Indiana`s back

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skul – Indiana Jones e o Reino da Caveira de Cristal será este ano a minha prenda de aniversário.
Com produção de Steven Spielberg e o charmoso Harrison Ford  numa invejável forma aos 65 anos, esta será seguramente a última aventura de Indiana.

Enlightenment

No final de Into The Wild, solta-se um UAU!
Sean Penn mostra brilhantemente o paradoxo do regresso do homem ao lado selvagem, em busca da sabedoria.
Agradeço à D a maravilhosa banda sonora e à Ana as palavras de Thoreau:

“I went into the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life…to put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” Henry David Thoreau

Eddie Vedder – Guaranteed

On bended knee is no way to be free
Lifting up an empty cup, I ask silently
All my destinations will accept the one that’s me
So I can breathe…

Circles they grow and they swallow people whole
Half their lives they say goodnight to wives they’ll never know
A mind full of questions, and a teacher in my soul
And so it goes…

Don’t come closer or I’ll have to go
Holding me like gravity are places that pull
If ever there was someone to keep me at home
It would be you…

Everyone I come across, in cages they bought
They think of me and my wandering, but I’m never what they thought
I’ve got my indignation, but I’m pure in all my thoughts
I’m alive…

Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere
Underneath my being is a road that disappeared
Late at night I hear the trees, they’re singing with the dead
Overhead…

Leave it to me as I find a way to be
Consider me a satellite, forever orbiting
I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me
Guaranteed

O olhar de Sean Penn sobre o paradoxo do regresso do homem ao lado selvagem, em busca da sabedoria, é determinante para que Into The Wild se torne num filme de culto. Wow!

Os Bons, o Limpinho e o Feio

Expiação – Das nomeações para a estatueta, a de melhor filme não lembra ao careca, as restantes são justas. Não entendo o porquê de tanta adjectivação para este filme melodramático a resvalar para a lamechice. A segunda parte, com planos demasiado longos, faz com que o filme se torne maçador.
A miúda safa-se, mas tem de rever as boquinhas, que já parecem tique.

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem – Espero não ter muito mais desilusões desta natureza este ano. Um amigo que também é entusista da saga ainda tenta esconder, quando diz que o início promete mas depois cai um bocado (para o abismo, esqueceu-se de referir). Se acabou, não podia ter sido de forma menos disparatada?

4 Meses, 3 Semanas e 2 Dias – Pode ser belo, um filme que aborda o aborto clandestino? Claro que sim. Sem efeitos especiais, entenda-se juizo moral, transporta-nos para a precaridade do ser humano e as suas fragilidades, quando as opções deixam de existir.
Comovi-me com a cena em que a amiga deita o feto na conduta do lixo, não pelo acto chocante para a maior parte das pessoas, mas pela gestualidade, tão sofrida, como se perdesse uma parte de si própria…

Óscares 2008 – Nomeados para Melhor Actor Principal

George Clooney, Michael Clayton (2007) não sei quem é.

Daniel Day-Lewis, There Will Be Blood (2007) Um grande actor e, embora só tenha visto a apresentação, parece um sério candidato.

Johnny Depp, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) Gosto deste rapaz, mas o mimetismo das suas personagens não deve chegar…

Tommy Lee Jones, In the Valley of Elah (2007) Um dos meus actores preferidos. Ainda não vi o filme.

Viggo Mortensen, Eastern Promises (2007) Um excelente trabalho! A cena da luta no banho turco é de grande realismo… mas a concorrência é de peso!
