Once more, a dare fulfilled!<br />
<br />
In this sort of second instalment on OMAD, I had in mind a new dare, to watch a movie per day during the time I'd be on a wheels' chair because of a broken knee. It was the best idea, I must say. Everyday, a bit discouraged for spending so much idle time at home thinking about how the heck I had the terrible idea of changing that light bulb, I had a reason to make a coffee, seat at the table on my surprisingly comfy new chair, and write my thoughts about a movie. I had a motive to get out of bed, to get out of a impending lethargy, and do what I love in this life: whatching movies and talking/writing about them. It was a good idea, I think. I hadn't noticed, before that, how I've missed OMAD. And I'll cherish this extra time with the blog for sure.<br />
<br />
So it came the time I could walk again and, as established from the beginning, it marked the end of the addendum to OMAD. Despite a not so smooth return to the track (I'm on wheels again), I don't intend to continue the dare. I'm sure I'll be back on my feet permanently soon, and not just for a few (happy) days! So, here come some last words on a wonderful time with my dear blog, the movies that are part of it and the friends that give a meaning to it.<br />

And it ended with Alfred Hitchcock and his <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/04/end-of-addendum-rear-window-april-27.html">Rear Window</a></i>, a piece that I just adore and had watched so many times before, but that I haven't seen for a while. By the way, this movie about a photographer who, stuck to a whells' chair, unveils a murder, was the fifth production by Hitchcock in the addendum - the most frequent filmmaker in the history of OMAD.<br />

Other frequent attendance, as to say, were some good surprises. Taika Waititi, who I first met with the amazing <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/03/23-days-to-go-hunt-for-wilderpeople.html">Hunt for The Wilderpeople</a></i>, has his four feature film in here. Nicolas Refn Winding, who I love since <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780504/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">Drive</a></i>, gave us three of his outstanding movies, and it is difficult to say which was my favorite, each one incredibly special in its own way. Jeff Nichols and Charlie McDowell I haven't met before, and were both good surprises, specially because of <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/04/midnight-special-april-13.html">Midnight Special</a></i> and <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/04/the-discovery-april-18.html">The Discovery </a></i>respectively. Abbas Kiarostami I admired before, admiration that increased with his two movies in this dare, <i>T<a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/03/11-days-to-go-taste-of-cherry-march-28.html">aste of Cherry</a></i> and <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/03/13-days-to-go-wind-will-carry-us-march.html">The Wind will Carry Us</a></i>, both truly remarkable.<br />
<br />
It was interesting the way I kept fixed on some filmmakers, watching many of their productions on a roll, something I 'm not used to do. This time, however, I saw myself rooked to some genres and the production of some filmmakers, what lead me to stay with them longer than I had thought at first.<br />

Among these 50 films, seven I'd already seen before, all of them worthy revisiting: <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/03/28-days-to-go-labyrinth-march-11.html">Labyrinth</a></i>, <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/03/16-days-to-go-rebecca-march-23.html">Rebecca</a></i>, <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/04/7-days-to-go-arrival-april-1.html">Arrival</a></i>, <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/04/dial-m-for-murder-april-9.html">Dial M for Murder</a></i>, <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/04/take-care-april-17.html">Take Care,</a></i> <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/04/commited-april-25.html">Committed</a></i>, <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/04/end-of-addendum-rear-window-april-27.html">Rear Window</a></i>. <i>Arrival</i>, btw, I'll see for many, many times.<br />
<br />
The most grateful surprise in this second-chance-dare, maybe, was <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/04/the-station-agent-april-23.html">The Station Agent</a></i> and its endearing, sweet take on people, loneliness, life, loss, true connection. Other movies as <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/03/25-days-to-go-fall-march-14.html">The Fall</a></i>, <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/search?q=julieta">Julieta</a></i>, <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/search?q=interiors">Interiors</a></i>, <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/04/demolition-april-15.html">Demolition </a></i>and, in a smaller note, <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/04/8-days-to-go-fundamentals-of-caring.html">The fundamentals of Caring</a></i> were really, truly special too. However, it is with <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/04/8-days-to-go-fundamentals-of-caring.html">The Station Agent</a></i> that a smile comes to my face, always. Both Kiarostami productions stay in a separated category, the one for out of this world films (maybe <i>Interiors </i>is also a member of this club).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The biggest punch on the face? <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/04/elle-april7.html">Elle</a></i>, for sure, even among Refn's <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/04/4-days-to-go-neon-demon-april-3.html">The Neon Demon</a></i> and <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/03/24-days-to-go-onlly-god-forgives-march.html">Only God Forgives</a></i>. Paul Verhoeven is not kidding in service, and this is a must-see for sure. I was amazed and unsettled by it, as only great movies are capable of.<br />
<br />
Again, as before, I'm truly grateful for the idea of this blog, which gave and gives purpose, meaning, joy to what would be mostly an empty day. I'll try to be equally dedicated to my other daring blog, being aware, however, of how I'm still too attached to this one.<br />
<br />
To end things in the traditional (!) way, here's two movies to talk about on this last post.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhpf9qcAW5THKjIIVKrcUG2LSXpkcy_s3v1OnXyzMTsQv4KSutz0ftXX2UH7DjYC34Hy5JKUP1O4haoF_FFB-GZE1MU6Wmu9XNjIZDWgD3PL-oXWhVArKG51Q1D8tBfPyNVHF2nUYQw7Y/s1600/notting.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhpf9qcAW5THKjIIVKrcUG2LSXpkcy_s3v1OnXyzMTsQv4KSutz0ftXX2UH7DjYC34Hy5JKUP1O4haoF_FFB-GZE1MU6Wmu9XNjIZDWgD3PL-oXWhVArKG51Q1D8tBfPyNVHF2nUYQw7Y/s320/notting.jpg" width="214" /></a></div>
Without any specific purpose, now I'm allowing myself to channel surfing. Ramdomly, I found <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0125439/?ref_=nv_sr_1">Notting Hill</a></i> just starting, and, as usual, I wasn't able to stop watching it. This movie is so good, Richard Curtis is a master in the craft of captivating, funny, ironic romantic coms. Secondary characters are so fundamental to the story as the main couple, and they're great. The <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce_BXD_ONQ8">"Ain't no sunshine</a></i>" sequence is one of my favorites in life. When I saw this movie for the first time, I was so heartbroken. The last scene, the plain intimacy and casualness of it, almost led me to tears. Now, I just smile, recognizing something that was never meant to be.<br />
<br />
I was very happy to revisit it, as I was the next day, again looking for a movie without purpose, only to find...<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4gpANRkKPnC_jOSCWdvR_XueEd4O1J-IAlMJa_bvq0Vg_mF4EkR31-lSm7JHzmHlaYjJZdqp7yEyJXdc54elBxYJMYT2pJ-O0foIqULeVkk-GMtQkDDnzjCz03shicoqrnkwQN4pKM48/s1600/knights.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4gpANRkKPnC_jOSCWdvR_XueEd4O1J-IAlMJa_bvq0Vg_mF4EkR31-lSm7JHzmHlaYjJZdqp7yEyJXdc54elBxYJMYT2pJ-O0foIqULeVkk-GMtQkDDnzjCz03shicoqrnkwQN4pKM48/s320/knights.jpg" width="217" /></a>...Another movie that I cannot turn off: <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0183790/?ref_=nv_sr_1">A Knight's Tale.</a></i> I'm always too happy for my own sake when I have the chance to see it. The pop culture references (Foxy lady!), the characters, seeing Paul Bethany for the first time, falling in love with Heath Ledger, James Purefoy saying "take a knee"... Alan Tudyk is so hysterically good here as in <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0795368/?ref_=nv_sr_1">Death at a Funeral.</a></i> Ruffus Sewel is a villain here :( The cast, by the way, it is a important feature to highlight, it is just perfection, as the characters they give us in an interesting interpretation of the Middle Ages.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think this film was a sort of an oracle, showing us how popular the Medieval period was turning out to be. The anachronisms in the movie refer to that. It also is a way to go against, I think, the idea of a dark age associated to this time - the Golden Years' rendition (amazing) is an evidence of that idea, and another one of my favorite sequences.<br />
<br />
<i>A Knight's Tale</i> is such a happy journey. I caught myself repeating the lines along with the characters, laughing at (and with) them as if it was the first time. There will be many others, for sure. I suggest the extras on the DVD, specially the commented version - it is a great fun, as the movie itself.<br />

That's all, folks. We stop this addendum with the statistics pointing a total of more then 83.100 views, a number that has increasing every month. I'm not sure about this number. However, if only you, right there, are reading this, I'm truly grateful. If you are not, still I'm amazed by this dare anyway, thanking harder days that gave me the idea of sharing my life more closely with movies, an act that has been giving sense to my days and way of living for a long, long time. .<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The day I was waiting for since the moment I fell from the stairs and saw my knee separating in two halves has arrived! Sure, I was expecting it would come a<a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/04/2-days-to-oooops-wait-minute-mental.html"> few weeks early</a>. And that's the beauty of lack of expectations: I thought I had some more weeks on the wheel's chair, but the doctor quietly looked at me and asked me why I was still seated there. "Let's get up and walk". He gave me his hands, I got up and gave my clumsy first steps after almost 70 days.</div>

For nothing in the world I would end it in a low tone as <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/04/les-secrets-des-banquises-april-26.html">Arctic Love</a></i> though. This way, I decided to follow my friend's Audrey suggestion and watch <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047396/?ref_=nv_sr_1">Rear Window</a></i>, a movie that I simply love.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've seen it many times, always amazed by how written and scened it is. The set is great, in all the Hitchock's care with details while creating life - and how great it is here. Each character, in its small flat, is a part of living we recognize. The pace looks so easy here, but it is the work of a genius. We are voyeurs, Hitchock's telling us. It doesn't matter if we look through the window of an apartment or through the lens of a camera. We are Jefferies, only on the other side of the screen. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cast is one of my favorites. James Stewart I love always. Grace Kelly is so stunning here, and witty - her Lisa is a wonder. Thelma Ritter as Stella is such a strong presence. The trio is a perfect fit. It is hard to remember they're actors, and that what we're seeing on screen is a carefully constructed performance. Again, what seems so easy comes from hard and well planned work. It is difficult to remember we're not inside that appartment with those three amazing and mad people.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I specially love the dynamics between Lisa and Stella (Kelly and Ritter) - I told Audrey that we both would be like these two amazingly crazy ladies, running after clues to prove a murder in which, at first, neither of them believed. We're are that crazy, only we usually find ourselves running after stuff to create great parties, not clues to a murder :)</div>

There's so much about this movie. The<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047396/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv"> trivia </a>on imdb.com is full of gossip (:) and movie essons.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'll excuse myself here to be a bit rude. One thought that came to me during the whole film was: how Jefferies goes to the bathroom? His flat is smaller than mine, the cast on his leg goes to his waist... wait (I'll be even vulgar, sorry), where goes his junk? How he pees or... well. It really bothered me. Practical issues get more real during times of restricted movements.</div>

I hadn't see it for a long time, and it was special seeing it on this day, while ending this time without walking. I'm still trying, it is not so easy, a bit scary actually. I'm thunderously happy, though. And relieved. And amazed by how tall I am. Everytime I'm on my feet, the world seems very different. </div>

My gratitude goes to the opportunity of taking more time with OMAD. I'll talk more about it in a next post, to end this period with more detailed thoughts (<a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2016/03/day-zero-about-endings-and-new.html">as I've done before</a>). However, I must say here that I just love this blog. I'm trying to establish a new dare, but I'm having a hard time detaching myself from this one. This way, I don't want to repeat the circumstances, but I'm in a way not only grateful, but happy to spending more time here. </div>

I couldn't believe in such a cheesy nonsense. I turned off the TV, went to bed, and was then surrounded by many other thoughts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
French comedy is a really risky business. It is not for everyone, and not all of them are truly funny. Those who are successful on their endeavor, are memorable. The ones that attempt to fit the current American comedies, are weird and confusing, as this film.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have many ideas about the possible "messages" here (note: really good movies transcend the notion of an specific message, because they are so much bigger than that, similar to life). The shared love for science that unites a secluded scientist and a grad student intern. The idea of many academic geniuses that science is something apart from life, therefore they must isolate themselves in their researches and labs (this notion seems extreme, but she is an ordinary scenery, even if less of a caricature than Professeur Quignard). The perception that those people only are themselves when literally submerged in their subjects... I'm sure there's an ulterior message here connected to the penguins, I wasn't able to get it. Well, I think not one of that would be enough to justify such an weird endeavor. And I wanted so badly to like this movie.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love Antarctica, it is a dream destination for me (Iceland too... there's a fascination for the opposite icy pole here). And I love Guillaume Cannet since <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2015/10/day-211-last-night-october-6.html">Last Night</a></i>. In this movie, he has an odd similarity to<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0413573/?ref_=nv_sr_1"> McDreamy,</a> I kept mixing both - I was really sleepy. That was, btw, the reason I reached this movie (it was easy, short, looked a light entertainment), and it was not a happy choice. Even if I don't hate it, cheesy endings and all. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I should have payed more attention to the one star on the Netflix ratings.</div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">That's the idea of commitment for Joline, an endearing young woman that dedicates herself beautifully to everything she does and loves. Including her idiot of a husband, a guy that is to comfortable to throw on her all the blame of his mediocre mind and soul. It is such an ordinary trait in relationships, we risk not even be aware of it anymore. Joline knows what she has on her hands, but prefer to pretend she doesn't (another ordinary action on a relationship), and so she moves earth and sky to fulfill what she considers as her responsibility in <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0144142/?ref_=nv_sr_3">Committed </a></i>(2010).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 5.0cm; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 5.0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">I just love this movie. I saw it for the first time on TV in the early '2000s, and could connect to it immediately. Now that my heart and mind are far from that troubled days of trying to achieve the impossible regarding someone else, this movie still makes sense, from a more distant point of view. I love those characters, all of them really committed to life in different ways. It is not by chance they met each other, in the universe's odd and amazing ways of putting the right people together in fundamental times of life. They're crazy, weird, too much sometimes, lovely, attentive as only committed people are able to be.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 5.0cm; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">"You never know how your fate is gonna come back to you. It</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> could be something completely ridiculous, maybe that's the whole point. S</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">o stop asking whether deserves your fate or not, and do it for its own sake. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">I mean, who it's really for anyway, them or you?"</span></blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 5.0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 5.0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">I realized on this film how commitment has many different meanings in English. One of its meanings lead to the other, when the we take the bond too seriously, going beyond all reason. That's an important point in Committed. Those characters seem so nonsense, specially Joline, but she is admirable actually. Her heart is bigger than the whole world, but she is no fool. She tries to do what she thinks is right, taking big leaps of faith that sometimes throws her on the rock bottom. Other times her faith is rewarded in small or big doses. She is convinced then about her way of taking life. I can connect with that for sure. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">The cast here is peculiar. Heather Graham has an odd career, and I love many of her underrated movies, as Hope Springs and Committed. Luke Wilson, Casey Affleck are so young, specially the last one (almost a kid). Goran Visnijic I love in this movie, he's is incredibly weird (Where has he been, by the way?). Patricia Velasquez I hadn't met before, and she is so natural and endearing as Carmen. But the real surprise here is Mark Ruffalo in a mad role - I wasn't a fan at the time I saw this movie at first, and being one now I was amazed when I saw him so young in such a bizarre role. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">I was happy for reaching this movie again, something I was planning to do for a time now. I'll probably repeat the dose in a near future, after seeing how, despite its different meaning for me nowadays, this movie still makes a lot of sense, reminding me of the things I'm able to compromise and those of which I don't give up, for their role in defining who I am. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 5.0cm; text-align: justify;">

PS: My persistence with the many quotes from <i>Committed </i>in this post is a way to follow Joline's journey through her own beliefs: since the first, when she's still pretending her idiotic husband has some value, until the last, when she becomes aware of herself for her own sake (the journey of a whole life). In here, it is kind of random... I assure you it made more sense in the context of this lovely story.<br />

It was 9 pm, time for the movie of the day. After settling comfortably on the sofa, with my legs resting on the wheels' chair, a bag of pepper chips on my lap, I realized the jumble I've made. First, I had a hot chili snack and no soda. Second, the external HD with all my movies was on the table in the kitchen. Ok, it is a small flat, but for nothing in the world, not even a much needed soda, I would get up at that exact moment. As I didn't envision myself looking for a film in the lousy cable TV, my solely alternative was Netflix.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH4NJK5OFN4mJFgpXW1JnWOxgN91t-uOp3Wyt3MTYAHohWKpntLLmkJHukdA91mfmfQlRDZQbk38qaXRuZZZLU3rVRFM59DIUoC0_Dm12qukbsy9JtJLqgxzX2XAVs_COS_kjfc5rlRS0/s1600/amantes.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH4NJK5OFN4mJFgpXW1JnWOxgN91t-uOp3Wyt3MTYAHohWKpntLLmkJHukdA91mfmfQlRDZQbk38qaXRuZZZLU3rVRFM59DIUoC0_Dm12qukbsy9JtJLqgxzX2XAVs_COS_kjfc5rlRS0/s400/amantes.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I put on the first movie on the streaming service, <i>Our Lovers</i> (<i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4631532/?ref_=nv_sr_1">Nuestros Amantes</a></i>). The sinopsis was promising: a couple meet at a coffee shop-library... There was no need to read any more. Coffee shops in bookstores are one of my favorite places in the world (and so are cinemas and rock'n roll gigs and my home). Two people start a friendship and fall in love without knowing anything about each other. Well, or something like that. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The plot here is great, actually; the execution was the problem. With a screenplay excessively rational, it was difficult to fall in love with this love story. Probably because the flick was suported by the City of Aragón, Spain, there's too many touristy scenes - the place is stunning, for sure, but if someone as not picky as myself was aware of the excessive scenery takes, you can be assured that it was really too much. By the way, excessive is a good word to describe this movie, specially regarding all the talk about love in what intends to be insightful, but remains just in the surface of intellectual exaggeration. It is a thesis, not a movie.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Everything here also intends to be so cute, but it is a shallow sort of cuteness. The characters are messy, and it is wonderful, however they're so rational, intellectual, even while talking about their most painful feelings. This fault is due to the screen writers (sorry, folks), I think. Too much theory, not enough life. A script must breath life to make sense. Otherwise, it happens what I saw on the screen on this day: a great potential wasted by so many good intentions and points of view to be stated (and proved).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is not all bad though. The plot twist was surprising. The main couple is nice, we root for them. They're honest in their feelings, even if it is delivered in an overly rational wording. The coffee in the bookstore is beautiful, and the cognac scene is fun. The rest was a bit over the top, as I've said. A 91 min flick that took the length of an epic war movie. Or maybe I was too sleepy for my own good. OK, no, there's no such a thing. Other movies had already took me out of my numbness by being truly cute and endearing. The fault here is not in my star, I must say :)</div>

PS: My masterpiece of a friend, Pan, came to see me after work, as she has been doing since I fell from the stairs, to see if I was all right. She had to study Spanish for her class, and at the end we said goodbye in a goofy Spanish accent. I had no idea I would see a Spanish movie, and the result was that I wouldn't stop laughing at some words. That also shows how much the movie wasn't able to catch me for real. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh, look at all the lonely people. How amazing we are. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The characters here are such a gem, alluring, weird, lost, captivating. The smile on my face kept on going strongly the whole time, so amazed by how effortless Peter Dinklage, Patricia Clarkson, Bobby Cannavale (Joe is a wonder by himself) and the little Raven Goodwin make it looks. They're exquisite in their weirdness and solitude, you'll want to be part of their troupe. Michelle Williams makes a small cameo here, as another lost soul finding her kindred spirits. I was raising my hand, expectantly trying to ask if I could be walk with them.</div>

I don't care much for GoT (sorry), but as a whole I find him very attractive, really interesting. In here, he is really alluring, a lonely soul with whom I usually connect easily. His expressions say so much, it is a treat. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Again, I was astounded by how somethings have evolved. The reactions of a small (and big) town to a dwarf was so dreadful, I couldn't believe. It is not by chance Fin prefers to be absolutely alone.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some days ago, a close friend told me how a guy, in her neighborhood, looked at her carrying her old dog (the most beautiful creature in the whole world, the lovely Leka) and said: "What a waste, someone treating an animal as a kid". She is a very no-nonsense person, and immediately inquired if he was talking about her. Because, she said, my dog is old, sick, and is not able to walk in some places, as this one. The thing is, even if she'd treated her pet as a kid, it was her problem.He was being so overbearing in his judgment, it is something we see frequently. What it had to do with him anyway? </div>

Why are you not married? (I've heard that a lot on the after falling down the stairs, because I'd have asked my husband help for changing a bulb). Why do you like to sleep so early? (Not for me, for sure). Why this, why that... So many questions about stuff that matters to one actually. And they fall from people's mouth like a stream coming from nowhere. Judgment comes also from the lack of a careful look to the other. We usually seek conclusion before observation. I've read once a Jungian rendering of Eros and Psyche myth in which the author said that Psyche put a light on the face of Aphrodite's son in order to know who he really was. At the same time she had a knife on her back, however she used the light first. Acording to the writer, she used knowledge before force. It is so beautiful, a lesson we should carry close to the heart every second of our lives. We have our opinion, of course, but judgment is a very different thing, a perverse way of treating others (and, sometimes, even ourselves). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Take Shelte</i>r addresses this kind of careless way of living in a small community. However, being a non simplistic filmmaker, Nichols give us the wonderful other side, which is the extreme care and attentive love in a relationship that could be full of cliches. It is stunning, so amazing. Such a strong character, I was never expecting it. To show how much I know...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ending is big, I'll just tell you that. What is this movie? A slap on the face of easy conclusion. I loved it, and for sure I'll reach other Nichol's features and his much needed careful look to our surroundings while dealing to what seems from another world. </div>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZEFFFDq-45lWiWhvIpWXt21B06T_eOKvdwCGyCGHuPXXID3EzuKTwIRO29Lbe-8yLg7k7Remju6JH-A5VbKarpJ2b9dcfy0N6heoLYDbsrsEpU20V_kZc0Zlf3RhcvyfmPBA4g0Gi3dA/s1600/alien.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZEFFFDq-45lWiWhvIpWXt21B06T_eOKvdwCGyCGHuPXXID3EzuKTwIRO29Lbe-8yLg7k7Remju6JH-A5VbKarpJ2b9dcfy0N6heoLYDbsrsEpU20V_kZc0Zlf3RhcvyfmPBA4g0Gi3dA/s400/alien.jpg" width="266" /></a>It was a sure outcome watching <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078748/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">Alien </a></i>on this day. I'd saw it so long time ago, I couldn't resist to reach it again. It is the kind of movie that is already a part of the collective unconscious. It is an icon, even more than just a pop culture reference. Even if you've never seen any of the instalments in this big franchising, you'd know what one's talking about when referring to Alien's movies. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The franchising is bigger than I thought. Ridley Scott confirmed that it extends not only to the films with one of the Alien characters (as <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0370263/?ref_=nv_sr_1">Alien X Predator</a></i> - that I liked, to be true -, but also to <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/search?q=blade+runner">Blade Runner</a></i> - a big surprise for me). As a whole, there are 15 chapters, including the upcoming movies, which were responsible in part for my choice on this day. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not for nothing <i>Alien </i>is such an icon. Watching it today, I'd realize how many and many productions drank from the Alien movies. And it is so dark, dirty... An ugly and terrible future (here the connection to Blade Runner makes more sense) A space ship where people drink beer, smoke (the full ashtray at the opening scene call the attention of today's viewers), wears flashy Hawaiian shirts.. It seems so casual, but it is the stronger statement of a futuristic reality in which all the advanced technology that is so clean to us is actually a part of the daily life. Nostromo is a cargo ship, its crew is composed by one scientist (a surprise here), of course, but mainly by workers - space truckers. They're raucous, mercenary, loud... Their main interest is the financial gain. What they don't know is that they're collateral damage on bigger interests. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This way, the movie is still modern, despite all the idiosyncrasy with our own times (particularly about the technologies on the '70s). I started to see it on the afternoon, but had to stop, continuing when it was already dark. I was a little bummed by seeing it at night, because I thought it was too scary (I was with Life still in my nerves). It is not, though. My main thought during the whole movie was how good it is - idiosyncrasies allow a kind of distance that it is inevitable even if the movie is still catching.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm curious now to watch the others on the immediate Alien franchising. If you observe carefully, some of big filmmakers had a significant worldwide break with Alien's movies: Ridley Scott himself, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090605/?ref_=nv_sr_1">James Cameron</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103644/?ref_=nv_sr_4">David Fincher</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118583/?ref_=nv_sr_3">Jean-Pierre Jeunet</a>. I'm also looking forward to see the next movie on the franshising, <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2316204/?ref_=nv_sr_1">Alien;Convenant</a></i>, even after <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1446714/?ref_=nv_sr_1">Prometheus</a></i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There's no way to talk about Alien and without mentioning Sigourney Weaver. She was so young (as John Hurt, who went to the upstairs level on January, 25), and already an strong iconic (female) character. Sigourney and Ripley deserve their fame, representing the only smart person on that whole imbecile crew (I was talking about this in the <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/04/life-april-20.html">Life </a></i>post). She was and is amazing still, so relevant as Alien itself.</div>

I'm grateful for my lack of ambition in being a movie critic, because I would have blown up all my qualifications just with this post.<br />
<br />
However, the goal here is to expose my feelings about the experience with movies in the form of comments, for whom it may concern (I cannot imagine there would be someone beyond my closest friends, but the staggering numbers are maybe proving me wrong - or it is the blogger statistics fault).<br />
<br />
Well, the graphic reaction above was my thoughts at the last scene. While the final credits were rolling down, I looked at my niece Mari, who too kindly took me to the movies once again, and let out a loud: WTF. I doubt there's so many other ways of reacting to this movie.<br />
<br />
Mari was all <b style="text-indent: -18pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; text-indent: -18pt;">\,,/(*_*)\,,/</span><br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Is it any good? I think so. Too damn good, actually. Despite all the bad comments about it, the movie is spectacularly well executed, being worthy of its references - both the most obvious one and the small others. I'm crazy about <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1454468/?ref_=nv_sr_1">Gravity</a></i>, and was so pleased to see it represented here in many aspects. There's a scene in which I almost told Jake Gyllenhaal: oh, how George Clooney-y of you :)<br />
<br />
The biggest reference is clearly omnipresent. We know what is about to happen in that space ship just because of it. We've seen it before, but in a different manner. And it is the way of doing something we already know with competency and brilliant skill the greatest achievement of this Sci-Fi Horror Thriller (to refer to all the genres appointed by imdb.com :). The kind of tension we were submitted to during the whole duration of this film is something just a few productions can achieve. The camera movements create such an atmosphere, when we see, we're catch by what is happening in desbelief - the same we can identify on the characters' face. It is Sci-fi, an alien movie, and everything is so real, so close... I almost had a heart attack, for real.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIEEgrWsdmtnjA7JrM50bu30EBNaHskDmZXxxp_lFZ-WApyzN4fLqt56ZODGHCGsIJDEcmUO4NsiQC5JV3DtBtKbjuVab5c-SA8emBJ_bkSQQ8DuBHKgm9X9YohjaCXsxIBnQrPLsVrTE/s1600/life1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIEEgrWsdmtnjA7JrM50bu30EBNaHskDmZXxxp_lFZ-WApyzN4fLqt56ZODGHCGsIJDEcmUO4NsiQC5JV3DtBtKbjuVab5c-SA8emBJ_bkSQQ8DuBHKgm9X9YohjaCXsxIBnQrPLsVrTE/s320/life1.jpg" width="320" /></a>Direction is brilliant, the characters are solid - they're people. Everybody's human, but no one is stupid, as we see in many movies of this kind. They are a great team doing the best they can, until it is not enough anymore. Performances are equally solid, collaborating to a amazing and never wrecking entertainment.<br />
<br />
Mari and I, we're have the same genes of reverie... It is not unusual for us to not pay attention to ordinary details that are staring us just on the face. Let's say, for example, the movie's poster. When we left the theater in astounding amazement, I inquired to her how we did miss that. It was for the best, because we had no idea what that movie was about, and the crescent unexpected horrifying events were a very effective way of being scary. I couldn't ask for a better time on this day.<br />

Without knowing, I reached the second Charlie McDowell film in a roll with <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2756032/?ref_=nv_sr_5">The One I Love</a></i>. It is his debut in features, another unusual sci-fi partnership with writer Justin Lader. It was also another shot in the dark for me on Netflix, on a day that I wasn't in the mood anything.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This film was a good fit for me since the beginning. It is ironic, the characters are complex without the need of giving out much - the marvels of a good actor directing and acting, of course. Mark Duplass (also the producer with his brother) and Elizabeth Moss are convincing as a couple, and I had controversial feeling towards them. They feel close to us, despite the distance we're looking at them. We know bizarre is coming, but even so what they go through their relationship is the ordinary issues of a couple that is trying to get back their old lovely days of falling in love after a shaking crisis. The thing about the swimming pool is heartbreaking.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The mix between ordinary and bizarre is the biggest quality of this movie for me. How close the strangers features of life are. The choice of just a few characters, small environments was another good alternative here. The crescent sense of something very wrong going on adds to the suspense, while we still are having fun with Duplass' struggles. Poor guy, he was right all the time (and the title is a hint of the matter here).</div>

It looked like a small nice Sci-fi, with an interesting cast and story. It was that and a little bit more.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've read many angry comments from people that are mad with the movie for different reasons. Some say it doesn't live up to its promising beginning, others question the religious aspects presented in the plot. Despite the rage being predictable, I was bummed by all the bad ratings. I wasn't expecting much from this movie, and it ended up as a pleasant (even if melancholic) surprise. The film touches some big and small issues in one's life by a suspenseful, delicate, intriguing way. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't agree about Jason Segel bad acting here. He is not an actor that calls my attention, but his subdued manner here is fit to his character. Rooney Mara I love, and she is good here, captivating. Robert Redford is a good addition - its great seeing him always, even if in small or not so interesting roles. The cast here was a part of the dreamy (kind of nightmarish) atmosphere of a world devastated by a scientific discovery that should look as a comfort at first, but was more like a plague. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The closeness to important matters in life is incredible in this Sci-fi flick. Each line brings something that transcends the fantasy of the plot, as commonly in a good work of fiction. I liked particularly when Will reflects that there's not a reset point in life (or death), for we will always be turning around the same struggles. No matters the place, we'll still be dealing with our problems. It is an important thought taking under consideration the role of suicide in this movie. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I thought at some moment how the whole love story bit was unnecessary. However, as the final credits started to roll on the screen, I realized how fundamental it is. The thing is that it is played very soberly, without much fuss, and it is like it would be not a great thing. It is, as happens in our lives. Sometimes we're not aware of its role in our every move, but it the base of our actions - along with pain, resentment (which makes a big cameo in here), rage... I know. But at the end, it is love that prevails, undoubtedly. </div>

Things didn't go as I was thought at first, and I have some time on wheels (maybe just a little bit? Oh, hope). Yesterday, I felt like sharing my experience with a fellow temporary crippled, and put <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3120054/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">Take Care</a></i> on the screen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have seen bits of it on cable, and always had fun. A girl is run over by a car, has her leg and arm broken and has to be kept out of her feet for a couple of months at least. Her friends are great, but very self absorbed. She doesn't want to leg go of her little flat to stay with her overbearing sister on the suburbs - after all, she probably fought hard for her independence and life in New York. Seeing herself in a difficult situation, she resorts to a way to have the help she needs while setting right something from her past.<br />
<br />
What was fun before became too close to me, now that I'm in a relative house arrest after breaking my leg and shoulder in a domestic accident (due entirely to my stupidity and hurry). I was laughing hard, with tears in my eyes, while seeing a fancier, more comic, exaggerated version of what I'm going through.<br />
<br />
There's so many small details that I could relate to. The first time we're able to open the fridge by ourselves. The first time out of the confinement of a tiny flat (Leslie Bibb's face on this specific scene, as in many other, is perfect, a sort of childish discover of the world). The visits to the bathroom, the clumsy attempts to gave herself a Kleenex bath (Hey, moist wipes are great :) . How every tiny little daily thing is tremendously hard. The objects surrounding herself while stuck in bed. The attempt of not eating in order not to get fat (it is too late for me, I'm already overweight... But I'm really trying to control my eating, despite spending almost every minute of my days at home). She stuck in bed, and it isn't even her real one, I think... She set up camp in her sofa bed at the living room (bedding settling is a real problem, believe me). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Her doctor reminded me my own: a true expert, pleasant, funny. He also compliments his own genius work (looking at the X-rays and saying how beautiful it was :). My doctor also didn't tell me exactly how long it will take to walk again. I was looking at the scene in front of me, nodding my head: yep, they're just like that, girl!<br />
<br />
I was laughing really hard when I notice something that had no way I could identify before: she has physiotherapy at home (a true luxury), and at one time she is using CPM . Hello, old friend. He is called Continuous Passive Motion, a device proper for some kinds of knee injuries. At the clinic, I named it Creosaldo. He was truly cruel at the beginning (her face on the scene is not an over reaction, I promise you), but now we're good friends. The medieval torture of rope and bonds (50 shades of physiotherapy) is the main cruelty I'm suffering (so much drama, I know).<br />
<br />
Bellow, you can see two of the similarities that made this film so close to me at the moment:<br />

<br />
Of course there some different features; the whole movie is not just shared struggles, but those last ones were overwhelming. If we should look at our lives as a movie sometimes, Take Care was a concrete opportunity to do it.<br />
<br />
I don't live in a flat with flight and flight of stairs anymore, and many friends pointed out to me how lucky I was just for that. The first scene on the movie is a sample of what I would go through if I hadn't move a couple years ago. The difference on this matter is that I have at least 80 pounds over Leslie Bibb and no neighbour, cranky or not, would carry me up 4 flight of stairs.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXdWNnr9NyxFwt8_ulJE8HP0gvk8lcluPfKH_BLJnm28qeZm4tWZi3TFQapmYm8XaJxsxB9HB6-OdHZ8ls2beAlRpJceeEj2Nm5emN1nIGxZkNLcEzs2uMYiz_vII4NWYz5wogObYSA3M/s1600/takecare2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXdWNnr9NyxFwt8_ulJE8HP0gvk8lcluPfKH_BLJnm28qeZm4tWZi3TFQapmYm8XaJxsxB9HB6-OdHZ8ls2beAlRpJceeEj2Nm5emN1nIGxZkNLcEzs2uMYiz_vII4NWYz5wogObYSA3M/s1600/takecare2.jpg" /></a>The true chasm between our situation, though, are the friends. Her's are nice, dear friends, but too self-absorbed to truly understand all the fragility involved by her state. The gay friend taking a crush from Grinder to her home at the time he would sponge bath her is outrageous - but true. That happens - not frequently to me, thanks my careful friends. The thing is that not just everyone is totally aware of what means to be so dependent and not mobile anymore - and Frannie's friends are miles and miles away of that notion. Her sister is overbearing - worried, yes, but suffocating. All that is heavy stuff to confront while being so incapacitated, struggling with the loss of mobility and independence.<br />
<br />
Lucky me my friends are so incredibly amazing. They took a lot from my hands, looking for the right wheel's chair when the first one was too big for my the narrow doorjambs at my flat. They were with me 24/7 for more than ten days, each one giving the time and effort they could (a lot of times they went so far beyond their possibilities). I was surrounded by some much care, love, attention... I'll be grateful for the rest of my life (and for so many lives after).<br />
<br />
This way, I didn't had the need to resort to what Frannie was in a way forced to in order to have some minimal comfort and dignity. I don't think she was wrong or that the guilt obligated an ex to care for her. I even think that it was a right thing to do, according, for example, to what advises the systemic therapy (Family Constellations). There was something missing there, not recognized, and by asking help as she did it was possible to heal so many hurt, to recognize what was done and to mend lots of bridges.<br />
<br />
Yes, it is a comedy, a romantic flick. This way many things are a bit too much, but they're a part of telling this story. My bigger but is the characterization of Devon's girlfriend. She is insecure, needy, despite being successful, beautiful, wealth and all the things we wrongly associate to a strong emotional being. Not by chance Devon is with her - he becomes stronger on her side, after a couple of years being the fragile part of a relationship. However, Betty Gilpin and her character didn't deserve to be transformed in one of the White Chicks - a caricature woman. It is too much, even for comic effects. The over cranky neighbour, though, is perfect. It was Joe who reminded that the actor was the same guy of <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2015/04/day-forty-eight-april-26.html">In Your Eyes</a></i>, a dear movie for both of us. Watching the movie aware of this allowed me to like him much more here (and I was already a fan of his bluntness in this movie).<br />
<br />
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBDhZLzxgbj1EdgZlrGHh51pJa1KqhSAYEVuesZh1h1RM60iAVuR1qFpZ6j1pRG5DRyP3fO59M_49X-l1mwtuVxG2q_8FTEjfd8c1NYx_oCRFBhK7_13JnyLGjHnEgCycr-1BSodMpvBM/s1600/takecare3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBDhZLzxgbj1EdgZlrGHh51pJa1KqhSAYEVuesZh1h1RM60iAVuR1qFpZ6j1pRG5DRyP3fO59M_49X-l1mwtuVxG2q_8FTEjfd8c1NYx_oCRFBhK7_13JnyLGjHnEgCycr-1BSodMpvBM/s320/takecare3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
It is an odd mystery what happens inside of each one of us. We don't always are aware or able to understand what hurts more to someone. And there's no sense to try to input to others our pain and resentments - I truly hate when someone tries to blame their issues on me (it makes me furious sometimes). But I try to constantly understand that it is a sign of a deep hurt, and if the person is important to me, I try to listen and attempt any way to help in the way that is suit to that person. Sometimes the hurt is so gigantic that there's no way of communication. However, if there's something we become aware when totally depending of others, is that the help must fit to the one that is receiving it - we don't help in our own terms, despite only doing what we're capable of. We help on the other's terms, and that's the lesson to Devon - he was both recipient and giver, and through two different occasions, he learns how to deal with both.<br />
<br />
I see a lot in this story, but I'm aware that not everybody, specially the critics, see the same. If I was able to recognize many important subjects in the movie before, now I have in it a friend to talk about a similar trouble. It was so good to have its help on this day. That's cinema for me: a way to confront myself, my own life, while understanding others and their issues. I couldn't ask for a better partner.<br />

PS: I hope my my next appointment will go as Frannie's: the doc will look at me and will tell me to get out of there - walking. I think it is more complicated than that (the movie always seemed very simplistic in this matter), but I'll hope (cautiously) anyway :)<br />
<br />
PPS: It is always good to see Thomas Sadoski. He reminds me of <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0381707/?ref_=nv_sr_1">Newsroom</a></i>, an amazing TV show. And his character was so good - complicated, easy to hate and love :)<br />

Absolute joy.<br />
<br />

I already was aware that this movie would be just my cup of tea. I never imagined, however, how happy it would make me feel. And since from the first scene.<br />
<br />
It is so unbelievably good, in a non pretentious and quiet manner, in the usual way of John Carney. I'm annoyed by<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/jun/01/john-carney-keira-knightley-apology-begin-again-comments"> his statement </a>about Keira Knightley, who is the soul of <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2015/04/day-twenty-nine-april-7.html">Begin Again</a></i>, but I tell myself a lesson given by Neil Gaiman: the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/oct/28/neil-gaiman-lou-reed-sandman">person is not the art</a>. It is sad to see someone that reaches our soul with its art being such a jerk though.<br />
<br />
<i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0907657/?ref_=nv_sr_6">Once </a></i>was my first Carney's flick, and I love it so much, it is so heartfelt, real, close to the heart - and filmed on Dublin <3 It was with Once that I realized how a good sound design is fundamental to tell a good story. <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2015/07/day-119-on-edge-july-6.html">On the Edge</a></i> and <i>Begin Again</i> are other love given to me by Carney. And now <i>Sing Street</i> is a part of this great troupe.<br />
<br />
All the musical influences in the movie were my own, bands and songs that are still a lovely part of my life. I had a smile on my face that only faded on the more sad scenes. It is one of the heaviest Carney's movies, along with <i>On the Edge</i>. What the characters go through is very similar to the life of those living in small cities without much access to anything (as Brasilia on the '80s). <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw1BsxKWH-Kk7DIFy3uKsm-YFpyru03CgOp1s54kwDKA4-EHWt2_9BJLwSwoW81hMutFg-yrVRSaQOocUhLPUFrFFmTacgkagP0PkFOkgWCGVYa-9wY4P-uxO-ygNROQXSx3LouzennMg/s1600/sing1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw1BsxKWH-Kk7DIFy3uKsm-YFpyru03CgOp1s54kwDKA4-EHWt2_9BJLwSwoW81hMutFg-yrVRSaQOocUhLPUFrFFmTacgkagP0PkFOkgWCGVYa-9wY4P-uxO-ygNROQXSx3LouzennMg/s320/sing1.jpg" width="320" /></a>I remember watching the video clips with the same awe as Conor's. The way he repeats his brother's views on Duran Duran (a view probably borrowed from someone else) is so familiar, I've heard it from many people at the time I was 15, it was impossible not to relate to the story and the people on it. This movie has it all: the perfect dose of exaggeration, travesty, comedy, sobriety, friendship, feelings, pain, love... A perfect mix.<br />
<br />
The scene where the three siblings dance while their parents are arguing loudly on the hall is sad, beautiful, heartfelt, endearing... it broke my heart in a million pieces. Impossible not to remember my own youth, despite the different circumstances. It was a great journey through time, with amazing people, songs, memories, and the realization that life is pretty good after all.<br />
<br />
The last but not least: a movie about the '80 opening with a Motorhead song :) I was jumping on the couch for sure.<br />

<br />
PS: <i>Sing Street </i>brought me the a joy of going back to my teen years, specially when I was 16, one very similar (not so intense) to what I found a couple years ago with <i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Eleanor-Park-Rainbow-Rowell/dp/1250012570/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492478296&sr=8-1&keywords=eleanor+%26+park">Eleanor & Park</a></i>, a book by Rainbow Rowell. The two main characters are 16 in 1986, the same as me. All the references - comics, songs, bands - are so mine, it was such a journey. The bit about The Prefab Sprout's T-shirt made me yell in pleasant surprise. The story here is heartbreaking, Eleanor felt so much an alien as I did - a trully weird kid, living a life so detached from the others at the school. Even so, in that time I met the best friends in the whole world, that accepted me (and still do) as weird as I am till this day - they're my Park, sweet, very special, caring and amazingly crazy themselves.<br />

PPS: About the Gaiman's take on Lou Reed, I'd probably posted this bit here already, but it is worthy a reprise. This dialogue is so F* good:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">I named my daughter Holly after Warhol superstar Holly
Woodlawn, who I'd discovered in Walk on the Wild Side. When Holly was 19, I
made her a playlist of more songs she had loved as a small girl, the ones she'd
remembered and the ones she'd forgotten, which led to our having the
Conversation. I dragged songs from her childhood over to the playlist – Nothing
Compares 2 U and I Don't Like Mondays and These Foolish Things, and then came
Walk on the Wild Side. "You named me from this song, didn't you?"
said Holly as the first bass notes sang. "Yup," I said. Reed started
singing.</span><br /><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Holly listened to the first verse, and for the first
time, actually heard the words. "Shaved her legs and then he was a she …?
He?"</span><br /><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">"That's right," I said, and bit the bullet.
We were having the Conversation. "You were named after a drag queen in a
Lou Reed song." She grinned like a light going on. "Oh Dad. I do love
you," she said. Then she wrote what I'd said down on the back of an
envelope, in case she forgot it. I'm not sure that I'd ever expected the
Conversation to go quite like that."</span></blockquote>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jean-Marc Vallée had already touched important matters with <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/04/elle-april7.html">Big Little Lies</a></i>. And <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2305051/?ref_=nv_sr_2">Wild </a></i>(let's not forget). And <i><a href="http://c.r.a.z.y./">C.R.A.Z.Y.</a></i> of course (what I said above about more artistic productions?). He is establishing himself in more mainstream medium with the same care and heart from some of his earliest features. On TV, it is the same. So it is not too much to say that we could expect (damn) amazing things from him in the near future.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I gotta say that I would like to be a part of the demolition Davis is forced to face up when his world crumbles, but he is still too delusional to admit it. His life had assumed a certain pattern that was very effective to part him from himself and the people he loved. He was detached, until the true detachment came, forcing him to demolish all the walls and superficial feelings he had around him in order to not live and feel and suffer. How many times life does that to us? And will keep going, until we are strong enough to do this sort of demolition freely.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love the sound of glass breaking. Things shattering with no way back. We should demolish all the protections we erect since childhood in order to survive. We're older, stronger than the kids we were, even if still too fragile sometimes. But we can face it up front. Ask Denis, he'll tell it is a gigantic effort, but one worthy of ourselves and the people we meet on this fundamental journey.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Thanks again, Dear Joe.</div>

There's a reason why this post is late. I usually try to publsh my comments about a movie in the day after I saw it, no more than that. Sometimes, lazyness or some blue spell prevent me of doing so. This time, was something else though.<br />
<br />

Night Shyamalan's flick, <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4972582/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_2">Split</a></i>. First of all, have you see what I've wrote? I left the theater! Yeah, baby!!! I went to the movies, big screen, buttery popcorn, noisy costumers and all. Wonderful. It was more than 2 months far from one of my favorite best places on the world. It was like when we see a beloved friend after some time apart: it seemed like not one day had passed by <3</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was extatic, despite all the trouble I gave my niece and the friend that went with me. It was so good to be in a movie theater again, being so close to the film! Thanks Mari and Dea, for allowing me a great time going back my home in this world!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, about Split, I was anxious to see it in the theater. So much that I had no doubt about the movie to watch on this day, even if there's many others I'd like to reach on the cinema. I try to follow James McAvoy's career for more than a decade. I'm not sure when he called my attention for the first time, but there are many films out there that I saw because of him. I gave up following him up close a couple of years ago, but he is still an actor that I admire. Playing a character with 23 different identities? I couldn't miss that!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5RSTqa1jyIOXZGKmhbo0hBTHb-arVcWAdKQsCugPnJcHWf5iNjHBwM6qOjftEolK1QYE4m7n6fGuirVoX42kr5xj2s8SuFx2K4u0-ZzGiYB9WwBfW_Rvl3GSNg9I15qFePjNS6H0GPnM/s1600/IMG_8822.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5RSTqa1jyIOXZGKmhbo0hBTHb-arVcWAdKQsCugPnJcHWf5iNjHBwM6qOjftEolK1QYE4m7n6fGuirVoX42kr5xj2s8SuFx2K4u0-ZzGiYB9WwBfW_Rvl3GSNg9I15qFePjNS6H0GPnM/s200/IMG_8822.PNG" width="112" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I won't talk about that thing about expectations, that's old news (despite being always true). The bigger problem on this film for me was that it started as a psychological thriller, a good one by the way, and at the last 20 minutes, someone changed his mind and decided it would be a horror story, connected to the universe of one other of Shyamalan's films (to know which,don't get up before the end of the final credits - so Marvel of you, M). It is not just a matter of keeping the suspense up, but a basic lack of definition of the main plot. There's a hint about what would happen in one character's speech at certain point, but it is too little to justify such a turn of events. The thing is, the psychological thriller was so well executed, it was a shame loose that. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other negative aspect here is the slight (maybe not so discreet actually) erotization of violence against young women. The lack of some clothing here, the way it was pictured, was unnecessary to the story and characters, I think. The matter is too delicate to be treated like that. And we're talking about me, a person that is unfortunately not always so attentive to such issues (really unfortunate). So, if it called my attention, if it made feel discomfort... well, it is not a small thing (not so slight).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A friend of mine hates Shyamalan because of Signals. I wouldn't say I dislike his films, but I'm starting to change my mind. A director cannot survive only of <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167404/?ref_=nv_sr_2">The Sixth Sense</a></i>, doesn't matter how amazing it is. </div>

PS: The first time I've watched <i>The Sixth Sense,</i> I was spending a couple of months in Vancouver to study English for the first time. I was by myself at the theater, no friends with me, just strangers around. At the end, I wasn't sure if I had got it right, and was very tempted to ask someone about it. Well, I had just to wait ask my friends from school if I had really understood the ending...</div>

It was among a lot of amazing productions I've had already seen that I found out about <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2649554/?ref_=nm_knf_t3">Midnight Special</a>.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This movie is a small gem, I'll say up front. It is a studio production with a weight of all that a good indie movie has. I saw a Jeff Nichols' film before, <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1935179/?ref_=nm_flmg_wr_4">Mud</a></i>, many times on cable. It is a sweet and bitter tale of coming-of-age, with intense performances by Matthew McGonaughey (I don't believe I spelled it right in the first try) and Reese Whiterspoon. I'm looking for his other films now because of <i>Midnight Special</i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cast is great. Michael Shannon is a constant in Nichols' movies, as I've read after. Kirsten Dusnt is in a very unusual role for her, and delivers a heartfelt Sarah. Adam Driver is perfect as the NSA brainiac. The kid? Course, Jaeden Lieberher took us all with him, without even asking. And we go willingly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This sci-fi movie is exquisite. There's not many explanation of a lot of things preceding the point when we start to follow the story, but there's not a single hole on the script, if you think carefully. What Nichols explicits here is that any story has a frame of time, of space. Yes, there's those, like David Copperfield, that tell all, from the moment they're born till death comes with a vengeance or not. Even so, there's many things before and after. Where is the beginning of things, after all? Nichols tells us he is not interesting in explaining that. He allows us to form the story with him, and what he doesn't show we can figure out easily - that's the beauty in a story well constructed. If you look for something already chewed for you, maybe even still this film will grab your attention, the suspense and action are interesting and well done.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgugASCEHDoJgk3F5DazgW55mJ2rkub-pUiTTJQRbPRlSV5Hct8nJBO0gBc3w9pQuh6SS47LRZC033f3ogKEo1ZJDW4gTk3Y0x2WjbEeqL01YgHSfjc7tCNVtHTqDJ9-8L_wyU5r9PH2bQ/s1600/midnight1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgugASCEHDoJgk3F5DazgW55mJ2rkub-pUiTTJQRbPRlSV5Hct8nJBO0gBc3w9pQuh6SS47LRZC033f3ogKEo1ZJDW4gTk3Y0x2WjbEeqL01YgHSfjc7tCNVtHTqDJ9-8L_wyU5r9PH2bQ/s320/midnight1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was more difficult for me at the end, but just because I'm a bit slow (if it was just a bit...). It was obvious what was happening, the wires on a character's head. It took me a while to realize what it was, but I'm very satisfied with my perception of it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To move through a story and taking bits of it to built a bigger scenery is a feature just good directors achieve with such success. We're lucky that there are a lot of them out there, giving us not only big masterpieces, but also small gems like this movie, both equally fundamental to our lives despite their different dimensions. I'll watch Nichols more attentively from now own.</div>

After the hysterically funny and captivating roller coaster that was <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/03/23-days-to-go-hunt-for-wilderpeople.html">Hunt for the Wilderpeople</a></i>, Taika Waititi definitely was fixed on my radar. Just this week, I've seen his debut on features. On this day, I decided to check the only one of his movies I haven't watched yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEtoJhb9S6RuHnso0JJkkZz_6YTY8DHeYxbMu44A1wmwIgKYTaGMOpWik2TizN1F85PFkcJCq3WjK8f3l3Jw2TXyJ7ZVqZc4FnI6q4eiIdTE05YJiSRCrNdlV6PgZx59fYEZLaAkS0a6Q/s1600/shadows.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEtoJhb9S6RuHnso0JJkkZz_6YTY8DHeYxbMu44A1wmwIgKYTaGMOpWik2TizN1F85PFkcJCq3WjK8f3l3Jw2TXyJ7ZVqZc4FnI6q4eiIdTE05YJiSRCrNdlV6PgZx59fYEZLaAkS0a6Q/s400/shadows.jpg" width="280" /></a></div>
Fla told me about <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3416742/?ref_=nv_sr_1">What We do in the Shadows</a></i> without knowing it was a movie from the same guy as <i>Wilderpeople</i>. Or I think she didn't know (I'm not trusting my memory these days. Well, I better say never, actually, but this long period of time stuck at home is wrecking my perception of things). Well, it was then with great expectations (oh dread) that I reached Taika's take on vampires with Fla's sister.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What have I told you about great expectations (Dickens warned us about it, but we didn't hear carefully enough)? From the beginning, I had a feeling of detachment from what I was seeing. Yes, it is funny, the references are great and so. Actually, it is a work of genius, but it didn't get me as I would think it at first. Waititi is so good, his partnership with Jemaine Clement (the same from <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/04/eagle-vs-shark-april-10.html">Eagle vs Shark</a>)</i>. I just imagine how fun the shooting was. They obviously have a great time together, both having an incredible amount of references from pop culture. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The opening sequence is so, so good, it is already among my favorite.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Waititi and Clemaine's take on vampires is impeccable, to say the truth. Despite all the hype of Twilight some years ago (more than a decade!), the Stephenie Meyer's vampires are not the biggest hit here. Vampires that will stay forever with us are the stars: Bela Lugosi, Gary Oldman's Dracula, the dandies from<a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2015/09/day-182-interview-with-vampire-vampire.html"> <i>Interview with The Vampire</i></a> and, of course, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0013442/?ref_=nv_sr_1">Nosferatu </a>- I loved Petyr. I love them all, actually, and it intrigues me why I couldn't fall for this movie at first sight. It was a rational relationship, as a way to say. I could observe how good it was, but wasn't feeling this way. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

A funny fact: I had a copy in German, and it wasn't translated. I wasn't sure if it was intentional or not. It reminded me the time, at 1993, when a friend I were researching vampire films for a dissertation to a History of Religions class, and the only copy of Nosteratu available was at a German language centre, and it had no translated subtitles. It felt like karma :) However, after Mari left at the middle of the movie, I decided resort to Netflix, and then I could follow all the lines I had missed before. From this point on, the movie made more sense for me, and I was able to enjoy it better. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Seriously, this movie is really good. A proof of how nerds are the best in the whole world. I'm just an amateur nerd, and I'm not sure if I can include myself when I say nerds will definitely save the world. They're our only hope, and filmmakers like Waititi and Clemaine show us just how true it is.<br />

I wasn't at all on the mood for something too serious. A cold has be rounding me, I'm too sleepy, lazy.. so I resorted to the list of Sci-fi movies on Netflix and end of story.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7yqD9dC6hb7miusO7_Vai7pFGxVurpX4evC0w5HDtS3i2zgIPH0aQp-_etDwCrkGdUIqkIboRNMcQ3OxYiAmaPgnM37nNkxaVboNXJWL-W_5LeHwp2AwstfReriQ7O7w4d7VtoXn7C8Q/s1600/darkskies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7yqD9dC6hb7miusO7_Vai7pFGxVurpX4evC0w5HDtS3i2zgIPH0aQp-_etDwCrkGdUIqkIboRNMcQ3OxYiAmaPgnM37nNkxaVboNXJWL-W_5LeHwp2AwstfReriQ7O7w4d7VtoXn7C8Q/s400/darkskies.jpg" width="280" /></a>Or I thought it was, because I have seen almost all of the films listed there... The first one I hadn't saw it was the chosen one (hehe). That was <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5831362/?ref_=nv_sr_1">Dark Skies</a></i> (not a good title, I reckon), a mix of Sci-fi/Horror that looked like fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was, for sure. Nothing big, from another world, but I wasn't expecting that. I like Keri Russel since her <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134247/?ref_=nv_sr_2">Felicity </a></i>times, and I find interesting seeing her in a flick. The suspense is good enough, with scary scenes in a level that I had to let the light on. I usually have the policy of not watching Horror alone, but this looked not too much, it was early in the night and I had the company of a peperoni pizza. Everything should be alright.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Again, it was. However, when the film was moving on its second half, I realized I had seen it from that point on, probably while surfing the TV channels. Knowing what would happened made more scared, and not the opposite. It ended up that I didn't remember the whole ending, and what hasn't made sense before was all clear now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I enjoy and I'm too scared from my own good of endings like that. We always hope for a solution, and without spoiling much, you won't find it here - just a hint of hope. That kind of not patronizing conclusion is interesting and, at the same time, scares me to hell. Despite not being an wow movie, Dark Skies fulfilled its role on my day in a good way. A good plot, well constructed, without loose ends.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now it's just a matter of suppressing some of its scary scenes and try to sleep. Maybe.</div>

After an afternoon out at the shopping with family, I was so, so tired that it was one of those nights in which I ask my self why-oh-why I thought this dare would be a good idea.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, it was the best of ideas, giving sense and purpose to a very ugh time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>

In days like these, I try to find a movie that I know will take out of a foul mood or extreme tiredness. My choice was, this way, a movie from a director that has been surprising me a lot the last couple of months, <a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/03/23-days-to-go-hunt-for-wilderpeople.html">Taika </a><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/03/14-days-to-go-boy-march-25.html">Waititi</a>. <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0494222/?ref_=nv_sr_1">Eagle vs Shark</a></i> was his first adventure on features. Maybe for that it is sweeter and quieter than his other films. It is funny, fierce, ironic still, don't get me wrong. However, Lily is such a sweet main character, she imprints herself on this. It is more true when we consider that Loren Taylor is the screenplay co-writer. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jarrod... well, about him I'm not sure, he is so obnoxious. He is nos just awkward or a misfit. He has tunnel vision regarding himself and the rest of the world. Despicable, to say the least. His family background is not an excuse, I think. His best feature is Lily, who fell for him I don't know why - as if there's a reason in falling in love. Stupid heart. The usual suspects, as Waititi himself and the incredible Rachel House (both much less hysterical here). Lily's brother is sheer joy, I loved him so much. It is his one of the usual incredible pop culture references by Waitit, one of the greatest I've ever seen (too close to my heart :). In his answering machine, there was this message: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Hello. This is Bond, James Bond. I'm away on a mission for Her Majesty's Secret Service. Please leave a message. Shaken not stirred".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've watched <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046912/?ref_=nv_sr_1">Dial M for Murder</a></i> a couple of decades ago. I remember that I enjoyed it, it is indeed a good thriller, but the only scene that stuck to my memory was the attempt murder by the phone. So I reached this Hitchcock movie almost as if I've never seen it before. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is one of the lighter Hitchcock's productions, along movies as <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047396/?ref_=nv_sr_1">Rear Window</a></i> and <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2015/08/day-160-to-catch-thief-august-16.html">To Catch a Thief </a></i>(both immediately following <i>Dial M</i>...), and it is equally amazing, despite my least favorite one in comparison to the other two. The suspense is beautifully built, details in production are once more a Hitchcock's forte, but the psychological aspect loses space to the simple look at human venom. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dialogues are great here, with an almost theater feeling. Almost the whole movie revolves around one set (or its immediate surroundings), with few people acting at the same time (except maybe for the last take). The pursuit for perfection cost Hitchcock in the scissor scene (as we can read on imdb.com trivia). He was a sucker for perfection, and that's why he was and will be a masterful filmmaker.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was not too happy with the casting, is a little weak on the part of the villain. Grace Kelly is always a joy, despite her character being a bit too dependent. I'd rather see her in Rear Window in a clever partnership with James Stewart. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was happy to reach this movie again. It is worthy a rerun from time to time, as the majority of Hitchcock's movies. </div>

PS: A friend has been telling me how I should see <i>Rear Window</i> during my forced time on a wheel's chair.

Maybe I saw bits of it on TV, but until this day I haven't been able to watch it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There's a lot of fuss around <i>Dark City</i>, although the raving comments on imdb.com are mostly from the time the movie was released or from a few years after. There's a lot of comparison with Matrix - some of the set was sold to the Wackowski's film. Both movies have a similar premise - life as an illusion, a dream (I doubt there's something more true in life than our nightly dreams). The illusion is one shared by timeless espritual beliefs around the world: this life on earth is just an illusion, our real being are not in this body or place. Sci-fi stories are skillful in talking about this belief - one that I share, by the way. Be aware of the illusion is the key for living, and both films talk about that in different ways. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm usually against the grain, a capacity ingrained on people from Aquarius. I'm aware of how good Dark City is, but I'm too attached to what <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133093/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">The Matrix </a></i>meant at its time to think it is a masterpiece. Sorry. Maybe just because of such movies that what was happening in <i>Dark City </i>was too clear, the references so ordinary now to amaze me. They're good references, don't get me wrong. The Strangers are a bunch of Nosferatus, Dr. Schreber has a staggering resemblance to <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103874/?ref_=nv_sr_1">Dracula's </a></i>Renfield. And of course the everlasting night take us straight to <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2015/09/day-181-blade-runner-final-cut.html">Blade Runner</a></i> - as the sort of '40s aesthetic in some aspects, despite the futuristic tec involved. I'm not talking about copy here, but about references - they stay in the air of what was and what it will be, and stories after stories refer to each other. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The sort of jello image that signalizes (something unnecessary to me, that weakened the action actually) the mind power is similar to what I see peripherally when I have a migraine coming up. It caused me a great discomfort, adding to the atmosphere. Nor a bad movie at all, but nothing that rocked my Sci-fi world. Unfortunately.</div>

PS: I first noticed Rufus Sewell in a good way with his great rendition of Petruchio in <i>The Taming of the Shrew</i> for the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1062205/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_31">BBC's good series</a>. This modern version of this great tale (I love it the different takes on this story specially <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0147800/?ref_=nv_sr_1">10 Things I Hate About You</a></i>) is hysterically funny, endearing, sweet, heartfelt and very true to what is essential, at least for me, in the story. I feel inadequate as Katherine, and I understand her way of claiming her own place while not fitting the family and social patterns. Ruffus is amazing here, and from the moment I saw his Petruchio I stopped confusing him with Jude Law. </div>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7GW4mtPytb9TI7d0g6wlohDQ8LyYlNcxP0prL8KFKZd8Zgw39NWlP3640Belc5xJvnMXjPUOvw-wCrmSUD3uP0YaY7Ei-TTvlbnU_bIEjQA1hcqHj71yJ6jeCPgcgm09ATjrvVn8SFz0/s1600/elle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7GW4mtPytb9TI7d0g6wlohDQ8LyYlNcxP0prL8KFKZd8Zgw39NWlP3640Belc5xJvnMXjPUOvw-wCrmSUD3uP0YaY7Ei-TTvlbnU_bIEjQA1hcqHj71yJ6jeCPgcgm09ATjrvVn8SFz0/s400/elle.jpg" width="294" /></a>The feelings surrounding me at the end of <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3716530/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">Elle </a></i>were, as the movie itself, not easy, very contradictory, disturbing. While trying to understand why, I realized how I was caught in a perverse old social trap of judging the victim. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I ask myself if one day it will be possible to get free of such dreadful traps.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Concerning women consent and choices, in a wide range, but specially regarding sex, I've been thinking a lot about <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2015/03/day-nine-march-18.html">50 Shades of Grey</a></i> and how there's a lot of talk about how Anna is unprepared do accept a dominant relationship, as if being a virgin young adult equals to stupidity. There's many things to question in E. L. James way of presenting what I think is a relevant love story, but not Anna's consent. That is her own, and she is capable of it. "But she was virgin, and young..." Really?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In <i>Elle</i>, consent is a fundamental theme, as to say. However elegant and smart, very polished even, Elle doesn't romanticize the relations here, nor is kidding around when exposes all the ranges of the hurt its main character carries. It is extremely respectful, but not patronizing. It points out in a clever way how we're so prompt to judge a women because of her choices is a punch in the face. Filmmakers as Paul Verhoeven are masters of pointing our own misconceptions right on the face, making use of beautiful cinematography, fierce writing, solid performances and an acute direction to let nothing out. We should listen to what they're saying with a lot of attention. The message they convey with their films are multiple, not without controversy, as people and life, and fundamentally important nowadays. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let's just say that we're talking about a Dutch who leaned french in other to work better with his French Crew and actors. And superb main actress.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Elle could be named Isabelle Huppert, for she is the foundation stone here. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3716530/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv">I've read</a> that many Hollywood actresses had refused the role of Michèle for finding it too controversial. When Verhoven moved the production to France, Huppert, having already read the book, asked to be a part of this project. It is a cliche, but some things are really meant to be. She is heart and soul of Elle. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA1-_Eg-nTsTCLrnkBz0gqmawmU-fwL0v5Ozc0wyLRtCENToZspUkl_57Tmq2MgonMPSeu2pG6UXNyzUuEbJyO_EdIO6Pt4_Lc9dzUSHcp0i8SOMgY40zryP_6UVlm0tPF-2m9sRANHTg/s1600/elle2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA1-_Eg-nTsTCLrnkBz0gqmawmU-fwL0v5Ozc0wyLRtCENToZspUkl_57Tmq2MgonMPSeu2pG6UXNyzUuEbJyO_EdIO6Pt4_Lc9dzUSHcp0i8SOMgY40zryP_6UVlm0tPF-2m9sRANHTg/s320/elle2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Michèle has been judged since young age. She had to grow up and become a woman very sure of herself in order to survive all the madness of such judgment, from people that know absolute nothing about what she went through, about what it means to be her. Absolutely F* nothing. The same applies to Elle's audience, a lot of them, even if well intentioned, don't think twice before judging what they're seeing. I was in awe with her - disturbed, yes, of course. The story is disturbing, its more relevant strength. The kind of violence Michele was and is submitted constantly is disturbing... the damages and marks of all this on her couldn't any less dreadful. And still we judge her. From the narrow-mindness of our point of views, in order to recognize the abuse suffered as "valid" (arrrr, what is this world?), the woman should be perfect. Really? Violence is so easily justifiable by anyone - it is a crime by itself. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At one point, Michèle tells her best friend that "Shame isn't a strong enough emotion to stop us from doing anything at all. Believe me." She says that from a place of being very aware of herself and the issues on her life. That is admirable by itself, plus other features that make me love her, laughing with her antics, being horrified by what she went through, learning with her fierceness, supporting her even when it is not easy. She has the right to be her, and she earned it (as women has earned around the world) with a lot of pain and sacrifice. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The question here is Michèle's sexuality. She is in her 50s, and that is something that rises all the judgments. She knows what she is, and she came to this point absolutely alone - how she deals with the violence at the beginning of the movie is an example of that. And she knows what she wants. She doesn't ask for you to understand. It is not that she doesn't care.. .She is not allowed to care.. Otherwise, she wouldn't be.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The movie is so smart, a really class act. The subject is thunderous, but the tone is almost austere at some moments - a restrain broken by Michèle irony, sagacity, humour, witty. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the last scene, I looked for some reviews about this amazing Verhoven movie. I don't take chances on reviews, because I commonly don't care for them. When I feel the need, as in this case, I go to two places, and that I did after the final credits. First, I recurred to Pablo Vilhaça from <a href="http://www.cinemaemcena.com.br/Critica/Filme/8261/elle">Cinema in Cena</a>, a Brazilian site of movie's reviews. I usually share of Vilhaça's views, with a few exceptions. His take on Elle reveals how confused he was with this movie - and it is perfectly expected. Even so, I was a bit disappointed. So, I went after <a href="http://rogerebert.com/">Rogerebert.com</a>, and Sheila O'Malley review was just what I was after: an intelligent discussion of what is really the matter in Verhoeven's film. If you have the time, it is worthy it, for real. </div>

I didn't want to stray far from what I've saw just moments before. The HBO show with an stellar cast was beyond my expectations - and unfortunately I had many. I haven't read the book in which it was based on, so I had no idea what it was about. It even took me some time to realize what I was really seeing, something that went beyond the apparent look to the lives of those wealth women in Monterrey. I was mesmerized by it. And the cast? Just wow. Nicole Kidman, Reese Whisterspoon, Zoë Kravitz... What to say about Shailene Woodley and Laura Dern, that made me forget that they were daughter and mother not a long time ago? And in a <a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2015/03/day-seven-march-16.html">dear movie</a> for me, not something easy to forget. This is how good they're here. The final episode is a roller coaster, not because of all the revelations, some of it even predictable. The dynamics between the characters, what they're going through... that's where the gold is. From the opening sequence, that I've never dared to fast forward, til every small detail, nothing is disposable. The young cast is something else too. I loved Darby Camp's Chloe. Of course I couldn't pair such a high production with something any less complex. In a more superfluous note, that Audrey+Elvis party was so good - even if it exposes the many silly and perverse layers of that people and place. I was so anxious because of what was happening, but could not stop to gawk at the costumes. So many beautiful Audreys <3</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yesterday, with only three days to go till I'd supposedly would be back on my feet, I was informed that I've at least more three weeks to go around on a wheels chair, killing my ass of in physiotherapy, holding on to the wonderful support my friends are so lovely giving me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I usually talk about the bad nature of expectations in movies. The same apply to plans in life - they should always be taken in very small doses. I try that constantly, but the fact is that I was hoping that the Orthopedist would look at the X Ray's and tell me: rise, walk and shine. Of course that didn't happened, and I came back home with a bad case of blue feelings. All that was forgotten at night, at my favorite bar with my hysterically fun dear friends, happy to do something resembling a routine :) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This way, my policy concerning this addendum is: no more counting downs. Here, universe, it is up to you (and my doctor and my healing knee) now. We're free here to see one movie per day until my feet are on the ground again. </div>

Joe has been telling me about <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1655416/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">Mental </a></i>for a time, knowing how I love <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110598/?ref_=nm_flmg_wr_6">Muriel's Wedding</a></i> (1984), also from P. J. Logan, a man with an incredible penchant for the weird and kirsch and funny and heartbreaking characters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Muriel's, it was up to Abba to give the cheesy endearing features that characterize the movie. the choice in here is no less alluring (it will be a surprise for you, OK? Don't look it up, please). It wasn't the overwhelming surprise as in Moulin Rouge, for example, but it was really sweet. However, the thing is, I didn't relate to the characters here, except for the kids (they're amazing). So this film was lacking for me until the second half, when I was able to understand those people better. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Toni Collete I love, but she is a bit excessive here, and not in the good way that she is in Muriel's. See, I couldn't relate to her or the other adult people on this movie. The scenes are hysterical, the plot carries relevant ideas... The idea of how mental people around us are, posing as perfect and with the right to judge others, is a nice try to call attention to the craziness we witness every moment of our day. it was not delivered in a way that could grab me for real. It is sad when it happens, but, as in life, it does. So we take from it what we can and move on. Or back - I'm thinking about watching <i>Muriel's Wedding</i> again (after all, it was the movie that introduced Toni Collette, Rachel Griffiths and the barbarian aussies to the world). </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
One big surprise: Liev Schriever. I had to resource to imdb to confirm that was really him. He is a bit over too, as all the characters (as I'm sure was the intention here, just not a well dosed one), but a sigh to see as the disturbed and disturbing Trevor. </div>

Well, are you up for a few more days of whining and movies? I hope so. For now,</div>

I'm getting stronger, I guess. Two Refn's movies in a roll it's a remarkable feature for me. The Danish director is one of my favorites nowadays, and I never take him lightly. However, still rooked on <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2017/04/4-days-to-go-neon-demon-april-3.html">The Neon Demon</a></i>, I couldn't think about watching anything else but something equally thunderous. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfNtHT9gwWohh9fVRvMEzmEwIGetqUaW8eAOM8mn5x9h8eTA6qDdxSiZME-FRTkAyJtF-lY5MCWMnPWOw96LM9s-iILKFNuNYtdLGEYmezxMhM-Bfswh48eoDJbJdMoa60qjtGBS_G-ok/s1600/valhalla.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfNtHT9gwWohh9fVRvMEzmEwIGetqUaW8eAOM8mn5x9h8eTA6qDdxSiZME-FRTkAyJtF-lY5MCWMnPWOw96LM9s-iILKFNuNYtdLGEYmezxMhM-Bfswh48eoDJbJdMoa60qjtGBS_G-ok/s400/valhalla.jpg" width="285" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This way, I got to <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0862467/?ref_=nm_flmg_wr_5">Valhalla Rising</a></i>, a 2009 Refn's work, his movie after the punch in the face that is <i><a href="http://onemovieadaywithamelie.blogspot.com.br/2015/12/day-287-bronson-december-21.html">Bronson</a></i>. I was immediately absorbed by it, the incredible cinematography, the silence, the tiny little details that built the violence on a world that chronologically is so far away, still so ours til today. It is a study of what make us, the violence so inherent in a humankind that is also capable of sacrifices for others. A contradictory nature that Refn's observes and shows in all his movies. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Despite a more nature feeling in the images here, Refn doesn't let go of his reds, even if just in flashes of a world immersed in blood. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the biggest charms of this movie for me was, before watching it, and is, now that I had an outstanding experience with the movie, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0586568/?ref_=tt_cl_t1">Mads Milkkelsen</a>. Rudd and I make a job of trying to watch all his movies, that are among some of my favorites. The one that called my attention to him was <i>After the Wedding</i> (<i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457655/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_25http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457655/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_25">Efter brylluppet</a></i>), by Susanne Bier. I remember seating on the theater chair, looking at the first scenes of this film, thinking how it looked like a bunch of cliches was ahead of me, only to have every bit of my expectations broken by a movie that is so delicate in constructing human relations that we forget everything else except the story and its characters. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In <i>Valhalla Rising</i>, Mads speaks loudly without a single world getting out of his mouth. I've read that he thought the lack of dialogues gave him the illusion of an easy performance. I'm not sure if I believe in this, because, c'mon... Refn + filming in nature + violent fighting scenes = no way it would be easy peasy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This movie is exactly my number - the wandering camera, the careful close-up, the silence. That last I love most, and it never fails to put right inside the story. At the end, a nice a good double in consecutive days of two different but equally stunning and magnificent Refn's take on life now and ever.</div>

PS: The trivia around Refn's movies are always interesting, adding a lot about his way of construct a story and characters and images. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0862467/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv">Here </a>is not different. The bit about the discovery of runes near Delaware is something that interested me for a long time, and this movies meets some of the speculations around it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
PPS: I'm curious about Refn's <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0716347/?ref_=tt_ov_dr">Pusher </a></i>movies, and a bit cautious to reach it. That's my silly fear of disappointment getting on the way again...</div>
