Alive and Kicking (2016)
Feel good movie which makes you wanna swing!
Still waiting for that Hollywood non documentary movie about the roots of Lindy Hop with a great story (about Franky) and a lot of dance in it. Why isn't this here yet still?
This documentary movie really portraits how most (lindy hop) swing dancers feel! It makes me wanna dance, it makes me feeling good, it makes me want to dress up vintage style and it makes me want to see more new movies about swing dance! Please someone, make that Hollywood movie! Waiting for years now. (And yes I have seen all the existing other movies like Swing Kids).
In the mean time, enjoy Alive and Kicking and start dancing if you aren't yet. I watch it once every year since it is out 😉
Mary and Max. (2009)
I felt happy, in love an sad at the same time.
This movie actually gave me the reason to sign up here, because I had to rate it. I loved it!
I felt happy, in love an sad at the same time. I love the song perpetuum mobile of the penguin café orchestra, which is used as the theme. That sets the mood. And I like the fact that a serious storyline like this one is presented through an cartoon like animation.
I think it's brilliantly written. People will get a better understanding of this disorder and more important, maybe others will empathize with the characters as much as I do. I think it's beautiful how these two so different worlds meet each other and seam to understand each other in a way.
Definitely not a film for kids, although the underlying message of self-acceptance, of course, is for everyone.
Thanks Adam Elliot!
