I know that an article
was already made about Ken Loach but I'd like to write about him
anyway ;)
So, Ken Loach is really
one of my favourite film-maker.You may have heard of him recently
because his last film, I Daniel Blake was on display at the Gyptis
last week (For 2.50 Euros!!)
Seriously, this movie
was great (so great that I saw him twice)
So, Ken Loach is an
English film-director born in 1936. He is well-known, for his
socialist ideas very presents in his films.
If you like Ken Loach you might like as well Billy Eliott by Stephen Daldry wich deals about the miners' strikes. Like Ken Loach, Stephen Daldry illustrates the daily life of 'normal' people that could be us, spectators, and all the problems they must face.

I, Daniel Blake came
out this years and is already called "The must-see movie of the
year"by critics, and they're right, it won the Palme d'Or at the
2016 Cannes Film Festival
I won't say that I've
not cried (it seems almost impossible) because it is so well-told and
so touching that in 1 hour and a half you have the time to love the
characters so much, to suffer with them, to be happy with them, to
live with them...
During all the movie
you follow
Daniel, a joiner living
in Newcastle who has just had a heart attack. He applies for the
employment and support allowance but doesn't get it because he is
able to work after reconsideration however he is not. So he has to
claim for job-seekers allowance but everything is so difficult for
him (given that he doesn't how to use a computer) that he quickly
abandons to look for a job and appeal.
He soon meets Katie, a
single mother with her two child, who have just arrived in
Newcastle, in a very precarious situation. Daniel puts all his
problems aside to help them.
I let you discover the
end if you want but this movie is really worth watching!
Even if it can seem
weird I'm often attracted by the colours of a movie and I absolutely
love the Ken Loach films ones and I, Daniel Blake does not escape the
rule, the colours are very appropriate to the situation and so
beautiful..
Ken Loach is really one
of my favourite film-director even if I have seen only some of his
movies.
Anyway I encourage you
to watch I, Daniel Blake and other films made by him and tell me what
you think of them!
Merry Christmas to everyone, enjoy your holidays !!
Chiara ;)
This article was really nice! Actually I didn't know about Ken Loach but saw Billy Eliott and got really moved by it, but at the time I didn't know that Ken Loach made it! So that made me learn something
ReplyDeleteIt was all really interesting and sadly I wanted to come at the Gyptis but couldn't make it :(
Actually it's normal you didn't know that Ken Loach made Billy Eliott because I made a mistake in the article (sorry :) ).
DeleteIndeed Billy Eliott's realisator is Stephen Daldry
I'm sorry one more time for this mistake but anyway thank you very much for your commentary !
Ahahaha non worries Chiara, have a sweet holiday 😋💕
DeleteI have made the modifications in the article !Sorry ;)
ReplyDeleteOh,typical Chiara! The minute I saw the article I knew it was you ;) Speaking about the article, it was great but how can you make a bad one if you write about Ken Loach ? I also notice the colors of the movie that are marvelous. This film is truly moving.
ReplyDeleteHappy holiday Chiara even if it is almost finished.
