The best films to escape the crisis

I am up to the hat, and above all to hear and speak and read pessimistic things at her expense. So I think it might be a good idea to remember optimistic films that happen in the middle of a crisis, where the characters overcome it, confronting it or just escaping. There they go:

The Sullivan Trips (Preston Sturges, 1941)

In dealing with issues as serious as indigence, crime, prison or social injustice, this is one of the best comedies there are. Sturges does not give a political-moral sermon (as Capra used to do) but neither ignores nor frivoliza. It simply claims, in a very serious way, the sense of humor and laughter as a table of salvation. A blissful film, full of rhythm and blonde hair by Veronica Lake by stream free movies.

Miracle in Milan (Vittorio de Sica, 1952)

Of all the masterpieces of neorealism this is undoubtedly the most optimistic, the best body that leaves you to finish. Its protagonists are miserable ones full of joy, ingenuity, companionship … The urbanistic speculators do not speak, they only bark. It starts as Dickens and ends up almost like Mary Poppins. Italian Communists did not like it at the time because they saw it as “escapist”, and surely it is. But ignore them: it is a wonder that children and adults should see at least once.

The Purple Rose of Cairo (Woody Allen, 1985)

Set in the depressive 30, the whole reality around the character of Mia Farrow is suffocating. But fortunately it is not a film by Lars Von Trier, but by Woody Allen , which gives him the gift of the fascination of watching movies in a movie theater. And although the awakening of the confusion of reality and fiction is about to sink it, again the movie theater will save you in extremis.

Full Monty (Peter Cattaneo, 1997)

Again we are facing a film that does not like left orthodoxy, which often confuses humor with lack of seriousness and prefers Ken Loach and things like that. But I do not think Full Monty is a little serious. On the contrary: it tells very well the drama of unemployment, its social, family and economic consequences for some types who are also known structural unemployed: they are aware that their job is no longer necessary. The ending is fun but not even optimistic: we do not know what will become of them after the striptease. But it does not matter because the lesson has been his dignity and his pride to rise after the fall.

Le Havre (Aki Kaurismaki, 2011)

Nor is there anything very realistic in the laconic filmography of Kaurismaki. Le Havre is a minor movie only in appearance: it is a colorful story about a shoe-shiner who helps an illegal immigrant black child. However, that lack of realism does not mean that their lies do not tell the truth. Right now I read this in the newspaper: “The crisis increases the empathy of the people”. So some reason must have the rare Kaurismaki. Hopefully, yes.
