In this month’s issue, the theme freedom is especially
high anticipated in Malaysia, as our independence day is just around the
corner. The definition of freedom can differ in everyone, whether its freedom
for the country, for oneself or for the color of your skin.
In this article, we open our eyes to the word ‘Freedom’
by peering into the background story of two famous films bellow.
You can write to us regarding your description of freedom
and let us know by submitting your article!
Selma (2014)
This brilliant movie directed by Ava DuVernay portrays a
time when Civil Rights Act 1964 was signed and how the South’s discrimination
towards blacks were still widespread, making it difficult for the people to register
to vote. This film follows the journey of Dr. Marti Luther King in fighting for
the African American’s right to decide their future, thus ensure freedom on
their part.
This film is based on the true story of how Selma fought
for their voices to be heard. In this modern era, racism has not been
distinguished entirely. Through the recent cases of the murders of black lives,
it seems as if the history may be repeating itself.
This artwork is a must watch! The depiction of hardship
through this movie is one that needs to be acknowledged and appreciated. Independence
should be attained together. Selma is rated 99% by Rotten Tomatoes and 7.5/10
by IMDb. Kanese gives it 4/5 for its true definition of freedom.
Wild (2014)
Directed by Jean-Marc Valee, Wild is based on Cheryl Strayed‘s
(Reese Witherspoon) struggle in finding herself after the loss of her mother
(Laura Dern). Cheryl decided on hiking her way through the Pacific Crest Trail
in hopes of finding her true self, while fixing herself from her
self-destructive behavior.
This movie made it into this article due to the
undeniable factor in finding your own path is most likely leading to freeing
your own self. Cheryl tries her best to be a better human being a soon as she
realized her life was heading downhill. She took the initiative to embrace
change. In a way, this is her representation of freedom.
This film will fill your eyes with tears and not enough
tissue boxes would help dry your soul. Wild is a touching movie that will move
every soft bone in you. It is easily a 4.5/5 stars. A must see film to get you
motivated to start living!
After our month of hiatus, movies in theatres have been dominating all the movie goers. Kanese reviews two latest movies that changes the image of comedians; Amy Schumer and Paul Rudd.
1. Trainwreck (2015) – Amy Schumer
An American romantic comedy directed by the famous Judd Apatow and written by comedian Amy Schumer who also stars in this film. The storyline depicts a character by the name of Amy (Amy Schumer) that faces her fears of commitment when she finally meets Aaron, the perfect guy (Bill Hader). The thought of monogamy to Amy seems impossible and impractical after the divorce of her parents. Amy must make difficult decisions in her life for the first time regarding relationships and her career.
In this film, Amy Schumer portrays herself as more than a comedic relief on the big screen. It shows a whole new shade of seriousness in her character. Amy has written a story plot in which it faces all life’s ‘lemons’ in battling with addiction, loss and the ability to overcome fear and embrace change. Amy showed us a new side of her and introduces to all of her fans to the deeper side of herself.
Rotten Tomatoes have given this film an easy 86% ratings, while The New York Times expressed their reaction towards the movie with this quote “It’s very funny and sweet and even a little weepy, and it has maybe the best scene ever filmed of dirty talk gone wrong. In other words, it’s a Schumer/Apatow production — may there be more to come”. This movie is a must watch and an easy 4/5 stars.
Marvel’s Ant Man was a huge hit directed by Peyton Reed that stars Paul Rudd as Ant Man himself. This story follows Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), a cat burglar fresh out of prison when he is summoned by Dr. Hank (Michael Douglas) to arm himself with a super-suit that has the ability to shrink as small as an ant and still possesses strength of more than 100 men. Ant Man must save the world when a villain creates a similar suit to dictate Ant Man’s powers, thus taking over the world.
Paul Rudd is known for his humor as a comedian, however, through this film, he portrays a different side full of intense emotions. This film does not rip away his natural funny bones, but it helps boost his image to us viewers as a growing movie star.
Ant-Man brings out a powerful message of the significance of family ties and remorse plus the sense of new beginning. This movie is full of action and is sure to bring out more laughter than heartbreak. It deserves a 3.5/5 stars in our book. A must watch summer movie!
It is the year of women around the world where feminism seem to be the topic for every coffee conversation at cafes. In honours of the International Women’s Day last March, this section would like to dedicate a list of women in a film with a strong image and empowerment.
Action:
Salt (2010): Angelina Jolie
Her loyalty was tested when a traitor accuses her of being a Russian spy. Salt made her escape, using all her skills and years of experience as a secret operative to avoid capture. Salt's efforts to prove her innocence only creates doubt on her motives.
Angelina Jolie portrayed a strong, independent individual that could withhold any obstacles, that being of the physical or the emotion state. The character was written with much class and justification from Kurt that every young generation can look up to the bold characteristics of Evelyn.
Angelina proved worthy of this part as she herself obtains the qualities of a strong witted woman/ leader.This film gets 4 stars out of 5 for a quality story line and a perfectly written protagonist.
Biography:
Big Eyes (2014) : Amy Adams
Directed by the famous Tim Burton, this film was based on true events focusing on the life of American artist, Margaret Keane. Amy Adams takes on the role of Margaret in this heart wrenching story of her uprising fame. In this film, it takes place in the 1950s where Margaret’s painting was recognised by the public while it was hung in the hallway of a famous pub in town.The twist of the story is that her husband (Christopher Waltz) claimed the art to be his. Therefore she was told to keep her mouth shut as her husband took all the credit. This was until one day she has had enough of the humiliation and demanded her rights to be credited for her big eye paintings.
Amy Adams studied Margaret Keane well for this role in order to avoid any misinterpretation of her character. Adams put in determination and discipline into bringing out the independent character of Margaret onto the big screens. This film deserves 4.5 stars out of 5 for it’s in depth story line and acting.
Drama:
The Help: Viola Davis, Emma Stone and Octavia Spencer

This story focuses around three women which are Skeeter Phelan (Emma Stone), Aibileen Clark (Viola Davis) and Minny Jackson (Octavia Spencer) around the 1960s during the civil rights movement era.

As this story progressed, it focuses more on the freedom of speech and the limitations it actually possess.
Davis, Stone and Spencer were complimented greatly on their roles in this movie as they portrayed the strength and bravery of the characters in ever face expressions and body languages. They did not hesitate to go all out on their talent and put the rightful characteristics for such a sensitive issued film regarding racism in America.
