Movies in which the reactions or opinions of people who was beside me improved my feelings about the movie itself.

Documental style, intentionally ugly, although the rhytm is not very intense, it has the value of truth itself, with no ornaments

Tod Browning made this film with all real actors with physical deformations, who worked for circus to have a relative normal life. And that is the great succcess of this film, to tell the story of these "monsters", with lots of humanity, as people with its own dreams, moments to get fun, ways to develop rutines despiste their diseases, codes, and, of course, anxious to revenge if they are offended. Because what you do to one of us, it´s done to all of us.

Next time, I will see it in Spanish, not in Turkish. That way, maybe I will like it even more. Well, seriously, I watched it in Turkish!, so I can not make a great appreciation from the film. It didn´t seemed to me a wonderful one (but as I said, I could not understand the dialogs, just to deduce it, however, I think I and my ex-girlfriend did it quite well), but I assign 3 stars because it had a few powerful scenes, and because it treats about a very intense item in a country where is particullarly important to fight against these kind of costums. The plot is about a woman which is raped, so his husbands ask someone in the village to kill her because she has lost her honour. However, he is not able to do it, and escapes with the girl to the city. There, they will try to get a new life, finding interesting people, but danger continues being close to them...

What I liked about this film was 1) the excellent actors for musketeers, 2) the change in the relations among them: De Artagnan as an enemy, Porthos comic and suicide, Aramis adquiring a critic role that we never suspected in the most superficial of the four...

I am going to make a spoiler: don´t you think the film itself is a metaphor of India? Not only because, although nobody wanted to distribute it, they got 8 Oscars and worldwide acknowledgement. Just look at the central topic of the film: the main character -as India- has crossed through many difficulties that now are useful to him to answer the questions and triumph.

The Hangover (2009,  R)
The Hangover
Funny. You get some laughs with it. Nothing more, but the movie doesn´t want anything else. So, you´ll have a good time. Better if you see it with your pals.

El Secreto de Sus Ojos (The Secret of Her Eyes)
Great! Incredible! Enormous Campanella! He takes a lawyers-thriller (Darín remembered to Al Pacino in his best times) and to a I-can-not-breathe-while-looking-it he adds wonderful touchs of poetry, tenderness and incisive humour. Although the rhytm is slow, you never get bored, as the script is incredible. Amazing sensation!

Really funny. Unforgettable, tender Ustinov.
