Bonjour tristesse

I wanted to see this movie because i've recently fallen in love with Jean Seberg's early films, and because this film was based on a very famous book which i've also for a long time wanted to read (and haven't yet read)! This film surprised me - it felt very modern yet very old fashioned at the same time. Also, the film changed between color and black & white. While thinking back to the past (the story of the film) the film is in colour and then when showing the regretful present the film is in black & white. Jean Seberg plays a spoiled rich girl with a playboy father who lives in Paris and spends the summers by the mediterranean sea. When the father decides to marry his ex wife's best friend his daughter comes up with a plan on how to stop the marriage from taking place. Very interesting about socializing and "dating" in the 50's. God being rich seems like you can act like a child all over again. Maybe that's freedom.

The People vs. Larry Flynt

This movie is amazing! I had wanted to see it for years, and now finally did. It's so thought provocing and inspiring to watch - and the fact that Hustler is a porn magazine is really not the point of the movie. Woody Harrelson is totally brilliant, and Courtney Love is perfect for the part as Flynt's wife. Basically the whole cast are brilliant. I am not into pornography but Larry Flynt is a really interesting character, and his life story makes for a really important and relevant film for everyone to see. It's about politics, cencorship, the US, religion, freedom and LOVE. It's a fantastic FUNNY movie and i loved it!
