That possessed all the qualities you wish you had? Maybe even made you a better person?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>When you live in corporate <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">America</place></country-region>, with the same daily routine at the office and no real perspective, you feel the need to find refuge in something… anything before you fall in depression or even go crazy. Some people start smoking, drinking, even drugs. Others opt for casual sex, start a hobby or become immersed in cyberspace. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Our protagonist chooses nothing else besides… support groups. Prostate cancer, AA, tuberculosis… anything where he can evade from his biggest problem: insomnia. But everything changes when he meets two people that would radically alter his lifestyle: Marla Singer and Tyler Durden.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Marla drives him insane. She took up the same “hobby” by visiting the same support groups, not having any one of the problems in discussion… just like our protagonist. <city w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Tyler</place></city> changes his life. All it took was a meeting in an airplane, where <place w:st="on"><city w:st="on">Tyler</city></place> cuts off his small-talk by opening his eyes to reality. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">I think I’ll leave the message written at the beginning of the DVD of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fight Club</i> to describe this movie. Pay attention and take action. You will never regret seeing this movie for a single second. </span><br />

If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you<br />
read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't<br />
you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly<br />
can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so<br />
impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all who<br />
claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think<br />
everything you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told you should<br />
want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex.<br />
Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a<br />
fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will<br />
become a statistic. You have been warned…</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><city w:st="on"><place w:st="on"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 10pt;">Tyler</span></place></city><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 10pt;"></span></div></span> </div><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>What I found brilliant was the filming technique. Even though I’m not an expert in the domain, I fully appreciated the black-and-white setting with the occasional spots of symbolism decorated in color. The red dress, Becky’s blue eyes and lots and lots of blood made <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sin City</i> a completely unique movie from an artistic point of view.

The tagline for this independent European production beautifully describes its essence.

The affection and strong sense of care are so deeply imbedded and so sincerely acted out that you sometimes believe it’s an actual story playing out before your eyes on the streets of Dublin.

They could be anyone. Maybe even you. Or maybe even me. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">To my utter shame, I had never heard of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Shawshank Redemption</i></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">until 16 years after it came out. Upon a good friend’s recommendation, I did a bit of research before viewing it. I was quite surprised when I found that it was classified as none less than number 1 in IMDb’s Top 250 list. Not until I watched it did I understand its wide appreciation accumulated in over a decade. I can honestly say it’s one of the greatest movies I have ever seen.</span></span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Rarely can you find all the elements for success in a single motion picture. Everything from the acting, the themes, perspective and concepts received a clean A+ on my behalf. Sci-Fi lovers might be a bit disappointed in its lack of special effects and use of ultimate generation technology, but those are nothing, <u>nothing</u> compared to the beautiful lesson you learn from it. Now why would you bother watching an “outdated” movie when you’re surrounded by the glory of Avatars and 2012s? The answer is simple: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">They just don’t make movies like The Shawshank Redemption anymore.</i> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: white;"><br />
