Nowhere (2023)
Physics of Nowhere
Just some comments on the physics of the movie:
- Some people said that a container should immediately sink. This is not fully true. Many containers will sink but others could float for long periods (even months). There are many studies on this. However, containers usually float when they are full of items that float (maybe, if the container was a lot more filled of tupperwares). That would added more realism to the situation.
- Mobile coverage: There is some mobile coverage inside the sea, that could go by around 30 kilometers. Also, there is maritime coverage where close ships have repeaters (that could justify the intermittent coverage). Finally, is this in the future? Satellite coverage?. However a metal container is like a Faraday cage, so it will have very limited coverage everywhere.
- Sea currents: Unfortunately, the currents in the North Atlantic will, most probably, send the container back to the Spain as the normal current is from north to south at this part of the sea. Only if the container was enough at west, the north-atlantic current will send the container to Ireland.
Leaving apart these details, Anna Castillo´s acting is great (as always). We can try to ignore these physical details and concentrate in the acting. The movie Gravity was a lot worse from the physical point of view.
Vampirina (2017)
Don't believe the hype!
Vampirina script fails to give a realistic view of vampires.
Acting is flat although some secondary actors are remarkable.
Never Let Me Go (2010)
For the ones who don't understand
This a really nice movie based on a masterpiece book from the Nobel prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro
Some people asked why they do not try to escape from their destiny (like in the dumb movie The Island). No, it is not about this. Although it could be seen like a clones film, this is not the target. They cannot escape and they do no try to do it because all the Kazuo literature is based on the destiny you cannot prevent.
The entire idea is a metaphor of our existence. We are going to die and we cannot do anything to escape from it. We can cry, run or try to find tricks to escape from the death but we are condemned. We have to admit our destiny and make it happen in a proper way and with honour.
Any Kazuo's book is like a nightmare. I truly recommend to read his books. If you like cinema, you can also see The Remains of the Day, also based on one of this books where a Butler sacrifices all his life without love, without mourning his father or without doing anything more with his life because he is the butler, this is his work and he has to do anything to do it the best he can. Nothing is more important than that
