skyline, o es la peor pelicula del 2010 o tenia mucho sueño

ayer denoche vi esta plelicula, tenia bastante sueño y/o la pelicula estaba demaciado mala. Entonces decidi volver a ver parte de la pelciula, para refrescar mi memoria...yyy noo la pelicula sigue igual de mala. La sinopsis de la pelicula es esta, segun yo claro:

aliens roba cerebros humanos, llegan a la tierra para, raptaronos y robar cerebros. Humanos luchan con el poder del amor y lanzamisiles. Tambien todo pasa en Los Angles

Esa es la historia en tres oraciones. Ya tienes una idea de una pelicula mas o menos ,ahora mezcla actuación nivel epic movie y tienes skyline. siii asi de malo es, solo tiene una parte memorable, un slow motion moment bonito pero de alli es una porqueria.


Cualquier pelicula cuya premisa contega las palabras aliens y cerebros humanos,nunca termina bien, nunca la vean. Es una pelicula serie B moderna, una que me daria verguenza estar entre los creditos, haber invertido o relacionarme de cualquiermanera exepto criticandola. esta pelicula se merece morir en el olvido gracias a su guion, actuacion, historia, narativa y engeneral todo, es una horrible pelicula y gasto de dinero estupido en una mala forma de entretenimiento.

Ademas algo que me molesta mucho, es que no clarifica que diablos pasa, porque quieren los aliens los cerebros?, cuales son sus objetivos?, porque clichemente los militares norteamericanos y el amor son los salvadores ? como se llaman los personajes ?que quieren aparte de sobre vivir? ademas de personajes detestables y tontos que hacen malas decisiones, osea esta pelicula es error tras error tras error de todo lo que puede tener un error, nisiquiera tiene accion decente, es la peor pelicula que he visto este año la peorrr. no la vean exepto.... no.... solo no lo hagan.

Splice, que asquitooo

Ok en esta película hay algunas cosas que perturban;
1 combinación de humanos con animales (usando genética)
2 violación con aliens
3 otra vez violación con aliens (si pasa 2 veces)
4 incesto/violación con aliens (verán que si es posible)
5 mala trama, mala actuación
6 mal diseño de set


No me gustó (como verán). En definitiva hay poco pudiera gustarle a alguien. Cuando comienzas a verlo parece interesante, hasta agradable pero después ...... no.... solo no....
Es como esos tragos artesanales que te ofrecen en el oriente. Derepente estas en una carpa donde hacen jugo de caña. Y después el dueño de la carpa pregunta al grupo, ¿quieren algo de tomar? Y todos dicen un "si gracias, todo bien". Acontinuacion el tipo saca un valde de pintura, cubierto con una funda de basura del piso...repito del piso. saca el valde de pintura del piso, piso de tierra. En una carpa en el oriente. Y bueno este mismo tipo saca dos vasos uno para el y uno para el resto. Tomas porque ya nada. Tomas. Y de allí prefieres solo no acordarte.

Algo así es la experiencia de ver splice, es solo fea. La historia es desagradable, no tastefull gore solo desagradable. Un diseño de set terrible, actuaciones pesimas, pesimas de verdad. Alguien con un pesimo gusto cinematografico hiso esta pelicula, una pelicula llena de huecos, cientificos, de historia, y de sentido comun. Es fea les va a dar asco. En general no la vean, no hay sangre con gusto, no hay lenguaje cinematográfico, ni efectos, nada que no haya visto antes. solo mejor no la vean ya?

The Holy Mountain , que trip mas loco....

Buscando entre los artículos y curiosidades del internet, me pongo a pensar si existirá algo asi llamado los experimentales latinoamericanos. y salto un nombre, Alejandro Jodorowsky. y bueno como toda persona hipper conectada y tecnofila le googleie. mi reacción fue esta: 1 mira es cineasta 2 mira es chileno 3 cineasta de culto 4 buscar cual fue su película mas admirada/reconosida 5 descubrir que es holy mountain y ver el trailer 6 estar interesado y descargarme la película 7 verla 8 derretirme el cerebro.

La película alcontrario de algunas modernas no se necesita drogas para disfrutarla, las drogas vienen ya dentro de la película. toda la película es un trip meta fisico pyscodelico metaforico para ponerlo en corto. bueno vean el trailer:



la película critica todo, de una forma deliciosa, todo deverdad desde la educación os turistas la religión, los juguetes, el alma humana, la existencia misma, todo. y lo hace de una forma espectacular. la película es una film religioso un film que trata todas las religiones, todas las creencias. un film que recomiendo aun que no pienso entenderlo del 100% pienso que si entendiera certeramente el 50% seria mas que feliz




lo siento me parecia mas que adecuado. para los que la han visto y quieren saber mas http://thestygianport.blogspot.com/2009/12/holy-mountain-albedo.html esto sera un orgasmo de Alejandro Jodorowsky

(From this point onward the information on Ecuadorian film becomes unreliable, based largely on opinions and little facts.)

























CONCLUSIONS










When did film change, when did it become art as a part of our culture from being a road side attraction? Because it wasn’t that way in the start and it didn´t change all at once, it needed a landing, sort of like a hive mind planning. It needed rots it needed branches and it needed a background to grow fruits.

Who was the landing? It was a mix actually something in between TV or the creation of national free TV and the two movies that were right for its time in the 80s; “La Tigra” and “Los hieleros del Chimborazo”.

The creation of TV brought the image to the people, to see something that moved something that happened and was you didn´t need to go the theater you could be at home you could watch at home. So, the idea of image made for the people was taken into account and rationalized as a part of everyday culture. TV was there and it stayed in people´s heart.

But, what about “La Tigra” and “Los hieleros del Chimborazo”? They represent the two sides of film in a modern way, the documentary in its Andean mountain ice cold form and a fiction in its Manabitan form in “La Tigra”.

These elements helped form a "landing” so to speak for the mind of a movie that changed everything in Ecuadorian cinema. It changed the ways the film in Ecuador was looked upon from within the country and from without. It changed the conception of the economic principles of film in the country. It tipped the scales I´m talking about “Ratas Ratones y Rateros”.

The film that united the coast and the mountain land, the middle high and low class in one film it was the first purely Ecuadorian movie. It had everything from every range of the country, every part, every type of person, the good the bad the father and the mother. It was all there, if you were en Ecuadorian, you had a character that was on your side politically economically and geographically.

The film was the first of its kind to have financial success in Ecuador alone and international success in the film festival circuits. In Ecuador, it had 10,000 spectators in its first weeks.

The film paved the way for the next Ecuadorian films. It made people conceive of the existence of film in the country. Movies like “Cuando me toque a mi”, “Qué tan lejos” or “Los Canallas”, have fallowed the way that “Ratas…” paved for them, imitating the neorealist Italian approach, by trying to touch effectively every segment of society to have the same effect as “Ratas…” of everyone having someone to root for.

But we are just at the tipping point, a great tipping point, the generation that will work in the 10’s will be great, they have no fear of failure , always they have had an existent Ecuadorian film industry, they lived and were young when “Ratas…” was premiered and they have know and probably seen the current mini hits like “black mama” or “Cuando me toque a mi”, so they know it is possible.

Pulse in 2005, the INCINE opened under the head Camilo Luzuriaga and has been teaching people the art of filmmaking, teaching that new fearless generation, the new generation of middle class hippies who use apple computers wear designer jeans and talk politics as if it is a soup opera, they are the future like it or not. Film in Ecuador changed in 1999 and will never be the same.

Introduction




Film making in Ecuador is a thing. It starts in 1901 in Guayaquil when using Edison´s "vitascope" that projected images of (in a very god fearing way) "Reproducción de las escenas de la Pasión y Muerte de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo" and also "Los Funerales de la Reina Victoria" along with takes of the Paris exposition of 1900. Film making back then was very much like a freak show.It was a thing of marvel and magic, a thing that competed next to dancing apes, midgets and beard women… nothing but a circus attraction. Not art. But, film in Ecuador wouldn´t take its title as art until the late 70’s and early 80’s. Only then will Ecuador start to shed roots to grow a bit because true art film is not produced in Ecuador until 90’s with "Ratas, Ratones y Rateros" witch are the first successful attempt at art, film art.

So what happened along the way?



















CHAPTER 1
1900-1950








In 1910 in Guayaquil the first Ecuadorian film society is born It was called "Ambos mundos”. They distributed and produced, with funding from Francisco Parra y Eduardo Rivas Orz, which I can only assume as there is no info on them that they were rich "guayaquileños" who loved film. They show film in Guayaquil at a place called "Edén" and in Quito in the theatre owned by "Instituto Mejía". In these rudimentary stages of film creation that it´s time allowed "ambos mundos” they had a project to create the Ecuadorian film industry and promote film creation. This project was a failure due to the murder of Eloy Alfaro.

In 1922 José Ignacio Bucheli films in Quito "Las festividades del Centenario de la Indepenencia". But in august 7th of 1924, the first argumentative full length feature film "El Tesoro de Atahualpa", was produced. This film, produced by the Ecuador Film Co., was directed and financed by Agusto San Miguel, a young Guayaquileño. Augusto San Miguel is the sole filmmaker that created the mini golden age of Ecuadorian cinema at a time in Guayaquil Ecuador when 6 films were made in a span of one year and 4 months by Augusto San Miguel.

Then from 1924 to the ending 80’s nothing really important happened, just small events that had little weight to an overall picture.

In 1929, a western is filmed in the city of Ambato in a very crude and rudimentary way. In September of the year 1931 the film " Guayaquil de mis amores" produced by Ecuador Sono Films is produced.

In the next years in film, the films become more elaborate and have a better technical side, mostly thanks that films are vastly made to co-productions with other countries, mainly Mexico and Colombia.

In 1934 is the grand opening of Quito´s "Teatro Bolívar" and in 1936 is finalized the construction of the theater/cinema "Capitol". In 1937, the swish Rolf Blomberg films his first film in Ecuador "Vikingos en las islas de las tortugas Galápagos".



Dramatic pause for lack or relevant content apart from a few unimportant cinemas opening and closing, no important films were made, and then we go onto the 50s...




















CAPTER 2

1950- 2007s









The "guayaquileño" Gabriel Tramontana opens in 1953 film progress labs that help a great deal to develop and push film forward for the next 40 years. In 1954, the "cuencano" Agustín Cueva, a reporter, dose a series of documentaries about various cities of Ecuador. He films "Cuenca en colores"," Ambato en colores", "Quito en colores", "Riobamba en colores", etc.

In 1956 in Quito the "Cine Club Quito" is born, a son’s project of the "Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana" and it starts its first activities directed by the writer " Jorge Enrique Adoum".
In Costa Rica, the Ecuadorian touristic film “Un viaje a Galápagos” made by Gabriel Tramontana wins an award. From 1958 the first soviet film festival is held in the "Teatro Universitario de Quito".

In the 60’s starts off with the premiere of the film "Los guambras" (1961), a coproduction between the "Industria Fílmica Ecuatoriana" and the Ecuadorian ministry of education. In 1966, "Universidad Central del Ecuador" founds the Cine Club Universitario under the wing of Ulises Estrella. The group states that it tries to create a specialized group for cinema debate. In 1967, the "Municipio de Guayaquil" awards a short made by Alberto Borges called "Pasos y a Elio Armas por el corto Carbón". The following year (1968) the same guy Alberto Borges wins with the film "El Cristo de Nuestras Angustias".

In the 70s, thanks to the petroleum ¡boom!, the production of various shorts will be possible, also in 1975 the "Encuentro de Realizadores Cinematográficos Ecuatorianos" takes place in Guayaquil. In 1977, the "Primer Concurso Nacional de Cortometrajes de Cine y Televisión" takes place, no record of who won is kept. In 1977 the "II Encuentro Iberoamericano de Realizadores Cinematográficos" takes place, the contest organized by the "Centro Municipal de Cultura de la Municipalidad de Guayaquil". At this gathering, the organization ASOCINE loosely translated to the Ecuadorian association of film makers, is created.

In 1978, The department of culture of the city of Quito with the help from 8 embassies, organizes the first international film festival in Quito called "Primer Festival Internacional de Cine Ciudad De Quito".

In 1979 the "Unión Nacional de Periodistas" or the national union of journalists produces the short "Hasta cuándo Padre Almeida", based on the local legend of the outgoing priest. Also in 1979, the documentary "Chimborazo" is filmed along with "Testimonio Campesino de los Andes Ecuatorianos", codirected by Fredy Elhers, Rodrigo Robalino and Tom Alandt. That year also, the "Primer Encuentro Nacional de Cineastas" (the first national congress of film makers) takes place to try to help the first "film law" pass that was proposed by ASOCINE.

The 80s start off nicely thank to the passing of the first Ecuadorian film law which states that all public spectacles will be exonerated by 100% of their taxes(Registro Oficial Nº 104) . That helped to kick start the production of 20 feature films and documentaries.

In 1981, Camilo Luzuriaga premiers the short film "Don Eloy", which gets second place at the First Ecuadorian film Festival, organized in Quito. The same year the "Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana" (Ecuadorian house of culture) and the Cine Club Ciudad de Quito(film club city of Quito) organize the "Primer Encuentro Andino de Cineastas", the first summit of Andes film makers, the event ends in the creation of the National Cinematec, as a son project of the Ecuadorian house of culture.

Many films get produced in the year 1983 through 1984 like :"Tiag" (Igor & Gustavo Guayasamín),"Tequiman" (Jorge Vivanco & Cristóbal Corral) "Tiempo de mujeres" (Mónica Vásquez), "Luar Trocas y Un lagarto verde" (Fundación Guayasamín), "La casa de Bernarda Alba" (Santiago Carcelén).


In 1986 again a summit named "The first summit of Ecuadorian film makers" takes place in Azuay which, according to record, is actually quite productive compared to other summits having made accounted for the production and diffusion of film and film making in Ecuador. Also in 1986, the Cinematec gave a workshop on Art film for children. The workshop produces the short animations "La niña de los patios" and "Cochasquí", made by children who attended the workshop.

Also in 1986, the " Cinemateca Nacional del Ecuador " with funding from the UNESCO starts a project to save ecuadorian films. About 2 hundred items from video to film, ranging from 3 films from the 1920, are transferred to a secure format at the Cinematec of Sao Paulo, Brasil.

In 1987 the first generation of Ecuadorian film makers travels to Cuba to study film at the "Escuela Internacional San Antonio de los Baños" in Cuba. Among them is Tania Hermida.

Fullmetal Alchemist, alquimia filosofia y misterio

Todo es un engaño. Desde lo primero que vez, hasta la misma composición física de los personajes, es un engaño. Todo no es lo que aparenta, todos no son lo que en verdad son. Cada personaje de la serie tiene mucho mas que lo que revela a primera vista. Esa es la impresión que me dejo FMA (Fullmetal Alchemist).

Este anime muy muy vacan y muy muy exitoso vale la pena verlo por muchas razones. A primera vista la trama. Es excelente, no hay como decir mas todo esta tan bien planeado hasta el ultimo detalle. Cada pequeño detalle, cada grano de arena lleva a un clímax excepcional. La segunda, sus breves y muy precisos toques de filosofía. Por ejemplo, la tan recurrente ley de intercambio equivalente:

"Nothing gained is without sacrificing something of equal value"

"no puedes obtener nada sin sacrificar algo de igual valor"

Les dejo con esto y nada mas solo digo que vean el anime y todo lo que tiene que ofrecer es muy bueno . perdonen por no hablar de la trama pero si lo hago o digo mierdas o hago un spioler denso.
