THE GREAT MAN

HaircutThe Great Man is a great movie–one of the best I have seen so far in 2015. Two young men from very different parts of the world meet and bond in the French Foreign Legion. When they are ambushed in Afghanistan, one makes great sacrifices to save the other, but once separated, their paths diverge.

Second collaboration between director Sarah Leonor and co-screenwriter Emmanuelle Jacob. Much welcome proof that Kathryn Bigelow’s Oscar-winner The Hurt Locker will not be the only film in which women filmmakers provide brilliant insights into an all-male military. (JLH: 5/5)

Q: Does The Great Man pass the Bechdel Test?

No.

There are a few women around the edges, but they don’t really interact with one another. This is a film about male bonding, so it is as it should be.

    service? Thanks a lot!

  28. Asking questions are truly fastidious thing if you are not understanding something completely, except this paragraph presents
    good understanding yet.

  29. Hi it’s me, I am also visiting this site regularly, this web page is truly pleasant and the users are truly sharing fastidious thoughts.

  30. What’s up to every body, it’s my first go to see of
    this weblog; this weblog consists of amazing and really fine information for readers.

  31. Excellent pieces. Keep writing such kind of information on your blog.

  32. Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I
    found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and
    said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.

    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off
    topic but I had to tell someone!

  33. Heya i’m for the first time here. I found this board and I find It truly
    useful & it helped me out much. I hope to give something
    back and aid others like you helped me.

  34. I believe what you posted was very reasonable. But, what about this?
    what if you typed a catchier post title? I mean, I don’t want
    to tell you how to run your blog, but suppose you added a post title that makes people want more?
    I mean THE GREAT MAN – FF2 Media is a little vanilla.
    You ought to look at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create article headlines to grab people interested.
    You might add a related video or a related picture or two to get readers excited about everything’ve got to
    say. In my opinion, it would bring your posts a little livelier.

  35. I absolutely love your website.. Excellent colors &
    theme. Did you develop this amazing site yourself?
    Please reply back as I’m hoping to create my very own blog and would like to know where you got this from or what the theme is called.
    Thank you!

Há ainda os websites que prometem entregar meu SMS mas nem sempre chegam recepiente final. Alguns como o Mundo oi e o Oi Torpedo funcionam mas e para as outras operadoras?
