During my summer vacation, I have watched a few movies. I am going to introduce one I thought especially interesting, Moliere(2007).
Moliere is now known as one of the greatest play writers in history. But , of course he didn't had any fame from the beginning. He first was just a novice actor, acting inside bars. One day, he was arrested and put into jail, but breaks out and disappears. There are no details about what he has been doing during his disappearance. The plot of the movie imagines this blank time.
There are some times in the history where we don't have enough data to know exactly and that is where imagination comes in. The writer of Moliere imagined that Moliere had had an experience which helped him to make plays that made the people laugh so much. To show this, the movie starts with Moliere having a hard time thinking of ideas, then he remembers his experience his past with a rich family and a lovely wife; the main part of the movie. After his long flashback, the audience see a stage which Moliere has written and that it had scenes from the flashback. By making a play inside the movie, we are made to think that the experience Moriere had was historically real and that it really was the purpose he made the play. Movies which have truth and imagination both combined has an effect to make the audience lose the boundary of them and I thought this was really good at it.
Hi! This is Koichi.
ReplyDeleteThe movie you introduce seems very interesting. Is this English film? The tytle of it isn't like English.
Please tell me how you choose movies to watch, because the film you tell me always sounds interesting.
I don't know well about Moliere but it looks like the movie gave a good picture of his life. What made you interested in seeing this film? What other movies did you watch during the vacation? As I think back, I am surprised I saw almost nothing this summer. The same for all autumn. I used to watch one movie every night at home and go out to theatres quite often. I must be too busy!
