Jason and the Argonauts (2000)
This is such an insult!!!
I have been watching this movie on Hallmark Channel for about 5 years. It depicts an ancient story. Some of the characters are from the Ancient Greek Mythology. I am particularly interested in the character of Orpheus. If the viewer is too young and takes the movie as a source of his future culture and development, he'll be totally surprised when coming to Bulgaria and Greece and finding that the population there is mainly Caucasian and only few of it has blond hair and eyes. That is the insult that I am talking about. Orpheus could not be at all an African-American, or being representative of Africa. It is so ridiculous because everybody here in my country Bulgaria is generously laughing when seeing this movie. There is a name for a mountain which is situated 90 % in Bulgaria and only 10 % in Greece - the Rhodopi mountains or the Rhodopi, Rhodopa. It is called Orpheus' mountain. The cave of Trigrad in the heart of the mountain is the where he lost his love Euridice or Evridika. It is the same mountain where Rita Wilson's father was born. I think the producers would have to meet him and read, orientate a bit before placing an African-American actor to play Orpheus.
Monster (2003)
It is a painful movie
It is a painful movie. It depicts the real things, the real relations between people. It is like something you see every single day. It tells about things we usually don't talk about, we don't share. The film surprised which nowadays is very rare, very. I recommend it to everyone, especially to my colleagues, people who work in the justice division of their country. I am a judge in my country and I mostly hear cases of rape, sexual abuse and criminal homosexual abuses (we have this crime in Bulgaria). And constantly meet people's pain, secrecy, closeness when talking in front of me about subjects depicted in the film. To me the film was like a deja-vu, it's like another day in the court. Nevertherless I watched it with interest because it was so real. So painful as the real life.
Over the Top (1987)
Very inspiring!
I find every movie of Silvester Stallone very inspiring no matter what the critics may say. Maybe because he is the brightest example of a man who reached so much in his life. I am not a truck driver. I am a judge. But I can tell right after the first few minutes of the film how much Mr Stallone got into his character. He is even driving with the gestures of a real truck driver.
I think it takes too much to be an actor of his value, to go deep into his character and to drive a huge truck. And again there comes the idea of physical strength and stamina.
Which I find very inspiring. Not drugs, bad language and manours. Training the body and the mind. Silvester Stallone is one of my inspirations to deal with sports. And I have done it for over a decade now.
