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.

Think of Prom as High School Musical with heavy doses of teen-aged angst. Summarizing Prom in frighteningly reductive terms, Disney says, "A group of teenagers get ready for their high school prom," and the producers list it simultaneously as "comedy" and "drama." If you read only that description, you easily could conclude Prom dramatizes debutantes' struggles with mascara and up-dos. To her everlasting credit, Aimee Teegarden, veteran of heavy high school drama in "Friday Night Lights," goes a long way toward redeeming Prom from its awkward identity crisis. With a properly delicate and ironic touch, Ms. Teegarden effectively captures every sophisticated senior's inchoate recognition that "valedictory" means farewell and "commencement" is a synonym for "see ya." "Nova, Ms. Teegarden's allegorically named character, recognizes her pet antagonist probably is the ideal prom date, heavy on the fun factor and devoted to keeping rented tuxedos and poofy dresses in perspective. The unlikely pair contrasts sharply with Mei and Tyler, swept-away sweethearts, who wrestle with conscience and logistics as they work to wring every last micro-gram of meaning and romance from "the biggest night of their lives.""Set for release the last weekend of April, 2011, Prom may or may not set the tone for the Class of 2011's dining and dancing extravaganzas, but it surely will provide invaluable fashion and etiquette tips.
