The incredible true story that defined our world.
Sure this film is no doubt Oscar bait, full of some issues that are to be found throughout it including the very slow pacing, but damn is it good! Mel Gibson and Sean Penn took what could’ve easily been an uninteresting and bland historical drama, and elevated it to a whole other level with their fantastic performances. Add in some great cinematography, and acting from the entire cast and you have a film that’s not just excellent, but one of the biggest surprises of the year!
Thanks for reading 😃
Sean Penn and Mel Gibson are "scary",
So a lot of folks may be wary,
With seeing them together,
As they exchange letters,
In a movie about the dictionary.
What a Beautiful Beautiful story told through the perfect cast and chain of events. So many emotions with the loveliest soundtrack💗.
Sean And Mel! I love them together they were brothers:(
I didn't think I'll rate a movie in 2019 and a biography like this!
I almost forgot, "I can.. because of you♥️♥️♥️".

ماذا يحدث عندما تضع ممثلين حائزين على جائزة الاوسكار
مع مخرج واعد وينص تمكني قوي ؟ هذا ما يحدث
فيلم ممتاز جدًا تميز كثيرًا بالاداء القوي من الممثلين
في عام 1998 صدرت الرواية المقتبس منها الفيلم
وبعد 21 عام يأتي هذا الفيلم ليعيد لنا الحكاية المجنونة بشكل آخر
هذه المرة يرويها لنا هؤلاء النجوم
دائمًا أرى في ميل جيبسون ممثل لم يعطى حقه حتى الان
فهو كمخرج يملك سيرة قوية جدًا
لكن حديثي عن ميل الممثل .. كثيرًا ما يستطيع إيصال ما يريد
وتقمص الشخصية بشكل بارع فهو قادر على اداء الادوار الاكشنية
أو الكوميدية أو التاريخية ببراعة وكأنه ممثل متكامل بل هو متكامل فعلًا ، في هذا الفيلم المجنون وعن بروفيسور ومجنون

Enormously engaging and solidly appealing, Farhad Safinia tells a story of words, friendship, and redemption in "The Professor and the Madman." It is a film crafted with soulful performances, satisfying attention to detail, and a grand focus on universal themes.
Taking place in late 19th century England, "The Professor and the Madman" recounts the relationship between Professor James Murray, the linguist compiling the Oxford English Dictionary, and Dr. William Minor, an institutionalized murderer whose work assists Murray's Herculean task. It is a layered, history-based story that pays equal attention to the bonds of its characters and the events-dictated plot.
The richness of its story is matched by the richness of its cinema as Safinia constructs an evenly paced work that…

That's what this movie made me feel ♥️
Of course, I found the Professor and the Madman to be great actors for always delivering their best in every movie 👌🏻✨
Es geht um die kuriose und langwierige Entstehung des wichtigsten, englischsprachigen Wörterbuches - und der Film selbst entfaltet sich dabei ganz streng nach "Textbook":
Denkt an irgendeinen x-beliebigen Film-Trope einer x-beliebigen Biografie - egal ob komplett fiktional (The Good Will Hunting) oder basierend auf realen Begebenheiten (The King's Speech). Dieser Film hat jeden einzelnen dieser Tropes, so wie die obligatorische, emotionale Ansprache vor einem Komitee.
Das lässt sich für eine gute Biografie auch kaum vermeiden. Das Problem ist hier nur, dass all das nur reine Behauptung ist. Man soll an eine Männerfreundschaft glauben, die durch lediglich 2 Dialoge und ein paar Montagen in den Raum gestellt wird. Man soll die Schwierigkeit des gesamten Unterfangens begreifen, anhand eines kleinen Streits zwischen…
Trigger Warning!: There are extremely graphic scenes and images including murder, torture, self-mutilation (the most explicit example is castration) and forced bulimia!
When I saw The Professor and the Madman on Netflix I thought that it could be interesting but passed over it. Fast forward a few weeks and I finally decided to watch the movie and which left me pleasantly surprised. I had no idea that I would find myself completely engrossed in a film about the creation of the English Oxford Dictionary. With a strong script, acting, production design and a deft hand by director Farhad Safinia, who elevates what could have been a boring biopic into an emotionally engaging film that pulls at my heartstrings at every…
"I can fly out of this place on the backs of books. I've gone to the end of the world on the wings of words. When I read, no one is after me. When I read, I am the one chasing...chasing after God."
I'm really not sure how this 2019 period piece pseudo-biopic didn't get any attention at all. Not only is it a great directorial debut with some beautiful shots, tasteful framing, and smooth edits, an out of norm orchestral Bear McCreary score, but it's Scottish-accent Mel Gibson and hermit vet Sean Penn delivering two excellent bearded awards worthy performances. Given the title you wouldn't be blamed for thinking Gibson played the Madman, and Penn, the Professor; frankly, this…
Good movie with lot to teach. I learned a lot!
Best moment:
Ada Murray:
Sometimes when we push away...
that is when we most need
to be resisted.
This was a difficult watch. Good themes of love, redemption, justice, and mercy. Forgiveness especially. However, some characters felt unnecessary to the movie and it did get rather gory and intense at times.
The movie kept wanting to focus on people and relationships, and all I wanted was to get a better look at that board for entries about the word "Art." Perhaps other people wanted and are happy with a personal psychological drama, but I was looking for a film about the drama of the logistical nightmare that was crowdsourcing the original OED, the pinning down of that ever evolving thing that is English as we use it to make ourselves known to others. For me, the interpersonal dramas just kept getting in the way.

Gibson the garrulous is obviously very good. A movie about a man who loves words and an asylum patient who contributes definitions should be the best film ever. The book is great. At least Mad Mel can, like only a lunatic, tap down deep into inglorious humanity of his character.
A movie about writing the dictionary. iWorks not be surprised if this was made on a date.
bra manus, komersiellt som satan men bra. jobbig klippning på många ställen. medelbra titt med familjen
Sean Penn playing the role of Mel Gibson in the early 1900’s was such an accurate commentary about our current mental health facilities in the US. I’m thankful for the dictionary and this is a great work that will never let me take it for granted.
