Likelihood Of Another World War

The Pope's Toilet "The Perfect Bagay


If I and a band without writing, by personal problems, mixed with drugs of all kinds (cocaine base, heroin, bits of banana peel injected intravenously, etc.) . But I went to see a movie. Yes ladies and gentlemen, I went to a movie, long ago, but I saw it. Who knows? Surely no one, because not one of those movies commercial. It's called "The violin " and is a Mexican film. His shooting took about 5 years, and is made in black and white, funded by different institutions stack, which speaks of the great efforts made towards its maker. That
this movie? It is a very simple film where he talks about in if the history, images, stills ... It is a family of 3, grandfather, father and son, which is dedicated to music, are "singers" as the saying goes. Are people persecuted by the dictatorship, Zapatista revolutionaries, and the child's mother is in another place that would seem inaccessible to them because they are not allowed to reach given their political views.
The thing is that the grandfather is a completely harmless. Taking advantage of that, decided to go for the mother of his grandson, leaving his grandson with his father, given the risks that could run. As known, l milicos you grab him and take him. He went with his violin, but it was suspected that he might bear arms. When the soldier sees that he has a master violin, asks him to touch. He was fascinated with your music, and let it go, on condition that stay with her violin, so that every day outside playing. And well, maybe you could get there to extract some information for l ucha Zapatista against the dictatorship ...
As I said, is a very simple movie, but its simplicity is what makes it totally attractive. First of all, the fact that this completely filmed in black and white is an excellent thing. It gives that extra, not that I like very much. And I hope you will do the same. I think if it had been shot in color would lose that touch of ambience.
The performances, especially those of the child and grandfather are totally memorable. Both the child and the grandfather have a tenderness that makes you enter the character first. Grandpa's face and half good old clumsy, that reminds me of "John Doe" (name I remember from the memorable scene where dedir not want his real name, which I do not remember) the film " minimum Stories." The child also has the innocent face, that child reminds me of the Iranian film "Children of Heaven ." These last two films I mentioned, if you have a video in hand, completely miss.
There is a scene that is really exciting, to tears, and another scene that makes you warm in a way that makes you want to grab the screen for more stones you know it's fiction. Which is exciting, is the scene where the boy asks his grandfather why they are at war, and that life is so unfair to them. The explanation of the grandfather, so that the child understands, is a very good summary of life which moved to tears (not to cry, but I felt strong to mourn those tin dish).
The other, which makes you warm, is when the grandfather, along with the child, going to the master's house. There he tells her the situation, they want to go for the mother, and that requires a mule, to see if the could provide, and I had many years of uninterrupted service, which says "you sell it You know how is business ... "You see the guy has terrible stay, full of animals, and it comes to selling a mule? a person of trust, which offered him his entire life working for for a few pesos?. But do not stop there, make you sign a blank piece of paper saying he would fill then, it was that or nothing, to which he accepts.
In conclusion, a great movie. The best I've seen in the year so far. Until recently was available only in the room I saw her, Hoyts Literate. Even this I hope. If you do not have to do, go see it, it really will not be disappointed. And if not, there is always the black market, lol. Vamo
above, there are more crap! Give him a chance to fuck an independent film!
