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.

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.
