oh this blog!...
trying to do something useful out of it
i can classify some of my favorite films!
if you happen to read this...
please consider these films on your list!
i will try to post now & then more about films
that i think are good films
for a start:
2 films from young director Darren Aronofsky
π or Pi- Faith in Chaos
a claustrophobic-as-a-migraine but very brilliant noir film
a superb brainiac thriller! please don't miss it
the photography is black & white, high contrast and a bit noisy
the music, a great IDM (intelligent dance music) soundtrack!
& the damn headaches! that i so much relate
and Sean Gullette's acting
π trailer
"Mathematics is the language of nature..."
"There will be no order, only chaos..."
-------------------
and the second film by Aronofsky
Requiem for a Dream
(a great link here with a very tricky well-done official web-site)
after watching the film, I couldn't stop thinking,
and sulking, and being depressed for a couple of hours...
still, this is one of the best films I have ever seen on human addictions
it is heart-breaking because it is truthful
a very well-done film with great actors
beautiful Jennifer Connelly
and over all you must watch because of
Ellen Burstyn acting!
she won an Oscar as leading actress
for this film!!!
Requiem for a Dream trailer
another Requiem for a Dream trailer [worth watching!]
I relate this film with Trainspotting because of the thematic
and Trainspotting was a great film too, very shocking, sarcastic...
yet... Requiem for a Dream, I feel goes even deeper
the sarcasm becomes irony
the intensity of how easy a dream could be broken
excellent photography and cinematography
great soundtrack too
another must-watch film! strong, excellent!

I really liked Faith in Caos. The migraine sequences are brilliant. And also a great original story. Photography is beautiful, and the fact that it's a b/w modern movie is just simply great.
Requiem: not enough to say for one of my top 5 movies of all time. Hmmm... have you noticed there is a very similar sequence in Requiem and in another J.Connelly movie 'Dark City' (the one in the seashore, standing over the dock)?
I remember me screaming in the theater while the final sequence was happening. Awesome film.
This 2 came together in bundle.
Oh yes! and the website is fantastic!
yes beto, I watched Dark City, but on TV, it was different, huh? and never such a great film as these 2...
I watched π in Mexico Cityk, actually with people you know! heh heh, one day after work in ECE I went to the movies with Mony-Gaby, J. Shiraishi, and Anna... tough crowd, huh? π was showing as part of a film festival, we had NO clue what kind of film it would be... we all loved it! :)
yeah yeah the website is as trippy as the films! glad to see you around here, can't wait for the next round of movies, so many! so good! ah gotta love films!
