Review of Alice

Alice (I) (2005)
1/10
Pretentious and bad, very bad

Warning: Spoilers
After several suggestions, I decided to see a contemporary Portuguese movie. My first! How can I resume the movie? A guy films the route he made in the day he's daughter was kidnapped and collects the tapes, to see them. Between this, he's with his wife, two friends and in the theater (he's an actor). I'm wrong, this isn't a resume. This IS the movie.

The highest moment is the following dialog, between the guy and his wife. Keep in mind that the dramatic intensity is the SAME from the beginning to the end:. "Wife (W): How do they make these potatoes all the same? Guy (G): Huh? Sorry. W: The potatoes. How do they make them all the same? G: I do not know. With a machine? W: OK, with a machine. But where are the smaller parts? G: I do not know ... I do not know ... W: Today, Alice is four years. Did you know? ...(few seconds of silence)... W: I wish I had a house full of people... ...(a few more seconds of silence)... W: They are all the same... They use a machine, do not you think? "

And this is the last film I'll see contemporary Portuguese in my life.
