'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.

Motherboard Mv42v1.3 Space Walker..

'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.
