A historical drama by George Clooney, a war film about Ireland, a popular comedy-drama adapted by Emily Blunt, and finally The Informant starring Matt Damon and directed by Steven Soderbergh.
Due to some work issues, the number 233 of trends’s series of articles “What movie to watch this weekend” arrived with a day delay. For this reason, the article “What to play on the weekend” will be presented to the respected audience of trends on Thursday, instead of Wednesday.
The movie introductory article is full of famous Hollywood actors and puts in front of you a list of four different works with their presence. Of course, some of these famous actors were not famous at all at the time of making these films. It must also be acknowledged that the first film and the last film on the list can be considered less than two intermediate works. As a result, every respected audience, when deciding whether or not to watch them, should think more about how well each of these cinematic works fits their tastes.
Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005)
A variety of cinematic works can be found depicting the battle of different media with politicians in different time periods. The desire of people to hear the truth about people who do not feel good about them makes such films have a chance to be welcomed. Because they show that if some people did not have the courage to speak certain professions, perhaps very bad things would have happened in the world.
As director of the $ 7 million film Good Night, and Good Luck, George Clooney realized what a heavy burden falls on the shoulders of honest people; People who can expose lies and at least give some people the opportunity to make facts based on facts. One of the most important aspects of the film’s storytelling is related to the news team’s internal battle with the financiers who are financed by the television network at work.
Of all the actors in the film, Robert Downey Jr. has a not-so-big yet key role. As part of this important project, he must prevent his colleagues from confusing the details of his personal life. As a result, there is an interesting contrast between the nature of one of his personal goals and the important work done by this team.
secrets should be kept secret? Which secrets should be revealed to everyone? Who should decide on this?
The Wind that Shakes the Barley (2006)
When confronted with brutal violence, it awakens a sense of responsibility in the person, rather than scaring them away. Damien is a medical student who wants to move to London to complete her education. But the Irish Civil War for independence kept him at home. Even after that, although the war is not permanent and the situation changes, the scars remain on the body of the country and the people.
Years before the famous actor with Pike Blinders became world famous, Ken Loach used the power of Kyle Murphy’s role in this film in the best possible way; With a story centered on two brothers whose war fronts pit them against each other.
The film’s story takes place in the 1920s, and the filmmaker’s mastery of the story allows The Wind that Shakes the Barley to succeed in keeping its narrative focused on the main characters while being tied to a vast human-related event.
The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
The Devil Wears Prada is undoubtedly one of those films that, over time, has greatly highlighted the strange tone of its storytelling; The tone with which it is difficult to conclude about the purpose of this film and the quality of its content. But there is no doubt about the fun of the work and the richness of its excellent designs. An audience that enjoys watching American comedy-drama probably still has many reasons to watch The Devil Wears Prada. Because the work in question is successful in implementing the main components of this style and tells a multi-line story following the principles of Hollywood screenwriting.
The story is about two groups of characters; Powerful people who value their power and people who are kicked by society who want to look bigger by clinging to the powerful. Some of them really do work as an activity that contributes to the flow of life, and some of them are for live work. The contrast of all the types in question is seen in the form of the triangle of Meryl Streep , Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt .
We understand Blunt’s role-playing power better when we recall his small presence in the film compared to the other two actors. She used so many limited sequences to land her role on The Devil Wears Prada storytelling that Emily Charlton became even more memorable to some than Andrea; So much so that some found the character’s decisions more believable and related to his strange hard work.
The Informant! (2009)
Spy-focused stories respond in the cinema provided the main actor is able to do so after portraying all the tensions. Steven Soderbergh , of course , made sure that he did not have to worry about this from the moment he chose Matt Damon as the lead actor in The Informant! In the meantime, it should be remembered that Soderbergh’s black comedy also gave Damon a great opportunity to add special details to Mark’s character. The result was a work that, after all, is not just “another biographical film centered on real contradictions.”
The Informant can be considered a crime film with an insecure narrator who wanted to be a simple adaptation and use its cinematic capacity. This is not a work that all audiences will love. But some of the people who moved with the character to the truth at the center of the film’s story feel the deep sadness that has shaped this narrative piece by piece.
