Good guys, herded like sheep. While the titans of war, are busy enriching themselves. Five stars.

Although I was never a fan of Woody Allen films, this movie is one that I would recommend fully. The plot is quite implausible, and yet, it does make you feel that the world is just right -- if you manage to be thankful for whatever you have in the present.

This movie is such a powerful exploration and unfolding of one of the great mysteries of human attraction and of love. Attraction and love can NOT and should never be dictated upon by mere humans. For such super strong emotions are genuinely felt by the ones who feel them. Who are we to say that some person's emotions, feelings, and instinctive attractions are wrong, and only our emotions and attractions are right and normal? What human, regardless of stature, can be given the right to determine and dictate whom you or I should get attracted to and love? Not even God Himself does that, in all truth. Otherwise, God would be violating His expressed desire for us, His creatures, to be totally free to choose. Without freedom, how can we be called beloved creatures of God? We would be merely puppets of Him, if we can not be free. Although admittedly, I always found it super hard to even imagine being attracted to the same sex myself, the powerful portrayal by Rachel McAdams, and especially by Rachel Weiz, revealed to me that same-sex attraction is no less authentic compared to heterosexual attraction. The deep longing that Rachel Weiz showed for McAdams in this movie, was so powerful, that I really felt it, and felt its genuineness, even if she was just acting. And I even found myself cheering for the two lady lovers, to free themselves from the unnecessary burdens of human tradition. And I truly felt so sad for the two ladies, who were just responding to the overwhelming desires of their neurology and of their human hearts. This movie really liberated my mind, and me from my previous biases and religion-based prejudices. On a real basis, I have made really dear friends with two lesbians and a homosexual. A must watch, if you want to be intellectually honest with your beliefs.

Mark Felt, The Man Who Brought Down Corruption in government. Bravo Mark Felt. I'm giving this movie, a five-star rating. Great acting by all the characters.

This movie might just as well be produced by the French Tourism Agency. It is all about what France has to offer to tourists. Yes, the picturesque sceneries were quite lovely to behold, including the way the miniature details were photographed by the aspiring photographer, Anne, in the movie. Diane Lane, who played Anne, was, as always, so convincing in her acting here. For that and for the lovely photography, I gave the movie a four-star rating. I really loved the way she played out her body language towards the kinda irritating, and too flirty Jacques. Yes, Frenchmen are known to be romantic. But so are all men. The French do NOT have a monopoly of charm and romance, as they want the naive females of the world, to believe. In fact, the Frenchmen's manipulative use of their beautiful-sounding language, and their fussiness in their "knowledge" of too many gimcracks about wine, etc., are just put-ons, in order to lure gullible women -- especially women who do not know that such showiness are just cheap window-dressings to the verity that "les français ont de petits pénis:. Lol. I DO NOT hate the Frenchmen. But I do not approve of their lack of respect for females in general. Their cleverly disguised lustfulness, with no responsibility for the outcome after sex, is never sexy. But actually, to the mature readers, I know that they know, that I am merely humoring anyone who has read this far. Peace and love to all. Au revoir.

If you don't like dark movies, this movie is NOT for you. It has a predictable storyline, and has a worn-out theme of the price of seeking perfection, which we know, is NOT possible for healthy and emotionally-balanced humans to attain. If not for Natalie Portman's excellent acting, I would have stopped watching the movie. All of the readers who have a taste for dark movies, may disagree. But hey, that is my VALID opinion, as much as your opinion is valid too. And I respect it, But for those who seek motivation, in their pursuit of demanding careers, like as dancers or singers, this movie will NOT inspire you a bit. Peace and love to all.

This movie is sadly under-rated. Not to be relegated to a mere movie about dance, and the follies of the youth, this movie tells of the real struggles of adults, with their beliefs, with their children, and even with themselves. It is a sad reality that too many adults have forgotten what it is like to be young. That is one of the big mistakes that they commit, when dealing with their children and the community. They impose unrealistically restrictive rules that do not work, and will never work. This movie is such a refreshing reminder of the wonder and beauty of life, and why we should always remain young at heart, whatever age we find ourselves in. For that reason, and for the excellent acting of all the cast of the movie, I am giving this one a five-star rating.

If you truly care about the future of your beloved children and grandchildren, you have to watch this film, share the information, and do something, anything, about it. 5 stars for the fearlessness of the makers of this film.

An honest scientist who fought against the greed of the military-industrial complex, represented by corrupt businessmen and government officials. I am giving this movie, 5 stars.
