<strong>Title:</strong> Man on Fire<br/>
<strong>Year:</strong> 2004<br/>
<strong>Director:</strong> Tony Scott<br/>
<strong>Plot:</strong> A man whose ideals have been shattered for the last time is out for violent justice in this thriller. Creasy (<a href="/players/P____74843/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Denzel Washington</a>) is a former United State intelligence agent-turned-mercenary who has seen too much of the violence and corruption in the world and has become jaded and withdrawn. Creasy is hired to act as a bodyguard for Lupita (nicknamed "Pita", played by (<a href="/players/P___301579/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Dakota Fanning</a>), a ten-year-old girl whose wealthy family (a Mexican father and American mother) currently lives in Mexico City, where kidnapping has become a near epidemic. While watching over Pita, Creasy becomes fond of the girl, and finds himself regaining some of his faith in humanity. But things take an ugly turn when Pita is abducted by gunmen who shoot Creasy and leave him to die in the streets. Enraged beyond reason, Creasy recovers and sets out to find the men responsible for kidnapping Pita, no matter who he has to kill along the way. Man on Fire is based on a novel by A.J. Quinnell, which was previously filmed in 1987 with <a href="/players/P____27245/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Scott Glenn</a> as Creasy. <a href="/players/P____74206/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Christopher Walken</a>, <a href="/players/P___235577/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Radha Mitchell</a>, <a href="/players/P____91430/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Giancarlo Giannini</a>, and <a href="/players/P____61810/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Mickey Rourke</a> highlight the supporting cast for this remake. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> I remember how paranoid Traffic made me about driving down to Mexico. Don't do anything stupid, don't trust anyone, and always keep at least a hundred bucks in your shoe to pay off anyone. Little did I know that it was all booze and great food. Losin't It is a great film with Shelley Long, Tom Cruise and Jackie Earle Haley about a group of guys going down to Mexico to lose their virginity and see a donkey show. Y Tu Mama Tambien was a beautifully filmed road trip through the unseen (to most Americans) parts of Mexico. Apocalypto was an incredible period film. Mel Gibson might be crazy but he sure makes a great movie. The Ruins was just blah. College kids falling prey to ancient curse which ruins their debaucherous vacation. Man on Fire was an alright little flick that once again reassured paranoid Americans that yes, if you go to Mexico you will be kidnapped and lose at least one finger . . . or ear.  <br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> Danny Boyle’s new crowd-pleasing film Slumdog Millionaire was originally intended to be shot entirely in English, but apparently due to the preferences of a casting director, about a third of the movie is in Hindi. While this fraction may not be enough to call it a foreign-language film, it could have been enough to turn off subtitle-fearing audiences were the movie not so otherwise accessible due to its feel-good, “Hollywood-style” story involving star-crossed romance, destiny and an ultimate “love conquers all” message. Also, the movie breaks free from one off-putting foreign film tradition by following Man on Fire, Night Watch and TV’s Heroes into the realm of non-traditional subtitling.
Slumdog received a standing ovation at the Toronto Film Festival, where it won the People’s Choice Award, and it could very well extend its popularity in the direction of the multiplex crowd. If it’s a hit with moviegoers who aren’t typically open to world cinema, this could be the chance for similarly feel-good foreign films to cross over and reach a wider audience, whether they be upcoming releases like the Sundance-winning Captain Abu Raed or titles from the past that could always use more Netflix-queue love.
And so, in the hopes that Slumdog could help open the door to further foreign film consumption, SpoutBlog presents this guide to the most accessible world cinema titles from the past ten years. For every entry-level film on the list, we name a couple of more intermediate titled in the same vein — just in case you get hooked.


Amelie 
Spout.com user leeroy711 recently referred to this imaginative French film as the foreign-language cinema’s “gateway drug.” And it’s certainly true that its fanciful romantic story and colorful tone have won the favor of many a young adult not previously accustomed to European cinema. Never mind that it makes stalking seem a little too precious and innocent — the film’s whimsical title character (played delightfully by Audrey Tautou), full of good intentions and lots of heart, will have you wishing you had such a thoughtful and inventive pursuer. Also worth checking out: A Very Long Engagement; Love Me If You Dare

The Chorus
Hollywood sometimes seems to have cornered the market on movies about inspirational teachers, especially those involving music instruction. But this French film proves that foreign films can have similarly motivational stories about great educators and their newly encouraged students. Also worth checking out: Small Voices; Monsieur Ibrahim

City of God
This Brazilian film set in the favelas of Rio can be quite violent, enough to have been compared to gangster films like Goodfellas (though Goodfellas doesn’t have any little kids being shot in the foot). But at its center is the uplifting tale of a boy who makes it out of the slums in order to become a successful writer. Also worth checking out: City of Men (both the TV series and the feature film)

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Martial arts cinema has long been an accessible genre to a large enough portion of Americans, but this film, which became the top grossing foreign-language title in the U.S. (not counting The Passion of the Christ), has managed to acquire fans that don’t normally go for kung fu and wuxia. The main attraction that makes this title more appealing than most is likely its production value, which with its beautiful cinematography and well-crafted special effects allows it to compare to romantic epics out of Hollywood. Also worth checking out: Hero; House of Flying Daggers

Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India
The running time of 3 hrs. 43 min. probably seems like a deterrent, but this Bollywood film really does feel a lot shorter than it is. Really. And anyway its compelling story of an underdog cricket team is familiar enough that you don’t have to pay too much attention if you don’t have the time — though it will be difficult to let your attention stray except for during some of the less-adequately translated musical numbers that aren’t so significant or relatable to most Western viewers. Just think of this film as your typical Hollywood sports movie, except instead of the final game being quickly highlighted in the last 30 minutes, it’s seemingly depicted in its entirety for more than an hour. And yes, the ending is a crowd-pleaser. Also worth checking out: The Cup; Monsoon Wedding

Life is Beautiful
This Oscar-winning film is so feel-good that it comes close to overkill. In fact, a decade after its release, it’s easy to forget just how entertaining it is. Just as we’re more likely to remember the stomach ache after gorging ourselves with delicious sweets or the hangover that follows a great night of drinking, moviegoers often recall only the obnoxiousness that came with an overexposed and over-awarded Roberto Benigni. But don’t let the cynics keep you from enjoying such a heartwarming and inspiriting tale of a “real life Prince Charming.” Also worth checking out: I Served the King of England

The Motorcycle Diaries
Hollywood could actually take a cue from this film the next time it wants to make one of those prequels detailing the life of an iconic villain (ex: Hannibal Rising), at least if it wants audiences to like the guy enough to forget he grows up to be a murderous rebel. Whether or not you like who and what Ernesto Guevara becomes in the years after The Motorcycle Diaries takes place, you’ll have no trouble falling for his younger self as he ditches his privileged life and devotes himself to a colony of lepers. Also worth checking out: Downfall

Pan’s Labyrinth
In the tradition of such dark yet magical stories as Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz, a little girl encounters strange creatures and kind of winds up a princess. It’s ultimately a very sad and depressing film, but the ending at least pretends to be happy, enough that you might think your eyes are watering with tears of joy. Also worth checking out: City of Lost Children

Run Lola Run
It’s extremely fast-paced, a little bit MTV, a little bit video game, and it features a character you really want to root for, especially because she’s narratively allotted a few do-overs in order to make things right. And mainstream moviegoers love stories of both chance and second chances. Roger Ebert also noted in his review that it’s the kind of film that could play in a sports bar, so perhaps it’s even more of a gateway foreign film for sports fans than Lagaan. Also worth checking out: The Princess and the Warrior; Amores perros

Tsotsi
Like City of God, this film involves a crime-ridden ghetto, but it’s even more accessible than that film despite its lack of inspiring upward mobility. It could probably appeal most to fans of American “urban” gangster films, but any mainstream moviegoer should enjoy the conventional plot involving a thug who accidentally kidnaps a baby and then changes morally as a result.

<strong>Body:</strong> A mediocre film about redemption and revenge and the consequences of those actions. Denzel Washington&#39;s acting is decent, but I felt the MTV-style flash-and-pomp editing job was detrimental to the story. You could argue it effectively portrayed his confused state of mind (mostly seen when he was drinking), but it unnecessarily extended itself to action scenes, etc. I also found the &#39;plot points&#39; subtitling to be a bit condescending. I wanted to say &quot;I GET IT! I&#39;M PAYING ATTENTION!&quot; The script could have used a little more polish, in my opinion, as there are character flaws all over the place. A forgettable film from a mostly forgettable director. <br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> Man on Fire&mdash;Tell me if you&rsquo;ve heard a plot something like this before. A guy has become an alcoholic loser because of all the bad stuff he did in his murky past, he&rsquo;s hired as a body guard for a young girl who inspires him to become a better man, she is kidnapped and killed by villians working through a corrupt police force, and he goes on a rampage of revenge, killing, torturing, burning, etc. I&rsquo;m not sure why people like this. Part of the reason might be that Denzil Washington is his usually great acting self, and the other actors (many Mexican) are good. For another, the camera work is lively. Sometimes the speeded up and jumpy camera work is for no apparent reason. Probably the main reason people like this movie is that they do not believe the system works anymore, and the only way to get release, to get things done, to get any justice is to start mowing people down. Are they right? Even though the plot is cookie cutter, this formulaic movie has some impact. Maybe there is some truth in it. The torture sure seemed to be effective. What would happen, for example, if you could take a shot gun and blow off the hand of some jerk in your work place? Some truth would start to come out. Too bad this kind of movie has to be so popular.<br/>
