Emilio Puente (emiliotejera)

First part of the movie is quite funny, with Meryl Streep in a very amusing role (I like her when she makes comedies, not so much in other kind of roles). However, in the second part, the movies walks mainly by a close-to-drama tone, and it looses lot of the original fresh air it gave. A question to my New-Yorker-friends, is there so many people in New York who go to psychoanalyst?, I thought only friends of Woody Allen did, ha, ha.

For me, the real film that shows that you can make a good historical movie again. Tell us the story of Hypathia, the last great scientific of antiquity, a woman that defended that philosophy and knowledge were something important, model for feminists and scientifics. Takes us to Alexandria in the time of Romans, shows as the famous Lighthouse and the Library, and talks mainly about religious intolerance. A movie against fanatism, then and ever, in which we can find lots of things in common with our present time. Very intelligent movie, and a song directed to stars.
