How children understand politics


Another movie post and go ... Today's topic is the political global seventies and childhood. The movie is going to have this issue is "The fault lies with Fidel" (La faute à Fidel), French film 2006, directed by Julie Gavras . I will

rolled r publications of this blog, until the summer of 2009 when I said the following:

"I must say I choose cost what to see, since that small cinema from downtown offered three films with great criticism: the French "The culprit is Fidel" (which I was eager to see (...)"

And so time justice was done, and while a few months later I had the DVD in my library, just a few days ago I could see. Well, I do not dwell more and I comment directly what it is and what I found (the classic AS in air).

Like I said, the movie is French, was filmed in 2006 and stars Ninna Kervel-Bey, Julie Depardieu and Stefano Accorsi. It was directed by Julie Gavras, the daughter of a famous French director (Costa-Gavras ) and was its debut .

The film narrates from the perspective of a 9 year old girl , the events of world politics in the '70s, with special focus on Latin America . And here many of us, as Latin American people, we will be comfortable ... not because the subject is nice (much less), but because we have very fresh yet what happened in that decade.

Well, the question is Anna La Mesa (Kervel-Bey) is a girl who lives in a house large with all the luxuries, with housekeeper and nanny and a family environment in the same conditions monetary welfare. Until one day be installed in your home an aunt and her daughter, from Spain, lying under the threat of dictator Franco .
The arrival of her aunt a change, not only in the household population, but also his father, who decided to protect his sister in France, as it was, to begin a crusade where there were people asking for help. In this way, and seen that in Spain there was much to do, it is proposed focus its efforts in Latin America more precisely in Chile . The role of the mother of Anna here is merely "accompanying" , because although she is convinced follow her husband in this, is just that: "I continue because it is my husband and he would go to end of the world ". There was no genuine intention to support a particular movement. This
turn
idoelógico necessarily impact on their children, who are living the ups and downs of militancy late parent. They spend a Cuban servant, a Greek and then to a Vietnamese. All of them are telling stories that Anna takes as current reality. Thus he learns from the mouth of Filomena, the Communists are a red-bearded no properties left to the people of Cuba. version hold their grandparents, who resent the direction being taken by his daughter in recent months.

Each of these stories told by the characters that go through your daily life, is it the testing : is or is not how they say? So is the odd discussion with friends, colleagues, family and demases. Understandably, when you can not process that much information, often contradictory between yes, soon.

The road turns uphill and Anna will have to deal with unexpected changes , sudden and often unwanted , but the film narrates the mutation not only environmental and ideological parent, but also Anna and her brother François. Some examples of these sudden changes: one day Anna goes to a religious school , and the next day she is the only girl in the room who does not receive catechesis, or the prohibition by their parents to read the comic Mickey Mouse , as a symbol of capitalism, or moving a tremendous home to a small apartment. The list goes on.

End shows us a reality that is far of which had at first. Maybe things were not as planned, but something new emerged from all this movement and, for the better, something lasting . Maybe Anna did not know, but at that time was taking an important step to determine whether or not it had Fidel guilt.

The movie is a 3 and 1 / 2 Clare . The performances of Depardieu and Accorsi are very good , install the drama it deserves. Because do not forget: the seventies in Chile bring a president overthrown by a socialist military government. So has this Gravel Spring socialist in the early seventies, and then appears tragedy. The contrast is well handled by the director, who takes the time to address the construction of a youth movement many kilometers away from where the events were happening, hoping to put there.

I think the seventies in Latin America is a very common for us Europeans to World War II. For the scope and magnitude of the time, never enough, and almost always get something new to tell. In this case, the novelty is that who narrates the facts is France, not America, and so from childhood innocence , which at times creates an atmosphere of comedy difficult to handle in this framework. Luckily, Julie Gavras has good hands and makes it clear that it deserves a smile, of what does not.

Finally, a nice movie to watch a Sunday afternoon . It is entertaining, but basically you do not forget what it is, and that always leads to reflection.

A trailer and will be up next!



PD: how difficult is seeing a smile to Anna ....!

Weigh Heavier After Pooping

BAFICI 2010





This year marked the 12 th International Festival of Independent Cinema of Buenos Aires. I took the time to read every billboard, and demases cycles and ended up buying 3 innings. Now, a review of my cut festival through these three films.

Day 1: Saturday 10/04.
Destination: Hoyts Abasto. Transportation
: 60
Soundtrack: The bus driver heard for almost two hours a compilation of cumbias Paraguayan that left me on edge ... In return, violinists on the subway and River bar way Tucumán. Movie
: "The counting of damages" of Ines de Oliveira Cezar , Argentina 2009.


synopsis said something like "the tragedy Oedipus returns to find a son returning to the family without knowing that it is .. the consequences of appropriate children's dictatorship ..." . I must say that attracted me and so I decided to see it compared to other films that vied for their input.
The argument revolved around a young man from France (Argentina mother, French father) coming into the country to work for a short period in a small business, maintained by a family. Along the way, has a car accident that compels him to stop and get off to seek help ... Now, this good man to turn the lights off the car, but not moved from the path, leave it exactly where the car stopped ... For this reason, a car traveling at night you can not see and crashes, dying its driver instantly.
When he joined the company to a holding report, is one of the owners. Although much older than he begin to hang out and engage in a relationship with the seal of the forbidden (she had enviudecido days ago).
background, the issue of identity : some know, others not ... and in the middle of the Oedipus.
The story ends as abruptly as it starts and we come up titles.

How I qualified? : Regular . Knowing what the topic, I do not mind so much the what but how, because the topic is interesting, broad and facilities at the time of "impact effect" . Is that why I was disappointed the film: not succeeded in conveying the intensity of emotions and stayed in the slow exposure of static images.
From my point of view, was not successful the storytelling. All too cliché, very conceptual style now ... And one can say "but how cliché can become something so abhorrent as the Oedipus?" . No looking in the plot, I say again, but the peronajes , the constitution of scenarios, the dialogues, the music ... Let's see if I'm clear: girls retro in a cool, dark, sophisticated classical music and men coming out of Soho London and saw several well ... And it added that at times the plot seemed forced her ; development times were accelerated and ended up being an information overload that neither the characters could assimilate.

positive side: Regenerate Greek tragedy of Sophocles and do well : follow the step by step and not lost. Besides, they do so based on a very cool theme still in Argentina, as is the appropriation of children in the last military dictatorship. The interplay goes well, Oliveira Cezar is not lost when crossing stories, the problem is that at times seems I did not know how to do it and ended closing force.

Day 2: Sunday 11/04.
Destination: Hoyts Abasto. Transportation
: 60
Movie: "Cold Sea" of Paz Fabrega, Costa Rica / France 2009.


Another movie that attracted me from the abstract (what is not?): "A girl and a woman share the same indifference from their surroundings in a resort where he is the company that abounds" . Something like that is not literal words. Now I tell them clearly what question.

The film tells the somewhat story of two women: a girl of 7 years (Karina) and a girl of 21 (Mariana - Lil Quesada Murúa ) to get married. One day, their lives intersect , when Mariana is sleeping through the grasslands to Karina. The short conversation with him Mariana generates suspicion that the baby is sexually abused by a relative. Faced with this situation, seeking to protect and immediately think with her boyfriend how to make reporting abuse. They spend the night sleeping in the car and when you wake up the next day, she was gone.
Since that time, the floods a Mariana deep anguish and starts putting "regressive" . Between somatization and melancholy , Mariana spends his summer days, locked in a hotel without tourists, away from the beach with a boyfriend who was going to work all day.
Meanwhile, Fabregas has a bit how is the family that lives Karina. A father who cares very much (and left open whether or not abuse it or if it is a fantasy of the baby), many brothers who accuse her of having privileges, door girls, a mother who writes when not . ... All this mix, living in a few shops and mobile home in Ballena Bay National Park .

The focus of the film, and what specifically you want to convey Fabrega, is the state of indifference and helplessness which is on display as Karina Mariana. Because everything happens in a few days, and its environment hardly take notice of some events (which, incidentally, the caracatula as "minor" ). Leakage, shock, suicide attempts ... and everything remains as before. If I had to give it a title, it would probably be "Life and work of two forgotten" .

How I qualified? Good . I must admit that the pace is leading slow and sometimes you do not know where noted. But leaves the door open almost all interpretations and that makes interactive , therefore, reinterpreted . As I pointed out the lic. Bosch, has a touch of "The Swamp" Lucrecia Martel of : it seems that everything is very routine , but at the everyday round the tragedy ... and sometimes it takes only a movement to occur and unbalanced the daily grind.

The negative: There were parts where it appeared a Yankee character, coming to make an investment in Bahia Ballena. The Yankee spoke English, of course, but there was subtitles to translate what this guy said. The film has to be affordable for everyone, because surely they did not know the English were left out of these dialogues (which were not decisive, but remained part of the plot).

Day 3: Friday 16/04.
Destination: Movies May 25, Villa Urquiza.
Transportation: Train, subway-ft.
Soundtrack: mp3! Movie
: "La robe du soir" , Myryam Aziza, France 2009.


This movie does not have a reason. The thing is I played my schedule to go see it and well, nothing ventured nothing gained. Again, the advertised as BAFICI "classroom events through the eyes of a girl of 12 years beginning to consider the lives of otherwise" (recurrence of the "many words, less").
"La robe du soir" is a film that combines several factors very interesting, and above all to highlight the success the director to tell the story, because that was good sense of the characters real people.
The movie tells the story of Juliette (Bellugi Kraghede Alba Gaia), a 12 year old girl begins to pierce the first periods of adolescence, with all that that implies. In that journey, he meets his desire to be more and girl's body, with jealousy among boys, with their literature teacher , Hélène Solenka ( Lio), who becomes his obsession. Juliette, age 12, began his adolescence as an emotional storm : persecution, jealousy, attempted suicide. Aziza says step by step cognitive-emotional maladjustment behavioral of a girl who literally do not know what to do with his life. But his intention, I think, not tell that particular time of the girl, but look general parameters of girls facing vital passage that great of a girl to a young woman.
At the same time, the director tells an institutional situation from both side of the school, and from single-parent family that includes Juliette.

"Since I qualified? Good . As mentioned above, is well posed , without falling into the obvious or commonplace. At times, it seems too long and there are parts that could have been edited, but nonetheless is a interesting movie.




And it will be until 2011.

I remember when this film premiered. Bah, at least what I remember is the promotional poster . Call it hypnosis, cautivación spontaneous or intrigue, the thing is that it was automatic: "I want to see Amélie" . So today I will talk about "Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain" , better known in this part of the planet as "Amélie" simply.

do not know if they know, but every time I write something on the blog, I often do a little work "research" (and the term is too big for me) to review other views, opinions and data which can accompany the theme. But, I usually read them after I finished writing Why? To not feel tempted to use foreign words or completing my review based on one previously said. With "Amélie" not only proceeded in the same way, but I must say that I saw just now, nine years after it was released in theaters. In other words, completely unaware film criticism, demases public and when to see it (though I must say I was always outside when empezanban conversaicones "ah, it's like Amélie .. see it?" ). I add something I did not know what it was. Already, there are times when I prefer not to see the progress of a film, but in this particular case helped me to understand the characters outside of the established concepts. So I approached "Amelie" ... and here are the results.


"Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain" is a French film, released in 2001 and directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet . The absolute protagonist (and, from now on, star French) is the adorable Audrey Tatou and his partner is male Mathieu Kassovitz. The film revels counting networks established between the characters in the life of Amélie, so there is a significant number of actors in the film. A history!

The film begins with a voiceover that obsessively detailed account features characteristic essential character Amélie's life, beginning with their parents. Father army doctor, retired, devotes his life to order; undemonstrative with his daughter. Mother teacher; nerve-wracking, obsessed with cleanliness. Amélie Poulain, daughter of Raphael and Amanda; need of parental affection, his heart throbbed whenever he was coming ... and that only happened when I was a medical checkup. Result: "the girl has a heart" . Amélie will not school and stays home to study with the hysterical mother. The girl has no friends, so he invents . His only friend is not imaginary was a fish with suicidal ideation, that the mother ends up throwing the river to avoid the nerves that caused the constant attempts to autorun this little fish. In short: Amélie was removed from the community, reatraída on itself and surrounded by a little warm environment. And if it lacked some seasoning, it had to be the tragic component: the mother dies crushed by a Canadian tourist who commits suicide by jumping from the top of the church of Notre Dame. The child grows (with all this that I just named) in a house inhabited by a father who not recorded and that all they do is decorate the altar of his dead wife ... Still, Amélie Poulain, in this fiction as "free of evils" , Comes to life as any neighbor's daughter .... but with a little more imagination others. She decides to stand in his world of dreams until you can go from there. And it does at age 22, when he goes to live alone to Montemartre. Let us quote from the movie, which states that Amélie has taken a liking for small everyday pleasures, to be put on display throughout the film.

Advancement the part where the voiceover speaks of the coffee co-workers where he makes as a waitress, and customers who live there. Step to the narrative account as a key moment : Amélie found by chance (after an incident while brushing his teeth and learns of the death of Lady Di) a hidden box between the tiles containing the treasures of a child of the 50s. Here begins what is perhaps the first action of a long chain of small favors that Poulain done to make happier subjects around it.

Thus, resolves cases in a very peculiar, often resorting to the anonymous and innocent game. Until one day touch the doors of consciousness desire: what did she do for herself? De Thus, begins to focus on what we disclose: his love for the mysterious man in the photos , Quincampoix Nino (Kassovitz).

This is basically the plot of the movie. The nearly two hours that are devoted to telling how every time he intervenes Amélie change the course of things . Reunions, loving unions, demystification, travel and regrets in the lives of several players who will be changed from that time onwards.

To me, what I call the attention of the movie is the character itself because arising from an unwelcoming environment , all against him and in the altruism their way of life. In other words, a person who is outside of any help, turns out to be agents of change in those around her. But suddenly I am amazed that your situation has a 180 degree turn to reconnect with themselves, with the girl you need, expect and get help.
The film, seen from the voice that tells you probably also telling the story of Amélie all ... and all those who let pass opportunities, or would an d back to their wishes and live their lives as mere spectators.
In this world of possibilities, we are all Amélie so nothing better than to play with fate and dare to push the limits of our own wall.


Audrey Tautou embodies this character endearing, lovable and easily provides equal installments of goodness and simplicity, with a few drops of mischief. What about the cast that accompanies it ... they are French, nothing I say will be misunderstood or criticized, have the advantage of a beautiful language and a landscape that is a dream. To this I add the images of the film (which should have been done with some sort of yellow filter ... do not know the technical terms) and the quality of the picture.

Finally, a pop gem, with Norman spirit and a touch of je ne sais quoi . For me, it's a 4 Clare . To make matters worse, the soundtrack was made by Yann Tiersen French, what more could you want?

this year released the long awaited version of Tim Burton about the magical story of Lewis Carroll , "Alice in Wonderland" .
The film is starring Mia Wasikowska as Alice, Johnny Depp as "the hatter" Helena Bonham Carter as "Red Queen" and Anne Hathaway as "the white queen." It was released for the 3D version , since it has many special effects and animations. As British product, the film appears spoken with that accent, still taking U.S. players, as Depp and Hathaway.

In the history there is not much to tell, because it is absolutely based on the children's classic created by Lewis Carroll (both "Alice in Wonderland" as "Through the Looking Glass ). I remember when I bought the first book, I read the dedication of the first pages, and that Carroll noted that the story he had written for the daughter of a colleague. Had created a whole fantasy world for the child is not bored with history. This little girl was the daughter of the dean of Oxford, Alice Liddell.
Before beginning the story, I show how you start the original book:

Riding the golden afternoon
leads, idle, water
they are tiny little arms
who take to the oars
pretending in vain with his little hands nuestor
guide wandering course.

Ah! How cruel three!
Regardless of the balm of
that day or the dream of the hour
Require a story of a breathless voice
neither a pen can blow!
But what could a voice so weak
against the obstinacy of those three?

Prima, imperious, thunders his edict:
"starts the story!"
Secunda, with a friendly tone, you want
"not stupid"
While Tertia interrupts the tale
no more than once per minute. Tax

at last silence
imagination takes them in
toward that dream girl
a strange new world of wonders
where birds and beasts
regain speech and almost believe really be there!

And every time that bastard tried,
exhausted and the power of his invention,
narrative defer until the next day:
"The rest will be for next time ..."
"It's the next time!" Chorused the three.

This was an emerging Wonderland
slowly, and one
a chasing of their strange peripicias ...
And now that the story touches your order,
also the helm guiding us back home;
merry crew, under the setting sun.

Alicia! Get this children's story and put it
with friendly hand
where lie the dreams of children
garland intertwined in mystical
Memory as flowers wilted and
offering a pilgrim
than those in a distant land.

Well, now, to the film. The film tells the story of Alice Kingsleigh , a 19 year old living haunted by strange dreams since I was little. In what was supposed to be their engagement party, Alice thinks he sees a rabbit dodging of the bushes. But not just any rabbit, this is one she remembers seeing in his dreams. At the time her lover asks her hand, Alicia runs away in search of rabbit and ends falling into a hole at the base of a tree. That begins to fall as it did in those childhood dreams.


Indeed, Alicia was already Underland. After a series of events common at all (such as increasing and decreasing body size with the only food intake), enters the land of wonders, a place that sounds very familiar . It does not take long to realize that it is the same context which developed all its productions dream since I was five years. Although she still maintains that it was a dream that there was no only in his head. It will take half the film and a few beats to realize that there Underland it was a really peculiar , but reality nonetheless.


Meanwhile, local people celebrated his arrival because they were looking for a long time. Alicia accused a mistake , it was not what they were looking for and decide .... "go? there. The small problem is not sure how, because even thought she was asleep , there was no way to wake up ... even with the terrible blow that led to the Bandersnatch . Apparently, not everyone was happy with his presence and the court of the Red Queen and his main henchman ( Ilosovic Stayne ) looking for to give the preferred order of the monarch: "off with her head!" . For this reason, Alicia begins to flee , not knowing where or why. All I knew is that was written on the oracle that she, in "day Frabuloso" , kill the Jabberwocky and peace reign in Underland . Totally denied that happen.


This winding road and uncertain, Alice meets characters like the Cheshire Cat, the Hatter, the Dormouse, the March Hare, the caterpillar demases blue. It only takes a decision: go in search of Sombrero who was arrested while trying to protect. So the court comes to the Red Queen , a dwarf stubborn and bossy, which resolved all the dilemmas with a simple execution order : "Off With Their Heads" . The queen does not recognize this little girl whom he had visited Alicia the kingdom 14 years ago, and invited to sit beside his throne. Arrested Hatter arrives and offers to work for the queen. Alice takes the opportunity to go talk to him and in this talk she discovers that this definitely was not a dream more ... At most, those dreams were based on actual memories of this land of dreams, Underland. That's why he decided to fulfill the plan the oracle had planned for her. Retrieves the Vorpal sword goes in search of the White Queen.


What follows is history. If you like this story as me, they'll enjoy . If you are Burton fans who want to marvel at his other production, not know if they will like much. If you expect a great movie for everyone , definitely not going to attract .
From me, big fan of Alice in Wonderland, I give Clare 3. I love of film photography and the performances of Bonham Carter and Wasikowska.

The white pearl : costumes, especially that of Alice.
The Black Pearl: the promotional song of Avril Lavigne and walking of the White Queen.

A trailer:

Unfortunately, the links are not entitled to share, so I'm posting a link to be seen on YouTube: Alice in wonderland trailer



PD: Definitely, Depp and Bonham Carter are more than a fetish for Burton. With the benefit of everything it touches Helena becomes a great piece of action .. and Johnny everything he touches becomes gold.
