“Children of Men”

I have always appreciated the movie “Children of Men” for various reasons. Aside from the technical aspects of the film and it’s obvious brilliance - I’ve always found this story to be immensely important with it’s sobering social commentary.

I do not know what the future holds for humanity in real life as we know it, but I do certainly pray it does not share any resemblance to the dystopian imagery of this bleak & tragic story. Oh! and if you have NOT seen this movie - this video is spoileriffic so yeah - don’t ruin it for yourself.

Love this film - my favorite thing Clive Owen has done (that I’ve seen thus far) and same for director Alfonso Cuarón (although I haven’t seen all of his work either). Absolutely Brilliant!

entry #6: Roma dir. Alfonso Cuarón The first rule of film school is “never write a film about yourself”. Well, Alfonso Cuarón fucking begs to differ. We often tend to forget the importance of “heart” in every screenplay. By “heart” I mean the love of storytelling, and what the story says about the person telling it. Alfonso Cuarón shot, edited, wrote, directed, & produced Roma. This fact, alone, goes to show how much passion was put into the making of this film. It resonates with those willing to experience the journey Cuarón sets for us. That being said, the pacing is truly unique. I’ve rarely seen a film so focused on keeping things slow, but, at the same time, so focused on getting to the point. To show this on “Netflix”, I believe was a very important move by the producers. This made the film accessible to a home audience, emphasising the film’s atmosphere: a “close-to-home” feeling that comes not only within the execution of the film but also with our own personal nostalgia. To watch this film in the comfort of our homes is like looking through a photo-album of yours you’ve never known existed. You start to look at the photos and revisit memories that made you in every way, shape, and form. This film is a VERY personal film. And regardless of whether or not you’ve experienced anything like the events in the film, it rings a bell to us. The audience almost has no choice but to relate & connect with the film. Roma is a film about family, friends, love, pain, abandonment, tragedy, &, most importantly, WATER (no joke Cuarón puts water in all his films: STREAM of consciousness!!!!). #roma #alfonsocuaron #netflix https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsk4ylNltmI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mccjr4qxhsku

Roma (2018)

AA.VV. "Roma" es una película extraordinariamente bella y ambiciosa. Fotografiada, editada y dirigida por el propio Cuarón, deviene instant classic del cine latinoamericano. Mexicanísima y a la vez universal. Mucho resonó en mí aquel libro formidable de Bryce Echenique, "Un mundo para Julius", donde también se explora la relación entre patrón/servidor en un ambiente acomodado. Pero no es aquí la Lima de los 50 sino Ciudad de México en 1970 y 1971, que acaba de vivir Tlatelolco y el Mundial. Y aunque hay cuatro niños, toda la historia se cuenta desde el punto de vista de Cloe, la muchacha india que sirve en casa de Doña Sofía. Cuarón se adentra en el mar profundo de la memoria (la suya y la de la ciudad y el país de aquel entonces) y logra que lo íntimo y lo público se traduzcan en una historia neorrealista, visceral, que igual que aquel cine italiano incluye dosis de tragedia. A medida que avanza, la meticulosidad con la que se describen ambientes y comportamiento social va adquiriendo mayor espesor dramático pero también ese tono surrealista en el que Fellini fue maestro. Alcanza al fin un clímax que me tomó por sorpresa y resultó insoportable. Salvando esa escena, de la que se podría discutir su duración, el resto son todas loas para esta historia de mujeres resilientes en las que ya no importa la clase sino la capacidad de sobreponerse. Idealmente hay que verla en pantalla ancha. Solo en una sala de cine se apreciará el formidable trabajo de sonido y la belleza de su fotografía. Admite verla más de una vez, así que viene bárbaro tenerla disponible en casa. No hay una sola pista de sonido compuesta para la película. Cuarón buceó en el cancionero pop hispanoamericano de los 50s/70s, pero incluyó también los hits del momento, que suenan en radios portátiles, fiestas, parques de diversiones, tocadiscos, autos y en la calle. Nunca la música toma un protagonismo total, siempre es algo que está muy abajo en la pista de sonido, detrás de un colchón de sonidos urbanos.

Reacting to Alfonso Cuarón winning Best Cinematography for Roma during a commercial break. When we cut back to the Oscars it’s a Mary Poppins Returns musical number. #alfonsocuaron #bestcinematography #oscars2019 #gordonwillis #cinematography #cinematographer #thegodfather #marlonbrando #academyawards #academyawards2019 #romamovie #vitocorleone #theprinceofdarkness #francisfordcoppola #cinematographers (at Dolby Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtzF6SsFAwk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pxlcz63b911v
