The Ones Who Stands Out

I just watched a heart-wrenching movie last night. Just a few movies can send me reaching for a tissue, the pleats of my skirt, the shirts i wear, or even the sheets of my beddings just to wipe the tears already cascading down on my cheeks in 9.8 m/sec squared speed. Not to mention the salty and sticky fluid inching away from my nostrils crawling at a relatively slower pace. The movie last night was so noteworthy that I decided to create this blog just to ink these masterpieces for eternity in my blogsite, for as long as this site remains free. I heard this movie years ago, and knowing who stars in it, i took note of the title - Blood Diamond. I am not a fan of Leo's masculinity, nor his face, but I adore how he renders the personalities he plays on his movies. Credible, raw, fresh, real. Here's the list of actors and actresses I chose who I believe should be given special places in movie history records to be reminisced time and again by those people who would want to make it big on the big screen and for those people who just mar the industry with their so called "talents".

1. Leonardo di Caprio
a) Blood Diamond
(I cried. Yes I cried! Not ashamed of it. He CAN play a crooked, sly smuggler who will speak of anything just to get his way. Did it convincingly! I give due credit to Djimon Hounsou who portrays an innocent fisherman trapped in life's circumstances. You would just be dishearted with such a poor innocent fellow being forced into lying and deceiving people just to get his family back. Their scenes ranges from heartbreaking to hilarious antics played so well each time.)

b) Revolutionary Road
(What defines happiness?? Watch and you'll get answers.)

c) The Aviator
(See how sanity becomes a condition whose existence is just defined by people who are afraid to take chances and follow the norms set by others who selfishly guard themselves from "insane" ones just to live the normal, boring, unproductive lives.)

d) Titanic
(It's not just the box-office. It's the tearjerker moments when you see what would matter in your life when you know you are about to die, what can you do just to survive, what would you do when you know you are to sacrifice your life just to save others'.)


2. Tom Hanks
a) Castaway
(whoever who have watched the scene where Wilson was caught by a wave and was swept away from the beach, including Tom's life (man! damn that wave), and did not cry a bucket of tears would be either clinically dead or have gone to the CR, and returning back to ask question on what happened, wailed thereafter, and screamed - "WHY!!!???").

b) The Terminal
(The innocentness of the main character was just amazingly captured by Tom you would immediately pity him for having lost his country momentarily. It is amazing that we dont see variety in the shoot locations, but never have I thought of monotony about the film. Just amazing! Amazing!.. again Amazing!)

c) Saving Private Ryan
(Not for the mild-hearted! Dare to watch this movie! Laugh, cry (lots of it) and wonder, why the heck are we killing and hurting one another this way??)
