comes across a fruit seller girl and falls in love with her at first sight, he follows her but she get scared and tries to scream so he

puts his hand on her mouth and she dies. He didn’t want to let go the feeling of love (fragrance is used as a symbol of love) that

he never had before and he is so obsessively wants to save it. Trying to discover how to preserve the essence of love he goes

away from society and meditates in a cave till it occurs to him that the fruit seller girl didn’t even see him, she was blind to his

love. He also realizes that what he thought was his love, in fact was his lust because he doesn’t have the essence of love in him.

He thinks that he can get that love from other women but that he gathers from other women isn’t the essence of love; it’s the

essence of lust which intoxicates people and makes them lose their morals and virtues. Realizing that he can never love or be

AND YOURSELF”

No one showed him what is loved, since he was an outcast. Miserable and terrible life s what he experience in his whole life. He

returned to his country to the poor, and feed himself to those hungry with the perfume in his body so that those poor might obtain

love in the society of this world. Hoping that after they ate him, the power of hypnotism of love and compassion in that perfume

Loved the relationship between Harry & his father; how they both couldn't admit their failure to each other and was

always trying to cover it up and make it up for each other. Also loved that he painted the painting out of his father's

face, that was really deep; he finally gave him the recognition he deserved even in a forged painting.

Harry Donovan is an art forger who paints fake Rembrandt picture for $500,000. The girl he meets and gets into bed

with in Paris, Marieke, turns out to be an arts expert Harry’s clients are using to check the counterfeit picture

"Human emotions are like art. They can be forged."

Virgil the main character of the story kept many panting of a girls portrait in a secret room which he puts all of the

painting. When he see the painting, he feel comfort and easement

He lives in lonely splendor in a penthouse apartment filled with statues and artwork, complete with a secret room

filled with his favorite paintings (all of women, giving Virgil creepy shades of Bluebeard). He always wears gloves.

He has no friends. Well, except for a brilliant young mechanic named Robert (Jim Sturgess), who fixes ancient

equipment in a gigantic storefront in a posh section of town, making you wonder how the hell he can afford rent on

such a joint. Robert never rises above his role as a blatant plot device, a phony "listening ear" to Virgil so that we

can know what Virgil is thinking.

 There is no reason for Virgil and Jim to be friends, and for Virgil to start to confide in Jim about his obsession with

Claire strains belief. Since we don't see Claire for the majority of the film, when she does appear we are as curious

about her as Virgil is. She's an agoraphobic who has never been outside the house since she was a teenager.
GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES
Director: Isao Takahata

Japanese: 火垂るの墓

Story by: Akiyuki Nosaka

I watched this movie a year ago. Since then i respect the value of food and everyday i don't waste
even a small amount of food. Learnt what food means.

shes telling him to stay with her is the saddest part she wanted food but more than that she wanted
him by her side.

This little boy is strong.

heartbreaking story of survival and war told through the eyes of 2 siblings. this movie really hits and
after, you kinda just sit there and try to collect yourself. it’s sad enough that this sort of thing
happened but getting such an intimate look at it is what leaves you in silence and tears.

The movie is brilliant because the storyline progresses through the perspective of the children,
Setsuko and Seita. It only shows how kids perceive wars and try to grasp the reality around them
which changes very quickly.
The movie is about WW II and it's impact on the lives of civilians, esp children. But the movie doesn't
go into technicalities of the war, rather builds itself around the harrowing experiences of this brother
and sister duo and how they deal with the circumstances through limited knowledge and awareness
of the world. So, the viewer doesn't know about the ongoing war and what's happening any more
than the protagonist Seita himself.
The 14 year old boy is forced to quickly grow up as the society shows it's back to all unfortunates,
even his relatives. He also acknowledges that there is little he can do to improve upon his
circumstances while he does his best in trying to look after his 4 year old sister.
It's a story of tremendous loss and the pain that comes with it, the despair and strive for survival. It
makes us realize that wars may have winners or losers, it's infliction may be justified by war mongers
but it never spares anyone, rich or poor, winner or loser, guilty or innocent and that both sides have
hands drenched with blood.
THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE (2005)

Awards: MTV Movie Award for Most Frightened Performance

Screenplay: Scott Derrickson, Paul Harris Boardman

The lesson I got from this movie is, however hard you try to give facts or evidences to prove either beliefs are
good or bad, you won’t have any clear solution in the end. [SPOILER STARTS] See how finally Erin Bruner
lost her “factual” weapons and how she was shifted from defending Father Moore for the sake of her job
position to how she gets inspired by her internal feeling that she wants people to know that this unimaginable
thing could really happen. She ignores the instruction of her senior, she doesn’t have anything she can present
in front of the jury to prove factually that this exorcism, possession, and—moreover—spiritualism thingy is
fact: she was just there, sharing her own experiences about her belief regarding to this case and trying to touch
the juries on their hearts. And finally, how juries finally commit that Father Moore is guilty regardless of how
real Erin tried to reconstruct the exorcism is an undoubted proof of the lesson I absorb, that somehow, trying to
prove the validity of beliefs or religions is stupid—while trying to find a good reason of certain moral actions
can be as stupid. [SPOILER ENDS]

Exorcism is based on faith and a non-believer or person of another faith mind find ridiculous abuse
of religion resulting in risk to a patient who is suffering.

I would like to give this movie 4.5 out of 5 stars. This movie isnt a generic biopic of
prominent,respectable person but is based on a true story on a stockbroker named Jordan belfort.Its
a rollercoaster ride which takes Jordan from nobody to a rich man. This movie was quite inspiring
and I absolutely enjoyed Belforts character.He is clever, bold,risk-taking, badass,has a chill-out
attitude,has effective leadership skills which made a synergistic effect over a team of 250.The movie
also showed that some incidents or people in our life might show us a complete new different
direction which may be positive or negative like in the movie Mathew guided Belfort how to earn
more money ,how to deal with the customers.This leaded a significant change in Belforts personality.
Also, this movie is a must watch movie for a person who is obsessed,wolfish for vitamin M.The cast
was incredibly amazing.Margor Robbie,Jonah hill,Mathew played their parts nicely.I just loved
watching 3 hours of intensity.Loved the freakiness of the movie.One of the classic movies available.

This movie was quite inspiring and I absolutely enjoyed Belfort’s character. He is clever, bold, risk-
taking, has a chill attitude, and has effective leadership skills which made a synergistic effect. The
movie also showed that some incidents or people in our life might show us a complete new different
direction which may be positive or negative like in the movie Mathew guided Belfort how to earn
more money, how to deal with the customers. This leaded a significant change in Belfort’s
personality.
Margor Robbie, Jonah hill, Mathew played their parts nicely. I just loved watching 3 hours of
intensity.

The cleverness of The Wolf of Wall Street is the way this lesson is presented. At the beginning of the
movie, the audience is expected to root for Belfort. But as he breaks down and his empire starts to
fall in the third act, the tone of the movie takes a sharp turn to better reflect the reality of what can
happen if you fly too close to the sun. This is another reason why I love this movie so much, it made
me feel a lot of different emotions as I followed Jordan Belfort throughout his journey. From the initial
rise and euphoria as he starts making millions and enjoying a life of indulgence, to the end, where
his true, corrupt self starts showing and he faces the consequences of his actions.
I also want to praise the amazing cast, the clever and hilarious dialog and the pacing of the movie,
even though it is 3 hours long, every minute feels memorable. I recommend The Wolf of Wall Street
to anyone, but I discourage looking up to Belfort as a role model. Be a good person.

Based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, from his rise to a wealthy stock-broker living the high life to his fall involving
crime, corruption and the federal government.
