El chico que miente (2011)
A lovely trip
This film was a nice surprise. I watched it without really knowing what it was about, and it is, I think, best to watch any film like that. It is a journey of self-discovery, loneliness, survival, relationships, coping with life... The boy is on one hand quite mature, but on the other, he is just a kid trying to find something important to him. Really glad I watched this film and hopefully anyone who watches it will see what I saw and love it as well. Also, the music is fantastic! It splendidly follows the story and makes you feel all kinds of emotions. I cried quite a bit, have to confess. I simply cannot believe that no one wrote a review for this yet! I really, really loved it.
Attack the Block (2011)
Smart, refreshing and entertaining, old school horrory movies vibe
I loved this movie! It was refreshing in every single way: Not all characters are perfect nor are the good guys completely good but you get to really know them and even understand them. There is no love story which is quite nice (to remove prejudice, I am a girl but I am sick of having to go through life being shown in movies that every single situation is a potential meet-your-future-husband moment). The aliens were explained quite nicely as well, no unnecessary dramatic stories there, it was quite concise and clear why they are there, what they want and why any of the movie plot is happening. I can see why the critics call it a future cult movie but I absolutely cannot see why users here are bashing it so much. This movie was deeper and more entertaining in its hour and a half than most newer movies are in two hours or more. And another thing. There is a review here I read by a teacher or some other who hated the movie because she feels it sets a bad example for kids because of opening-scene-type behavior of the main characters. I feel I have to absolutely disagree and praise this movie for not running from harsh realities of the world but for showing that you can always choose to be good just as you can choose to be bad. It shows that you can still be someone's hero even I you were a complete f***-up before. It shows that if you are or were problematic, you can make things better (all it takes are some aliens and bravery). But seriously though, it's a good movie. I watched Assault on precinct 13 a long time ago but this movie with its vibe kind of reminded me of it, in that that you realise it is a movie, it is in its little movie world but you are still able to fully...in the lack of a better world, feel it. Trust, bruv, 10/10!
