The Passion of the Christ (2004)
Jesus made in USA!Jesus super splatter!!
There was too big expectations for a really boring movie like this. But at the end everything seems to be just blood and nice shoot scenes of unlimited violence wanting to shock the viewer, but it doesn't even shock people when there is no story inside and the characters are totally empty and flat, and you know the blood is not really blood but just ketchup. You are waiting for a movie that tells you something new about Christ, something new about humanity and christianity and you get this piece of sadistic images, maybe It works with the American public, always so thirsty of blood and torture, but it doesn't work with the rest of the world were people are no so interested in seeing how a man is beaten and beaten hundred times, just unjustified violence, it's no wonder that in the USA millions of people went to see this movie already at the opening day, well, millions of religious puritans payed just to see their hero to die again for their sins, all the American sinners are now clean again, they can continue being as hypocrites as before and continue their war politics around the most poor countries on the world. And maybe the film doesn't portrait at all the life or the last hours of Jesus, but it is an excellent portrait of what is it about the American "anti-culture". In the movie the Romans are portrait just like ancients U.S marines, imperialist soldiers well uniformed and very hard guys, very well trained troops, some parts of the movie it's just as watching another stupid Vietnam war where the soldiers don't speak English or Vietnamise, but Latin and Aramean. Jesus the poor guy is our little hero but for the Americans the Romans are even cooler because they were just doing their job, and they are not so bad after all, the fault it was of the Jews, they were the guilty ones, not the good Pilatus man, he was just doing his best.
That's the only idea of this very simple minded film, the Jews are the murders, the Romans were a strong empire (like America), and Jesus was just there in the cross to see all this people torture him. Couldn't be a movie more boring, childish and dumbest? What is coming form the USA next?Buddha goes to the Korean war?? Sorry mates but this time the violence doesn't make a good movie, maybe with a little more of sex next time. If you want to see a good movie about Jesus Christ take a look at Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ, and don't waste your time and money in bad movies!!
El otro lado de la cama (2002)
Total waste of time and money!
Difficult to know the reason why somebody would like to make a movie as dull and tasteless as this film. Is not funny but sad to see how an empty story goes just showing characters and scenes without any meaning at all.The best is the end just because we can just forget quickly this silly and sleepy film. The worst is the music, awful songs! Maybe they tried to copy Dancing in the Dark? The Spanish version? Is it this a version of the Dogma in the Iberian style? Whatever this movie try to be is a total failure.
