fruitvale station | 2013

Imatge relacionada




Movies like this one make you realize that police officers are human and that even though they should act some way, sometimes they are driven by their thoughts and detriment and do what they shouldn't do. 

Based on real facts, Fruitvale Station tells us the story of Oscar - a black man that had been a drug dealer, - but that has taken the determination, as a new year's resolution, of being a legal person and of not doing ilegal things again. As he is trying to change that, the film show how's his live doing while he is with his loved ones - family and friends. The thing is, he becomes a victim of an accident. 

The target of the movie is simple - the director, Ryan Coogler, wants us to make us see and to be conscious of acts made by the authorities that aren't just or have a valid explanation. The police officers acted driven by their racism and not listening to what the victims had to tell them. 
As for the movie it self, it count with amazing performances by Michael B. Jordan and Octavia Spencer, that could be nominated for an Oscar, that make of this film a must see for this year. 

This is not a perfect film, but it is a very well done and good film. The beat and tone increases as the movie goes on and on.

only god forgives | 2013

I saw this movie at the Sitges Film Festival. When the movie started you could feel Gosling's presence in the film as you do all the time that the movie lasts... but nothing more. Ryan Gosling's carachter 'Julian' seems like a ghost that sometimes can be violent and other times he stands up with everything, that her mother says. The movie stands between the violence and the colors, the feelings that the scenes produce on you. I think that the film is a metaphor of the things that happen in a kind of world that exists and where the only way of surviving is violence, but also your way of dying. Right know I can tell I made a good choice, 'cause this movie is different, it has something special Thanks to the Sitges Festival Organization for bringing this movie to Sitges!

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 ...

her | 2013

Her, what a film, what a love story. Wonderful. In the near future, Spike Jonze (director and writer) creates a modern Los Angeles - like Ridley Scott did with Blade Runner, even though it is not that dark - with skyscrapers and an orwellian atmosphere. All the work, ideas, imagination of Scott and Orwell are seen in this movie with the help of Jonze's amazing script and story.  The movie touches so many subjects; from the Blade Runner's humanity or not, to the big brother and technological elements that Orwell created. It narrates the story of Theodore, a letter writer - yes he writes letters for other people -that has just split up with his wife whose he is kind of still in love because they grew up together and he lived nearly all his live with her. Her, the wife - or soon ex-wife - is the cause of the depression of Theodore, but when he discovers a new technological gadget that is programmed to be a kind of "conscience" for the human he buys it.
