In this task, you must classify if a given review is positive/negative, indicating your answer as P or N.

Example Input: since 1990 , the dramatic picture has undergone a certain change of style .
now , instead of emphasizing feel - good stories replete with characters of noble virtues , the screenplays and direction point toward human struggle and sorrow .
this realist tendancy can be inspiring at times , as 1993 's schindler 's list shows .
most of today 's mainstream drama , however , creates an overabundance of emoting that can turn off members of the audience .
that 's why pictures like october sky , which are a throwback to the good ol' dramas of yesteryear , are such a welcome relief in contemporary cinema .
the movie is based on the true story of homer hickam ( jake gyllenhaal ) , a teenager in the 1950 's company town of coalwood , west virginia .
it 's a well - known fact that the only boys to make a name for themselves are the ones that get out of the town on football scholarships ; the rest grow up to work in the coal mine .
the mine , which is run by homer 's father ( chris cooper ) , is not the place for homer , however .
after watching the soviet satellite sputnik shoot across the october sky in 1957 , homer feels a connection with the outside world -- as he puts it , " anyone in the world could look up and see the same thing i did .
" drafting two of his best friends and the brainiac outcast , homer begins to construct rockets .
with the help of their history teacher , miss riley ( laura dern ) , and several mine workers , the four are soon bound for great things .
october sky is a skillfully crafted film , and most of that credit must go to director joe johnston .
johnston -- whose career in the film industry includes everything from directing well - known titles like jumanji and the rocketeer down to an uncredited role as a death star trooper in star wars -- certainly knows what he 's doing here .
he molds characters which are true to life and also fun to watch into a plot that is straightforward and robust
.
he does not push any barriers , but instead adopts a conservative style of filmmaking which enhances the film 's charm .
his finesse brings out elements which might otherwise be lost -- such as the relationships between homer and various mine workers , or the silent struggle between homer 's mother and father .
the cast is well chosen , although the true bright spots are the supporting roles
.
laura dern ( jurassic park ) lends a strong performance in the role of the history teacher , giving the boys the support and guidance they need .
her role is instantly likeable .
chris cooper ( the horse whisperer ) , as homer 's father , is less likeable -- even downright despicable at times -- but his turn here gives gravity to the movie .
he 's definitely a driving force in homer 's life , and his more humane moments give the piece a certain dynamic that is commendable .
the script is generally cheerful , projecting the boys ' endeavors in a lighthearted manner .
there are moments when it becomes predictable -- such as the train tracks scene -- and there are moments when it sacrifices orginality for the need to come up with an emotional plot twist .
it highlights the essence of youth , however , and for its exceptional job at this it can be forgiven other missteps .
october sky
should be a success with audiences .
although it does n't have the appeal of current teen flicks like varsity blues or she 's all that ,
it certainly holds an undeniable quality that older crowds will lean towards .
it 's a welcome change to the dramatic genre , and one that everyone should see .
Example Output: P

Example Input: there 's no reason to doubt that donnie brasco is based , as its opening credits proclaim , on a true story .
but if it 's an accurate picture of life on america 's mean streets , than cinematic depictions of organised crime have had a much stronger basis in reality than i would have previously thought .
for from the film 's outset , when a group of hoods jocularly trade differing opinions on the merits of various automobiles ( not unlike a number of movie lowlifes who recently gave a madonna song a close reading ) donnie brasco resembles more than passingly a few gangster flicks once believed to be works of fiction .
our eponymous hero ( johnny depp ) is not the cheap crook he first appears to be .
brasco is joseph pistone , an undercover fbi agent who has the task of chumming - up to lefty ( al pacino ) , a seasoned hood who tutors pistone in the art of being a " wiseguy " .
regrettably , pistone learns his lessons all too well .
his concern for lefty , who is burdened with a heroin addicted son , exacerbates his own family troubles : his children resent his lengthy absences and his wife fears that her husband 's gangster persona is becoming a little too convincing .
true , the focus on pistone 's family life does deviate from the typical gangster - flick formula , but this subplot never rises above its television drama origins .
the unhappy couple trade predictable lines and engage in drawn - out domestic squabbles ? including an ill - advised marriage guidance routine ?
that slow the film down unnecessarily . the biggest problem with donnie brasco , however , is that its wiseguy attitude and style lacks the flair of its many predecessors .
the awkward use of an occasional disco tune momentarily reminds us its the 70 's , but not with the consistent and blindingly tacky style ?
i loved those fluoro coloured suits ? of scorces ' costume drama casino .
more importantly , pacino 's presence triggers memories of his earlier movie triumphs in which similar territory was covered far more effectively .
donnie brasco 's take on american values , for instance , is feeble and obvious .
lefty rambles out dreams of material betterment to the accompaniment of grating inspirational music .
inexplicably , lefty 's horatio alger inspired gush is supposed to move us .
it does n't any more than his family troubles do , which are dealt in the same saccharine and obvious manner as pistone 's .
just think a minute on how these themes were explored in the godfather movies and scarface .
in these pictures pacino 's dedication to a peculiar and bloody hyper - capitalism was twisted and confronting , while his dogged application of macho wiseguy procedure meant that his relations to friends and family was intriguingly dark ?
neither were spared bloody retribution for breaching wiseguy regulations .
donnie brasco 's tawdry little crime , therefore is n't so much its repetition of familiar gangster themes , but
the shameless way in which it sanitises them .
( oh and by the way , i forgot to mention that the script also sports a startling subplot : pipstone 's superiors are obstructive incompetents who are infuriated by his constant insubordination ?
is that a " damn you mcbain !
" i hear from springfield way ? )
so
the movie is cliched .
big deal
, what do you expect from a gangster - flick ?
well you expect quality action sequences and bravado performances in abundance if its going to be a decent example of the genre .
donnie brasco fails on both counts .
the action scenes never rise above the ordinary and depp 's woeful performance tends to smother the good - work of his comrades .
admittedly , pacino does nothing new and michael madsen ( sonny ) simply smirks his way through the picture like a slightly subdued mr .
white , but both possess an unmistakable sly charm .
depp usually exhibits a bit of class himself , but regrettably , being in the presence of one of his betters must have left him star - struck , for he is completely hell - bent on mimicking pacino 's well - earned high style .
the consequences are painful to watch .
its no exaggeration to say that the film 's credibility is seriously strained by the sight of the pistone family 's uncanny ability to keep a straight face in front of their breadwinner 's phony brooklyn accent .
perhaps we should take pity on the makers of donnie brasco .
maybe a scrupulous adherence to pinpoint accuracy demanded tiered dialogue and scenarios weakly reminiscent of classic gangster flicks .
if this is indeed the case , surely the makers of donnie brasco could have explored the fascinating possibility that america 's underworld is committed to emulating , albeit in heavily attenuated form , their movie namesakes .
depp could have poignantly played a simple cop who becomes a hideous parody once he is forced to mimic big - screen gangster greats .
who knows what insights into the criminal psyche could have arisen ?
but then again , perhaps donnie brasco is n't so true after all .

Example Input: in the interest of being generous , i want to start this review with the scene that i liked in meet joe black .
sir anthony hopkins , playing a super - rich media mogul , has gathered his family around him for dinner .
his oldest daughter ( played by marcia gay harden from millers crossing ) , who has been obsessively planning his sinfully extravagant birthday party , presents him with three superbly decorated little cakes , which are supposed to be scale models for his big birthday cake .
the daughter asks hopkins to pick the one he likes .
hopkins , frustrated by the weight of planning for the whole elaborate affair , does what any man in his position would do : he punts .
whichever one you like , dear , he says .
and the daughter does exactly what any woman in her position would do : she cries .
i liked that scene for two reasons .
first , the cakes looked really cool .
second , it was , perhaps , the only scene in the movie where people acted as you would expect people to act .
meet joe black is chock - full of odd performances , people doing things for no discernible reason at all , and doing them in slow motion over the course of three hours to boot
.
it 's easy to watch meet
joe black for the abundant eye candy of the palatial homes and the beauteous claire forlani ,
but it 's even easier to sleep right through it
( two people on my row managed it quite nicely ) .
the difficult part of the movie is understanding the characters and their motivations and why someone thought three hours was an appropriate length for this overwrought mess .
i know my audience had problems with the movie , because they thought it was a comedy .
case in point : everyone should know by now that brad pitt plays the angel of death in this movie .
however , the first we see of him is as a young lawyer in a coffee shop hitting on the glamorous claire forlani .
( it 's not clear from the movie whether you need a law degree to become the angel of death , but it makes a certain kind of sense . )
it should n't take long for the observant moviegoer to realize that bad things are about to happen to mr .
pitt .
and indeed they do ( after a hideously prolonged sequence where pitt looks over his shoulder at the retreating forlani and forlani looks over her shoulder at the retreating pitt ) , because pitt walks into the road without looking and suddenly gets squished .
well , when that happened , the audience howled with laughter , and continued to laugh at every comment that was remotely humorous .
so , if you think that sudden violent death and sarcastic drawing - room humor are funny , i encourage you to go see
meet joe black immediately .
anyway , the deceased lawyer 's body , no worse the wear from its massive injuries , is possessed by the angel of death and brad pitt takes over that role .
the idea is that death ( given the pen name of joe black , so as not to disturb others ) wants to take a holiday and experience the world .
if this were n't hollywood , we might get an interesting metaphysical discussion of life and death , but since it is ,
we get scene after scene of fish - out - of - water humor , just as if death is george of the jungle or crocodile dundee or some other poor schmuck who 's wandered in from the jungle or the outback or whatever and does n't know how to act in our society .
it also does n't help that the character of death is written so inconsistently .
he claims to be on vacation , but he never does anything except hang around the seriously attractive claire forlani ( just try to get your travel agent to book that one ) .
he speaks very slow and halting english but perfectly fluent jamaican patois .
he knows everything about some characters , nothing about others .
and as played by brad pitt , he 's not especially menacing or charming or glamorous or intriguing
, he 's just there .
it 's as if someone told pitt , " never mind about acting in this picture , son , just stand there and look pretty .
"
it 's as if pitt is doing his keanu reeves impression throughout the movie .
i 've used the phrase " angel of death " in this review very deliberately to contrast pitt 's performance with this year 's best angel performance , nicolas cage 's in city of angels .
where pitt is cold and unfeeling , cage is as warm and empathetic as the situation allows .
where cage is genuinely curious about the nature of man , pitt is aloof and arrogant .
cage struck instant chemical sparks with co - star meg ryan , where the chemistry between pitt and forlani is only understandable if you accept the notion that forlani 's character is so shallow that she ca n't see beyond pitt 's good looks .
the movie 's other top name is a much better actor , but that does n't save meet joe black .
sir anthony hopkins is n't given much better material to work with , unfortunately .
he plays one of these good - hearted multimillionaire media moguls that only exist in hollywood .
( one wonders what might have happened if they had made hopkins 's character more realistically evil . )
hopkins is marked for death due to a bad ticker , but death steps in and grants him some extra time in exchange for being his guide in the world .
of course , no one can be sure of how they will act when death taps on their shoulder .
but i have to wonder ( and in this movie , you have a very long time to wonder ) how you or i would act in a similar situation , especially if you or i were a multimillionaire .
hopkins pretty much goes to the office -- and the major subplot revolves around who will control the corporation .
fans of corporate intrigue will be fascinated , i 'm sure .
i stayed awake all the way through meet joe black , and i 'm asking myself why .
movies about death should encourage you to live life to the fullest , which is what i 'm going to do now .
go spend time with your family , go volunteer for a local charity , heck , go take a nap .
do n't go see
meet joe black , because all it will do is move you three long hours closer to death .
