parkland | 2013

Resultat d'imatges de parkland



Parkland is a movie about J.F. Kennedy murder in Dallas, TX. The good thing about this movie is, that it combines real images with fiction ones and point of view that the story acquires. 

The film is like a documentary of everything that happened when JFK died, from the hospital, to catching the murderer. But it does not have the format of a documentary, Peter Lendesman, the directors, leads the audience to the mixture of feelings that doctors and nurses had at the Parkland Hospital, but also to the Secret Service, Jackie Kennedy or Abraham Zarpurder, the man that filmed the murder of the president. 

I must say that even though I've read some positive reviews I've also read some others weren't so positive. What I am trying to say is that, even though this is not a masterpiece or a movie that it's going to become a classic, it is a good movie to see. 

In addition to that I must say that Jackie Weaver's performance seemed quite good and that for Zac Efron, who plays the resident that attended the president, this is a very good movie to grow up and continue doing good films. He acts very well and he has a bright future, he is very talented. 

Finally, I would like to add that as I love history, I loved this movie.

guardians of the galaxy | 2014

The James Gunn film is set in a galaxy where the heroes haven't got the superhero profile. Peter Quill is a bounty hunt er that was taken away from his planet, the Earth, when he was just a boy. From his planet he only has a walkman with a cassette that has multiple songs.  It is noteworthy to say that the nostalgic songs and the reference to the movie Footloose (1984) where Kevin Bacon becomes a hero changing a situation by dancing makes this film different.  As said at the beginning, the characters have all a different profile that you wouldn't identify with a hero. They are selfish, they only look for themselves... When Peter steals something capable of destroying the galaxy from Ronan - the tyrant of the film  - Gamora (Zoe Saldana) has the duty to bring it back to Ronan, but she's planning her betrayal. Besides that, the Groot and Rocket want to capture Peter to earn money. This persecution finishes when they all go to jail and have to ally in order to get ...

girls | 2012 -

Lena Dunham's tv series Girls is widely known and has been critically acclaimed. It talks about girls, as the title says, but n ot in a typical way - like many tv series or movies that are just a collection of clichés. Showing part of her real life story, Dunham writes among with other people in some chapters about the life of four girls who have finished college, or are just going to, and that try to find their places in the world.  The protagonist, Hannah (Lena Dunham),  is a writer who either the "leader" of the group and the tv series. The good thing about this series is that in every single chapter there's time to laugh and be identified with the situations the girls live. You don't need to be their age to be identified, parents can see their daughters and sons here... and everybody can have fun while watching it because it is just a kind of an "animated with real people" book written by Hannah/Dunham that portrays some of the most common ...

begin again | 2014

If you like music, you'll like this film because it is a story about love for music, there's also time for other love, yes, but the main purpose of the film is showing the love people have for music and how this thing can help you overcome things and change your live. I've heard some critics say that this movie "has a soundtrack for every love story" and "a movie for those who live life as if it was a playlist" and I also would define it like this. If you don't like music, or it is not one of your most loved interests, this film makes you appreciate it. The places where the music is made captivate the viewer and the songs make you spend some good time watching the movie.  As for the story itself, the base, I wouldn't define it as groundbreaking story because if it wasn't for the music component, it could have been entertaining - because it is not a film about how a music star is born- but it wouldn't have been that good. As said...
