15 films that expand consciousness

in #films7 years ago

There is an opinion that the cinematographic value of a picture is measured by how many times you can see it. Revising these films even for the fifth time, you can still allot some new interesting subtexts and with pleasure find inconspicuous at a glance details.

Another Earth / Another Earth
The film "Another Earth" is not about a planet, twins or a broken mirror - it's about how some people try to become other people to forget the terrible past. But they can not.

Mind Games / A Beautiful Mind
This is a simple and sincere story of a real person, played extremely uncommonly and touchingly. The history of painful choice, cutting the soul into parts and refusing oneself in order to squeeze into the framework of the averaged reality. And yet this is a love story, which is everything and without which there is nothing.

Planet Ka-Pax / K-PAX
A mysterious alien from the planet K-PAX suddenly appears at the busy railway station. A seemingly unremarkable man - except that the sunglasses and a slight smile of an observer distinguish him from the crowd. Soon it turns out that the stranger's name is Prot and he travels with the help of energy, enclosed in a light beam. It is not surprising that the place of his stay in New York is a psychiatric hospital.

Dogville / Dogville
A film about human nature. Or rather, the impossibility of changing the hardened moral nature of man. The merciless film directed by Lars von Trier does not leave a hope for any changes for the better.

Trance / Trance
This is a very specific, intriguing and high-quality movie that skillfully guides the viewer through the nose throughout the entire time-keeping. The film will give you excellent acting, fascinating visual series and hypnotizing atmosphere.

Start / Inception
The film erases the fine line between dream and reality. Makes you immerse yourself in the world of dreams, absorbs and does not let go for a second, mercilessly playing with our imagination.

Melancholy / Melancholia
There is no way to escape, there's nowhere to hide, and even through a small town to the nearest village you can not go any more. Where is there to escape from the planet! It remains to be reconciled. Sit under the open sky. We all die, and each one dies in the same way - start up and take his hands.

Peaceful Warrior / Peaceful Warrior
A film that once again prompts to live consciously and optimistically. Sometimes, immersed in the abyss of everyday life, you forget about the infinitely beautiful world. The fact that every second something happens and that the moment itself is a unique and surprising phenomenon.

Eternal Sunshine Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
When the flashing romantic tragicomedy closes to the middle into mild "brain masturbation", and the atmospheric finishes picks up to the bones, then probably we should talk about the appearance of a masterpiece.

Solaris
The film is Tarkovsky terrestrial. He's not about space, he's about people. The planet Solaris is not a subject of narration - it's only a way to see yourself, your conscience. Think about your life, about the mistakes that you have made, and, ultimately, admit your guilt. Confess to yourself. "Shame is the feeling that mankind will save," Chris says.

Stay / Stay
A student named Henry, who is on the verge of a nervous breakdown, comes to a psychologist and declares that he will kill himself in three days, on Saturday, at midnight. So this story begins. One of the most sad and at the same time beautiful, ever told by the language of cinema.

Vanilla Sky / Vanilla Sky wallpaper
The film will tell you about true love. Flushed suddenly, but became for the hero the most important in life. But this love will not be the same as you imagine it. Do not forget that this film is originally a cunning puzzle of consciousness.

Awakenings
Incredibly strong film. Strong and sad. This is the movie that you want to see in our time, where pretty often vampires, wonders, magic and action. It is there that real people with their problems, experiences and worries. So many characters, moments, words!

Dead man
The film is an allegory full of hidden images and symbols. This is not a western or even a drama, but a real philosophical parable about life and death. Magnificent drawing of each frame, an excellent soundtrack from Neil Young, creating along with the black and white image special, inherent only to the "Dead Man" atmosphere.

The Man from Earth
This is one of those films about which very few people know, but which, when viewed, fall into the soul. This is not a movie you can go to a movie theater - it's a movie for viewing in a home-like cozy setting, preferably in the evening, after work or school. There are no special effects, there is not even a customary change of scenery, the action of the whole film takes place in one house, actually in one room.
