Everyone chooses films according to a different principle - someone likes movies with philosophical implications, someone watches movies only with their favorite actors, and some like to enjoy aesthetic viewing pleasure.
"Moulin Rouge" (Moulin Rouge!)
A vivid musical film with elements of comedy, drama, farce and burlesque is recognized as one of the most beautiful paintings. The picture was shot in 2001. Red-haired Nicole Kidman in the title role, an abundance of dance numbers, chic costumes earned the film the love of the audience and the respect of critics. The main actors themselves performed their vocal parts, and more than 80 tailors and cutters worked on the creation of the costumes. The role of courtesan Satin has become one of the best in the career of Nicole Kidman. During the filming, the actress broke a rib, but did not leave work on the film. Some close-ups were taken when Kidman was in a wheelchair. By the way, the jewelry that Satin wore was real. For example, one of the necklaces cost $ 1, 000, 000.
Sin City
This unusual and beautiful film was shot in 2005. The director of the film, Robert Rodriguez, based on the plot the popular graphic novels by Frank Miller. To convey a feature of the genre, the picture was shot in an unusual manner. The main video sequence of the film is black and white, the color of the individual details that play a special role in the film: a flashlight beam, blood spatter, and a lighter flame. Because of this, the picture is a bit like animation. The unusual color scheme attracted the attention of critics, and the film earned several prestigious awards, including the Golden Branch of the Cannes Film Festival. The actors involved contributed to the popularity of the picture - Mickey Rourke, Elijah Wood, Rutger Hauer, Bruce Willis, Jessica Alba and other Hollywood stars.
"Dolls" (The Dolls)
The picture of the famous Japanese director Takeshi Kitano, shot in 2002, consists of three short stories, which at first glance are not connected. But in all of them, the main theme is dramatic love and death, Eros and Thanatos, two basic human instincts. The stories shown are a little exaggerated and far-fetched, some have fantastic features, but the main impression is on the video sequence of the film. Bright costumes, magnificent landscapes and clearly arranged frames speak louder than words. The picture uses many characters and visual hints. There are no long philosophical considerations, funny moments or overly intense scenes. Kitano shows the power of pure art based on the aesthetics of the frame.
"Hero" (Hero)
Oriental aesthetics has always attracted viewers. Zhang Yimou's film "Hero", created in 2002, was no exception. The nameless warrior easily deals with three conspirators who want to kill the emperor. In gratitude, he was invited to the imperial palace to the highest audience. However, the emperor is very smart and unravels the main intention of the hero, completely unrelated to love for the monarch. The film is one of the most beautiful thanks to the original productions of fights, colorful landscapes and mass scenes. All fight scenes are more like dance sketches, and the surrounding landscapes emphasize the symbolism of the battles.
