un monstre em ve a veure | 2016



A monster calls, the movie directed by J.A Bayona that talks about us.Yes, about us, about our inner I and, especially, the fears that we have and those fears that, sometimes, we don't know how to master. 

The protagonist, Conor, is a boy that lives in a world with practically no support. His parents ara divorciated, he suffers from bullying at school and her mother has cancer. Despite that, he tries to live his life as a boy of his age. 

However, every night, Conor has a dream and always wakes uo at the same moment, at the same time. We do not know how the dream ends, and he seems like either. 

Nevertheless, this story, that combines reality, fiction, aquarelas and dreams (or nightmares) is a metaphor of what we do not want the world to know about us, because we think it isn't correct or ethic or even a metaphor of those things we don't even face ourselves. 

It is a novel, a poem and film, all in one.

[CAT] Un monstre em ve a veure, la pel·lícula de J.A Bayona parla de nosaltres, Sí, de nosaltres, del nostre jo interior i, especialment, de les pors que tenim i que, a vegades, no sabem dominar. 

El protagonista, Conor, es veu sol en un món on pràcticament tothom li gira la cara. Els seus pares estan separats, pateix "bullying" a l'escola i la seva mare te càncer. Enfront a tot això, ell intenta portar una vida el més adequada possible per un noi de la seva edat. 

Cada nit, però, te un somni i es desperta sempre en el mateix moment precís i a la mateixa hora. No sabem com acaba el somni, i ell, sembla que tampoc. No obstant, aquesta història que combina ficció, realitat, aquarel·les i somnis o malsons, no deixa de ser una metàfora del que no volem mostrar al món, potser perquè creiem que no seria correcte, o el que és més, del que no volem afrontar nosaltres mateixos. 

És una novel·la, poema i pel·lícula, tot en un.

the secret life of walter mitty | 2013

A dreamer, Walter Mitty is a contemporaneous dreamer that wants to say that to escape from the world we're living in, we don't need, if we would like to change it, to fight, we need to dream. With this motto Walter Mitty starts to change his life and live the dream.  When the Life magazine is about to close it's doors to become a digital source of information Mitty is the person who needs to provide the photography that will be the 5th essence and last cover of the publication. The problem is, he does not find it. The movie, then becomes a journey, sometimes ponderous and boring, where the best thing is the photography. The original story was simple, but this one starts being also simple and changes to be complex and more awkward than it should be.  Very promising, but the result hasn't been as good as it could and should have been. The moral could have been a good point for this movie, but the idea of dreaming to escape from the problems is not convi...

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!
