Bambi (1942)
An amazing picture ahead of its time, that is absolutely underrated.
I am a huge Walt Disney fan, and have been for years. There are a few films of which I don't necessarily love, but nonetheless, I do appreciate. Bambi is not one of those films. This animated classic is spectacular. The characters are lovable and unique. Thumper, for example, takes the cake. He has the cleverest lines throughout the movie and is my favorite by far. The twitter-patted scene is adorable as well. The theme behind the film is incredibly important, and the emotional sensation one feels while watching Bambi is notable. When Bambi's mother dies the reaction is intense. It is revolutionary because it's in a children's animated movie, and it occurs so early in the film. Bambi's struggles are honest and heartfelt. The fact that Bambi has to take on so many tribulations i.e.: his mother dieing, fighting for his one true love, trying to save the forest from man's fire, taking over his father's role as King of the forest, make this film significant and ahead of its time. This film not only dealt with death, but with environmental troubles as well. I do not know of another animated film that has shown such concern and awareness. I have never met another person who appreciates this movie more than me, which is appalling. The detail and artwork are memorable and quite impressive. The subject matter and focus of this film are incredibly inventive and original. The character development and relationships are charming. For me, Bambi will always be a treasure and a cherished Disney picture. I implore everyone to watch this. It is absolutely underrated and devalued. Most viewers fail to appreciate the message behind the movie and the film in its whole. Go out and rent/buy this film. I assure you won't regret it.
4 out of 4 stars.
The Birdcage (1996)
Absolutely Fabulous
This movie is one of the best. Robin Williams and Nathan Lane are phenomenal and hilarious, but the best performance throughout the film is by Hank Azaria, as Agador, the adorable flaming butler. My favorite scene is when both families are sitting together eating dinner. I don't want to give anything away, but wow I was in tears. Gene Hackman is extremely funny as a conservative senator. This film is colorful, unique and will keep an audience roaring with laughter. Yes, the movie follows some typical stereo types among a gay male couple, however, is not offensive in anyway, shape or form. I think this is such a cute film, and if you haven't seen it, or if you happen to be in the mood for a laugh out loud movie rent The Birdcage.
My Rating: 9/10
