Alice in Wonderland


Oh Alice, Alice! Who would have said, that you would end up being such a disappointment. The expectation was as fat as Tweedledee and Tweedledum together. Tim Burton leading a world of fantasy was a certain hit. Instead, it turn out to be a movie, that can only be qualified as entertaining.

Nothing blow-minded, not even Mad Hatter, Johnny´s Depp character. The luck of tension makes it quite long. I believe, the script is the main problem. The scenes solve to fast, not leaving time for the emotion to take place. For example, right at the end, everything happens so rapidly and there´s no fear, because when things went ugly, she just killed the beast. The audience can´t think, not even for two seconds, that maybe Alice will lose.

On the other hand, special effects, and the ART are tremendous achievements. Something undeniable, is the power of Burton´s creative brain. Wonderland, is really wonderland, and no other director could do it better in that aspect.
I can only hope, his next film to jump out of the page.

Conclusion: Not so wonder this time.

Two lovers


Life its just a game of love.
Living is loving.

What if we stop loving. What if our future seems to be over, just because love is all gone and out of the picture. The main character feels that way. He jumps into the river, with the only purpose of escaping from the pain that love left.

He fails. Though he´s strong enough to take the impulse to jump, he´s not ready to drawn. He wants to keep on living. So he came out of the water, swimming all the way up to the surface, where two women appear. One of them loves him, the other one doesn't.

Love is a tricky thing. Like the puppeteer pulling the strings, love decided, that Leonard was going to fall for the one who loves another man. Once again, the wound is bleeding hard.

No sense to struggle. A kiss in the terrace roof it´s all he has, and would ever have. The illusion vanishes. Everything that´s left, is the woman willing to love for both of them.


Conclusion: The perfect portrait, of how love can change someones life.

Diálogo

Diálogo de una película que todavía no dejó el papel y que, de a poco, está cobrando forma.

Algo de contexto: Los padres del niño acaban de divorciarse. El hijo está con su padre, es el primer fin de semana que pasan juntos desde el divorcio. El padre está dolido con la situación.


NIÑO
¿Por qué la gente se casa?

PADRE
Porque tienen miedo de quedarse solos.

El hijo lo mira al padre confundido.

NIÑO
¿Y el amor?

PADRE
¿El amor?
(breve pausa)
El amor es la excusa.



Conclusión: ¿Puede haber una visión más pesimista del amor?
