Withnail & I

Description

Withnail and I is a British comedy-drama film that was released in 1987. It was written and directed by Bruce Robinson, and stars Richard E. Grant, Paul McGann, and Richard Griffiths. The movie is set in 1969 and follows two unemployed actors, Withnail and Marwood, as they leave their squalid apartment in London and escape to the countryside for a holiday.

The movie was not a box office success upon its release, but it has since become a cult classic. It is known for its witty dialogue, memorable characters, and dark humor. The movie also features an iconic performance by Richard E. Grant as the flamboyant and alcoholic Withnail.

Withnail and I is often praised for its depiction of a generation that was disillusioned with society and struggling to find their place in the world. The movie also explores themes of friendship, addiction, and the search for meaning in life. The movie's ending is bittersweet, with Withnail choosing to remain in his destructive lifestyle while Marwood moves on to a new chapter in his life. The movie's final scene, in which Withnail recites a soliloquy from Hamlet, has become one of the most famous moments in British cinema.

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.

Zookeeper immediately deserves nomination for the "Cute" Hall of Fame. Or "precious" or "adorable" or one of those ever so warm and friendly adjectives that describe both people and animals you just want to hug with all your might. You must understand that the animals star in Zookeeper, and the people are the supporting cast. Naturally teddy-bearish Kevin James stars as Griffin Keyes, long-time zookeeper who doesn't get out much. More at home with his critters than members of his own species, the zookeeper bravely resolves to leave the zoo and venture out into the bigger world, where he hopes, naturally enough, he can get a life and get a girl. When the animals ferret-out Griffin's plan, they feel so desperately heart-broken they elect to break their "code of silence," revealing not only that they can talk but also that they have quite a bit to say on questions of love, romance, and mating. Rosario Dawson plays Kate, "the girl." The animals, of course, conspire to help their boy win the girl and to keep their happy family together. Seriously, how cute is that!"Zookeeper features an exceptionally high-powered collection of voice talents: Adam Sandler plays a Capuchin monkey, Cher appropriately plays a lioness opposite Sylvester Stallone's lion, Billy Crystal plays a llama, and the venerable Don Rickles gives us his very best frog. And that's just the headliners. Zookeeper also has the strange distinction of going into the film history books as the last movie MGM studios wrapped before it went into bankruptcy. That part isn't cute—just quirky.
