Favourite movie

Hello everyone. 

Today's topic is movies. I'm not really a movies guy, I'm more into music and a bit into literature, nevertheless I have my all time favourite, which is related to a book: Fight Club. I saw this movie when I was finishing school and meant a lot to me. This is my favourite movie because I think it depicts our modern society pretty well in a very raw way. The protagonists of this film are played by Edward Norton, Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter. I think the acting of Norton is really superb in this movie, while Brad just fills the role and gets carried by Norton. Helena Bonham also plays an amazing role. Maybe Brad is in the cast to appeal more to the masses, because this movie wasn't as popular as it has become when it was first premiered. In fact, it has become some kind of a cult film. Anyway, I think the book of Chuck Palahniuk is better than the film, as it's even rawer, more direct and chaotic. If you haven't watched the film or read the book, choose the one you like, it's not an overwhelming difference, but remember I still suggest you go for the book.

One of the latest films I can recall enjoying comes from of a total different genre, It's Koyaanisqatsi of Godfrey Reggio. It's a film that consist mostly of slow motion and time lapse footage of many cities and landscapes. It hasn't got any actors nor narrator as it may be considered a visual poem which revolves around modernity and how we've come to a life out of balance, using a Hopi tribe prophecy . The film has a really good soundtrack written by Philip Glass which makes you get trapped in its narrative. I really liked this movie, but I know it's not for everyone as you may get bored if you're used to fast paced action movies.
