Nearing the most anticipated in the world of the film industry event of the year — the award ceremony «Oscar» considered to be a symbol of recognition and success.
This year at the Golden statuette in key categories «Best film» claim 9 of the paintings, and in the next month we will introduce you to the nominees, so you know what to expect at the ceremony and understand what guided the jury by presenting awards. And opens our series of reviews of the charming «Lady Bird» (or «Lady Bird», if you will), taken Greta Gerwig.
«Lady bird» can be called indie film with a very modest budget and no big stars in the cast. (However, a few familiar faces on the screen still flashes.) There are no dynamics breakneck action, vivid love scenes and explicit games on the viewers senses. In fact, it is only a modest history about transformation teenage girls in the adult woman.
However, for all its (apparent!) simplicity pattern gets 5 nominations for «Oscar» including in the most prestigious categories: «Best film», «Best original screenplay» and «Best Director». Irish actress Saoirse Ronan who played the main character of the film, nominated for «Oscar» for best actress, and Laurie Metcalf — for the best female role of the second plan.
A warm and funny film tells us of the innocent joys of teenage life, rebellious and boyish, unforgettable first kiss, first pain of betrayal and breakup, and also about the stubborn determination to change their fate.
Christina, the wayward young lady, who calls herself Lady bird, torn from the «hated» her Sacramento in search of himself. And, like many teenagers, is committed become popular and in fact — to gain confidence in yourself. But this path is thorny and dangerous, and as a result Lady bird even more confused, realizing that the cherished status of the school star is the key to all problems.
In fact, Lady bird loves Sacramento, but this love is eclipsed by negative feelings towards the mother (played by Laurie Metcalf). The girl herself did not recognize that the city in which she lives dear to her, and this realization comes too late. Thus, one of the main messages of the film: no place in the world, home. Whatever faults we have committed, we always have a place to return.
View «Lady bird» leaves pleasant impression and the reason, in my humble opinion, is that it allows you to feel the connection with the characters. This film is one of those whose characters do not release the viewer. He wants to know what happened to the characters next. In addition, the «Lady bird» is difficult to find at least one weak link: strong script in combination with wonderful acting made him a favorite of both viewers and critics.
