Saltburn (2023)
Difficult to believe
Most of the movie is entertaining if you're used to uncomfortable scenes such as in Mother!, Midsommar, etc, I had to fast-forward some parts.
There is an excellent cast performing in Saltburn taking into account the type of shots they had to play. The issue for me was in the second half of the film, the plot begins to lose its coherence until you hit the end where everything falls apart. You could leave frustrated, feeling unfulfilled because of the final act, It's hard to believe, it doesn't make much sense in real life.
As other reviews mention it isn't an original plot twist, you can forsee it, you've seen it in other movies or read in books.
The Graduate (1967)
Ageless
Spite the fact this movie was released almost 50 years ago as a Gen Z-Millenial I really enjoyed this movie. The story goes around the uncertainty of what life is while you're turning into an adult and that seems to be something everybody, no matter the year you were born.
Really enjoyed the story and the drama scenes.
The Wicker Man (1973)
Reminded me of Midsommar
This is a classic I hadn't watch, I saw Midsommar first and I saw a lot of similarities. It keeps you wondering what is going to happen as the police officer begins to investigate the disappearance of the girl. It builds a complete world in a short amount of time.
Really enjoyed the development of the story.
I Origins (2014)
Enjoyable movie
Although the love story the director developed in the movie was not complex and took place really fast I really liked the topics mix building
You'll find a love story, science and spiritual conversations in the movie which made it interesting for me to watch, is not a usual combination you can find in the cinematic world.
La distancia más larga (2013)
Enjoyable
Didn't expect the film to address all those emotions, although characters could be more developed it is a movie that touches the family relationships and one's feeling to connect with your loved ones.
Expected more scenes from the beautiful landscape of Venezuela but didn't feel it like a latinamerican movie. Really good filmography.
Ise Yarar Bir Sey (2017)
Enjoyed it
I'm used to watch Hollywood movies and I really liked to begin diversifying my taste with this movie. It kept you waiting for the development of every character and how the story would advance. Made me reflect on your choices in life.
El olvido que seremos (2020)
Do you rate a movie comparing it with the novel it is based on?
I struggled with this question while I was watching the movie, you feel different emotions while reading the book and other completely different watching the movie. Sometimes what happens in the book is not entirely portraited in the movie. Rating the movie leaving behind the novel, is a story very important to know for me as a colombian, and for a foreigner is momentous.
The story line was clear and the director played with the B&W and colored cinematography to execute the transition between the different stages of Hector Jr life. Taking into account the decades, the scenery and costumes where nicely built with some points to improve. Some of the most emotional scenes were strongly performed and filmed, you could feel and get to that moment of catarsis.
Stories like these need to be well known and I think cinema is a really great way to do it.
Begin Again (2013)
Enjoyable
At first I wasn't expecting much about this movie, I'd seen some of the scenes on tv but never watched it complete. Today I decided to watch it completely and I really had a good time. Although it has many songs such as a musical I really liked them, even to the point I added some to my playlist in Apple Music. Really good performing of Keira and Ruffalo in their characters.
Paris, Texas (1984)
Thinking about life
I didn't know much about the movie, just the abstract of it. At first I was expecting another story behind the mystery of Travis appearing in the middle of nowhere in the dessert, little I knew I would encounter with a story about life, I could relate with some of the characters feelings and that is a feeling you don't find in every movie you watch.
Probably it isn't a movie for everyone, is slow paced but with a deep meaning of family.
La La Land (2016)
Loved it
At first I thought: Oh my, what if I don't like this movie?. I'm not that into musicals and the begging welcomes you with a song, but as the movie develops I could get comfortable with it. I loved the shots taken while dancing and singing most of the time, but maybe there are some flaws such as the scene of Mia's audition where she seems like floating in the black background making it look funny. I also loved the direction in which they choose to represent life how it is, it is not a happy ending story although we can get a glance at the alternative ending where Mia and Sebastian live together.
The work between Emma and Ryan is wonderful, they've work before reason that assures that the connection feels real for the audience despite their first approaches are hostile in the movie, they develop very well their characters relationship. And all their work for dance, piano and singing scenes were worth it.
It is very sad to see reviews with an 1/10 score, this movie doesn't deserve such a poor score. It has an amazing soundtrack, yes i would love more songs but it is not that relevant. There are not many movies such as this one nowadays, people prefer watching two hours of action spectacle without experiencing any kind of feeling.
I do not say you need to love it but it is a must-watch.
