Best movie I've seen so far, 29 January 2006

Author:

This is a movie worth paying for, not only does it take a 180� turn
just when you had it figured out but it's also suspenseful.
Just yesterday I saw this movie and came out of the cinema with a
feeling of satisfaction, that I spent my money well. Beautiful scenes,
amazing music that will make you have goosebumps all over and a
wonderful plot that really gets you thinking instead of laying it all
in front of you.
This movie is a promise for all the future Latin American films and a
great achievement for Stan Jakubowicz. As for the actors, there's a
different feeling to them than towards Hollywood actors, they feel
real, like if they are really going through it all (no offense to
Hollywood actors) and this is because they are fresh faces never seen
before for most people.
I've never felt so into the story as I did with this movie, you can
actually feel their pain and get nervous when they are about to confess
something. SImply pure and their emotions are palpable.
For this movie I rate it 10/10 because it's really worth seeing.
Predictable, 30 January 2006

A few days ago, I went to the theater to watch this movie that somehow
got my attention.
This movies focuses on the story of Zoe (Mori). A woman whose marriage
is in constant conflict. Her husband Ignacio (Meier) inheritor of the
family business, and Gonzalo (Cardona) Ingnacio's younger brother who
gives his life to painting, but makes a living thanks to his brother
and strangely always shows hatred towards him. With all these
background, it isn't hard to presume where the story is leading to.
As the story goes on, more background details explains why every
character acts the way they do, and how a triangle of betrayal and
disloyalties is taking part in the plot.
Acting: I think Cardona (Gonzalo) though not outstanding, is the only
one who achieves a little touch of truthfulness to his character,
showing himself as someone careless and incapable of commitment. Meier
(Ignacio), He got his moments of clarity, but not enough to convince
with his character. Mori (Zoe), I must say that it's the first time I
see her acting, and to be honest, I think that she never managed Zoe,
being absolutely lacking of the emotiveness required by her character.
It's supposed that Zoe is a woman full of inner conflicts as a result
of the relationship with her husband. Though, she never get to make the
audience feel any empathy. I should say that being a beautiful woman is
never enough.
Plot: It always kept predictable, that's why I expected any surprise
near the end, but it never happened. Sometimes it might bores you or
find that something doesn't fit.
Directing: Not outstanding, it has some highlights. For instance, the
manage of close-up within conversations between character, where you
can see that everything blurs but the faces.
Soundtrack: Apparently doesn't have one, you just can hear the song
"Mentiras" from the Chilean band "La Ley"
In summary, I wouldn't recommend it. But if you want to give it a try,
do it at your own risk.
the movie is not Mexican, it is Peruvian, 23 January 2006

Great adaptation from the book. Very good acting and the story flows
smoothly. The director does an excellent job providing the viewer with
all the subtle meanings of every situation, through the main characters
emotions with a good balance of reality, sensitivity for what's going
on and good sense of humor. By the way, the movie is not Mexican, it is
Peruvian. Christian Meier, the Director and the author of the book are
all from Peru. Their use of Mexican accent and slang is very
impressive, I guess they needed to do this in order to make the movie
more commercially attractive to other markets and that is probably why
so many people think that it is a Mexican film. Give Ceasar what
belongs to Ceasar It will be great if someday Peru is recognized for
its film industry.
