I really miss the times when I wait the Wednesday or the Saturday and go to the cinema with my grandmother.
For years back I feel that I go to the cinema to only eat something of popcorn or to see the movie’s trailers. That more like it of to go of the cinema actually is to see the trailer in the begining, I believe today that will can leave the room cinema after the trailer. Lately I feel that to go to the cinema is to throw the money to the garbage.
Ironically my favorites movies the saw in dvd or video, not in the cinema. Like “Requiem for a dream”… the inmortal soundtrack with the inmortal point of camara and edition, it would have been worth the pain to see it in the cinema.
Speaking about perfect ends and perfect beginnings. The final of “Requiem” is frightfully shining.
Two days ago, I saw “Revolutionary road”, because month ago I saw the trailer and the trailer I feel the more intense and beautiful trailer better narrated in this last time. But… the movie is good, the music is simple and… scary… a perfect leimotive. Altrough of everything the story look so previsible, inevitable, like a bomb of time that from the beginning seems it is going to explode. But the most important of the movie is the climax, not the story, the story too, the subjet is very “danger” “un-hollywood”. It’s feel the simple and the fatalism of the life in every second, is breathed and it is listened to but it is not seen. Only in the face of Kate Winslet (excellent) or Leonardo Di Caprio with the face of the eternity child… but… I don’t like is filmed, I think that could be better. The essence is breathed, it heard, but it is not seen.
Still that I love this movie. I think that an investment of the violence and lest smooth treatment over the most important scenes could be better. But… is like a part of everything. To know that a person hurt a great agony and close the door or look for another direction for not look at it and follow with the “normal life” because is more easy, altrougth the this normal life it isn’t a good life, and it means the us hell.
Aun asi la amo. Creo que una inversion de violencia y menos sutileza sobre todo en las escenas mas importantes hubiese sido mejor… aunque es como una parte del todo. Saber que una persona sufre absolutamente la agonia del otro lado y sin embargo, cerrar la puerta o mirar para otro lado y seguir con lo cotidiano porque lo cotidiano es lo mas facil aunque lo mas facil signifique nuestro propio infierno, significa optar por vivir el propio infierno.
As if hell was a normal place.

great episode! always love the MFTE episodes!
heres a little idea for a spin on MFTE.
when you have a chance, i think you should cover some movies that successfully bring in previously well known songs in – you know, im talking about the thrill you get when you hear iggy pop in trainspotting, bowie in life aquatic, etc, etc.. you know what i mean!
the requiem track is epic – love it!
The entire Oldboy soundtrack is fantastic. Same with Requiem for a Dream. Clint Mansell’s score for The Fountain is also amazing.
Another marvellous outing on the goodship Showloon.
Super impressed with these musical suggestions.
‘Sunshine’ especially sounds epic.
Got a “Wants” list with these three now on it.
Good call @Eleo, ‘The Fountain’ is pretty special. Beautiful movie, beautiful music. ‘Xibalba’ is a favourite of mine. Have you seen it, Tomas?
What a gem this blog is turning out to be.
Great to find like-minded people out there, spreading the good news!
