Mimi LederBesprekingen

La candidata all'Oscar Felicity Jones è Ruth Bader Ginsburg, una delle nove donne che nel 1956 viene accettata al corso di legge dell’Università di Harvard e che, nonostante il suo talento, viene rifiutata da tutti gli studi legali solo perché donna. Sostenuta dall’avvocato progressista Dorothy Kenyon accetta un controverso caso di discriminazione di genere. Contro il parere di tutti, Ruth vince il processo che determina un precedente nella storia legale statunitense… (fonte: Ibs)

Greene chiede consiglio ad un avvocato dell'ospedale sul caso di una sua paziente incinta, deceduta per una sua errata diagnosi. Contrariamente a quanto vorrebbe l'avvocato, Greene insiste per portare il caso in giudizio e tentare di vincere in tribunale. Intanto un uomo che assomiglia in tutto e per tutto a Babbo Natale arriva al pronto soccorso con una ferita alla mano. (fonte: movieplayer.it)

Tra i pazienti del celeberrimo pronto soccorso di emergenza in questo episodio vi è anche una sopravvissuta di Auschwitz che arriva nell'ospedale dopo un trauma cranico a seguito del furto della sua auto con a bordo la nipotina . A lei anche il compito di ricucire i rapporti familiari dell'infermiere ebreo della serie nella notte più bella dell'anno ...

Wanted to see this film since I first heard about it. Enjoyed it a lot too.

Biopic sobre la jueza del Tribunal Supremo de los EE. UU. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, la segunda mujer en la historia (tras Sandra Day O'Connor) que sirvió en este alto órgano judicial. Ginsburg fue nombrada para el alto tribunal en 1993 por el Presidente Bill Clinton. Ruth, junto a su marido el abogado Martin Ginsburg, cambió el curso de la historia con un singular caso sobre discriminación de género que abrió el camino para la igualdad en los Tribunales.

This was a fantastic television series that was not to be missed. I am thrilled that it has come out in a box set.

Haley Joel Osment plays Trevor, who starts a chain reaction of goodness for his social studies project in this bittersweet and uplifting tale.

Produced by Steven Speilberg. Decent scientific accuracy. Remarkable, even ground-breaking, special effects for 1998.

When train carrying nuclear weapons mysteriously crashes in the former Soviet Union, U.S. nuclear speicalist Julia Kelly ( Kidman) discovers the accident is plot to cover up the theft of the weapons.

Пожилой вор, специализирующийся на краже драгоценностей, берет в напарники менее опытного коллегу, чтобы совершить грандиозное ограбление (речь пойдет о знаменитых яйцах Фаберже) в счет уплаты долга русской мафии.
В ролях: Антонио Бандерас, Морган Фриман, Велизaр Бинев, Энтони Бирн, Кэти Чонакас, Роберт Форстер, Тодд Дженсен, Марсель Юрес

Pay It Forward is a multi-level marketing scheme of the heart. Beginning as a seventh-grade class assignment to put into action an idea that could change the world, young Trevor McKinney (Haley Joel Osment) comes up with a plan to do good deeds for three people who then by way of payment each must do good turns for three other people. These nine people also must pay it forward and so on, ad infinitum. If successful, the resulting network of do-gooders ought to comprise the entire world. Trevor's attempts to get the ball rolling include befriending a junkie (James Caviezel) and trying to set up his recovering-alcoholic mother (Helen Hunt) with his burn-victim teacher (Kevin Spacey), who posed the assignment.
While this could have turned into unmitigated schmaltz, the acting elevates this film to mitigated schmaltz. By turns powerful and measured, the performances of Spacey, Hunt, and Osment can't make up for the many missteps in a screenplay that sanitizes the look of the lower-middle class and expects us to believe that homeless alcoholics and junkies speak in the elevated manner of grad students. (Can that really be Angie Dickinson as Hunt's dispossessed mother? Yes, it is!) The germ of the story is a good one, though, and one may wonder how it would have been handled by the likes of Frank Capra, who could balance sentiment with humor. But clearly Capra would never have let the ending of his version to take the nosedive into cliché and pathos that director Mimi Leder has allowed in this film. More than a few viewers will also recognize that Leder has blatantly borrowed her final image from Field of Dreams, where its intended effect was more keenly and honestly felt. --Jim Gay (Amazon.com)
