La grande bellezza (2013)
Cinema has lost its beauty
La grande belleza follows the current flow of cinema. The beauty in this film is set in front of the camera and the camera records it, either a beautiful image or a beautiful quote. This is a pornografic way of making beauty in cinema, every sequence is beautiful in itself, it doesn't depend on the other sequences. Every sequence is a climax, there is no more construction, this is, in my opinion, the end of cinema, as we have known untill a few years. Beauty in cinema had always been made with the language of cinema, with the estructure of elements that didn't have to be beatiful in themselves but they were beautiful when they were put together. Seed to collect. Good references and good intentions, but poor cinema value.
Flag Day (2021)
Good intentions, a minor Sean Penn's Movie
All the movies directed by Sean Penn are very strong and powerful, with tough and realistic carachters. This one is not an exception, but it doesn't bright the same. Maybe Penn has intended to make a perfect vehicle to show his daughter's capacities (she is the best of the picture), I don't know. Maybe the fact that is based on true events doesn' help at all. The plot is correct, the mise en scène is also correct, Sean Penn-style, but the assembly doesn't work, the film get worse from the midddle till the end. Many years have passed since Into The Wild in 2007, I hope he can give us another master piece in the future.
