Memento (2000)
Dear Christopher Nolan
Dear Christopher Nolan:
You´re not very famous here, in Spain. I´ve never heard nothing about you and your films. You were a completely strange for me. No cinema shows your "Memento" in Granada (I think a cinema in Madrid and another in Barcelona did it).
I was a happy man until I saw Memento. One of my friends, in one of this crazy nights at home, recommends us to hire Memento at the video. We were surprised, we only want to have a nice time and have a laughs watching one of these stupid teenagers films. Finally, we accepted and took memento at the videoclub.
Since the first second, with that marvelous start (I can´t remember such one in other films) we felt very atracted by the film. The running of the story, the splendid direction of the film. Nothing is out. Everything has his explanation. That ending...
Some of my friends said that he understood nothing. I laughed. "You are silly", I cry to him. I thought I had understood everything. Then I watched the film again, and I was confused. "Did I understand everything?". I watched it again and again. "Did I understand everything?"
Simply, dear Christopher Nolan, fascinating.
Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997)
This cruise is not a bus
Jan de Bont wanted a continuation of the magistral action movie "Speed". That was a bus!! But he also wanted an outstanding box-office without burning his craneo. Of course, he made one of the worst pim-pam-pum movies. What an insane nightmare!!
Everyone does certainly a bad role. The story is terrifying, the carachters are simply, dull and insipid. The actors falls like leaves from a tree. Action without sense, I think.
Speed was a great film. You felt like you were fixed to the chair. You swat with them. You cried with them. You felt in love with Sandra Bullock in that tube final scene. You kissed her. But, now, in that strange movie, you only want to sink and being in another place instead watching that... thing. So, remember, don´t forget to take the bus!!!
Martín (Hache) (1997)
Relax and enjoy it
Martin(Hache) drawed the relationship between a father (played as a giant for Federico Luppi) and his son (beautiful Juan Diego Botto). The story runs towards Madrid and Buenos Aires, mixturing perfectly the lifes of four people completely misunderstood. I love this film, because I do. But what I love the most is the dialogues. Scenes that nothing have to do with the movie shows the magistral scripters selected for it... But I´d rather prefer the original version, it´s purer than English one. Perfect directed, perfect performances, Perfect script (with a capital P). Just sit down, relax, and learn. You´ll really enjoy it.
El milagro de P. Tinto (1998)
Please, laugh!!
It´s one of the most funny films I've ever seen... It´s an unreal story perfectly drawed by good actors. Javier Fesser paint a magic world, mixturing present, past and future. Every scene is a magic moment. Simply laugh!!!
