El rey del Once (2016)
There's a reason why it's so poorly rated
Movies are something difficult to get. It's 80 minutes of essentially nothing going on. There's a plot, hidden, between the dialogues. But the plot not only is ever clarified but it rewards no develop'ment to whatever is supposed to be happening. We see this man, reconnecting with the place he grew up on, remembering what it was like to be, how it all works, but not doing anything whatsoever other than going along with time. He connects to a mute, religious woman who really doesn't have a story to tell, until at the end when she just refers to an importat character of the plot as 'godlike'.
While watching it, I didn't really know what I was looking for, or waiting for, other than the so called Usher, and everything ender so fast, so numb.
Muerte en Buenos Aires (2014)
2 hours to uncover what we already knew
2 hours of straight gay cops bumping on each other until the end of the movie reaches and no more gay stuff can fit in. And it ends.
Infancia clandestina (2011)
One of the best scenes I've ever seen
I don't feel like talking about the movie a lot, rather than saying that I genuinely found it entertaining as of heartbreaking and tough: to see a kid not only has had a normal childhood and a regular parenting, and also doesn't really know how the common world works, but lives in a cartel-like undercover runaway suspense film that he sadly calls life. And that just rots within time.
The combo between main character and his uncle, in B&W its to my opinion one beautiful scene. Tough, meaningful, sad, and creative as well as visually pleasing.
XXY (2007)
Started my argentinian films journey with a tough one
The entire premise is simple and you can deduce what will happen probably until the end (if you know the definition of XXY of course) but it's always interesnting to see what's the deal. The movie is rather confussing, since it feels so much like a film to give a message but, at the end, I was truly confused about the message whatsoever. She understood what she actually wanted at the end but she had to go through a terrible scenario first, to be calm with her ideas. But she never really had a lack of help, or no one to talk to. So it all felt like, she was getting kind of harrassed by her surrounding for not being clear of who she is. She suffers, the guy who she basically raped suffered, her best friend suffered, her parents suffered and overall, it lead to what seemed to be the most obvious decision. I get that it tries to make up for a posible scenario rather than a typical one, but it's hard to swallow. When it comes to filmmaking, the art of the film is the lightning. All important takes rely on how much lightning there is over the physical presence of the character in matter. It helps to decypher emotions that even tho feel obvious, they turn to be all the other way around. Acting is a passive success, with little matter to the characters' expressions and little significant dialogues to go through. The srcipt is catchy, and it's written realistically, which is something harder than what most think. So are the ways for people to express to adversities: Silent, not too aggressive due to the scenario they were trapped on. A complicated film but definitely appreciated watching, I might repeat it just to see how I handle the experience a second time, and maybe get to understand something I missed. A 7 does justice, for great technical work, an effective roller coaster of emotions, yet a film that at the end, felt empty and pointless for some reason.
Boku no hîrô akademia: One For All (2018)
I couldn't stop crying
I loved it, true heroism, true power.
Also loved seeing both coming to an end, leaving an open door for those on both hero/villain sides to grow and develop the show themselves. Broke into tears after so much brave, so much hope.
