Are
you bored staying home due to COVID-19? Today, I would like to recommend some
good movies to make people not bored.
THEY SHALL NOT GROW
OLD
Peter Jackson
directs this homage to the British troops of the First World War with
never-before-seen-footage of soldiers as they faced the fear and uncertainty of
frontline battle in Belgium. Digitally remastered and now in color, the footage
has been studied by lip reading experts whose transcripts were recorded and
used as audio for the film. Overlayed by a narrative of those who partook in
the war from interviews made in the 1960s and 1970s, this historic revisiting
marks one hundred years since the end of the Great War.

ONE CUT OF THE DEAD
(KAMERA O TOMERU NA!
A
cast of relative unknowns, a brilliantly disguised low budget and an epic,
37-minute opening single take makes Shin'ichirô Ueda's feature debut a bright,
breezy and laugh-out-loud hilarious zombie comedy. A film crew is shooting a
zombie horror flick in an abandoned water filtration plant, allegedly used for
human experiments by the military. Just as the director browbeats his actors
and demands more special effects blood, a real zombie apocalypse erupts, much
to his auteur delight. Packed with meta-movie references as mocking as they are
loving, this relentless takedown of the Living Dead genre is a total blast.

MICKEY AND THE BEAR
In
Anaconda, Montana, a strong-willed teenage girl navigates a loving but volatile
relationship with her veteran father. In a desperate search for independence
and her own identity, she risks family, heartbreak, and her standing in the
only place she can call home. "Mickey and the Bear" is an essential
coming-of-age story, told from the unique perspective of a strong, unrelenting
female protagonist. In emancipating herself from the responsibilities imposed
upon her by her father, Mickey's narrative is hopeful -- despite the pain of
leaving Hank behind, she is finally free to pursue independence as a young
woman.

Utopia
Nestled
in an isolated mountain region deep within the Balkans, Hatidze Muratova lives
with her ailing mother in a village without roads, electricity or running water.
She's the last in a long line of Macedonian wild beekeepers, eking out a living
farming honey in small batches to be sold in the closest city -- a mere four
hours' walk away. Hatidze's peaceful existence is thrown into upheaval by the
arrival of an itinerant family, with their roaring engines, seven rambunctious
children and herd of cattle. Hatidze optimistically meets the promise of change
with an open heart, offering up her affections, her brandy and her
tried-and-true beekeeping advice.It doesn't take long however, before Hussein,
the itinerant family's patriarch, senses opportunity and develops an interest
in selling his own honey. Hussein has seven young mouths to feed and nowhere to
graze his cattle, and he soon casts Hatidze's advice aside in his hunt for
profit. This causes a breach in the natural order that provokes a conflict with
Hatidze that exposes the fundamental tension between nature and humanity,
harmony and discord, exploitation and sustainability. Even as the family
provides a much-needed respite from Hatidze's isolation and loneliness, her
very means of survival are threatened.
