Films and more: películas, teatro y más

There's nothing special in   La vie d'Adèle. Chapiters 1 & 2 's plot but a movie is not a book. It's more than a story, it's moving images and how these images can speak on their own , how a camera movement has a meaning as   Godard   and the theoretics said. Abdellatif Kechiche   knows it.   La vie d'Adèle   could be a lesbian story as it could also be straight or gay, but it's not. More than a love story it is a piece of life. Not in vain the title said it's just 2 chapters of one life. In that case, Adèle's life. Adèle ( Adèle Exarchopoulos ) is a teenager, lost like everyone at her age. Sex, boys, confusion, an unclear future,... We can see it in her face and in the way she sleeps, and thanks to the work of the director. From the first moment we can see how she eat s , dream s and feel s because the camera is close to her, it doesn't let her breathe. When she's with her family, her friends, or at partie...

I try to go the movies with a clear mind, even if I heard great or bad reviews of a movie. But I tried to go "clean". With Gravity  is almost impossible. But I just try to watch it in the best conditions possible. As an IMAX experience. Another thing I use to do is avoid myths.

Why? 1.- The mexican director use the new technology better than James Cameron  in Avatar . I admit Gravity  is an amazing 3D show as amazing as dizzy. Cuarón  abuse so much of this effect than the audience can feel sick after so many camera movements. They are not fast most of the times, they are just exhausting. 2.- Thinking about the "dizzy experience" I wanna think it's something personal, mayb...

The global crisis is changing everything: the life style, politics, economy, cinema, directors... In the last few days I watched two movies of two different creators Blue Jasmine  by Woody Allen  and L'écume des jours ( Mood indigo ) by Michel Gondry . The themes of each movie are completly different in a first viewing. The north-american director tells the story about a woman who suffer a breakdown after a divorce with a corrupt business man. Jasmine ( Cate Blanchet ) tries to come back to her past with her sister in San Francisco. But she can't come back to a normal life after enjoy all the pleasures, parties, and privileges of the rich world. On another hand Gondry  seems to come back to his origins. A completly fantasy low-budget world, made of simple things and effects to explain a sad love story between Colin and Chloe. The live the "foam of days" as a couple in their own fantastic world but soon the real life is gonna invade everything. The story...
