This
weekend I have gone to the cinema to see some of the several films nominated
for The Academy Awards. I have seen Interstellar, Big Hero 6, The Theory of
Everything and Birdman. First of all, I have to say that all these productions
are great and made by hard-working of every person involved in them.
I’m
going to do a little review of the films. Don’t worry; I’m not going to post
any spoiler since I want you to watch these films. If you have done it, you can
post a comment and say your opinion about the film or films you have seen. I
hope you liked them as much as I like them.
INTERSTELLAR
This
is a great production of Christopher Nolan. Nolan is famous by making films
such as the Batman trilogy or Inception. All his films are made
carefully and have more that they apparently have.
This
film is… I don’t know if someday I’ll find a word for it. It’s a Nolan’s film,
what more can be said? Apart from the special effects or the breathtaking
photography work, the plot and the characters are fantastic. However, it hasn’t
been nominated for the best picture of for the best director. It has the
nominations for Best original score, Best
sound mixing, Best sound editing, Best production design and Best visual effects. We could say that Interstellar is the “Gravity” of 2015. Nevertheless, Nolan’s
film is a lot deeper that the other one.
One
of the most impressively thing is that he knows exactly when to make the music (by
Hans Zimmer) sound and when is necessary to be a silence. He knows how to play
with the spectator’s feelings. There are brightly moments with a powerful
intense and strength. You can really feel the characters feelings, not only
because the directors and producer’s work, but also because the amazing play of
some great characters like Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, David Gyasi, Jessica Chastain,
Mackenzie Foy, Matt Damon, Michael Caine, John Lithgow or Casey Affleck, among
others.
I definitely
recommend you this film. You have to watch it!
This is one of my favourite characters of the film (and it will be yours, too)
TARS!!!!
BIG HERO 6
This
is a great film by Chris Williams and Don Hall. If you like Marvel films, you
should watch it, since it comes from Marvel comics. SPOILER ALERT!! (You can see a cameo of Stan Lee, have you seen where?? Maybe you should
go and make a portrait of your family…)
This
is totally recommended for all kind of children. It isn’t the typical easy film
for them. They may not understand everything, but it is a fantastic story about
overcoming against adversities. Sometimes we lose, but this film show that we have
to stand up after a life blow, and try it again and again. Find our place in
the world isn’t easy, but we have to never give up and move on.
Maybe
most of you don’t like it due to the fact that it’s a “children film”, but,
anyway, I recommend you to see it. We all still have the children we were
inside us, don’t forget it!
THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING
As
with Interstellar, I have no words for
this film, it is just awesome. The work of the James Marsh is brilliant.
Furthermore, the characterization by Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones was
flawless. It is difficult to act as a real person, but what they do wasn’t act;
they were Stephen and Jane Hawking. Not surprisingly, both characters are
nominees for The Academy Awards as best actor and actress, and he won a Golden
Globe last week because of this film.
This
film not only shows the full-obstacle life of the couple, but also the way they
defeated all their personal and professional battles. It is based on Jane
Hawking’s book, in which she talks about her personal life. Some people could
think this is a romantic/drama film, but the loving part doesn’t make it such a
romantic film, it makes it more realistic and more humane.
If
you haven’t seen it yet, I don’t know what you are waiting for, but you should
definitely go, right now (even Stephen Hawking admit how great it has been
done!).
BIRDMAN or (THE UNEXPECTED VIRTUE OF
IGNORANCE)
I
admit that it is a strange name, but the great management of Alejandro González
Iñárritu and the actors and actresses performances have already earned them two
Golden Globes last week. Moreover, they have been nominated for the Oscars in
several categories.
It
is about an actor (Michael Keaton) attempt to become famous in Broadway. He had been really
famous by a cinema superhero saga called “Birdman”, but that period of his life
ended. The overcoming of this man will make him take strange decisions and the
pressure of the premiere can make him lose his concentration. In addition, he
has to deal with an ex-druggy daughter (Emma Stone) and a vain second actor (Edward Norton) who will make
the pressure bigger and bigger.
With
an unexpected ending (or maybe not), the spectators could enjoy from all the
film trying to find out how he is going to move on and get his goals. The
performance of the actors is fantastic with other famous names like Naomi Watts
or Lindsay Duncan, the brilliant cast doesn’t disappoint. You shouldn’t avoid
going to see Birdman, one of the Best
Picture Oscar’s Nominees.
If you have seen some of these films, post a comment and tell us your opinion
