Singularidades de uma Rapariga Loura (2009)
Awkward and not believable
I believe this movie attempts to reset Eça de Queiroz's 1874 short story of the same name in 2009 Lisbon.
The movie came off as rather awkward and unbelievable. The elements are quite ludicrous: guy falls in love at first sight, uncle (most ridiculous of all characters) rejects the relationship for no reason at all, girl goes out with him behind her family's approval (even though she had no idea who she was going out with). You never connect with any of the characters. Anyways, the story goes on, too slowly, but no less strange.
Tarja Branca (2014)
Good inspirational documentary!
This is a Brazilian documentary that, in many different aspects, shows how important it is to dedicate time to play, just as kids would. In fact, it also discusses how harmful it is to prevent our kids to have free time to play, or even available time to do nothing at all.
While you watch the movie, this idea (so natural but yet somehow forgotten) that people live their lives without much joy keeps coming back to you, it grows on you, and it actually kind of bother you. On the other hand, you leave a new person, encouraged not to work less, but to work harder and more efficiently, so that you can make a difference, but also afford to include (much) more play in your life.
The picture is turned to a Brazilian public; however, people most certainly relate to this global problem.
