Walt Disney gave us a brand new Cinderella!


After 65 years Disney gave us a new Cinderella.This Time with real actors but still keeps the original story. With a great cast of actors like:Lily James, Cate Blanchett, Helen Bonham Carter. I would like to choose my favorite parts of the both versions !









1. Lily James is very beautiful and no one can deny that but I like the animation version of Cinderella more with the hair up! 









2. The waltz is more beautiful in the live actors version, they make us dream during that scene and their eyes are all shine and full of love!













3.Stepmother and sisters,here is getting difficult to choose, but when it comes to Cate Blanchett I surrender and selects her version!


















4.Animated version of stepmother is more powerful model of hair but to the latest version of Femme Fatal dominance of Lady Tramein, really makes us tremble .
















5.The good fairy mother I prefer more the animated version. Because Helen  is more beautiful than Cinderella to my point of view so maybe she can go and catch the prince for herself at the ball.While the animation version the fairy is a little fat and forgetful.
















6. The crystal shoe at the new movie is quite spectacular with the butterfly on the top. If they were for sale we will go buy them for sure,just to have them in our wardrobe!













P.s Regarding the message of the film from a feminist perspective,I would suggest to do the  Bechdel test. Cinderella passes the test with the relationship that she has with the fairy.

Kategorizimi ne Ratings per filmat!

Filmat perpara se te shfaqen ne kinema per publikun e gjere duhet te marrin nje vlersim nga MPAA.  Keto vleresime jane te ndara ne 5 kategori sipas skenave apo permbajtjes qe ka filmi,ne menyre qe dhe kinemate te dine se ke te lejojne per ta pare por edhe priderit te dine se cfare eshte e pershtatshme per femijet e tyre. Vleresimet jepen me germa si me poshte:

G - Nje film i kategorise G-Ratings eshte nje film per te gjithe familjen qe do te thote se nuk permban brenda tij skena nudo,dhune,fjalor te rende,perdorim droge pra femijet mund ta shikojne dhe prinderit nuk kane se pse te shqetesohen.

PG - Nje film i kategorise PG do te thote qe prinderit duhet ta kontrollojne filmin para se femijet te mund ta shikojne pasi mund te kete skena te shkurtra nudo,mund te kete fjalor te rende apo dhune deri diku por nje gje eshte e sigurt qe nuk do te kete perdorim te substancave te ndryshme droge.

PG -13 Kjo kategori filmi eshte per moshe mbi 13 vjec. Do te thote qe mund te kete skena nudo por jo me permbajtje seksuale,po ashtu mund te kete dhe dhune por jo ne ekstrem aq sa te shkojne ne kategorine R.

R - Nje film i vlersuar me R eshte i ndaluar te shihet nga minorene. Prinderit duhet te dine se nje film i kesaj kategorie permban skena nudo me permbajtje seksuale,perdorim te drogerave dhe dhune ne permasa te gjera dhe fjalor jo te pershtatshem.

NC-17 nje film me kete vlersim nuk duhet te shihet per keto nen moshes 17 vjec. Kinemate kane te drejte te kerkojne karten e identitetit dhe mos te lene te futet per te pare filmin asnje nen moshen 17 vjec. Filmi permban skena dhune dhe seksi ne menyre eksplicite,sjellje abuzive dhe fjalor te rende qe eshte i papershtatshem per moshen nen 17 vjec.


Tani qe i mesuat dhe vlersimet do ishte mire qe ti kontrollonit filmat qe femijet shohin pasi asnje prind nuk do te donte qe femija i tij te shikonte material te papershtatshem. Femijet duhet te ruhen qe te mos mesojne gjera te papershtatshme per moshen apo te vuajne
nga frikera te ndryshme per shkak te nje filmi.

All the 'wood' n


Of course everyone knows only Hollywood and yet it follow the Boolywood and Nollywood.




Hollywood is the first place where filmmakers gather from around the world, especially European ones because of WWII. Hollywood is who shows us the American dream, educates Americans and sets standards for the way of life around the world. Movies pass several stages as western, classic novels, films noir, films of the female revolution, hi-tec technological films, films composed of families, and that they recently 3D. Hollywood  makes huge profits for each film that comes out in the market but they are also expensive and their promotion takes a big part of the money.  


Image result for bollywood hillBollywood with a domestic overproduction has become enjoyable for the rest of the world. Sweet romantic scenarios that convey the values of a society as education, mutual respect and traditions. And although we know many of the Hollywood actor had problems with the persecutions from fans and keeping their live private the Indian actors have the same problems even worst. Bollywood actress pass the fame to their children who continue their empire and was a little to say that if Americans have the president of the saint in India are actresses. 

Nollywoodi, tell me you have heard about it? Nigerian cinema is which insists on its success and has managed to rank with wood side end. In Nigeria they make a law that wouldn't allow foreign films to be shown through television and 2/3 of the population decided to make himself these films. So they begin to shoot with digital cameras and assemble and launch them in direc in tv,not in cinemas. Nigerian cut the classic movie premieres chain will go on pay per view platforms in the countries where they migrated more as uk. After platforms would be televisions that will buy these films and will eventually be out in the market with a price of about 1 dollar. Bad movies or good movies they do not cere much, but they are getting better with the time and  their rates are vine growing.

Mona Lisa Smile

I thought I was headed to a place that would turn out tomorrow's leaders, not their wives!" -- Katherine Watson (Julia Roberts), Mona Lisa Smile



During this film girls are presented as individuals who need to be able to provide a marriage. The story is based entirely on war and feminism though most of the characters are married. While I see this movie, a question arises: How did we become like we are?
The answer is found in women played by Julia Roberts. Thanks to her throughout history such companies' expectations for women have changed. I myself want to define this film as a feminist film,this film shows feminist movement in both its forms and in the form of mass meetings and in another form which is also essential in such work and dedication that Watson has for himself and people around him. Of course we can not imagine today ourselves in situations that exceed characters in film but also in himself back in a way we pupil Watson and draw inspiration and lessons. Every time I've seen this film I felt that I grew a little.

Cinema of ther 60's

During the 60's the big film studios will be threaten from the raising of television.The golden age is over and indipendent movies are made.During this time there are less American movies made and there is the boom of Fellini,Godar,Antonioni,L.Bunuel and Hitchcook.At this godd time for the indipendent movies we hear first the names of Sidney Pollac. He changed the rules of the movies regarding sex scenes. This would make an avantgarde cinema and this would be as a result of Woodstock and the seksual liberation. 

. Regarding the feminism movement there is only one movie that we can mention ‘Rosemary Baby’ this movie will become a kult film and later on you will hear the say 'Not another Rosemary's Baby'. The main theme here is abortion. Rosemary is a catholic and lives in New York,she is newly wed and when times come she wants to have a baby.  She stays home, and takes care of her husband. Economically she depends on him and she is always doing what he wants regardless of her own wishes.Suddenly her husband decides to have a baby,that proper night she dreams that someone is raping her. Her husband tells her that he made love with her while she was asleep. She is pregnant and suffers through the hole pregnancy. At the end she learns that her husband had made a deal with the devil so she decides to kill her baby. .This is a film which has been discussed in terms of religion, faith,in scenes of violence becoming a film pioneer for the later as well as problems with the justice that had Polanski. In my opinion this film represents the struggle of women to that period when seeking the right to abortion. Many women were silent except for rape to become detached from the spouses and raise children bore fruit not of love but of violence. How can increase a child when his mother recalls the humiliation and violence that is inflicted upon due to helplessness against the other sex. Rosemary fights to keep her child but does not protect society from that rape that was done, she wins over her Catholic guilt when he learns that her child will grow as the son of the devil and kill it sets .

Cinema of the 50's

Hollywood would enterto  a classic period of his post and starts to feel the threat of television but nevertheless finds a way to gather people in cinema. In these years will notice an influx of men in cinema generally and for all for the same reason. A beautiful and sexy blond,men will be attracted to she was Marilyn Monroe. She returned the desire of every man acting not because of how much more to her appearance. Cinema turns her into a sexual desire and in an object for men in her films like "marry a millionaire 'and' Men prefer blondes' she puts a price for every women. Every woman can be bought with a diamonds because diamonds are the best friends of women, I have promoted Hollywood-50s headed by Marilyn Monroe. He was leading this belief was great inventor and producer of aircraft but Howard Hughes movie. Was this man with a problematic character who bought the most beautiful women of the time like Ava Gardner, Marilyn Monroe, Anita Akbar and Kate Hepburn. The relationship with his women we be passing more beautiful in his films and this was not an intimate relationship or erotic but affiliation actors belonged to him and that I kitted with gifts from more expensive, many actors like Anita Akbar not played ever movies while leaving the production of Hughes. Although the fame of his films came to my generation. Either all girls worship Marilyn Monroe and her relationships with men in that has represented it in the cinema. Newspapers and magazines in Albania still talk about glorification of women in this period. Huges so would be quite proud of the beautiful brain wash that made women around the world and for so many years. So time and very few have realized that the brilliance of the diamond that a man gives a woman  is like a letter of ownership that we take when we buy a property, even if the relationship in pairs to go wrong a woman will look diamond and to forget everything will just just like a lawyer looks at his papers

Promote your movie like Hitchcock did with Psycho

I am still wondering with my self is Mr.Hitchcock put a special policy on watching Psycho because it was needed to feel the movie fear or because he needed promotions. We know that we live in the world of the mouth but we learn also that if anything is limited edition we want to have it,this is what he did. First he screened it in some theaters then it got famous. I am listing below the regulations.

1.  Psycho need to be seen from the beginning and this is a must
You could read this regulations everywhere and people got curious just because they were not allowed to enter to the theater after the beginning of the act,at times were the publicity usually consisted on just buying tickets
and watch movies without any attached regulations

2. We won't allow you to cheat every theater manager is instructed to admit now one after the start of the   movie 
The theaters were responsible for this instructions to be followed by everyone also they put people in every exit so no one could entered or exit during the movie. This way people were told that they would live a unique experience.


I do not know if this policy would work now days because it is difficult for people not to chew or drink during the movie,it is a nightmare to get them to switch off the mobiles let alone entering in theaters accordingly a regulation,even though it is for their own pleasure.

The imaginary Albania of Hollywood


Hollywood screenwriters are very happy that Albania is not very known and they can imagine it as they wish. I imagine these screenwriters sitting in a table and thinking: What to add something interesting and fun to the script ... Let's through a bit of Albania cause ultimately people will not realize that we are talking bullshit.
Let's take the movie 'My Mom's New Boyfriend'  with the Albanian underground restaurant.

1.Albanians do not keep the chickens  in the middle of the house. Well we do sometimes  during New Year's eve but it stays in the bathroom , like in these movie below: 'In our home '
2. Belidancing is not the Albanian traditional dancing,you could have  googel it and find something  like: Lily Cingu. 
Liliana Cingu
But then the film would not have half naked women dancing I understand that.

3.I have not heard of us eating alligators. Birds like chickens, ducks I eat also lambs and cows. In Albania are no Crocodiles but now I am thinking that  probably we might have eaten them.
4. Graski - It looks like they have mixed the word Raki (Albanian Brandy) and Gezuar (Cheers), but I don't think that they gave it so much thought
 In the end, it turns out that the Albanian flag was the only Albanian thing there that charmed up the scene.
