at the exact moment of our death. Everyone. And how much fits into 21 grams? How much is lost? When do we lose 21 grams? How much goes with them? How much is gained? How much is gained? Twenty-one grams. The weight of a stack of five nickels. The weight of a hummingbird. A chocolate bar. How much did 21 grams weigh?

Blowup (1966)

Michelangelo Antonioni
A successful mod photographer in London whose world is bounded by fashion, pop music, marijuana, and easy sex, feels his life is boring and despairing. But in the course of a single day he accidentally captures on film the commission of a murder. The fact that he has photographed a murder does not occur to him until he studies and then blows up his negatives, uncovering details, blowing up smaller and smaller elements, and finally putting the puzzle together.

Υπάρχει ακόμα νόημα σε μια φωτογραφία μετά από τη συνεχή μεγέθυνση της , ή μήπως αυτό το ακαθόριστο και αφηρημένο σύνολο που απομένει στη θέση της αφήνει την φαντασία να οργιάζει ; Τι είναι πραγματικότητα και τι ψευδαίσθηση ;
Μια ταινία-παζλ με το τελευταίο κομμάτι να αγνοείται (...η μήπως όχι ;)

Another lonely day...

Such a lonely day
And it's mine
The most loneliest day in my life

Such a lonely day
Should be banned
It's a day that I can't stand

The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life

Such a lonely day
Shouldn't exist
It's a day that I'll never miss

Such a lonely day
And it's mine
The most loneliest day of my life

And if you go,
I wanna go with you
And if you die,
I wanna die with you
Take your hand and walk away

The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life

Such a lonely day
And it's mine
It's a day that I'm glad I survived...
( System of a Down-Lonely Day )

Garbage -Special

Do you have an opinion
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I've run out of comments
I'm tired of the violence
I couldn't care less

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

Milos Forman

If he's crazy, what does that make you?

McMurphy(Jack Nicholson), a man with several assault convictions to his name, finds himself in jail once again. This time, the charge is statutory rape when it turns out that his girlfriend had lied about being eighteen, and was, in fact, fifteen (or, as McMurphy puts it, "fifteen going on thirty-five"). Rather than spend his time in jail, he convinces the guards that he's crazy enough to need psychiatric care and is sent to a hospital. He fits in frighteningly well, and his different point of view actually begins to cause some of the patients to progress. Nurse Ratched(Louise Fletcher) becomes his personal cross to bear as his resistance to the hospital routine gets on her nerves

Sentimental, funny, dramatic, intense, chilling,stunning, disturbing, diverting, tragic...

"Hagane no renkinjutsushi" (2003)

Seiji Mizushima

Also Known As: Fullmetal Alchemist

Τhey thought there was nothing more they could lose... They were wrong.

After their mother's death, Edward Elric and his younger brother, Alphonse, try using alchemy to bring her back to life. Unfortunately they do not fully take into account the law of equivalent exchange which requires a sacrifice of equal value to what one hopes to achieve. Not only do they fail to revive their mother but Edward loses an arm and a leg and Alphonse loses his entire body, forcing his soul to remain confined to an empty suit of armor. Seeking a way to restore their bodies, Edward becomes a state alchemist and the brothers begin a long search for the legendary Philosopher's Stone, an object purported to allow its users to ignore the law of equivalent exchange.

There is no such thing as perfection. This world itself is imperfect. That's what makes it so beautiful.
