Description

A Roman hero, Coriolanus absolutely hated the people who revered him. His extreme views and inflexible beliefs incited riots and turned Ancient Rome into a bloody battleground. Even his mother, Volumnia, turned against him as politicians strove to outmaneuver and manipulate him into being more peaceful. One of the most violent periods in Roman history and with plenty of action and violence, this side of Shakespeare presents us with a viewpoint on how dangerous it was to live in Rome back then. Great location shots and plenty of fight scenes make this a fast paced film in which Shakespearian language dominates but is still easy to understand and follow.ctor Ralph Fiennes (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Parts 1 & 2) doubles as director and star of Coriolanus, is Caius Martius Coriolanus. Gerard Butler (Machine Gun Preacher, The Bounty Hunter) is Tullus Audfidius, Vanessa Redgrave (The Whistleblower, Letters to Juliet) portrays Volumnia, mother of Coriolanus, and Jessica Chastain (The Help, Take Shelter) is Virgilia, wife of Coriolanus. Watch for plenty of bloodshed and violence which was evidently what Ancient Rome was all about.

Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

Eat Pray Love

Eat Pray Love

Eat, Pray, Love movie is obviously made with the claim that the method of Gilbert will be the panacea for all forms of women's existential crisis. The formula is simple: please the body, harden the spirit and everything flashy will reunite with the spiritual. Well, as any guide to practical psychology, this film is interesting only to those who need to stop worrying and start living. Remaining one hundred thirty-three minutes of screen time will be given easy. Hooked on the book, the filmmakers did not bother to spice up your creation more apparent irony, rather than one that reduces to a truly remarkable scene of the first conversation with God, Liz, and questionable character jokes about overweight, gained in Rome. There is some lack of a lightness of romantic comedies or the depths of serious cinema in this drama with elements of road movie…
