Recovery Time After Brazillian Wax

Tiresia. (Tiresias). 2003


Bertrand Bonello


There is an old maxim that sentence "There is nothing new under the sun" and a long list of stories that are projected through the silver screen almost always true: an abundance of accommodations, alternate versions, the recursive remakes (refried, in good Castilian) and the modernization of ancient themes, like the one at hand for now.

Basically and historically, human beings have similar impulse moved, so return often universal dilemmas with individual variations in approaches or circumstances. Immaterial substance that makes us human beings has been around forever. Probably culture that best reflected this type of approach is Greek. His legacy has deep roots and is the remnant more alive than we have.


Therefore, and considering the weight of the Hellenic tradition and cultural richness is totally blasphemous impromptu address or mythological subjects, similarly abrupt adjustment to contemporary. Psychological profiles, emotional entanglements and the interference of the immortals created the most diverse complexities, so reducing them to simplistic is incoherent and absurd. (Probably the Cacoyannis filmography is very close to the quality, care and improvement required)

Discuss
remember a soothsayer Tiresias means best known in Greek mythology and detailing in a variety of ancient writings such as "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles, "The Comedy" Alighieri and "The Odyssey" by Homer. It was a blind individual, according to the different versions, experienced the feeling of being a man and woman at different times of their existence. In the trances

identified by such influential authors specify that using his talents of magician warned Oedipus about the horrible, incestuous conspiracy in which he lived, as well as guiding Odysseus on the route that should continue to return to Ithaca, and also was visited by Virgil and Dante in the eighth circle of Hell, the soothsayers, where the prophets walk with your head back and tears drown their backs.

direct reference to the movie, and speaking without knowledge of the facts, seems attractive because of its unusual argument, one can read on the back of the box: "Tiresias, an extremely beautiful Brazilian transsexual, lives illegally in the Paris suburbs . Newfoundland compared to a rose is so perfect and his attraction to her to possess sequestering ending completely. Private hormonal treatment, Tiresias is daily becoming a man, until the horror rip leads to Newfoundland eyes and let her in the woods for dead. "Bonello

evokes, then, the legend of that guess (blind and wandering between the two sexes) used to represent a transsexual ultra inhabitant of Paris. The film begins to lose when the subject who has kidnapped her revenge out his eyes, and without reason in the way, acquires the ability to see the future. It is at that moment when the protagonist realizes the error he had lived, so he decides to stay in a people until it becomes the main attraction, disclosing the dark designs of the times to come.

The review cited verbatim is a hook because if a total remains at that level, without reading other reviews, that can not acquire it. Basically everything is a vile deception: the dynamics and development of the film is amateurish, the plot fits in force, the performances are somewhat mediocre, the logical order of ideas is broken and the main argument splits into two unrelated segments. I think the story adapted or remotely operated no central argument.


As the reader will realize significant, the story is not in any way. Rather it is a morass of ideas tied without order and suddenly.

Curtain For L Shaped Windows

Requiem for a dream. (Requiem for a Dream). 2000.




Darren Aronofski

Based on the novel by Hubert Selby, the film presents a vision strikingly crude and probably part of the use and abuse of drugs. To accomplish this task, the remarkable young American director does not skimp on the pain and trauma that will be involved with their protagonists. Dan

history to life four individuals, three of them with equivalent features and a totally dissimilar. Everyone has ambitions and aspirations but the way through which they want to obtain is heterodox, simplistic and crude. However, despite the banality surrounding his existence, is relatively easy to identify with them because basically they are gentle. At the end of the film the circumstances force them to abandon such an epithet for the black spiral which are drawn deeply change its nature makes little maliciously.

perspective that is armed with the tape suggests that the construction of personal dreams on crooked foundations is not an appropriate idea, and specifically link the future consumption and resale of drugs seems to be a suicide. The main idea can be summarized in a parable about the consequences that will inevitably attract the acts committed, whether for better or for worse. The end does not justifies the means and that is too light, sometimes the low road is the most catastrophic. Therefore

Aronofski film is eventually attacked. Her moral vision on the use of drugs is not well seen by everyone, it seems that the filmmakers responsible for trying to scare the viewer by showing the worst-case scenario.

As in his directorial debut, "Pi: order from chaos", there are recurring images throughout the film, well, music plays an important role in emphasizing the emotions of paranoia in the viewer and the condition expectations about what will happen in the plot. Sometimes playing with landscapes full quiet when the round is a commotion, also uses photography to engage the viewer in psychological or physiological processes that live performers.

Aronofski Two years before he wowed critics with "Pi" which presents a hidden universal order that is preset to be accessed with the mathematical language. In direct opposition - with speculation about his possible through participation as a director of the movie "Batman Begins" - and after years of absence surprised the film world with the churro called "The Fountain" (2007) where, Despite a large budget and a proposal interesting visual, unspeakably bored all those who had been conquered with his two earlier works. Nobody is perfect.

Hyundai Elantra 2005 Severely Overheated

Mulholland Drive. (Dreams, mysteries and secrets). 2001.



David Lynch


David Lynch is probably the darkest contemporary filmmaker and certainly one of the most disturbing. His films are a strange combination of unreal characters, quaint, human and stories that inevitably will end up going into the more twisted extract the unknown dimension.

Transmutation of characters, the prophetic, and eroticism is the raw material and transforms models that artist. The ordinary becomes an unintelligible mess that has evolutionary consequences in the film conception of the observer.

There are two schools of thought around the figure of Lynch: The first view is great, which is The Director and that is too deep to be fully understood, the second believes that it is presumptuous in the extreme, creating slop and passed by overwhelming talent. The gentle reader should have its own point of view, but particularly I am a staunch apologist for the former group.

is impossible genius goes unnoticed, no matter how or how much groundwater is being marginalized. In the case of Lynch is the artiste impacting, causing reactions and enhances the heartstrings of moviegoers. Too much emotion is the constant and therein lies the reason for the instant apprehension of the spectator (my spirit still shudders to remember the desolate scene " La Llorona de Los Angeles " Rebekah Del Rio, and his commanding voice) . Requiring

dominant idea or a linear plot would be too childish. Why do that when you have an imagination so prolific source of all paradox? Tied to the convention would be like cutting the wings, as a suicide-in every sense of the word.

That was precisely what happened in "The Elephant Man", "Dunes" and less on "Blue Velvet." He went to the movies too ordinary when it was the precedent of "Eraserhead." The natural consequence was mass acceptance and glorification of such films, but on the other hand, for the more thoughtful, was a hole that could only fill "Lost Highway" or the aforementioned "Mulholland Drive."

"Dreams, mysteries and secrets" was the title in Castilian, or at least in Latin America. Although this label may seem ridiculous or unreasonable, reflected in the fund and accurately, the broader aspects of the plot. The term "dream" is for Surrealism as elegantly executed the second half, "mysteries" because at the end of the movie one has not understood anything and "secret" because it is a mystery the director's original interpretation.

film is definitely at its most grim but so is at its most exultant. Art should be a like a sledgehammer to snatch our attention, we transformed with a blow of emotions and to open our horizons to the extent not dreamed of posarlos because we ignored their existence.
