matrix


title : Matrix
Directed by: brohers Wachowski
Country: EEUU
Year : 1999
Gender : science fiction
Running time: 136m

I could say that is the example of allegory
the Cave of Platon led to science fiction movies.
This story of Plato, is about two worlds.
One is the world that we, ignorant,know.
This one be a lie because there are another world more pure and real,
which you can only enter through knowledge and pain.
In the movie happens quite the same,but it disguised in a world
where machines dominate us.

EXTRA POINT.

films

I think that cinema is one of the most important things in our life.
I really love to watch a film sitting on the sofa,
drinking something and with good company, but always if it is a good film.
A few of my favourite films are The lord of the rings, Sin City,
Truman's Show
,all of Larry clark and Kubrick, azul
oscuro casi negro,
saw or the mision, this best one I think.
I've watched it a lot of times, and everytime I've enjoyed it more.
In fact, I really love cinema and a lot of kinds. And I think that without it,
our life would be very bored and without that we would lose a lot of brilliant moments to enjoy =)

It is clear that the main theme of the film is the dance,

One of these values is the mentality of the era,
as it's not seen a guy who dancing ballet.

super size me


Super Size Me is a documentary of 2004, written, produced, directed and starring by Morgan Spurlock, one independent american filmmaker.The intention is follow a diet of only McDonald's articles for 30 days.

Spurlock has the help of three doctors (one cardiologist, a gastroenterologist and a general doctor), and a nutritionist and a personal trainer too.
The challenge begins when the protagonist has very good health, but finally has to leave this experiment because his health begins to deteriorate. He has a stomachache almost every day, gets tired easily and many of his vital organs begin to get sick.

I think that is a very didactic documentary and distracted.
This movie documentary talks about a very real and current topic the obesity, wich can be seen everywhere.But not only talks about McDonald's too of all kinds of fast food. I recognize that I eat fast food, but after seeing this documentary , some time ago, I don't eat many burgers as befor.

ken park


Original title : ken park
Year: 2002
Time : 96m
Directors : Larry Clark y Ed Lachman.
Gender : independent

In one zone of california four friends,three boys and one girl which are known since childhood ,all of middle class, they live together their friendship while they experiment with their sexuality but everyone of one diferent form.
The girl, Peaches, lives only with her father, he's extremely religious.
Then Tate, he lives with his grandfathers and always is masturbating while strangles his neck.Claude is a shy skaterboy who suffers sexual assault of his father.
And for finally Shawn is a guy who doesn't know if prefers his girlfriend or the mother of this for have sex.


This movie has explicit scenes of sex and there are also drugs,
something very typical in Larry Clark,a director very controversial
everytime that he's located behind a camera.
More or less all his films, kids, bully or wassup rockers have the same argument.

The only criticism that I have about the film is that everything is extremely unrealistic, even the Tate's dog wich only has three legs.

love me if you dare



Original title : Jeux d'enfants
Year: 2003
Time : 93m
Director : Yann Samuell
Gender : Romantic Drama

Shopie and Julien are two children with problems,
but one day they meet and together began one game,
¿capable or incapable?
But early they grow and they see that life can not
always be a game with trials and challenges.
Shopie and Julien in their lives laugh together,
they skip the rules with her games but also hurt each other
except to acknowledge that they are in love.




It doesn't the typical love film , I suppose that because it is french and the course of the argument goes to a different rhythm and have a different way to talk about love, obsession and the pain that two persons can do, when one of the couple breaks the heart to other of the couple.

I love this movie because it's a lot of romantic but
without being cloying and because is explained like story.
Is a sympathetic and fun story even cruel at the same time,
can remind Amelie and this can be a negative point but i hope
that if you see this film , this enjoy you.

I choose this movie because everytime that I see it ,I cry of emotion,becouse is cruel but beautiful too, especially the end of this.
And why not ?... the protagonist,Russell Crowe, is very atractive ;)

Hard Candy


Director: David Slade.
Country: USA.
Year: 2005.
time: 103 min.
Genre: Thriller psychological.

Hard Candy , is a film about a teenager, Harley, she is very clever and since three weeks ago she is chatting with a men in internet,Jeff, he's a photographer and has thirty years old.
And now it's time to meets Jeff in a caffe.
All begins when Hayley do a cocktel with vodka and puts a drug in the glass.
A few hours after he wakes up, tied to a table,when Hayley confesses that he knows that he's a paedophile.

I think that the interpretation of the Ellen Page (Hayley) it's amazing,
and it's nice too know some curiosities about this movie like,
that the film was done in twenty days more or less and with very low budget.
And also I think that is very important thing do any film like this, and treat real subjects like paedophilia and have a real vision of issues of the people who abduct girls,for after rapes she.

THE DREAMERS


Director: Bernardo Bertolucci
Language: English and French
Year : 2003
Gender : Psychological film

The dreamers is the story of three teenagers,
two of they are french twins, Isabelle and Matthew,
and the third is a young american guy who they meet in the cinematic,his name is Theo.
Set in 1968 in the middle of one revolution political ideals.
Together they are going to live in twin's house alone,
because the parents are travelling.
The three friends are lovers of cinema and they spend their time speaking about life, while they know each other with erotic'n'mind games related with the cinema without censor the images with nudes or sex.

I like so much to see the fact grow the brothers
having no parental care and money whenever they need.
A curious sentence from the movie is that always prefer to parents of others but your grandparents are allwals the best, this argument is in the first night that theo lives in the twin's house when the parents of this still stay, before their travel.
