For me, as a cinema fan and also a crossword lover, today\u2019s NYT Crossword was a wonderful one. In my journey through the world of words and puzzles, I encountered some questions which ignited my everlasting love for films. Along with crossword format, these questions are gems for cinema lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 19A section of NYT Crossword, we will answer the first cinematic question: Actor Reeves who plays John Wick<\/em>. For the fans of Mr. Wick\u2019s story, it is a very easy challenge. However, if you are not into action movies, let me remind you of The Devil\u2019s Advocate<\/em> or Good Fortune. I am sure that you have the name now: Keanu<\/strong> Reeves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In row 26A, there is a question which is related to Mr. Reeves\u2019s job (or Kevin Lomax) in The<\/em> Devil\u2019s Advocate<\/em>: Lawyer, or a lawyer\u2019s advice. What did he do in the movie? He just provides Counsel<\/strong>. Not to mention vanity by the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Section 24A brings one the most important movies in the history of contemporary cinema. Let\u2019s review the question: 1976 film with Robert De Niro as an alienated cabbie. As a film enthusiast, the answer is as clear as crystal. However, since we are in the realm of crossword, let me tell you another riddle: in which movie we have a scene with a mirror and a man saying \u201cYou talkin’ to me?\u201d Bravo, you have answered the both questions: Taxi Driver<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In section 53A, we welcome a classic musical opened on Broadway in 1964. The question is: Fanny ___, central figure in Broadway\u2019s \u201cFunny Girl\u201d Crossword Clue. This masterpiece centers upon the life of a comedian and Broadway star. Yes, you are right: Fanny Brice.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the third season of Fargo<\/em> series, one actor won the Golden Globe award. You may know the answer, but let me review the question in 33D section: Actor McGregor with a Golden Globe for \u201cFargo\u201d. If you are a fan of Fargo, there is no need for further riddles, you already know the answer: Ewan<\/strong> McGregor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I mentioned earlier, today\u2019s NYT Crossword truly cheered me up and reminds me how cinema is like a miracle to me. Happy solving!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
