Why do we love Canadian movies?
Canada's top filmmakers of the 21st century.
When choosing a movie to watch, we are almost always guided by the desire to enjoy the upcoming two hours, and this pleasure can be very different: after the work week, on Friday, when we are tired, we are likely to choose a comedy, a melodrama in the evening with a loved one, an action movie or an adventure film with friends.
And yet there are films that can evoke complex feelings, because the motion pictures themselves are not simple. The genuine authors of such films enrich our everyday experience, ask us questions that are hard to answer unequivocally, force us to go through all the challenges along with the character.
Just like in literature, music or painting we can always tell who the author is – Van Gogh, Beethoven or Gogol – so is cinema: talented, exceptional people are always seen. And Canada has a lot of professionals to be really proud of. There are those who constitute a worthy cohort of professionals and true artists.
It is important to say that Canada has actors, directors, and screenwriters who have established themselves professionally in the United States, the biggest and most powerful industry in the world. Although the Canadian film industry is much more modest or less lucrative, it gives a start to those who then become bigger than the industry, who make cinema unique, who express their feelings and a recognizable voice. It is about them, the worthy voices of Canadian cinema, that we want to talk about in this article.
Their films are definitely a worthwhile choice for a movie night whether with friends or alone.
