Gaspar Noé is a hard type, very hard. In some things is a genius can seem a clown but in others (like Marilyn Manson about image).
Truly I recommend mainly his first film “Seul contre tous” and the final shot (plane) of “Irreversible” mounted with the music of Beethoven really matchless.

Gaspar Noé looks interesting. Apparently he is part of a ’school’ called: New French Extremity

At first, I thought this was research into how far laziness and complacency could be pushed. But no, it’s a ’school’ of film directors!

We’re going to try for 4 episodes this week before Sunday. Last week’s Ep. 12 and this weeks three. Wish us luck. Hope we can make it.

Internal Affair’s is my baby! I love it to death, again maximum otters, was disppointed in The Departed because it lacked conviction and the tension of being discovered…

Munich is my film need I say more, maximum otters, why because the state of Israel needs to defend itself and will go to any lengths and I find that commendable somehow, because Munich is based on real events, a friend of mine has termed what Eric Banners character goes through as ‘Check point syndrome’ where your humanity divides in two, the enemy has no humanity and you care desperately about your family, two seperate worlds, and the more you do the duty at the ‘check point’ the more dual your sense of humanity, basically it is a sickness.

5 Minutes of Heaven will I suppose get maximum although I haven’t seen it yet, because again we see the need to find closure and that closure could restart the war again…

Incredibly all the films are based on real events and in reality motivation is the extension of revenge is the economic market that can sustain it indiffinitely ( Internal Affairs)(5 minute of Heaven) the lack of legal precedent in protecting women’s rights (The Brave One) As for Israel it it en exceptional state and unique law to protect itself ( Munich)

as long as revenge is played out in real life we will find brillant films…

El miedo esta pero como todo, el tiempo pasa y las personas cambian. A veces no cambian pero no hay que temerle al cambio porque eso se llama evolucion y si no evolucionaramos seriamos primates. Ironicamente las mejores obras suelen ser las menos esperadas, y con “el arte debe hacer feliz a la gente” me refiero al propio artista, ya que el receptor puede bien no ser el mismo o simplemente no estar, desaparecer. Pobre Vincent Van Gogh que termino muerto en un placard, pero creo que esa es la lucha eterna del artista, “crear o reventar”.

Sin miedo Rob, no te quedes en el closet.
El tiempo pasa para todos.
Estoy segura que ese disco nuevo sera grandioso.
