Hey all (:
I won't write about my favourite movie (Edward Scissorhands) just because i think everybody has seen it and i don't want to write of something not too interesting (or maybe 'new') . Then i thought about of another favourite movie for me (Requiem for a Dream) i mean, i love it, but the angst attacks me hardly after i see it, so i won't call it favourite because it would be almost masochist.
I guess you don't care about all the wondering process before i chose the movie that i will write about, so i will write about my final desition, and it is:

Brutti sporchi e cattivi
by Ettore Scola
Brutti, sporchi e cattivi; or "Ugly, Dirty and Bad" is a film made in 1976, directed by Ettore Scola (Italian, his last movie is Gente di Roma) who won Best Director award in Cannes Film Festival in that year and was nominated to Gold Palm in the same event.
I bought it two years ago and i saw it with a friend at his house (boyfriend at the time) and we loved it (:
I think we liked it because of the very high dose of sacarsm, it reachs the limit between disgusting and grotesque, and people is very damn cruel. I mean, it's not gore. Let me introduce you to the movie (maybe the first introduction wasn't very nice ahahaha)

This movie is about how poverty is lived in Italy, tells the story about a family who lives piled up in a cardboard "house" in one of the small mountains in Italy, in a village of very poor people. In this family there is a guy, the family boss, who has a small fortune, he is so swine with all his family. The story starts showing the way that all of his family hates him and how he thinks that everybody wants to kill him because of his fortune; and how he begins to spend it with another woman and... well that's the movie.

I strongly recommend this movie, is an awesome social critic and everytime you see it (i've seen it 2 or 3 times) you discover new things. You laugh, you hate, you love and -the more important thing i think it has- you criticize the society and how the way it is built makes some people never came out of poverty cicle.
When i bought this movie, somebody told me (you had a boyfriend, it looks like... cshdahda) to see ALL Ettore Scola movies, that if i liked this movie then i'll love the other ones. Well, i've not seen any of another Ettore Scola's Movies, so i think i should check them out.
Finally; if you wondered about all the movies that came into my mind when i were thinking about which one to write, then, i'll leave you here a small list:
Bonjour Monsieur Schlomi { a movie written, directed & filmed in Israel, it's about a boy -Schlomi- who is very helpful with all his family, but he left himself away, the story tells the way he finds himself again }
Three Extreme { Three short movies from Oriental directors, it's supposed to be an 'horror trylogy' but i think is only suspense with some bizarre & hilarious scenes at the end of each movie }
Amores Perros { holy crap. it's like CRASH, but one thousand times better. }
Sorry, Haters { about sad people in the world. but is not about that, but in it's deepness show you all those angsty things }
Le fabuleux destin du Amelie Poulain { you got to be happy, no matter what }
Donnie Darko { i think i did not get it. i saw the second half without subtitles, maybe this is the reason why i liked it alot ahahaha }
500 days of summer { i just loved it, is that kind of movies that makes your heart to beat again }
Here is something totally new. I'll have to watch some of these. I love Donnie Darko, Amores perros, 500 days,
