inception | 2010


Resultat d'imatges

For four years I had been trying to watch that film and finally I've done it. Inception presents a new way of sci-fi or fantastic cinema. It has an amazing and complex story behind that the spectator understands and nowadays the general public that goes to the cinema, the popular cinematic culture wants to be entertained for a while and not thinking how this awesome plot can be understood or not. Christopher Nolan did that with that film and this is the reason of it's success. 

Inception as the word says is based on the origins of everything, of us. Mr.Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) knows how to enter to the dreams and basically how to move in those dream, we could tell he is an expert on dreams more that he lives in reality. One day, he and his fellow colleague are offered the task of their life. They need to do an inception on somebody else's mind and if they succeed Cobb, that has been drawn away from his family for the most part of his life, will be free of charges - he was accused of a murder - and will be able to go home. 

This task includes six people that are going to have to go under three dreams in order to accomplish the task. This part is the most interesting one because of the six people two are the experts on dreaming (Cobb and his fellow, Arthur), one girl is an architect (to build the dreams - as if they were labyrinths), another is a forger and the last one is a merchant of sedatives. Together they are going to experience, with the audience, an awesome adventure that keeps you on the edge of your seat and that makes you feel as if you were on a maze .

So this is a great movie to watch and the more times you watch it the more things you discover. Is probably one of those films who is a bit long, two hours and fifteen minutes but that seems very short and Nolan, the director, plays with the time in the movie as well so something that seems to be very fast in the movie becomes very slow - [spoiler] that ban falling into the river - and it plays with the viewer. 
As for the cast, I think this film counted with amazing actors such as Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Michael Cane, Tom Hardy or Marion Cotillard among others that did a good job. The music by Hans Zimmer is quite amusing, it really puts you on the middle of the film as if you were one more character. I've talked about the screenplay before but I think this is a very good one, very smart and complex but at the same time simple. So I would recommend anybody to see that movie, there aren't "buts" or anything, really enjoyable for everybody which converts this movie to one of the best movies of the last years.

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.
