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.

Comedy & Humor
An amusingly ridiculous black comedy "Seven Psychopaths" is a McDonagh's next masterpiece created in a black comedy genre. It tells the story about an author, Marty who is out of inspiration to finish his novel "Seven Psychopaths". Marty is played by an Irish actor, Collin Farrell who may be known to you by his roles in Minority Report (2002), In Bruges (2008) and Total Recall (2012). His friend Billy tries his best to help Marty to finish writing the book "inspiring" him by getting into the troubles, constantly. Billy is portrayed by Sam Rockwell, who is known to you as Sam Bell from Moon (2009) and Kenneth Waters from Conviction (both are serious roles in the serious films with lots of awards and nominations). Billy is a pure criminal with sadistic attitudes, but he is lovely one. Besides his kind heart, he has a crime-partner Hans. This next psychopath is played by Christopher Walken. This great American actor needs no introduction – you know his awesome roles in Kill the Irishman (2012), Hairspray (2007) and Man of the Year (2006). The next psychopath is Charlie (portrayed by Woodrow Tracy "Woody" Harrelson: No Country for Old Men, The Messenger, Defendor, Zombieland). His beloved dog, a rare Shih Tzu was kidnapped by Billy and Hans, and all the movie's action unfolds in this pivotal point. There we meet Angela, played by the "Bond Girl" Olga Kurylenko, Kaya (Abbie Cornish) and Zachariah (Tom Waits) – the last two of the "Seven Psychopaths".
