Fly Away Home (1996)
A Lovely Warm-Hearted Movie with an Environmental Touch
I watched this movie back in 1999, at that time I recorded it into a VHS cassette from HBO. I might have watched that movie like 3 or 4 times during that period.
I was one day at home while I listened to some laud geese flying and cackling while migrating south. In that instant I remembered about the movie and how it made me feel, I can say it ignited in me some sense of environmental justice while young, and here I am, pursuing a Masters' Degree in Environmental Sciences 20 years later. Exactly in that moment, I bought the movie in BluRay through Amazon, a few days later I was watching it again on a date with my special one.
It made me feel like the first time I saw it. Great movie, great message, great story. A little bit too American at the end but still almost perfect. I would recommend it to anyone.
Wonder Woman (2017)
I'd never thought I was getting one really good movie on a SuperHero movie again.
A movie beyond woman equality, history, war, ethics and even religion. This movie was behind it's veil about honor, duty, good, evil, doing what is right, and of course love. I have never seen so profound aspects in another fictitious hero movie. A masterpiece on it's kind.
This in my opinion, makes this hero movie go up to the top, sharing places with The Dark Knight. As what I've seen so far on my 29 year old life span.
La La Land (2016)
Never stop chasing your dreams, even if it's love in between.
This film is a quick journey through the road of love and success. Hopes and dreams, accomplishment and despair, love and broken hearts. This movie is not exactly a musical, is a story where specific important scenes were told by music. But still the film shows life is never meant to be perfect, it can't never be perfect, in the way decisions has to be made in order to follow our destiny.
Sin muertos no hay carnaval (2016)
A vivid portrait of Ecuadorian and Latin-American everyday life.
On a summary, this film depicts a lot of the most intrinsic aspects of a Latin-American country; poverty, money, power, corruption and even soccer. The characters are naturally depicted by the cast, there is no weak figure in the film whatsoever. And as always, Sebastián Cordero takes the audio visual narrative to a perfection from beginning to the end with no single scene written randomly just to fill the film's run-time.
'Sin Muertos no hay Carnaval' will give the viewer a dramatic journey by the everyday life of Ecuadorian's society. The story hooks you up mostly because of the perfectly portrayed linearity; each scene, each dialogue gives an important supporting sense to the general story-line. The actors and actresses cast for this project, were perfectly chosen in order to fill the characters they were going to portray. Finally, to step out of reality for a little bit, the story has a dramatic but positive ending towards minorities, something that in real life rarely happens. By those means giving the viewer a sense of hope at the conclusion of the movie.
