little miss sunshine | 2006

Resultat d'imatges de little miss sunshine

Little Miss Sunshine, the movie you could see a thousand times and still enjoy it. Surprisingly you see how the movie is going to be from the beginning but you stay watching it because it produces a lot of comedic scenes that catch your attention and that make the trip, in where the characters are involved, really funny.

It could be said there's a two journeys/trips in this film. The real trip to Los Angeles where Olive (Abigail Breslin) is going to participate in a Miss little Sunshine competition and also a journey of the characters as said before because they evolve in different ways without losing the things that define them. In this film everyone has a very remarked personality, one is a teenager who idolizes Nietzsche, a drug addict grandpa, a girl who is obsessed with winning a competition where she does not fit, a teacher who wanted to commit suicide, and the parents: one that is hysteric and the other who is obsessed with his theories.

All together create a magic combination that makes this film a very remarkable comedy for all ages because everyone enjoys the trip and the things that happen. It think, though, that the best thing is the end because you obviously see that Olive isn't the kind of girl identified with a beauty competition but finally she shows everyone how real life is and how the girls are being ridiculous.

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.
