fight club | 1999

Imatge relacionada

Fight club is a great movie. At first can seem like a non-sense film but that has a lot of sense. An insomniac, with a "good-boy" appearance turns out to be a destructor of everything. 

David Fincher makes the audience vibrate with a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat because you want to understand what is happening in the movie and why characters act the way they do. It reminds me of two posterior movies Mystic River and Shutter Island where you also are trying to understand what is really happening. 

With Fight Club you see a lot of violence but underneath of that you see how was the society, and by extension who's the society now. We leave in an empty society and also violent, the occidental society has  to be destroyed, and the last scene is memorable... 

Very nihilist but also a kind of a poem, that you read once and that you need to discover afterwards.... really amazing. I think I haven't seen so much movies like a poem, and I really enjoyed the experience of the "double-scene" or the symbolism of the cinematography.... 

Pitt and Norton portray two, very different and dificult characters greatly. Helena Bonham Carter, as always, doing it well, she has no problem

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...
