Oscars 2011. Predictable and boring

Something is wrong if the best of the Oscars this year is that Kirk Douglas, at 94 years, appears on stage and that it occurs within a few minutes into the ceremony. Of course, it was a delight see wasting aplomb, grace and class, but if that's the best, why the remaining served just over three hours of the gala? The awards were the most predictable in years. The presenters, the most bland. The gala, the less pace in a long time. And Hollywood did not give many signs of evolving. Yes to reward the good, I'm not against the winners, but the Academy missed the odd opportunity to take a step forward. The summary is that the awards were sung (especially important, because there was betting that the four actors had winners), there were no great moments to remember (even the pregnant Natalie Portman) and the ceremony was dull. Well, everything but Kirk Douglas and the much missed in these conflicts Billy Crystal.

winner of the night: The king's speech . Yes, but no. He won because he took the prize for best film, best director, best actor and best original screenplay. But gained little. Because Origin shares the fact that he took four awards, while the film Christopher Nolan are all taenicide character. For me, Origin is still the best film of 2010. Is the most complete, most original, the most disruptive and most surely will be remembered now and in a few years. But as the Academy Nolan had not included in the quintet of nominees for best director, it was impossible to get out as the winner of the night. As for me, second best movie of 2010: Toy story 3 . Hollywood still does not dare to judge as he deserves the animated film. The crumb to give a class by itself still seems to me absurd, a justification as any for not recognizing that animation is a technique as valid as the real action to make a great movie.

What is also clear from these Oscars is that David Fincher is going to take his own to find recognition as prizes (and enough to write this so that his next film takes ten statuettes ...). He ignored their Revolutions police movies ( Seven and Zodiac ) and although he was nominated by The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and now social network, the awards were for others. The dramatic film about the origins of Facebook deserved a better fate, but that will take the prize for best script is a good recognition. Which also achieved the best soundtrack left me cold. Very suitable in the film, yes, that Hans Zimmer Perolo ago by Origin or what Alexandre Desplat gets in The king's speech is well above the innovative nature of the music social network. Posts to be original, could have given the award for Daft Punk for his outstanding work for Tron. That itself would have been rupture.

winning actors irreproachable. Gave me special joy awards Natalie Portman and Christian Bale. For me, two of the most prodigious performances of the year but not for many years. Colin Firth is also fantastic and if any leaves me somewhat bittersweet flavor is that of Melissa Leo. Not because I like its impressive work, but because I have a weakness for his co-star and nomination, Amy Adams, which established that damaged the script and perhaps mounting The Fighter . And not only impeccable but also great news that I found Grit are outside the vacuum, becoming one of the biggest losers in the history of the history of these awards. Hollywood did not bet on originality, but at least it honored the blatant copy of the Coen brothers sobrevaloradísimos. That's something. In any case, one should not take awards too seriously. Alice in Wonderland film is very, very limited. Probably the worst thing that has made Tim Burton. And he won two awards (art direction and costume).

So much for the winners. As for the show, I think it was the worst of recent times. Dull and boring. No more grace than distilled Anne Hathaway in the musical number in which he recalled the last major presenter of the Oscar, Hugh Jackman. The fact is that Hathaway and James Franco were completely overwhelmed in the first fifteen minutes for the sobriety of Tom Hanks (the first to present awards) and Kirk Douglas unleashed. And if we add the subsequent appearance of Billy Crystal (at the Kodak Theatre was a ovation, perhaps the biggest of the night next to none who received the honorary award winners, Francis Ford Coppola and Eli Wallach, delivered at another gala and came here just to say hello from the stage), things look bad for Presenters this year. Crystal won the audience in just over a minute, did his role and did so with grace. It was Billy Crystal at the Oscars again. It looks increasingly essential for this gala is done in an entertaining way.

The impression left is that the 2011 Oscars have gone unnoticed. And that was very good films among the nominees, as charismatic actors who won and who did not receive the statuette. The event happened just three hours, was not as long as other issues which, being longer, were openly criticized. But it seems clear that something is wrong when twigs and leaves a dull spectacle. Because if anything is clear is that this gala are going to remember Kirk Douglas. Neither the winners or the losers, not presenters. Only Kirk Douglas. A guy who, incidentally, never won the Oscar, but as he recalled he was nominated three times (The idol of clay, The Bad and The Lust) and gave an honorary award in 1996. What things have life.

'Grit' remake not a photocopy dark and bad

The Coen brothers are a mystery to me. Liking or so, until 1998, until The Big Lebowski were a recognizable and interesting filmmakers, with a small defect, with the exception of the epic Note (legendary Jeff Bridges), his films not stay long in the memory although they were good (perfect example, Miller's Crossing ). But something happened after that film, because since then did not generate the slightest interest. Nothing you have liked me, I felt were overvalued until the excess (perfect example No Country for Old ) and some other of their products have come to irritate me (perfect example A man seriously). But they finally managed to overcome their main weakness. Grit the film will stay forever in my memory. Yes, the Coens have taken another major hindrance to completely cancel their merit: this movie I've seen it. Have been limited to photocopy Grit did Henry Hathaway in 1969 with John Wayne. We have come a photocopy dark (tone and outcome), but copy the end of the day. And, yes, I remember dialogues and scenes. But with other faces. Best faces, indeed.

not know and have not read the book that are based both Hathaway movie like the Coen brothers, so I can not tell which parts are true to the original findings which are literary and film. But what is clear is that all but one belong to the first film version. The Coens introduce only two major changes in his film, a wonderful opening scene, dark, intriguing and well told, and an end to almost be understood as an effect of time. The triumphant song of a lively John Wayne would not make sense here with Jeff Bridges. He is past western, the new western requires a different tone. Then there are some other things, a history that slips inconsequential half of footage and changed some dialogue scene. But that's it. And so the Coens have managed no less than ten nominations for the Oscars. The most amazing is that they have received the Best Adapted Screenplay. Since then adapted it, but the degree of adaptation is embarrassing, because, again, is a photocopy of the original. The same phrases, the same sequences, the same characters. And what is more offense, it all sounds worse than the original. Aesthetically

you can say it's a well shot film. Hard to argue. But the only thing new is that darkens the color palette. The red scarf no longer fits John Wayne in a western XXI century, not since Clint Eastwood masterfully closed a cycle Unforgiven. Here are gray, brown and black. There are no concessions to the joy in the tones. And surely it is a wise move, because otherwise the copy would have been perfect, as much as Jeff Bridges lead the eye patch John Wayne contrary to that had blocked or Josh Brolin has the burning of the face in the cheek opposite Jeff Corey . Big changes Coen, yes sir. Almost like a subliminal message to the viewer, warning that there are major changes over the first Grit. See the two films in a row is a very healthy exercise that removed the pretentious work of the Coen in modern cinema. On their offenders had their point. Now that will artists have been portrayed. Rather, it should have been portrayed, but it is not. Among the exaggerated praise to Javier Bardem for No Country and this rehash old West gives the impression that we are before a true master of cinema. Not for me, of course.

And everything in this Grit sounds less authentic than the original. History, for who does not know, is simple, as simple as was that of almost any western mid-twentieth century. A man is killed and his daughter engaged to a federal agent brave but too fond of the drink to give chase. And by the way they are joined by another man who wants to capture the murderer, but take it to another state to be hanged for another murder, which does not like the girl, who wants his revenge and not the other. That actor John Wayne was drunk. And John Wayne will always be John Wayne. Jeff Bridges is by far the best actor in this release, but sounds like deja vu, maybe even a negative note darker, less funny and more pathetic (and said this as a compliment to their work). Matt Damon is the most insipid, Josh Brolin and she wasted directly Hailee Steinfeld, who has garnered much praise, is no more accurate and far below the charisma exuded in the original version of Kim Darby. And if you remember the stunning original roles in the Robert Duvall and Dennis Hopper is when we realize that the distribution of the Coen line to a height lower.

The first impression left Grit is astonishment. I do not know if everyone has forgotten Henry Hathaway's film or if I have to praise the Coen whatever they do. And so the second impression is even more negative, almost angry. Because one feels that I have been fooled. Enraged that other remakes have much bolder critic who despises him as a sign of lack of ideas in Hollywood and then get a product like this and receive praise and awards everywhere. Hopefully over the years this Grit occupy its rightful place, ie, the most absolute of forgetfulness. I will be sorry for some of the actors I admire and respect. But the Coens do not. The Coen ended his film career with The Big Lebowski and left interesting films like Fargo , Miller's Crossing, The Hudsucker (what, the only films that garnered fierce criticism because, they said then, was a concession to Hollywood) or Barton Fink (not cite Arizona Baby, although I know many people like, because I did not say much). What followed is indescribable, astonishing and, as this time, irritating.

'127 hours', 94 minutes and an instant

Aaron Ralston was trapped five days in a rocky canyon in Utah. Withstands 127 hours the title of the film until, finally decided to cut his arm, which was what I was trapped by a boulder. Mutilate chose to live. Danny Boyle, a director for me overrated and conquered critics and awards with the dull and I think that more and more forgotten Slumdog Millionaire, directed this film which tells the saga of Ralston. One moment, only a moment, is what really matters. And most of the time when the short arm, mark the later time. What makes a man when living thing? That is the point of interest in a film, being a true story, is lost in the game of unreality, which seems more interested in innovation (does not) in formal aspects that appeal to the humanity of each and every one of its viewers. In claims similar in appearance but in reality not so 127 hours remains light years Buried . James Franco, yes, it offers a real tour de force interpretation.

Danny Boyle is still considered a groundbreaking, an innovator. Perhaps a rebel. There is no way to understand his eccentricities visual 127 hours. The strength of this story is that it actually happened. But what we see is not a recreation but a picture that distorts the elements of good document. We divided into three levels (like the opening sequence, if intended as a sort of metaphor for the current lifestyle, not rogue relationship with history), we see images camcorder, see pictures scrolling across the screen. We see a lot of visual experiment that we have seen in the past, although probably not in such a high percentage of the same film. If I asked how come the more interested I stylistic Danny Boyle that the human drama of its protagonist, it would have had to come to the memory of his previous film. Slumdog Millionaire was a documentary about poverty in India that a great film. With or without them Oscars. And here is the same. To Ralston said it was almost a documentary of what happened.

The fact is that, or perhaps because of that, narratively the film takes too long to boot. Perhaps because the viewer that's waiting to see is that 127 hours agonizing captivity suffered by Ralston and, instead, Boyle takes many turns before arriving at the fateful moment that falls into a ravine and a rock imprisoning his arm. And from that moment, Boyle prefers to focus on the unreal world, in hallucinations, flashbacks, dreams, rather than its own character. James Franco gets, however, that the actual scenes, which correspond chronologically to the torture accidental, are the best in the film. Awe, he did, with much more class than the director in his choices, when put in front of his camera and tells who he is, what has happened. Or that sequence (very upset, yes, Boyle), which is released questions and answers as if it were on television (is it too far-fetched to draw a parallel with the conversation between Gollum and Smeagol in The Two Towers second installment of the trilogy The Lord of the Rings? ).

Undoubtedly, James Franco is the best of 127 hours, although the first option was Danny Boyle Cillian Murphy (the Scarecrow in the Batman movies by Christopher Nolan.) It is not easy to be present at all levels of a movie. It is not, moreover, when the story is as hard as it. And it is not when it means, also represent the mental deterioration of a person who fears for his life and who are suffering. Not getting ahead of trance is that it overboard. Boyle will soften somewhat the task of footage devoted considerable time to the moments before the accident, when Ralston meets two young lost to serving as a guide for the area. Distractions that will surely want to prevent the viewer to focus on the scene, in fact, has turned into a movie. But it is inevitable. That scene is hard, with much blood, but perhaps less emotionally exploited by the director of what would be desirable.

The moment marks more than the 94 minutes, and that no says nothing good work by Danny Boyle. The film ultimately is a superb work of interpretation and the push to find out more about an epic human story. But after that moment, the castle collapses. The epilogue is long and says little more. As some had said before the accident. Boyle fails to close the movie well and on time, or enter it hard enough. And he remains a moral value more typical of young beavers manual that the narration of an episode about human nature. 127 hours as the story remains disappointing and a gripping story with a sublime actor.

'Entangled' ... and delighted

Disney will always be Disney. And that means being the biggest and best record in the animation of a lifetime. It is true that Disney has been lost a few years, swallowed up by the genius of Pixar (and despite the brand share from the beginning, first as a distributor of films by John Lasseter and company and then as the same company), worried by competition other studies (even if only occasionally offer these products that can compete with it), and perhaps something inappropriate to the times. Well that's it. And that's as it had to end, with a return to origins but understanding the new era. Princess and the Frog marked the road, but Entangled (Rapunzel) is the film marks the beginning of a new era for Disney, one that returns to wow children and adults, one in which fairy tales are again based thematic and excellence in animation your brand. One in which each film can be expected with the aim of which equals or exceeds the former. All that gets tangled because it is a delight. Because of a lifetime.

could not be more than a classic tale converted to what the public expects today. Rapunzel is a story made popular by the Brothers Grimm (although the animated film almost limited to using the initial premise the classic tale and the name of his new heroine) and White , Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty or The Frog Prince. Note that all of them are classic Disney ... and the last one in history that was based very loosely, Princess and the Frog. That is, Mickey Mouse company has gotten the message. That to compete with other studies is not expected of Disney titles like Treasure Planet, Lillo and Stitch or Home on the Range. Fairy tales are expected are expected heroines as protagonists, the expected stories of love and magic, expect the classic soundtracks for Alan Menken Beauty and the Beast , Aladdin or The Little Mermaid (and Enredados could not be otherwise, with music by Menken). Disney has a model that anyone else knows conduct. It is no coincidence that Dreamworks Shrek began his career with a parody of what Disney like nobody else.

made these clarifications, Entangled has two clear references. The first is precisely The Little Mermaid. And there is a reference empty, as was the film that opened last golden age of Disney, which reached the top with an Oscar nomination for best film Beauty and the Beast and the multi collection The Lion King. Rapunzel, as Ariel, is a young apriosionada in a closed world (even that of the mermaid is the vastness of the oceans) and anxious to know what makes out of it. The girl with long hair, as is told in a wonderful prologue (which has a similar momentary absolutely amazing with that of ... Megamind ) is a kidnapped princess when it's just a baby by a witch who passed by his mother to take advantage of the power that holds the hair of the girl, the secret of eternal youth. Thus, locked in a tower in the hope that no one ever found. But who gives her is a handsome young thief, a rogue ironic that comes to his tower to escape the palace guards and take you to bring Rapunzel to where she wants to go to fulfill a dream to change the object that was stolen.

The second reference, one that undoubtedly few people cite when talking about Rapunzel is Sinbad. The Legend of the Seven Seas . This is one of the most entertaining films produced by Dreamworks although not in all of the most famous, and he scored a line to Enredados nobody has been able to understand: a story and characters viewed with a classic sense of adventure as classic (pun intended) as unique. That is Enredados . And that trumps all in the first half of the film, a real rollercoaster of action, adventure and music in which nothing is superfluous, nothing is lacking and most wonderful (although some musical numbers almost seem redundant, at least for the public adult). And that concept rollercoaster care fit a script to the smallest detail and establishing the relationships between characters in an almost perfect and with a formidable sense of humor and varied (even get a mime!). As I said, nothing is superfluous, nothing is lacking and all evolves into the best possible places, adventurous roller coaster of emotional roller coaster.

As for the animation, Disney will always be Disney. Excellence must be your scale. And that seemed lost. Maybe it was the lack of stage magic in so many of his later films, but the truth is that Enredados retrieves a visual power that seemed lost. A magic in the image pushed to the extreme camera movements as beautiful as impossible as a result of the immense progress of animation techniques and something that Walt Disney himself would not even dream of, but also a magic from the imagination always (Attention to the beautiful and precious lanterns scene, able to leave any viewer stunned, the age that is). It's computer animation, but almost gives the feeling of traditional animation. Because you see the water and think you are in the world of The Little Mermaid, see the castle and think Sleeping Beauty, is the magic of Rapunzel's hair and it is impossible not to think about the final transformation Beauty and the Beast . The magic of Disney is back, and made it hard. Entangled

is the level of the great Disney titles (of the great truth, which are few), but that of several of the classics that everyone in the head. It is undoubtedly a step forward but in the same direction with respect to Princess and the Frog. It is a beautiful adventure film, a fascinating love story (what better way to celebrate Valentine's Day, not to say that there are no romantic ...), a magnificent portrait of Disney-style characters. Although it is a very interesting character at times, perhaps the bad does not enter the cemetery where they are Blancanives Witch , Scar from The Lion King , Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty and many others. But that's the only thing I can think to put this delightful film, that scene to scene will eliminate any reservations they may have seen adults who accompany their children through their sense of humor, his well-constructed story with strong characters and believable. Children are already convinced and happy from the beginning. And they say that children never lie.

Very Painful Elbow, Slightly Swollen

overrated 'The Fighter', Christian Bale prodigious

The fighter is one of those movies that receive a continuous overvaluation, first from the critics and then from the awards. It is not an easy film to make, and its director, David O. Russell (Three Kings responsible ), you know. It is not easy especially since the previous Boxing cinema masterpieces have left with which this film will inevitably be compared. And in this comparison, The fighter loses. Not because they have virtues, which undoubtedly does, but because it fails to rise on merit from among the titles of this style. Yes highlighted by a simply outstanding cast, led by Mark Wahlberg and correct a prodigious Christian Bale, who is worth listening original version to stop at all the little details that make verbal and gestural an unforgettable role. A cast that rises above the predictability of the script and the holes left, missed opportunities for the brilliance of the actors would have been even higher.

With a brief review of the boxing film, one realizes that the challenge of creating a new movie is immense. Harder They Fall , Fat City , Rocky, Raging Bull , The boxer , Million Dollar Baby , the unjustly forgotten Cinderella Man ... There are many iconic titles that has given this little subgenre. What's new The fighter to earn a spot in memory? Not much, really. The big news stylistic features is to integrate the television format on the screen, first through a documentary that a group of filmmakers is making the boxer Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg) and his brother and trainer Dicky (Christian Bale), and then with the television footage of the fighting there in the film. But since we're not at a boxing film, but of a family drama set in that world lightly, losing weight stylistic novelty in the story almost without our noticing.

What matters to The fighter is family history. The film begins with two brothers, one a boxer and the other was trained. His mother (Melissa Leo) acts as his manager, while her father and her five other sisters are mere entertainers. Are not rich, have no style, and can barely survive at the expense of the small revenues that Micky out of their fighting, while Dicky live a bad life that threatens the career of his brother. In this situation, Micky finds a wife, a waitress (Amy Adams) who think it is time for the boxer to make their own decisions and for their own future, professionally away from his family. That clash of female personalities is just sketched in the film. O'Russell, according to the script Scott Silver, Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson, has stopped in both environments (thanks to a superb and very appropriate musical selection) that is slipping further development of this issue.

It is a pity, because some actors in a state of grace, cried out something else. It does have everything you need a Christian Bale makes the best role of his career, to the point that one must ask a thousand times if we are facing the same performer who gives life to Batman for Christopher Nolan. Skills give much play chameleon and many options. He would be in the same corner as a sweeping Melissa Leo in this personal confrontation that drives the film, it does move, but does not finish into his soul. In the other corner is Amy Adams, an actress maverick, surprisingly versatile, powerful and always amazing that embodies those wanting more to stop the script. Borda what he does, but there is much more behind his performance that does not reach the footage The fighter . Including three create a perfect setting for Walhberg get carried away with success as the timid fighter, caught between family and love. I love them all, but they all hate.

There are two great scenes of confrontation between Leo and Adams, both formidable and stressful, both outline a path that does not stop making film. As a conflict so suggestive, it hurts the script to give you a decision as hasty and somewhat implausible. Perhaps we find the reason for the softness in the end credits, accompanied by pictures of the brothers Ward real, because this is a movie based on the story of a real boxer. It is assumed that if there are is because they're happy with the script and the project, which already suggests that everything is something sweetened, at least in the final stretch of the film. And despite having this reference in reality, one of the great successes of the film is that it keeps the excitement and tension of knowing what will happen in the final match inevitable climax of the whole boxing movie The Fighter even asked to screams emotional strength to be in other scenes.

The fighter is a good movie, but probably not as good as advertising, marketing, criticism and the awards we have tried to believe. Stresses and finds a place in the hearts of moviegoers for his wonderful acting job, but beyond that there is not new to hold on to. Perhaps everything is more clear if explained to Martin Scorsese (Raging Bull director ) rejected direct but Wahlberg (who work Departed) is proposed it, or if you know that Darren Aronofsky (director of The Wrestler on wrestling rather than boxing, but similar in tone and theme, it seemed even more overvalued) opted for black swan it instead of tape. Perhaps they did see how hard it was to fight against the references, for many qualities that one can gather on the screen. The fighter meets a few, but otherwise stays on the road.

'The king's speech, "

The king's speech is one of those films that cries out for a classical approach. With the focus on royalty, narrating historical events, with outstanding players but away from the Hollywood star and director production and England. And it did not. Or at least not only that. The king's speech, driven by something different and unusual ways by Tom Hooper (the director who clamored for recognition with the splendid and very unfortunately ignored The Damned United) is a modern film and current, but respectful of the environment and the demands of their background. In the story embraces the classical force, but on the package reveals itself as a film of its time, shot with wide angle lenses, with different frames, with different levels in the plane. And all this together, rich and tender, completed a master's formidable acting box, is a splendid film at all levels. Splendid and surprising. Emotional and beautiful. A very successful script-improvement within a framework unlikely (and elitist). After only

three films, and it can be said that director Tom Hooper is a fearless and a name that must be borne in mind for the future. It unfolds like a fish in water in human history developed in different contexts. He does not mind dealing with ordinary people or historical figures, with kings or football coaches, with black or white, men or women. In all there and in his films after Red Dust (a story about South African apartheid) and The Damned United (the most controversial phase of the career of English football's most celebrated its time). But if anything stands out is the double portraits, the relationship between two main characters, always placed on opposite sides of the spectrum of personality. And so, eye, without repeating, which has even greater merit. The king's speech is selling like Colin Firth's film and the first big surprise in store is that it is not at all. In the credits that name appears at the same level as that of Geoffrey Rush. And is that the film is about both.

who see it devoid of the weight of the publicity machine, you'll notice right away that is. That is as important as Rush Firth, although the Academy Awards has DECIC place to first in the category of actor. Not understood the story without it, is so essential to do with your family or reciting Shakespeare the man dedicated to solving problems of speech as the intimate rertato Hooper makes the King George VI. And therein lies much of the greatness of The king's speech, in a dual x-ray of the human soul, their fears, their achievements, their aspirations and, above all, their friendship (if anyone doubts that is the central theme of this movie, read the last message which is superimposed on the screen that appears before the parade's end credits). Firth and Rush, both sublime (although the first vocal effort give an apparent advantage), starring some interpretations exceptional, thanks to all around them. Helena Bonham Carter, Derek Jacobi, Guy Pearce and Timothy Spall (usually underestimated because of the comedic exploits both) help the dual picture is unbeatable.

And it is in the long scenes of conversation, skillfully prepared with the other key role players (there's nothing left), which broke out between a magic show is expected in many sequences. Is sensed because the first impression that leaves is that the formal aspect of the film is different. The unpredictability of audience before the show that provides you can even at times doubt about the wisdom of the choice, though the mystery is cleared gradually with master plans (the end of the conversation in the gardens, leaving one of the characters blur and a few steps back, as opposed to placing one side of the screen and Russ Firth in the flat-reverse shot of one of its conversations) and with a splendid use of all weapons which may be worth a movie, from a photograph precious to sublime music of the great Alexandre Desplat (this is where comes the only difficult decision to explain: why is not music Desplat Beethoven but which illustrates the final climax to the movie title?; the magic is broken here, but only minimally because the scene, assembly and their performances are outstanding levels).

There may be those facing the king's speech afraid to encounter a relatively slow and leaden. It is not. Absolutely. On the contrary. It is a vigorous portrait of an essential character of modern British history, which goes through a steady thanks to a superb dialogues (less rapid but equally scathing in more than one occasion that those The network, another film that played with a classical background and modern packaging but more acute). And for anyone who believes it's only going to attend a remarkable work of actors, see this film outside attending to details the interpretation will be a delight. Because this is also and above all, a film by Tom Hooper, who made a great job of direction and gives a very personal stamp on a film that, on paper, was in danger of being lost in a sea of \u200b\u200binterchangeable titles. It was not an easy film to make. Perhaps it was easier to interpret than direct. And the collective success of all involved is what makes The king's speech a showcase title. Modern and classical. Beautiful and inspiring in any case.
