Into the Wild (2007)

Touching movie, wherever or whoever you are. Based on a true story, this movie is set for drawing attention. Some suburban american kid realizes we don’t actually need half of the things we own or use, and that the simple life, in raw nature, can sometimes be much more rewarding than the hassle and bustle of life in the city and the 21st century. I tend to agree with him, however the end becomes way to predictable beyond a certain point in the movie. Nevertheless the scenery is breathtaking and I would definitely watch this again.

The plot of this movie is about a teacher and her first teaching experience. She gets a class with violent kids, kids that have the lowest grades; however she gets stubborn to teach them and to change them. The main actress is Hilary Swank. Before this movie, I never liked her, I thought she is too masculine but in this movie she impresses me with her delicacy and her determination. “Everybody is a hero. We are all ordinary people but every ordinary people can within their own ways turn on a small light in a dark room.”

I am Legend (2007)

I’m not a Will Smith fan. In fact I always thought of him as a stupid prince of Bel Air, but as time passes by he gets a better actor. In this movie he is a scientist who could not stop the spreading of a deadly virus. Along with his best friend Sam, a wolf dog, he tries to find a cure and save humanity. Few times I jumped off the couch because of some hideous characters so you could say that this movie is a thriller as much as it is a drama. Some of the scenes seem impossible to shoot and BTW the ending has an alternative.
