Cine-Kado for Adults | The Journal of Montreal

I make a religion of it: when a holiday comes around, I watch the cine-cadeau schedule. No matter how old I get, I don’t want to miss out AsterixAnd I want to see a Lucky Luke.

But let’s take the leap of faith even further: there’s also something called cine-cadeau for adults. I’m obviously talking about the films we saw in our childhood that have become classics, if not masterpieces, that we’re happy to revisit and re-watch over the holidays, since time finally allows.

The classics

The first achieves consensus, I believe: this Die hardStarring Bruce Willis. Die Hard 2 falls into the category, it is better to listen to them one after the other.

It is an old-school action film with a maverick hero who saves his soul and also his family by saving his country. Against him, the real villains, among them, a perverse and sophisticated villain!

Let’s expand the list: Mr. Destiny, with Jim Belushi. This is the story of a man who wonders what his life would have been like if he had won a tournament at a younger age rather than losing it. Is this a “what if” movie?

Other Movie: the hero, starring Dustin Hoffman. Once again this is a great movie with an anti-hero that puts even the media circus to the test! This is my cult movie.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the name Lord of the RingsTell how a small group of different creatures can save the world from disaster!

the hero

Finally, Love indeed.

My favorite character: Billy Mack, the perverted singer! Moreover, I recently learned that the British Left is seeking to ban the film. He was accused of being too white, too straight and grossophobic!

I took an unexpected conclusion: the review Love indeed A form of resistance to Vocism! All the more reason to watch again over the holidays!
