So something in my usual process of writing these has gone screwy, so if the format looks a bit different I can assure you it’s intentional and it’s being done simply so I can keep putting these out. So with that being said, let’s talk about the breadwinner shall we?
Plot Summary - When her father is imprisoned by members of the taliban, 11 year old Parvana (Saara Chaudry) must disguise herself as a boy in order to support her family and free her father.
Pros - The animation is the standout achievement of the film. Throughout the film there are tales told and they also have different animations equally as good as the main style. The voice cast is nice and varied, and the film manages to pack a lot of story into 93 minutes.
Cons - The jumping around of story points might annoy some, and the timeframe and ending are not really defined in the film. So if that kind of stuff annoys you this probably won’t change your mind. I’m also not sure how fans of the book might take it, as I think they changed a few things for the movie.
Final Score - 8/10
A good little flick that shines some refreshing light on a part of the world in constant disarray.
Next: Star Wars The Last Jedi - Don’t know when, but it is the big one right now.
So, since I didn’t get to do this in the last review, I’ll reveal this now. If you go to this page here (http://ryanmovieblogokay.blogspot.ca/p/for-collection-film-list.html) You will see a list of films, each one numbered.
That is a list of films that I own on DVD, but I have never actually seen. Now why would I do that? Because I am a film collector, and I like taking chances on movies on DVD that I’ve never seen.
So why show you the list? Because that list (which I will update as movies are added and removed) will be the basis of the new review series: For the Collection.
The idea being basically that it’s a chance for me to review movies I might not otherwise see, and it adds some variety to the blog reviews. I recently took two films off that list. They are…
Wet Hot American Summer (2001) - 8/10
And
The Thing (1982) - 10/10
Now obviously the other reviews will be full reviews, but I wanted to mark these two specifically as an example of what to expect. So what will be the first film from this list?
Let’s choose a number between 1 and 78.
72. Starship Troopers
Hmm, I’ve heard mixed things. Well, we’ll just have to wait and see, so stay tuned.
