Yu ming is ainm dom: language and misunderstanding

  "Yu ming is ainm dom” is a short movie about the will of a disillusioned young chinese boy to live in Ireland in order to make his life more exciting. A funny moment of misunderstandings and compassion. Even if some scenes of loneliness and despair can give to this film a dramatic side, some others remain hilarous. The main actor, natural and touching, gives a balance between a moving movie and a comedy.

  The rythm is quick and intense, the director, Daniel O'Hara, avoids long and quiet scenes and gives a real dynamic to his story. He respects a logical and smart order: the disillusion of the guy, his real will to move and discover, his arrival in Ireland, full of hope and expectations, and finally his disappointment  about misunderstandings.

  The main character, played by Daniel Wu, is a tender mix of hope and naivety, of will and fragility. Persuaded that he can move in Ireland if he works hard, Yu Ming is a symbol of courage and hard work.He embodies the fantasy west represents for some inhabitants of eastern countries, and the difficulty people who want to integrate in a new culture can meet.

Pride and Prejudice: a masterpiece

  Inspired by the famous novel of 1813, the movie “pride and prejudice” is a soft moment of aesthetics, poetry and loving passion, drawn in the historical context of pre-victorian period. If it is largely based on a love story between two characters from different social belonging, it’s also a painting about women condition and obligations in the 19th century.

  The director, Joe Wright, offers a spectator a beautiful work with some scenes particularly aesthetics, in the famous landscapes of old England. The Romanticism of the movie appears in the speeches and the staging as well as the places and the quality of the filming.

  If some observers will only see in this movie another love story for little romantic and naive girls, other spectators will appreciate the complexity of the two characters’ feelings and personality, the reflexion about prejudices, the description of women condition in this century, and the painting of a desperate and touching family, torn between the willing of seeing its daughters happy and the obligation of finding wealthy husbands to keep their house.

  The actors enable the movie to obtain a deeper dimension, and perfectly express the feelings of their characters. In the role of Elizabeth Bennet, the rebel, open-minded, curious, and free daughter, Keira Knightley shows again her talent for playing. Delicate but stubborn, sensitive but strong, she perfectly manages to show the complexity of her character, her despair about her mother pressure on her daughters to marry a wealthy man, and her disappointment and doubts about Darcy.

  The couple Keira Knightley/Matthew MacFadyen is a pleasant mix of misunderstandings and attraction.

The character of Darcy is a discreet and taciturn man, who will reveal to be faithful, sensitive and lovely. M.Macfayden did a beautiful work of acting, his personality and his character’s one mix perfectly to make the movie more realistic.

Incognito, Bees+things+flowers

  Since its beginning, the English jazz band Incognito offers to its public some sensual, nostalgic, soft or entertaining songs. If their style is quite diversified, the quality of the singers and the musicians, their long experience of stage and music, their will to share good vibes with their audience, make the band let an unforgettable print on the “acid-jazz” stage.

  Some songs are slow but intense, some rhythms soft but impressive. The lyrics let the listener dream and succumb to the temptation of nostalgia and melancholy. But far away from being sad, the album alternates soft moments and genius samples of energy and voltage!

  The interpreters perfectly mix the two styles with mischief and complicity. This mix and the quality of the majority of the songs make of this album one of the band’s most achieved ones.
