The Young Pope (2016)
A trully cinematic masterpiece
Sorrentino's "The Young Pope" is a trully cinematic masterpiece.
The complexity of human relations, the ambiguity of the characters, the lights, que songs, the dialogue.
All put together on a sort of "desorganized organization".
We feel ourselves loving and hating, just to love and hate again.
We found ourselves with tears on our faces and laughs on our mouths.
The doors of imagination, the unconfortable "grey area", where nothing is perfect... The way the creators adress the inherent complex of Human Nature is just impossible to put on words.
Jude Law, Diane Keating and Silvio Orlando present us with an acting masterclass. Photography and light management are also perfect.
Trully believe this series will grow in recognition over time, as more people are able to discover it.
My first 10 out of 10 review. Enjoy... And be happy.
O Natal do Bruno Aleixo (2022)
If you are familiar to Bruno Aleixo world, you will like it
If you are familiar to Bruno Aleixo world, you will like it. If you are not, you can feel it a little bit odd.
Bruno Aleixo was in a coma after an car accident. In an attempt to help him regain counscience, Dr. Henrique, an psychologist, tries to induce various stimulous that will make Bruno make a trip into his past.
Almost all the action takes place on Coimbra General Hospital and Bruno's own mind.
A good transition from the plot of the first Aleixo movie.
Good acting and scripting, but sometimes undermined by a low pace screenplay.
That said, if you are an "Aleixo World" fan like me, you will appreciate the film. If not... Well... Guess we will never know.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
A huge potential
The first season of LOTR: The Rings of Power take us back to Middle Earth, more than 20 years after Peter Jackson's movies. This time, all the action are set during the Second Age.
The first episodes are focused on character development and introdution.
The spectator is transported to Khaza Dhum, Lindon, Numénor and other mighty places of the Second Age. The visual element and the cinematics is simple astonishing, and we can really feel the might of Middle Age atmosphere.
When we talk about the main storyline and the performance of some of the characters, some moment's were great... some others were not.
For copyright reasons, the producers aren't allowed to fully use The Silmarillion , and some free creativity and a non-Orthodox approach is oftem used, what may disappoint some Tolkien works hardliners.
However, in my opinion, the show is well conducted and absolutly not 'heretic' as some reviewers pose.
Some ways still wide open for the second season, and I would say that the show had an huge potential and ways to get even better.
Acting: 7
Photography: 10
Writing: 6,5
Potential for second season: 10
Overall: 8/10.
