If it counts for something I really liked the visual themes and transitions Alejandro used.<br />I will write something about that soon, if the movie had been faithful to what it got well it could've been great!Notas Sobre Creación Cultural e Imaginarios Socialeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423835555933819338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760596761162985469.post-81833792139155073242010-05-21T12:50:22.520-06:002010-05-21T12:50:22.520-06:00I wonder if you were influenced by expectation the...I wonder if you were influenced by expectation then...I knew nothing of it (litte about Hypatia even) and I was just surprised...I'll rewatch it whenever comes out on DVD to see if I still love it as much. But for the while it's my favourite of the year, and it looks like it'll be that way for a while.<br /><br />PS. Fish Tank was something interesting, I don't know how I'm going to review that. I've been sitting on it for two weeks now, as is.Andrew K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01104647944747041277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760596761162985469.post-32453709454939838102010-05-21T10:52:16.046-06:002010-05-21T10:52:16.046-06:00Great review, if only I had interest in such biopi...Great review, if only I had interest in such biopics.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085105568601878075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760596761162985469.post-77976947852465863622010-05-21T10:27:14.919-06:002010-05-21T10:27:14.919-06:00Hahaha honestly yes, you pushed me into writing th...Hahaha honestly yes, you pushed me into writing this.<br />Also I don't mind the movie's treatment of the Christians exclusively. I don't give a damn about the Christians (that does not sound right I know), my problem is that Amenábar has said time and time again that this movie was meant to show us the irrational nature of intolerance and how what happened back there still happens now.<br />However his vilification of the Christians (I repeat I have nothing for or against them) can be compared to what Mel Gibson did to the Jews in that awful Jesus porn movie.<br />My point is that he can't preach about tolerance when it's clear he's made up his mind about what team he's on. The movie would've been better if he had decided it'd be a full out critique of Christianity. Heck, I'd even have enjoyed that probably.Notas Sobre Creación Cultural e Imaginarios Socialeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423835555933819338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760596761162985469.post-78036564819420888682010-05-21T09:51:19.923-06:002010-05-21T09:51:19.923-06:00Aaah, I feel important forced you into a review (e...Aaah, I feel important forced you into a review (even though it serves me right that you don't like it). I'm not sure if I'm "surprised" that you don't like it, I mean I guess the Christians are shown in a negative light...but they're also shown positively (the scene with the bread sharing is quite poignant). But I really liked it, good review nonetheless.Andrew K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01104647944747041277noreply@blogger.com
