The first film that I remember seeing in the cinema was Avengers assemble. I remember loving it so much that we went back to see it 3 times! Once with my dad, once with both my parents, and once with my friends. To this day it is still one of my favourite superhero movies, and I definitely loved every second of it!
There are two movies that had the most profound emotional impact on me. The first one I saw was the Nightingale(Jennifer Kent, 2018).This is an extremely gritty and violent period piece, about a woman who’s life is destroyed in one horrific scene by a group of corrupt British soldiers. This is easily the most distressing and difficult to watch movies I’ve ever seen. But the effect slavery had on the Australian aborigines, and the violence displayed in the movie, had a big impression on my viewing of the film, and hence why I will always remember it. 5 Stars.
The second movie with the most profound emotional impact on me was Into The Wild (Sean Penn, 2007).This is a film that tells the true story of Christopher McCandless, a young man who abandoned his home and family to live a more simple and, what he expects to be, a more calm life in the Alaskan wilderness. When I first started the movie, I was expecting to laugh at the ridiculous ideas of the protagonist, since what he was doing seemed so wild, no pun intended, and insane. However, as the movie went on, you, the viewer, see more and more into the inner thoughts of Christopher, and you come to understand his reasons, and even find him somewhat relatable. This is what makes the brutal ending so much more impactful and hard-hitting. I learnt a lesson of looking after family, knowing your limits, and the value of life in this movie, and I wont forget it. 3 and a half stars.
The most obscure yet wonderful film that I think everybody should check out is The Peanut Butter Falcon(Tyler Nilson, Michael Shwartz, 2019).This is a nice little film about a man with down-syndrome who manages to escape from the care home where he is being kept. After this he meets up with a guy who finds himself on the run from a whole lot of debt, so that agree to run together. This movie has heart, wit, laughs, and a nice, easy to get, yet important message that was displayed well throughout the film. I loved this movie, and I absolutely recommend it to anyone who likes feel-good movies, or any movies for that matter. 4 Stars.
