Wordiezett So much average

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

nuno nuno This is my first ...I simply can not stay silent after seeing the score of this shame..... abusing animals in the name of what?????The Superior Court of Justice of Madrid ordered the "Madrid" to start an expedient sanctioning those responsible for the film "Snow White" for the death of nine bulls during the filming of the film in the bullring of Aranjuez.The complaint in this case came from the "Asociación animalistic Strategy - Platform No Es La Tortura Culture" in July 2011. The Association recorded images which show that during the shooting of the film, were attacked and killed nine animals (cattle breed of deal) at bullring of Aranjuez, in clear violation of the law. In October of the same year, the lawsuit was filed after a resolution of the Deputy Director General of Land Resource of Madrid, strengthened by resolution of the General Director of Environment. However, the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid now forced Madrid to start an expedient sanctioning those responsible for the film, due to the death of nine bulls during filming in the bullring of Aranjuez, without the proper authorization to perform a show public, ie a tauromachian event. The judgment of October 31, quash the decision of the Community of Madrid in filing the complaint.Fonte(source): www.eldiario.es/caballodenietzscheSHAMEFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Armand it is not an answer to The Artist. it is not exactly an adaptation of the brothers Grimm. it is a Spanish story in a wonderful manner. the performance, the music, atmosphere and each scenes are parts of a real gem. Maribel Vertu does one of her memorable roles. and presence of Angela Molina is inspired, delicate and seductive. it is a homage but not only for an age of cinema. it is a homage for a type of art, literature, joy, beauty and love expression. a show, of course but one who broken many frontiers. the end is admirable. the white/black image not a tool but skin for a ball of feelings for who the color is just oppressive. the best part - maybe its special delicacy. the precise use of melodrama. the taste of humor and revolt, sadness and joy. the discover of old bricks who was used for Don Quijote by Cervantes. the frame of cruelty, the force of innocence, the heart of freedom and courage, the slices of authentic mute movie, the silk of dream and pink novel, the crust of adventure, the universal motifs in a warm light.

James Turnbull I had not heard of this film until my daughter who teaches drama, gave me a DVD for my birthday. I think other posts have adequately covered most of the key issues involved with the piece, but for me it was more about the overall concept and the degree of cinematic art, and I don't use that expression lightly, that blew me away. For example, the evil stepmother can send more chills through your bones with a look or false smile than any amount of dialog. Everything about this movie is crafted like a hand made suit.It just works at so many levels. The story is mostly dark but that is how the original Grimm brothers stories were if you drill down through them,it was Disney who made them more soft. But it has everything; greed, evil, love, revenge, redemption and hope. On first viewing the ending left me somewhat baffled. But on second viewing I think I got it. The scene where the young bullfighter Carmen puts her x on the contract is pivotal to the final scenes IMHO. She is still not free from others greed, but there may be a future of love and hope. Perhaps love from unexpected places. This is also one movie, at least on DVD, where it might be useful to watch the special features first. It was designed to be shown without sound with a live orchestra and musicians fronting the auditorium. Whatever, if you are a free thinking person on what cinematic art might be about put this in your collection.

zetes The best film I've seen in a long while. A modern silent film, it's a true visual masterpiece. Words definitely would have just gotten in the way. Based on the Snow White fairy tale (though it's at its best when it's not following that story closely), the film follows a young girl, Carmen, after her mother dies in childbirth and her father (Daniel Gimenez Cacho) is made a paraplegic in a bullfight. As a child (played by the lovely Sofia Oria), she lives with her grandmother. When she dies, though, Carmen goes to live with her father and his new wife (Maribel Verdu, one of the most photogenic people on Earth). Of course, her stepmother is wicked. Her wheelchair-bound father is restricted to his bedroom. She's forbidden to see her father, but eventually she sneaks up to his room, where he teachers her the art of bullfighting. When Carmen grows up (now played by Macarena Garcia), her stepmother tries to dispatch her. She's saved by six bullfighting dwarfs, who, teaming up with the girl in their shows, bill themselves as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (the tale is known to them). This film isn't much about the story, although it is actually quite involving. The images are astounding. It's the kind of film where you could take any frame and hang it on your wall. The three main actresses are stunning. Verdu in particular - man, can that woman wear some clothes! The actresses playing Carmen both have these amazing eyes. I was swept along and absolutely amazed.
