The black side of America: "The Blind Side" and "Precious"


For once honor the Italian distribution that has been very careful to leave room in smears two sensational as The Blind Side (recently published directly to a DVD) and Precious . An exclamation clearly challenging, due to the enormous, disproportionate consideration paid to these two films in America by both the public (The Blind Side has grossed more than $ 250 million!) And critics ( Precious figure in almost all the lists of best films of the year). It is not bad works (although Precious in some respects, it is), only largely overestimated. In addition to specular and only apparently conflicting.


The Blind Side (based on a true story) is conventional, a classic drama with a social background in pure Hollywood style with the usual ingredients lined up one behind the other (the right dose of irony , carefully balanced between pathos and dryness, alternating between drama and comedy el'ennesima celebration of the perfect American family and the importance of education to achieve success) but at least it is not pretentious. Sandra Bullock, with his sympathy and his undeniable charm daily work and is the only reason seguire il film fino in fondo. Nel ruolo della generosa Leigh Anne Tuhoy, madre e moglie perfetta incline per natura ad aiutare il prossimo (accoglie in casa il giovane senzatetto afro-americano Michael Oher destinato a diventare un campione di football) la Bullock ha il piglio giusto, quel mix di ironia, grinta e trattenuta compassione che fa centro. L’Oscar come miglior attrice, però, è francamente troppo.


Discorso diverso merita Precious, Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire . L’incredibile calvario della sedicenne afro-americana Precious ( Gabourey Sidibe ) in quel di Harlem nel 1987 è raccontato con un gusto per gli aspetti most miserable to say the least controversial and morbid, and is represented in a style so rich and overload effects (soft focus, slow motion, photo glossy paper, hand-held camera that would mimic the cinema truth, mounting clips), which contrasts so annoying and grating with the subject matter.
all starts when Precious, obese, illiterate and victims of domestic abuse (father rapes her, and her mother, an alcoholic and unemployed, the beating and torture psychologically) discovers she is pregnant for the second time the father (the first son, nicknamed "Mongo" is suffering from Down's syndrome). It is thus suspended from school and placed in a recovery program per ragazze disadattate nella speranza che, attraverso un’istruzione, possa finalmente dare una svolta alla sua vita. Difficile se il padre che ti ha stuprata e messo incinta due volte è malato di aids e ti ha passato il virus dell’hiv. E se hai una madre mostruosa che ti maltratta oltre ogni possibile immaginazione. L’unica via d’uscita per la povera Precious è la fantasia ed alcuni dei momenti più interessanti del film sono proprio quelli in cui entriamo nella sua immaginazione; e cosa può sognare una ragazzina sfortunata, derisa e vilipesa, se non la ricchezza, il successo, i riflettori del mondo dello spettacolo?


Con un tema del genere ci voleva un rigore ed a feeling that Lee Daniels has not (and was nominated for an Oscar ...). The director instead wallowing heavily to the bottom of misery, treading the hand as possible where common sense would demand to reduce and trying to wrest the truth from his actresses through insistent closeups that have a kind of pornography. And they try to save the cabin (and they succeed) just actresses: Gabourey Sidibe, perfectly expressing the opacity leathery and the immense suffering of Precious and especially Mo'Nique, in a sensational performance that earned her all the prizes in the world. When on stage she can not look anywhere else, so it is impressive and frightening.

The Blind Side: 6
Precious: 5 / 6

Can I Use Expired Whitening Gel?

poetry lessons with Jane Campion


"A thing of beauty is a joy forever. It grows in grace, never pass into nothingness" ( Keats, Endymion )

How Bright Star was able to miss all the latest edition of the major Oscar nominations (other than that, well deserved, for the costumes by Janet Patterson) remains a mystery. And as the Academy may have preferred the last work of Jane Campion's An Education more conventional (to quote the title closer for taste and sensitivity) with a couple of other films much less worthy (read The Blind Side and Precious , which I'll discuss shortly) is a disgrace. Someone tell that to Jane Campion's Bright Star not have had any luck at the Oscars but was immediately inserted into the candidacy Best Awards 2009-2010 Confidential for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress and Best Actor. Well as by the quintet Best My Heart Confidential that includes my favorite games of the season just ended Coraline, Cheri , A Single Man and Lovely Bones .

" A poem must be understood through the senses", "soothes the soul and urges him to accept the mystery" , says the young poet Keats to Fanny neo student during their first lesson in poetry . And it is through the senses that is experienced and understood as a film Star Bright: bright and pure as its title, as the words of Keats, as the face of sublime Abbie Cornish.

The tormented love story between John Keats, orphaned and without income from poor health, and the neighbor Fanny Brawne, embroidery temperament strong, stubborn and independent and muse of the poet in his later years (1818-1821 ) offre a Jane Campion l'occasione per un film fuori dal tempo e dalle mode, perfettamente ancorato nello stile visivo (trasparente) e nel passo narrativo (piano e silenzioso) all'idea di amore romantico espressa nelle poesie di Keats. Il risultato è un gioiello assoluto di misura, rigore e grazia, all'altezza dei capolavori dell'autrice neozelandese, Lezioni di Piano e Ritratto di Signora .

Ma se nei film precedenti la Campion sviscerava la dimensione selvaggia e carnale dell'amore o quella dell'amore come violenza e fascinazione/sottomissione psicologica, in Bright Star è l'amore vagheggiato attraverso la sublimazione poetica a costituire il centro del discorso. Non c'è spazio per la fisicità, se non in brevi fugaci momenti (elettrizzanti) ma questo non vuol dire che il dolore e la passione non siano ugualmente lancinanti. Tutto passa attraverso la magia della parola poetica, che si tratti di un poema appena composto o di una lettera che tiene avvinti gli amanti ad un sogno, una promessa, l'attesa di un ritorno. Una parola poetica che non è mai stata così sensuale e così abilmente tradotta in immagini.



La Campion taglia inquadrature-capolavoro con la luce così come Fanny ricama e taglia tessuti e Keats compone architetture di parole. Arte. Il film non never runs the risk of style and academic year because every image has a density and an interpenetration of form and content that takes your breath away. No movement of the machine free of charge. No time narrative artifice or directing unnecessary. But Bright Star also works great as serene and at the same time painful melodrama about a love of poetry and soaked for, as such, to struggle with the mundane world (the economic condition of Keats which would enable him to marry Fanny, 's dislike of his tutor, Charles Brown, the disease). And as such is dominated by strong-willed heroine and proud to fight to the end to stay close to his beloved.


Ben Whishaw seems born to embody John Keats, but the soul of the film is Abbie Cornish. The Campion has always been masterful in directing his actresses to a level of excellence. And after Hunter, Kidman and Winslet, does not disprove his gift with the Cornish: radiant, measured and powerful, alternatives pride, angularity and openness of the salon first scene ("My sewing has more merit and admirers of scribbles both. And I can make money ", sentenced to Brown and Keats) to the stirrings of love in all its phases, including sweetness, fear, ecstasy and abandonment. Until the epilogue, memorable, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful end of the year (and as beautiful as the race of Nicole / Isabel Archer in the final Portrait of a Lady ): Fanny's reaction to the news of the death of Keats is a scene of devastating intensity (severity and directing textbook) and the Cornish deserved the Oscar just for that moment. L 'image of a hearse in the English desert is never so chilling. And it's great the last close to Fanny who walks in the woods dressed in black and recites verses from the tears of his beloved.


" caterers and beaded with pleasure " silently applauded.

Tony Awards 2010: Actors on Hollywood


After putting the blog in stand-by for almost two months (on the motivations of such a lethargy ask my analyst) am forced to catch up and recap quickly on the major events of the American executive's show I could not make a timely report . And so, after the Emmy nominations, you need a quick post on Tony Awards , allocated at the beginning of June, if only because the ceremony was triumph more than ever the stars of Hollywood.

Catherine Zeta-Jones , beaming and irrepressible, won best actress for the musical A Little Night Music . The need is to enter the Emmy shortlist of players awarded three top prizes of the show the stars and stripes (Oscar, Tony and Emmy). Always wins the first time the Zeta-Jones. And 'the spitting image of ambition, safety, success. And luck. But as a musical performer is magnificent.


Scarlett Johansson withdrew the award for best supporting actress for her performance in A View from the Bridge by Arthur Miller. If you thought that his image had been tarnished confident that Tony will work as good springboard to relaunch his career. A career ready to take flight is surely that of Eddie Redmayne, best supporting actor for Red . Disturbatissimo was the gay son of Julianne Moore in Savage Grace and is in pole position for the lead role in Spielberg's War Horse, scheduled for 2012.


Finally Denzel Washington and Viola Davis (unforgettable in Doubt ) have triumphed as best actor for Fences (best revival of a work in prose). Davis has defeated so Laura Linney (nominated for Time Stands Still), which is seen blowing his nose Oscar and Tony, one behind the other (but can console himself with the 'Emmy win last year for the miniseries John Adams) .

True Blood is the only series nominated who can not tear no applications for the actors (the cast is really amazing, but the script is even more).

Hugh Laurie of House Doctor continues to collect nominations for best actor but the series does not enter the year of the five best. Same thing goes for Damages Season 3 (these days the number has been confirmed for two more seasons of ten episodes each), but Glenn Close (lead), Rose Byrne (supporting) and Martin Short (lead) are all candidates. Kyra Sedwick is nominated again this year for The Closer . Even enough.

Parchment Paper For Lampshade

The triumphal march of "The Kids Are All Right"


Toy Story 3 made havoc and should soon pass the $ 400 million collection. The Twilight Saga - Eclipse was fine (even in Italy, given the season) to confirm a trend, that of neo-romantic vampire, of which the public seems to still not satisfied (see also the success of the serial True Blood TV , whose third season is just playing in the U.S.). The highly anticipated Inception , critically acclaimed, it is already at an altitude of 143 million in just two weekends, while Salt , action movie vehicle for Angelina Jolie debuted last week, gathering an impressive sum of 36 million in just three days.

But it is about to enter top ten The Kids Are All Right , gay indie dramedy cost just $ 4 million, which came out in limited release on July 9 in just seven rooms recording the highest average room of 2010 (72 thousand dollars!) has already reached 5 million fee collection in just three weekends (the Focus has expanded the number of rooms in the second weekend of 38 and 201 in the third and is organizing a distribution to the carpet for the next few weeks). The success of the film was easily predictable, given the triumphal reception at the Sundance and Berlin: Kids today is the best reviewed film of the year, with a percentage of positive reviews on Rottentomatoes of 96%. Oscar nominee Annette Bening assured, Mark Ruffalo , screenplay and best film, while Julianne Moore all dependent on the category in which it could be inserted, Best Actress and Best Supporting.

Still talking about the indie, even the great success of Winter's Bone (3.5 million built for a budget of 2 million), I love (3.2 million) and Cyrus with Marisa Tomei and John C. Reilly (6.4 million).
