Three movies, one weekend (not a review)
Syrianna
A scene here, a scene there style movie about the international oil industry. Gives a peek into the way things are run in the oil industry, mergers, new princes, how inefficiently oil kingdoms are run. How one action at one part of the world, affects somebody else in an other part of the world. An interesting watch.
Good night and good luck
When Communist witchhunting was doing the rounds in America spearheaded by Senator Joseph McCarthy, CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow took the battle to senator through his CBS program "See It Now". And this is what the movie is about. George clooney directed, oscar nominated, a "black and white" film, with some great performances and great dialogues. Good night and good luck.
Broken Flowers
An "autograph" style movie. Bill Murray plays Don Johnston. In a character kinds similar to the one he played in Lost in Translation. Don receives an anonymous pink, about a son, he may have fathered, setting on a trip in search of him. Don's investigative neighbour forces him to go on a trip visiting his ex-girlfriends in search of his son (or life probably?). Amazing performance by Bill Murray makes the movie enjoyable.
