If you've ever dreamed about seeing together such a brilliant ensemble cast as Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Helena Bonham Carter, Patrick Godfrey and Sacha Baron Cohen in one movie, your dream has come true with Tom Hooper's film Russell Crowe produced by Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Debra Hayward and Cameron Mackintosh. William Nicholson has written a screenplay for this musical based upon the Les Misérables aka Les Mis or Les Miz, a 19-th century French theatre musical which was incredibly popular both in the Europe and America. The original source of Les Misérables is Victor Hugo's novel of the same name which was written in 1862. The story of Les Misérables is focusing on the live and fate of ex-convict Jean Valjean and his experience of the redemption. The musical immerses us in the turmoil of the pre- June Rebellion times starting in 1815 and reaching its pivotal point in 1835 with all the well-known consequences. However, let's back to Tom Hooper's adaptation: the brilliant cast is not the everything of this musical drama – you just need to hear the voice of Russell Crowe singing in Les Misérables to understand what a huge hit you faced.

Hachi: A Dog's Story looks very respectable thanks to beautifully grown old Richard Gere.

Something here is not real in the movie. However, when your eyes filled with tears, you will not be able to consider.

The American is a contemplative movie, yet unhurried and relaxed. Anton Korbeyn, who previously filmed only music videos, directed the movie ideally for the Clooney manner of playing. And that he succeeded. "Perhaps the director's fascination with photography was reflected in the "The American". The film is filled with static plans, where the sound is not important. In terms of speech: it is composed of multicolored mosaic of Italian and English, and the latter felt quite out of place, as the killer himself is an American lost somewhere in Italy in a small quiet town. Minor characters are also transmitted perfectly. There are two faces: a prostitute fallen in a true love, and a priest with a dark spot in his heart, that's a circle of acquaintances of the person cannot make friends. "The only thing that stands out from the track is the ending. During the movie could be the same hope for happy ending, or wait for the sad ending, and the result is an incomprehensible jumble. "But "The American" is an excellent movie, which in case you want to look for a second time, did not enjoy the story, or tricks with the shooting, and a serene image with an already old Clooney as the central figure. And in general, it is recommended to all the fans of the actor, as well as connoisseurs of European cinema.
