Roma

Roma 2018 Movie Screencaps - Best Movies of 2018

One thing that I have been seeing in the recent years is the way directors are imagining a movie and Roma is one of the best examples of that. The movie is as beautiful as it can get.

As always, Alfonso Cuarón’s writing and direction come out on top. It tells the story of a Mexican family living in the 1970s and as one of the reviews of the movie said, ‘Roma is a movie that everyone should see’.

Barry Jenkins’ If Beale Street Could Talk tells the story which we have seen in many films. A couple who is together and wants to live the same way forever comes across a situation in their life when one of them is being arrested for a crime which they never committed.

But, what separates the movie from others is the way it is being carried. It is flawless, the acting without a doubt one of the bests I’ve ever seen and what not. It is just beautiful to witness.

Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper have been the talk of the town ever since the trailer of the movie was first released. And, most importantly, they nailed their roles of Jackson Maine and Ally in the film.

As I said before, 2018 has been a year dominated by superhero movies and here’s another one on the list. Deadpool 2 starring Ryan Reynolds and Josh Brolin as Cable, not Thanos is the sequel to 2015 movie.

The humor as you would expect is sprinkled perfectly throughout the movie with a pinch of emotions generated by Cable. Deadpool 2 is a fun journey that even fires shots at Logan aka Hugh Jackman’s last movie as Wolverine.
