Love in the Afternoon (1957)

One film about True Love. A four-man band played an important in the film, such a romantic one. Audrey Hepburn, the daughter of a dective, helps a rich one escape from death and falls in love with him. It is a wonderful stroy about love. Hepburn is good at showing her kindheart in such kind movie. I like it. It's amazing such a black-and-white film has a color post. Sometimes such one gives more emphersis on the story itself than the color ones which attract people mainly on the scene or the colorful world.

" Is it a revenge of some sort " " But what kind of revenge is it if you're dead?" Jose just sat in silence. William never got the answer until he was leaving while Jose was sent to be hung. The answer was about civilization.

IMAX - Adrenaline Rush

"Adrenaline Rush" explores the innards of risk taking in a wide and spectacular way. From the "explosive" science and entrepreneurship of Alfred Nobel to a schoolboy's first day in class, from the boldness and determination of Henry Ford to the shy but affectionate sentiment of a teen for another, "Adrenaline Rush" brings us on a journey in the multidimensional world of risk, a world where progress of humankind or personal accomplishment aren't necessarily related to the scope or the nature of the endeavor.
"Adrenaline Rush" also teaches us that humanity can benefit from the unexpected and combined efforts of two very different risk takers whose minds meet across half a millennium and across the boundaries of the Old and New Worlds, as we witness the experiment of Leonardo Da Vinci's notorious parachute by Adrian Nicholas, world's most respected skydiver and inventor in his own right, monitored closely by Salford scientists who seek answers on critical and life pertaining matters. Incidentally, "Adrenaline Rush" doesn't hesitate to explain scientific concepts in simple words. From the soaring and breathtaking cliffs of Norway to the calm and inspiring immensity of the Mojave Desert, from Thomas Edison's laboratory to a simple American schoolyard, "Adrenaline Rush" is more than a thrilling visual experience, it's an invitation to explore our inner selves and a statement that there is no such thing as having little courage.

Infamous (2006)


It is a different version of the same stroy with the earlier "Capote" and somebody thinks it difficult to compare "Infamous" with it.
" It's funny. It made him. He never wrote anything big again just collections, fragments put together. God knows he didn't have to write. After all he had enough money in Cold Blood."
Trueman Capote was a little man who was often thouht to be a lady or a sissy exactly when you heard the voice. He was a special one who had his way to get familiar with people he wanna catch. That might be why he made his success. By his genius, he developed a close relationship with the twoe muder suspects. That made him. I do not care what ruined him. All I need is that. That's enouth.

The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)

Happyness not happiness, it was just a misspelled on the wall of a kindergarten which was operated by Miss Zhu. Chris Gardner (by Will Smith) and his son Christopher (by Jaden Smith) will tell you what the heck happiness really is. It is intersting that Jaden Smith is like in the film the son of Will Smith.
