Tapas (2005)
Funny, sad and tender
Tapas is a film, funny, sad, tender... There are different stories in a neighborhood of a big town. The story of the barman, the most pathetic and funny character, and his relationship with Mao, intelligent, patient, and almost perfect. The story of Cesar and Raquel, a young man and a middle age women, and at the same time her relationship by internet with another man. The story of Mariano and Conchi, the most sad situation. The story of Opo,the friend of Cesar, with tree basic things in his head, sex, drugs, and Bruce Lee. Good people doing bad things. The loneliness, the fear to the illness, the hope, the egoism, the meanness. Good dialogs and very good actors.
The Virgin Suicides (1999)
Remember when you where a teenager
When I saw this film, I felt something different, it was like a return to the past, and the way of feeling of the teenagers. When everything is or absolutely fantastic or absolutely terrific, when life is only the present, when nothing is under your control. The fotograph of the film is very beautiful, like the girls of the family, like the things we idealize. This is not an action film, is an emotional film so what happend or why is not the most important. Why do they that? Because little things are sometimes a big drama. When some people says that is slow I thing they must be in a hurry for something, there are things that you can enjoy only little by little.
Lone Star (1996)
A great movie
I saw this movie one month ago. I never had seen a John Sayles' film before but, since then, I have been searching information about the director and I have bought three DVDs of him. I think that this is an universal film, because everywhere you go you could find the same troubles with people who is different from us in some way (culture,colour...) and between one generation and the next one.The investigation about the skull, the love story, the relationships between fathers and sons, the secrets that everybody keeps, the feelings of the three communities, everything has a his own intrigue. The characters are very well defined, and Chris Cooper is absolutely fantastic as frustrated and sad middle aged man, son tired to be less than his father in the eyes of the community, persistent lovesick. You can feel all the love that John Sayles takes in these characters, and some kind of poetry in the way that he explains the story.
