Fotos De Men Con Animales








(Today, after some years, has resumed the activities of cineclub The eye in the lock , now under new (s) head (s) in front . The film that has served as a starting point has been Be kind, rewind , and invited me to share my views on the film. Be kind rewind saw her at the time and me caused mixed feelings, as often provoke what he has done everything Michel Gondry. Anyway I wrote something about it. As follows:)



If we concern ourselves with our prejudices might decirque Be Kind, Rewind (EU, 2008, I prefer to call it instead of the horrible title that sold in our country) has, for a server, two things against: The presence of Jack Black and the signing of videoclipero French filmmaker Michel Gondry got. Regarding the former, it is difficult to step back to our preconceptions: here as in any movie that keeps showing appears confusing knowing how to behave to get the joke. There will be those who find it funny, but this is topic for another discussion.

On the second, Michel Gondry, say you do, prejudice the movie and a priori disqualify - would run the great risk of losing perhaps the first success he has had this young director in the strictly cinematic I say strictly because of the video field is another ticket.

that Gondry has not abandoned its identity to a personal opinion so irritated. That is, their sensitivity impostada naive, her look childish and quasi-corny, his obsessive penchant for artifice, stuffed and papier-mâché to create one, impostada also highly personal aesthetic remain, but now as ever in this film, say that things will work. Even like, it's funny, touching. Reason

unarmed have to fall before the game as spectators, and playfulness, which invites us Gondry: the movies. Because Gondry in this case appeals to our complicity, our love for the cinema and practice that, obviously, he has,: cinephilia. To speak soon: Be Kind Rewind is a film about film, about nostalgia for a bygone way of seeing the film and possible, this wonderful way of appropriating it.

The premise is crazy but the proposal. And I think for this case, this text is more important to ignore the premise and make it clear what Gondry propose: For director, and we totally agree, the movie is and should be-and remain-a point of meeting, interaction and coexistence, reconciliation. The most attractive: for Gondry's great that the film would be a collective process of creation while creating unique and should be our main weapon in any of the battles as a group or community that is before us. This well, may sound laconic, dry, but Gondry again sacándole their aesthetic appreciation decorated stuffed its papier-mâché scenery and effects of craftsman who is believed heir of George Méliès know how to convince us that it is possible.

Despite an ending that verges on the maudlin more indigestible, Be kind, rewind is thus a tribute to the cinema, but is also a bet that the film is of one who enjoys it.
