Big Fish DVD box set: believe what you want to

Big Fish is the enchanting story of a father and son, but it's really the story of stories themselves. It's about all kinds of stories, from the first stories whispered by a father to a sleepy child to the stories a son tells his father to comfort him as he nears death. Facts are fine, but some truths can only be told by fiction, and this movie tells a captivating tale that is a delight for the eye, the heart, and the spirit. In a word, Big Fish DVD box set is worth doing collection.

Maybe we will ask when watching the movie, are Ed's stories true? Are they embellishments of fact? Or are they complete fabrications? The film answers this, but it also provides us with a final query...does it matter? Looking at Ed's saga, does it really matter whether those events he claims to have lived through actually happened? They're stories. If people accept them as real, then they're real. "Big Fish" ask us to let go of our common sense and simply believe that anything can happen. It sends us back to our childhood, a time when we knew slimy green monsters lived under the bed, not because we saw them, but rather because they had to live somewhere. Do you ever think back to some of the things you believed in as a child? Think about it. About how gullible you were. And now think about how fun life would be if you could still be that gullible. Just remember, anything can be real. All you have to do is believe.

Additionally, I associate the movie with the Life of Pi that is top one of the box office in recent days. At the end of the movie, Pi asked: two stories, which one you believe? So is Ed Bloom a big fish? Hey, what do you believe? 

The Phantom of the Opera DVD box set: what lies beneath the surface?

The Phantom of the Opera DVD box set opens at the Paris Opera-House in the late nineteenth-century, with the production of “Hannibal” (the elephant-tamer) coming to a halt when its temperamental star, La Carlotta (Minnie Driver), walks out during a dress rehearsal after threats from the mysterious Phantom (Gerard Butler), who has haunted the opera house for years. The theatre’s inexperienced new managers (Ciarán Hinds and Simon Callow) are at a loss, so they replace her with the young ingénue Christine, who has been taking singing lessons from this “opera ghost,” all without ever seeing him, yet believing him to being an “Angel of Music.”

Christine mesmerizes the audience and her new managers and quickly dethrones the arrogant diva, capturing the heart of her unseen tutor, whose facial deformities resulted in him being caged as a freak-show attraction for the first quarter of his life. But she also finds herself the object of affection of a childhood friend, the theatre’s wealthy patron, Vicompte Raoul de Chagny (Patrick Wilson). Torn between the striking Raoul and enigmatic Phantom, Christine sets off a rivalry between the two men for her love.

The music is still a delight. Every song is a rousing piece made up of either haunting lyrics (Christine sings of the “angel” as being sent by her deceased father) or cheerful fluffiness (one number has the two managers singing of the trouble the Phantom is causing). Even if you’ve never heard the songs or seen the show, you may be tempted to sing along.

The Phantom of the Opera DVD box set, much like the play, is about what lies beneath the surface. Beneath the opera house lays the dark, unsettling Phantom, and beneath his silky, featureless white mask is a face horribly deformed. Yet, for all of its references to the deceptions of appearance, there’s actually nothing underneath the surface of this film.

Finding Nemo DVD box set: just keeping swimming

 

 

Finding Nemo DVD box set is one of the cleverest films that I've seen. It combines brilliant animation with a great story and terrific voices to present an experience that works on many different levels.

In the film, there's a fish, Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), who has a short-term memory problem. A premise like that might not seem to be worth much, but the filmmakers get a lot out of mileage out it, coming up with jokes in a creative manner. There are several other things that are hilarious, including the mellow sea turtles, the whale-speak episode, the fish-eating sea gulls, the sharks who've vowed to not eat fish, and the co-inhabitants of the aquarium in which Nemo finds himself in. There are a lot of lines in the film that'll stick in your head, particularly the ones uttered by Dory.

The plot is set in a typical action-movie fashion, where both Marlin and Nemo end up in a series of adventures, including first reading the diver's snorkel mask to find out the address where Nemo is likely to be held, battling a horde of jellyfish and traversing the East Australian Current, and finally end up in Sydney Harbour.

It's hard to describe in words what a great film Finding Nemo is. I’m strongly crazy at it. The reasons why I am crazy at the Find Nemo:

1. How stubborn thought, we can modify and change;

2. Love him, we should consider carefully his requirements, analyze advantages and disadvantages, instead of selfishly thinking about ourselves and will wrap the others in our wings. In essence, sooner or later he will face your so-called forbidding world.

3. No matter what, no matter how much hit, just keep swimming.

It is right because my favor, I have the Finding Nemo DVD box set collection. If you want to invest it, you can also take a look the DVD box set online store.

Flipped DVD box set: let it be the one merits you

Do you think of your first love in adolescence? Do you remember those moments of heartbeats? "Flipped" DVD box set will make you remind of it once again.

Here is a lovely movie about a girl who has adored a boy ever since he moved into the neighborhood in the second grade. She even likes his smell, and it is true we cannot love someone who isn't aromatic to our hearts. All through grade school and into high school, she pursues him; they're like the runners in Keats' “Ode on a Grecian Urn” who pursue each other for eternity without ever drawing closer. In Reiner's film, they flip and start running in the other direction.

Madeline Carroll plays Juli Baker, who was determined to get Bryce Loski (Callan McAuliffe) to like her when they were kids, but in eighth grade has turned her attention to more urgent matters, like sparing the life of the beautiful sycamore tree in her front yard. It is threatened with being chopped down by the forces of evil, and she climbs it and won't come down. That shows some character, muses Bryce's grandfather Chet (John Mahoney). If he were Bryce, he'd notice a girl like that. Bryce begins to catch on.

The way "Flipped"  is presented, first telling a story through the eyes and thoughts of Bryce and then again through the eyes and thoughts of Juli, could have easily been a disaster in less capable hands, but, surprisingly, the audience never feels bored by the repetition. Nearly every event in the film is told at least twice but, because you are so invested in the characters, you actually begin to eagerly anticipate what the other side of the story will be. There are scenes in which Bryce senses Juli’s emotions, but you’ll want to take that look behind the curtain and understand why she feels the way she does.

When hearing the ending music of this film: let it be me, those memory left in the past begin to spread…

Schindler's List DVD box set: the magic of Steven Spielberg

No matter how much controversy people are for Spielberg movie is much controversy, those movies’ box office are first-class, inculpable. After his brewing for thirty years, Schindler's List DVD box setwas finally showed. In "schindler's list," Spielberg created a hero, but who is the real hero, Schindler or Stery boon? Who is to lead the Jews out of Egypt Moses?

The documentary style allows Spielberg to deliver his message without preaching. The clever use of light and shade also makes it visually stunning. When Oskar Schindler visits a night club, he looks like a 1930s movie star as his cigarette smoke spirals above his head, his eyes hidden in the shade.

It is the story of German businessman Oskar Schindler which captivates right to the end. He is transformed from physically imposing, charismatic philanderer to the humbled man, wishing he had saved more lives.

The Schindler's List is 184 minutes long, and like all great movies, it seems too short. It begins with Schindler (Liam Neeson), a tall, strong man with an intimidating physical presence. He dresses expensively and frequents nightclubs, buying caviar and champagne for Nazi officers and their girls, and he likes to get his picture taken with the top brass. He wears a Nazi party emblem proudly in his buttonhole. He has impeccable black market contacts, and he's able to find nylons, cigarettes, brandy: He is the right man to know. The authorities are happy to help him open a factory to build enameled cooking utensils that army kitchens can use. He is happy to hire Jews because their wages are lower, and Schindler will get richer that way.

All in all, we get, as the title implies, a list of people, of faces, of stories that make the atrocities of World War II real.

Die Welle

A huge hit in its native country, The Wave（Die Welle） DVD box set is loosely based on true events (although they happened in California, not Germany) and stars Jurgen Vogel as hip, leather-jacketed teacher Mr Wenger, who's annoyed when he's assigned autocracy instead of anarchy during School Political Project Week. However, he quickly gets fired up when his class argue over whether or not a dictatorship could still happen in modern day Germany, leading him to encourage his students to form their own political movement.

Needless to say, their movement (dubbed 'The Wave'), with its accompanying white shirt uniform and slogan of 'Discipline through Strength' proves surprisingly popular and soon the whole school is getting in on the act. Unfortunately, it soon becomes clear that some students are taking The Wave far more seriously than others, with disastrous results.

After watching the Wave (Die Welle) DVD box set, it gives us a unique view of high school life, perhaps only to people who aren’t from Germany (where the movie is set), where it’s not only all about bullying, gangs, and boring, run-of-the-mill storylines involving cheerleaders or school newspaper headlines. It doesn’t show the students as immature but rather as having potential and interesting ideas of their own, which I think reflects the truth of the real world.

The group's creation ("The Wave" of the title) starts off like an innocent and fairly simple exercise to get the students to work together and show their true potential. But as the movie goes on there are some fantastic layers of complexity which build up as the group gets more and more out of hand. We go from trying to come up with names and logos to running about the town spraying graffiti and fighting with the rival “Anarchist” gang. The well executed way in which this complexity comes about can only be put across if you see the movie for yourself.
