A. -24 years old;
--Male;
---I just loved it! So much that I saw it twice, and then bought the DVD;
----The suspense, the awesome action, a social outcast as a female hero that fights more than any men, and at times reminding me about the 007 action set films;
-----I very much and highly recommend it, but be prepared to witness not just what I described above, but also serious themes such as women abuse, and rape for example.

What was your favorite movie from 2011?
Q.
A. In no particular order:
1) We Need To Talk About Kevin
Wow, this movie. It has a non-linear storyline and we slowly find out the full events of what actually took place. We see a woman, shunned by everyone else, struggling to cope. And the ending scene - so sad and poignant, we realise that it's really just and her son left. Both of them only have each other left. And then there's the everlasting question of whether a kill is born or nurtured. Really powerful film.
2) Midnight In Paris
Some thought this movie was draggy, but there was nothing I didn't like about it. Beautiful setting and soundtrack, explores themes of nostalgia and wanting to go back into the past - something very common among people like us these days, who always feel that the past is better. But at the end, we do realise that we should also cherish the present. I think the movie engages and teaches us all. It's also rich in history and literature, both of which I appreciate very much.
3) Crazy Stupid Love
Sounds like a regular chick flick/romantic comedy with endless cliches but to my surprise, it was not. Emotionally powerful, in depth and interesting a storyline, likeable and realistic characters with chemistry. There was enough humour and heartwarming/emotional scenes, which made me both laugh and cry. Friendship and family ties were both adequately portrayed, without one overshadowing the other.
4) One Day
Everyone seems to not like this film, but I love it. Without having into go into the nitty gritty and day by day details of a couple's life, we visit them only once a year and that's actually perfectly enough to see everything that has happened within that one year. People change, and so do feelings. Life. This movie makes me cry every single time. I read the book afterwards, and surprisingly preferred the film adaptation.
5) 50/50
Really brilliant film about someone struggling with cancer and how people around him react as well as how their lives are affected even though they do not have the disease. It has both humour and tear-jerking scenes and the tagline "It takes a pair to beat the odds" is just so apt. I love the whole tone of the movie and though the ending could be more satisfactory (simply because the rest of the movie was so good), it's definitely a wonderful film that approaches/explores the subject perfectly.
Honourable mentions:
- The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
Haven't actually read the trilogy, but I thought this itself as a standalone film was outstanding, even the opening credits and soundtrack. Rooney Mara's portrayal as Lisbeth Salander was brilliant and she stole the show. The ending scene with her broke my heart.
- Hugo
Visually stunning and impressive, it explores film and its industry through the ages. I love the whole mood of the film and the hustle-bustle of old Paris in the city. The climax was so beautiful that it moved me to tears and the ending wrapped the movie up perfectly.
- War Horse
I love the setting and while I haven't watched many war films, this made an impression on me. Although the focus of the storyline is more on the horse, it managed to portray the harsh realities of war. The movie made me cry so much and had no lack of emotional scenes.
- Cyberbully
An extremely poignant movie about cyberbullying and how it can spiral out of control, as well as its consequences. It also examines the reaction of different people, from the bully to the bullied to their families, bystanders, the law and education system, etc, like how there are not enough laws where cyberbullying is concerned. Basically, it has covered every issue necessary and yet managed to draw the audience in. The climax was so emotional that I cried.
