Old Koleston Perfect Color Chart

Media APOCALYPTO portion

There are several films that deserve to be watched more than once. There are others worth hardly see them finish first, even ... but also those with a good half and not so good.

A film may be advisable to at least be good from start to finish but we know that not always happens. I have a list of movies with a strong first and second part, which I always prefer to see one more than the other. An example is the Best Impossible, this is a movie that I like it in its entirety but it has two clearly marked, the first where he builds the characters from their worst moments and the second starts with the trip, where things are resolved. The first is my favorite and could repeat it 10 times more than the second, but always look full.

With Apocalypto something strange happens to me ... Almost can not stand the first half of the movie (except for the first 5 minutes) but I'm excited to see several times in the second half. I think we could even say that these are two different movies in various aspects.

This film, like several of Mel Gibson, generated much controversy around the issue of America's native peoples and how they are shown in Apocalypto, as well as their level of crudity, loosely historical, etc. I think no one could say that the blood-loving friend Mel, do not put any meat on the grill when he shoots a film. Then we can agree on them, we always major productions, well filmed, with a good job of setting, staging and other minor details not like the use of the original languages. However, in my opinion, the deployment of scripts to generate controversy, is what I like least about their products and do not think it's something minor.

In Apocalypto see a top 5 or 10 minutes where presented The Jaguar Paw's tribe protagonist, living in peace but with a feeling that something is about to happen. After those 10 minutes, passing what he sensed ... That the film comes in a climate of violence and torture in the style Mel, set in a framework that changes from green jungle and home to an unfriendly desert man. Then comes the big city with painted white men and a lot of dryness around. As in any big city (including pre-Columbian), many people and much confusion.

All this is what prevails in the first half of the film. Here we do not finish you understand what's happening but we do not hooked much with this semi-mystery. There is a compelling story to invite to see such a scenario bleak and cruel.

From a concrete fact that Jaguar Paw lives, begins the second half of this movie but you could say we're talking about almost any other film. The only thing that has continuity with the first half, is 30% of the characters and I think nothing more ... Since then there is another scenario, other colors, another way of filming. This second part is a story as simple as a chase, but that simplicity does not allow you take off the screen during the 30 minutes it lasts.

Here we see a lush forest, full of life and danger but not for those who can live in it. We see this little man running through the jungle on a frantic but with a plan. Behind him we see his pursuers, like poor tireless Jaguar Paw, with the sole purpose of catching the guy and kill him, obviously. While there is cruelty, persecution is part of this almost endless and, as viewers, we understand it in any other action film where what prevails is the adrenaline. No matter where it comes.

As you can see, in the second half, Mel is stripped of the issue historically, socially, politically incorrect or correct, the controversy is far from relaxing in the hands of Hollywood and allows the film to entertain, period.

I've seen that second half, several times, no matter what is shown above. That other half was almost unbearable until I saw her for the first time. If the film had a letter, I would only half portion of Apocalypto (the good half portion, of course).

Love is never having to apologize ... for these films? - LOVE AND OTHER ADDICTIONS

What a strange thing, che ...

Of love and other addictions has so many ups and downs in the end it becomes almost unbearable. Do not laugh, not cry, I did not enjoy. Perhaps if they wanted to make one of those things, they had achieved.

A bit of the argument: We are in 1996. Jamie (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a sales representative for Pfizer, one of the main laboratories of the pharmaceutical industry. The guy is a stud, rising as much mine comes across and makes it possible to reach their sales quota for Zoloft, Prozac's main competitor. Jamie meets Maggie (Anne Hathaway), stereotype of "free and unbiased girl, who thinks in the future, working as a waitress and had a department that can only be in the movies" . They begin a relationship without any commitment and are slowly falling into "all that is love." Although there is a problem: Maggie is in the early stages of Parkinson's disease. The plot progresses, Jamie begins to sell Viagra to Pavot and as the love begins to have doubts about how the disease may face Maggie.

You hear that and ask, but what's up? "Romantic comedy or melodrama? Well, the movie that gets out. With its caustic picture of scrupulous in pharmaceutical industry, as films start imitating Thank You for Smoking, Jerry Maguire or Story Scales. With the passing of the minutes and the shivering of parkinson Hathaway, the film begins to approach things more like Sweet November (one in which the dying Charlize Theron "taught me to live" Keanu Reeves ) or Love Story.

So we have comedy and drama. A serious problem with Of love and other addictions is that both in tone or another, is very irregular. There are dramatic or comedy scenes and some very bad redeemable. The problem is not mixing stuff. There are movies are fine and play the most terrible and mixed with comedy while taken seriously. A clear example is a Boy, Chris and Paul Weitz.

Edward Zwick, the director, is a type experienced (but go better for that epic drama), and both Gyllenhaal Hathaway as they put the body into the thing, and it shows. When the script does not let on the brink of ridiculousness, the two stand out well. But they are not magicians. Towards the last half hour, the platitudes argument carried platitudes about interpretations. When the characters are forced to explain bruder everything happens to them, what they learned and what they feel ... breaks down what little they had came to us.

Eye, everything is not so terrible. A positive aspect of the film is that Hathaway seems to bother or get in a little ball, and that's something to stand out from much prudery that prevailed in the romantic comedies these days. Gyllenhaal shows her ass on several occasions and there is more of a scene in which it appears Pavot with a pillow covering her front. Among the boys division, highlighting Oliver Platt as the supervisor of Jamie and Judy Greer as one of the girls rising heartthrob Jake.

Another point worth mentioning is the music. Although the model begins with ninety more easy as possible, ( Two Princes, Spin Doctors of), things improve as the film progresses. The music quality is imposed on the baseline unnecessary time and listen to the great themes of Dylan ( Standing in the doorway), the Kinks ( A Well Respected Man ), Beck (Jack-ass ) Fatboy Slim (Praise You ), Billy Bragg with Wilco, to close at Fidelity, by Regina Spektor.

In short, we face a very uneven film. Personally, I think I have been interested in the way "Jerry Maguire" without having to get into the melodrama of the disease of the kid ... maybe it was something more interesting ...

not fast food or a Scottish surname ... What's a McGuffin?

Undoubtedly, the word seems to indicate a greasy burger, but it has nothing to do with it ... and very little for Scotland.

In fact, the McGuffin is a narrative element that is used in film. This is something that makes the characters triggered. Not important in itself, but an excuse for the plot forward. That is its sole purpose. It is something that is important for the characters, but not for the viewer. May be an object, person, event. Sometimes they are documents, a necklace, a microfilm, a secret weapon or a formula that can not fall into enemy hands.

The McGuffin is interchangeable: the stolen relic seeking a researcher can be a Van Gogh painting, a sculpture or a diamond necklace.

Whatever the case, what matters is the story progresses: for example, if the McGuffin is a weapon or a secret formula, "good" face big obstacles so that the object does not fall into the wrong hands. Meanwhile, fall in love and / or resolve any internal conflict.

who baptized (and used on dozens of occasions) to the McGuffin was Alfred Hitchcock.

In conversation with Truffaut, the "master of suspense" says the word comes from the Music Hall:

"Two men on a train and one them tells the other "What's that package that is in the trunk that is over your head?". The other replies, "Ah, that's a McGuffin." The former insists: "What is a McGuffin? "and his traveling companion replies" A MacGuffin is a device to hunt lions in the Adirondacks. "But if in the Adirondacks there are no lions," he blurts out the first man. "So that is why no is a MacGuffin, "replies the other."

Some McGuffins famous film history are the Maltese Falcon movie of the same name, the suitcase full of "do not know what" Pulp Fiction , "The rabbit's foot "Mission Impossible 3 in or stolen sword El Tigre, Hidden Dragon . George Lucas says the robots, a McGuffin is R2D2 of the first Star Wars as many characters spend the entire film looking for him. Another is looking for Private Ryan, an excuse to see a platoon forward by the Nazis occupied France, discussing the war between confrontation and conflict. There is comedy that also have a McGuffin. What's up, Doc? is a comedy in which characters go looking 4 the same bags.

Thus, the film is full of McGuffins, elements that serve as an excuse for us to see our favorite characters jump, run, laugh, love and so many other things ...

I leave you with a small video with an explanation of the Hitchcock original, animated version ...

Holidays in the real world: ADVENTURELAND

If we take as true the premise that says the parks are made for fun, let us out a little of the real world to move to another magic show in the park Adventureland greatly failure . However, achieved with great success, a young boy in a family more or less privileged and recently graduated from college, down from a hondazo the real world and know how beautiful and not so cute in it.

James is a guy who has had a fairly comfortable life thus far. Able to devote 100% to study a career of more abstract, just apply and q can be profitable. Throughout their studies, dreams of traveling to Europe to experience life with a friend. These plans are truncated when the crisis of the 80s hits hard at home and is forced to seek work. Sure ... with zero experience and a bachelor's impractical, the only gigs I get is a job at the local amusement park in the small town of his birth. Adventureland parade

For the most varied characters. A madman who reads Gogol at age 18, a minitas who do not care about the couple owns the park fans of each other and the park itself, an almost perfect juveniles admired by all, a girl a bit serious for age and as charming as mysterious, among others.

Clearly the boy will make friends and enemies, disappointed and feel let down, fall in love, and all other etceteras that can happen in a transition summer. Cash, the film does not seem to have more charm. However, the director, Greg Mottola, as in Supercool tells a story of a particular way that not only engages but also excited, but appealing to our real sensitive side, not effective or cheap tricks.

This distinction between real and fake is what most stands out in this film. That variety

transiting the Adventureland Park, is responsible for display without overwhelming them with platitudes, the real, fictional, make-believe, the authentic and poses.

A micro world of lies, like an amusement park, makes real-world model and the entry of James helps run the curtain, to discover what is behind everything. Here we see the ruthless and merciless to those who do not imports hurt the other so to have fun or show off, the loser has a lot to teach, the juveniles are not as perfect as it sells its facade, the girl hard and mysterious, vulnerable as anyone else.

The director, is working to combine the right amount of comedy, drama, entertainment and real emotion in just 90 minutes. Rare to find ... To add to all the good thing about this film, is located in the 80s and does great honor to the great music of that era.

recommend it for viewing at any time and join the list of forgotten little gems in the film.

Let's see the meteor or asteroid? - TWINS MOVIES

When we sat down to see Megamente with my niece Kira, I asked if he knew what it was about the movie, I said, "is a funny villain, but is actually Well, as My Favorite Villain. "

We had seen My Favorite Villain few months before and again we were facing a villain determined by their origin, but he chose to become a hero. Beyond the issues of the two films are different, it is amazing how similar the premise.

remembered that this happens quite often in Hollywood and I thought it would be worth writing a few lines about it.

You do not know if it happens, if there are industrial espionage or agree, but the truth is that every so often Hollywood studios films are released with almost identical.

most incredible cases occurred in 1998. During that year, two films were released in which the planet was in danger of a meteorite that was approaching. Deep Impact was more melodrama, with people clinging to reconcile while the world ends, and Armageddon was pure testosterone grasuna of Michael Bay. In the first, a fragment of the meteorite hit the Earth, claiming millions of lives, while in the second martyr Bruce Willis was responsible for completely eliminating the asteroid. There also were Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler and Aerosmith song ...

and 1998 continued the twins movies. Premiered in October Antz, a computer-animated film starring tiny bugs, and the next month opened Bugs , a computer-animated film starring tiny bugs. Naaaaaaah .....

in 1997 and had spent something like that, also with the disaster film. Fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis ... There are dozens of different types of disasters, but this year they were only thought of making movies of volcanoes. In February came Dante's Peak, with Linda Hamilton and Pierce Brosnan, and in April and came to theaters Volcano with Tommy Lee Jones and more production, but less effective. I remember the first scene from Dante's Peak , a sort of tribute to Shark : a carefree loving couple gets into some hot springs for a romantic moment, but the water temperature changes rapidly and the kitchen in seconds.

The following year he released The Truman Show, that the guy who filmed her life to show it on television. A few months later, Ed TV out with another guy whose life was a reality show, but this he was aware of what happened (in Truman secretly filming him).

continued to appear more. In 2000 we had two movies to travel to Mars, Mission to Mars and Red Planet. Katie Holmes and Mandy Moore starred in 2004 movie about what it feels like to be the U.S. president's daughter in Chasing Liberty and First Daughter . In both films, the girls rebel and fall in love with a guy in the end is a secret service agent ... Alcoy Alcoy is little.

In 2006, the magicians became fashionable in the second half (I think that even with two months apart) were released The Illusionist and The Prestige . Neither dazzled me, but Nolan had David Bowie as Nicola Tesla ...

What else? I remember a couple of films on security guards in shopping (a couple of years ago, one had to Seth Rogen and the other Kevin James) and I mentioned last year with My Favorite Villain and Megamente .

beyond that of "a Hollywood lacking ideas", it amuses me when (God knows for what reason) happens. I enjoy seeing both films, spot the differences and decide which is the winner of the duel.

Sex and the freaky

By Vicky Malena to "I think we're not in Kansas ..."

My friend tells me Fito "Feel like writing about Sex and the City?"

Canchero, I reply: " If I dare? Ja! Andá bringing a pretty big container for disposal of debris, dear "

is then that the film on the web and I am about to cut up in each of the minutes of the ridiculous two hours and a half of this show of fear and idiocy.

The film opens with the protagonist's smug in 4 or 5 different costumes walking down the glitzy New York and moved think "Oh Sarah Jessica Parker, as I sold a pair of shoes you became a goddess, even if you have the facial features of Claudio Paul Caniggia " And I say" It will atone for all my negative charge of the last month "

¿?????????????????????? REWIND! All the negative charge of the last month? Mmmm What happens to us, pigeon?

Well, enough of the internal dialogue that mess is already met with the silly of her friends ... time to pay attention and really, post, I am driven.

When I find myself crying inconsolably because the fifties with Carrie (the protagonist) was getting married, he leaves the altar GARP. Then she tells him deeply humiliated hates it, while her friends make a shield and turn to get into the car.

"Uh, that lapses" , I say ... What's up? And no intentions of becoming Ellen De Generes think this film goes against the whole idea of \u200b\u200ba woman with a certain uniqueness, feminine cliché is so strong that only you can be a successful woman and ruthless in their work, only a silly dream a baby and puppies, a nymphomaniac who does not need love, or the asshole of Carrie Bradshaw.

Instantly comes into my head the other end (we live in the country the River Mouth, which va'cer) and I think in modern buying homemade bread and androgynous dress cloths and say to themselves minitas zero, zero curled mambos zero, zero femininity, zero percent trans fat, zero heart in chest.

Sex and the city can be so stupid as we want (the next I can make a list, eh?) But after all is about love, they almost never lies in New York with shoes of 1300 dollars, but that is a movie that much!

And I do not have to choose, but if from someone with a gun and told me: ¨ What you prefer to be? a) A clerk who travels daily to the office by subway canned with Cosmo magazine under his arm to believe passionately in love, or b) an independent super short-haired with bangs, which will crown the art and audiovisual products that talk lack of communication in our era? If you choose not kill you "

And ... I prefer the former.

What we're really thinking is that one can choose who wants to be and at the same time not to be deprived of love.

The downside is that it is also Sex and the City 2 .

Time Capsule Question

The 80s ... will be fashionable now, but during the 90 banks not anyone! Small

For Sole Mendonça Paz to "I think not we are in Kansas ... "

While some time ago that are cool, the eighties were vilified during the late nineteenth century and early this. The hair spray, movies, series, clothing, music, almost nothing was saved, and to me those were my teenage years, for a time I had no reason to defend them with passion but I loved his production.

were charged with exaggerated but soft, unsightly, heavy music that was not so and that everything tasted like syrup. I listened endlessly to Richard Marx and cassettes 14 Hot Hits , Guns N 'Roses Bon Jovi and , watched movies more than ten times as Cuenta Conmigo, Bride Rent, Top Gun , or Footloose Sixteen Candles , who had been lucky to recover in one of the emerging video stores because for those not living in Capital was not so easy to see in movies, for only when the theaters opened Belgrano Shopping Soleil had the room as people.

Until then, the only releases that came to the suburbs were Anibal Mingo and the ghosts , loons have fun and spin offs style, and repetition of The Tent of Love and one of the Superagente . With the releases came a couple of years later it was in those movies where I could enjoy Dirty Dancing, Lethal Weapon 1 and Betrayal Sunrise (Tequila Sunrise) .

During the nineties menemistas large halls were opened throughout the country, with air conditioning, reclining seats and popcorn First World. It was the era of Ghost , Pretty Woman, Dances with Wolves and JFK, among millions. They were good, but not the same, I felt that replaced soul with overproduction and money, and the truth there's nothing like the handmade, has the love and dedication of producing it.

The blockbusters continued to grow, arrived today Titanic and video clubs are like dinosaurs and movies have more ornaments than a Christmas tree, the rooms are filled, the entries are taken online and all flying to see 3-D Avatar

But those who laughed at my CD Aspen Gold, today I borrow it to pass to the Ipod and I can be a chronic nostalgic hypochondriacal melancholy, but my films left be the least to be educated and redeemed and eighties and missed, today that is simple exaggeration, theatricality is not artificial, sublimation and purity, is real.

stories on the institutions - TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES IN THE CINEMA! Small

I do not remember how many times that I went off in the cinema, were varied. Without doubt, the worst was the Karate Kid 3 . The young Daniel San and Mr. Miyagi had everything ready for the final fight, unless the generator of the film. There I was, a small fan of martial arts films, completely disappointed not to see the outcome of the series of polishing and polished ...

But the outage is not unique, out of focus also is a classic of classics. The good news is that this is something that can be corrected in a short time. Some viewers get up and tell someone in the film what happens.

But there was a time when nobody got up and I, in my 13 years did not know if the movie was completely out of focus or the problem was my eyes. Finally, as the average time The Three Musketeers, a man began to complain loudly and fixed the thing.

Speaking of out of focus, yet luckily nothing happened to me in 3D, although I would recommend not to put the glasses until the light goes out. Was to see A Lycian in Wonderland when a known approached to say hello. Hello did not know whether wearing glasses or get it out. In any case, it was like a salami. Although it did not matter, I decided to get it out.

Again, just as he was out, very scared, my entry for Waiting for the Float 2 , the ticketing system crashed and could not sell me. When the time returned to normal, I did not want to see this movie. There got the message.

The Festival de Mar del Plata funny thing happened, at least for the spectators. We were watching a film in Peru. The young director sat in one of the first row, listening to what was the first showing of his work. Suddenly, the figures on the screen are beginning to disfigure and the tape shows that burns and melts it all. The director gets up and grabs his head. I'll never forget the image: the silhouette of the guy with his hands on his head against the destruction of his work. A good while later, they can continue with the project from a few minutes later in the film.

Well

and closes the round little anecdotes of cinema visits. Salud!

How Much Does A Typical Headstone Cost

stories on the institutions - the people we UPSET IN FILM

One almost automatically highlights the value of the collective experience of watching a movie in a room surrounded by strangers, but the truth is that sometimes we feel like some people sitting near us just never been born.

I have stories for all tastes, from a girl who was offended when the dinosaurs appeared in King Kong the lack of realism (yes, it was not the gorilla inquieatdo Nosecuantos meters high) to that girl that tears at the end of Romeo and Juliet with the death of Leonardo Di Caprio: "You'll see that he does not die ! , she told her friend. And watch the people coming out of the previous function. A grupete of old went to see Chain Favors as if it were a wake. All cried. "Sure, the kid palm" , I thought.

there are those who do not know what is going to find. A seconds into Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind with Jim Carrey's character crying in a car, a jerk sitting next to me says Oh, is not laughing? What makes this kid crying? And why is this kid if it is a joke?

And how forget those fleeing Against All Odds, frightened by the "pornography" of two naked bodies, having sex and people have sex, without candles, silk sheets or background music.

What we do with the kids that everything discussed, repeat what they see on the screen? Oops, now comes the women! It was, they saw it! And worse that lanyards are made and make comments for the entire room.

Never heard noise behind him packages snack Heaven knows what for so long that we thought someone was playing the game in the package? And left that one does not hear many people coughing in a concert like a movie ... Why? It seems that cinema was the exclusive program for tuberculosis patients.

And there are people who somatization. All closure Apollo 13 we generated a pseudo claustrophobia my brother. I remember I could not stop coughing.

During the moments before Amelie , some salami, a few rows behind me began to fight in pineapples. All the movies today condemned the fighters, who left the room to settle scores. What a shame! What would that Amelie Poulain?

Sometimes one is more prepared, as the screams of teenage girls every time someone takes off his shirt or make eyes at Twilight , or in cheap laughs Suar or Francella comedies. What I can say is that nothing prepared me for the rallying cry of hundreds of children in the cinema while Mufasa Bristol Martinez left the world of the living The Lion King.

Other anecdotes that I remember with a smile at the premiere of Star Wars - Episode I , full of rubbers dressed for the occasion, when he started the legendary music of John Williams and titles film appeared on space, a fan who was in the first row of Pullman was in leather and began waving his shirt as if to encourage his team from the second tray.

I have these and thousands of anecdotes, but none so strong as to prefer watching a movie at home ...

Dry Nose In The Moring

little story about institutions - pathovar IN THEATERS Box Office?

Any movie lovers enjoy the whole ritual: watching the daily schedule, approach the film, remove the entry, sitting in the chair and enjoy a unique experiecia: watch a movie surrounded by strangers. But things do not always go as planned.

When you watch a movie at home one controls almost all variables. That does not happen when you go to the movies and the result of the experience depends on a large number of people involved.

So many things can happen that one could never find in the living room of his house.

Obviously, many of these things are not common. The chances of encountering these events increases exponentially if you go to the movies more than 100 times a year, as is my case.

In a small series of 3 posts, I will review different types of stories. Started by problems in the cinema box office:

When you're young, can not believe the power they have those guys. Nothing more, nothing less than the power to decide whether or not you can watch a movie only suitable for adults of a certain age. I remember the day he was released Terminator 2 (PG-16, with reservations!), Criticism of Nation had made a mistake, put it was PG-13. I knew it was for 16, but went to the movies with cutting criticism, hoping to enter. When the ticket sellers said it was for 16, took the ace of its sleeve and put the criticism with the Southern for entries. The guy said: ¨ And what do I care what you say The Nation? · that day I learned not to rely so much on the newspapers.

That was the only time I rebounded. My size and other strategies I solved that problem a couple of years later. To see Pulp Fiction (only suitable for 18 years) to my 15 years, I invited the two top kids in the class, so that we seem larger. It worked and I felt Gardel.

When there were no complex with many rooms, some movies require a minimum number of viewers for a film. I remember one summer night. It was a Tuesday or something. We were two to see That Thing You Do! And ticket sellers told us they needed at least 6 people. Soon came a couple. Sumábamos and 4. Just when they should start the movie, I get another pair, the sister of a friend of mine with her boyfriend. With my head high, enter 6 to see this great movie directed by Tom Hanks.

ticket sellers sometimes undermine the movies that show: as a kid, one day I said the movie was suitable, but it was not for kids and that I was bored. How wrong they were. I had a great looking Fried Green Tomatoes at age 12.

Almost two decades later (few weeks), I spent something like: to get the ticket to see The Illusionist , the ticket sellers told me that I fixed it, because film was animated and had almost no dialogue. I pretended to be surprised and told him I was going to play.

That's the thing, sometimes not enough desire to see a movie. Every so often, we have some faced boy who knows all that is going to try to get us to turn back, or put ourselves to see the Fockers ...

Histeriqueando with Clint - GRAN TORINO

do not quite decide whether I liked this film or if I thought it was a real mess. So I left undecided Gran Torino, one of the last of the Great Clint Eastwood and the last (say) which appear on the big screen.

Usually when I go to a movie for the first time, came with an expectation, I leave the cinema with a particular sensation (I liked it or not, I enjoyed it or not, I think it's good or not so) but no definite and then some days I tell if I finish that first feeling is confirmed or not. Sometimes I decide to something but, seeing the film back, changed his mind. Fargo gave me something special: I saw it with high expectations when I see it finished completely convinced ... felt he had not complied with what I expected. However, I saw her back several times and today is one of my favorite movies. Gran Torino

saw when it opened in 2008 but still do not quite decide whether I liked or not.

In this movie, Clint Eastwood is a grumpy old man of Polish origin, Walt Kowalski, a former fighter of the Korean war and ardent supporter of the culture that established the wave of European immigration in the United States.

The old Walt has been almost alone in a neighborhood that originally was full of Polish immigrants, but today is composed of families who have arrived from all over the world mainly from Latin America and Asia. So, this man sits alone on the porch of their house traditional American flag flying and rifle in hand, to protect what little remains of its old traditions. Within this wave of immigrants comes a Hmong family moves into the neighborhood and right next to Walt's house, who seem to feel as if they were almost on purpose just to annoy him.

One day the old Walt discovers that one of the young next door is trying to steal their most precious asset: his Gran Torino. From this fact, both characters will be linked and the adult will try to advise the young in some aspects of life, especially as it unfolds in front of a live band heavy half threatening him and his family.

Through this short story, two worlds meet, exchange values, helping, learning, etc. A story a little obvious, as you can imagine ... And what I say if I tell you that you will see Clint with his pants octogenarian uploaded to the armpits, making great savior and having a couple of scenes really questionable cliches for a guy like him?

Part of my indecision about the movie, I think, lies at this point: Clint Eastwood. You always watch a movie with some kind of expectation. The minimum is to entertain you (I think that if a movie does not entertain you, in a broad sense, not worth it). Then there is what one brings to the film room to see it. While I am not a fan of westerns of Clint, I admire him for the films he has directed in recent times.

takes a little time watching a movie with some platitudes and elections somewhat exaggerated to tell a story that is not so great either. However, I must confess I feel most love to see this great film showing himself as a grumpy old man, hard and xenophobic but sympathizes with the suffering of others, willing to help and, incidentally, let the odd instruction to young people. Is there really a blunder or felt self-reference in all this? Sounds strange that it has accepted a project without conviction but also makes some noise and see a movie. On the other hand ... Clin Eastwood is standing there in front of a gang of hmnogs making the tough ... worth it.

But there is also something of all this cliché that I like more than Clint Eastwood. The film itself, I was entertained! When I left the cinema I felt that I had a good time, I had fun without thinking too much about all this that I mentioned above. Of course he had a sense of heresy movie fan because I knew the movie was not great, but in the most intimate feeling that I liked. After a while they saw it, I think back to all those faults and return to histeriquear with Clint and his choices for this film. And that was ... undecided.

Some will say that not worth asking so many questions for a movie. Of course not, but it drives me sleep if I'm not questioning so every movie, may not be writing this blog.

Mother (Pink Floyd - The Wall)

all know that Disney movies, between both color and joy, not dribble dark themes. Even so, it calls our attention to the fact of hearing a song from a mother to her daughter who reminds us The Wall , the obscure work of Pink Floyd.

In tangled there is no wall, but If a tower. There lives locked Rapunzel, a young woman that her mother filled with fear, but with a great curiosity about what lies beyond the window. With its small chameleon Pascal (a kind of opposite of Jiminy Cricket, the supports to be played instead of saying what he does wrong), he spends painting, reading, dreaming. Oh, right! The girl has a special feature: long hair and magical, allowing wounds to heal and rejuvenate. His mother was charged with poison head saying that in the outside world all want their hair, and only will be safe in the arms of his mother he loves. Moreover, the song he sings has much in common with the overwhelming Mother, Pink Floyd.

Rapunzel is actually a princess from a nearby kingdom, who was kidnapped at birth by an elderly woman who wants unlimited access to his magical hair, to be young forever. If the alleged overprotective mother is an ugly old woman who uses the child to be forever young.

As Ariel The Little Mermaid, Rapunzel dreams that are in the know outside world, but his manipulative foster mother load of guilt and fear that do not. It's amazing to see a villain who keeps telling the heroine he loves her. So what item should go into the plot for Rapunzel to escape and leave the world? Exactly ... a kid.

An adventurer (and thief) called Flynn chance Rider comes to the tower and helps the young to escape. So begin the adventures of these two, which will be gradually entangled.

The film becomes a great adventure, the most entertaining. Anyway, we should not forget that nothing occurs by chance. We will see as Rapunzel begins to unfold in the outside world, as he feels a mixture of guilt and joy, and find people who may seem threatening or different, but actually have their own dreams.

At this point, is more than clear that the movie fascinated me. Without doubt, the best of Disney animated since at least Lilo & Stich. The animation is incredible. In the words of the producers, the intention was to combine the best of both worlds: traditional animation and computer-made. So we have a movie made by computer, but with a traditional look. I read there that the style is based on Swing, a French painting of Fragonard. Without doubt, this is reflected in the outcome.

What else? The film has one great merit: the ability to be modern and intelligent, without departing from the fairy tale scheme. There was plenty of that in Enchanted, film that Enredados have more than one point in common.

There are dozens of things to say, but it would be best that everyone go and see and what we can talk about this movie for long.
