Casa de Areia (2005)
Beautiful and poetic
There is no time, date or happening in remote places. Places so remote that resembles the outer space. So remote that without knowledge of physics time begins to stop but people still become old. Some times decisions in life take more than a generation and the story of all those people still is sewed with the same thread. This lovely movie reveals all subjects in life from civilization to remoteness, isolation, survival, racism, soul rebellion and the love and comprehension of all decisions made. Round beautiful characters acted by this two enormous actresses, the timely music and the sand, one of the main characters of the film. I can see that modern movies tend to forget a great ending. This movie will recover for us a GREAT ending. Highly recommended.
Holy Smoke (1999)
Feminine, Masculine and the search of of self
When I need to watch a movie for several times it gets to my nerve to understand why.
This movie I find courageous. You find all mixed themes like age, gender and transient beliefs all together exposed and not judged.
Don't judge, you are human, we' re born and we need to understand why are we here (on earth, in reality) but with all gender and age complexities.
It is hard not to fall in love with Winslet character (or the actress anyway). Her young wisdom, the cynic view of her bourgeois family in middle class Australia gives this youngster a sudden wisdom easy to get attached to.
Harvey Keitel makes a superb strong yet stupidly weak and sensitive macho. But women get their lower ego with Winslet's character cousin. A wanna'be lowlife star digger that can't see the world ahead, a married suburb disaster.
Sorry to get into the story, but this movie is made for a longer reflection than the previous comments I've read.
I highly recommend this picture, specially for people who finds that moment when you look back and feel you have not done nothing with a real value.
It is also a good movie to invite a younger date. Jejeje movie joke
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
The mind and the verge of the soul
First, it's important to make clear the correct plot where a couple is trying to erase each others record from their memories but they keep finding each other every time and falling inlove, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, or falling inlove, a simile.
While you see the movie the story goes parallel to the thinking process. Complex at first and enlightening most of the time the picture combines memory, soul and virtue and all the complex heritage of growing up in family. It lets the viewer take the movie out of the screen and leave the cinema with the movie.
Carrey delivers a superb performance that made him avoid the "Oscar". His humor mixed with sadness and all the complexity of the character made me understand that he is a great actor (before, Truman Show made the audience give a serious look at this actor) and performer.
Kate Winslet, again, delivers a full featured character, a "girl" from town, this "Shakespeare" actress can do it all.
The supporting roles are excellent, specially with a shiny Kirsten Dunst that returns to her kinky yet insightful characters.
A great insightful crazy and round film that has to be watched several times.
