The Figo Affair: The Transfer That Changed Football (2022)
Lies and money!
Everyone explainis "their truth". Whereas Veigas states that Figo knew about the agreement, he denies it. Florentino says there was no contract, Futre and Veigas say otherwise. Figo did not want to leave even though he says that everything was about "feeling the respect and love from the club but he was offered FOUR times what he was making and Futre ends up confessing that he told Figo "money is the most important at the end".
Figo was an idol, was the capitan of a team, had a three year contract and he blackmailed Barça. You can tell he tries to "excuse himself" but what he did was despicable and in Madrid his is one of the "galacticos", one of the bunch. For us is THE TRAITOR.
He lies, Florentino lies, and arguably the worst president in Barça history seems to be the only one to tell the truth.
La sombra de la ley (2018)
Global criticism, good Spanish action!
The movie takes place in Barcelona in early 20's. The movie begins with an espectacular what-it-used-to-look-like overview of the Catalan capital. The films is beautifully shot, and details are well taken care of, such as fashion, cars, street cars, building, decorations, and even the beginning of the construction of Sagrada Familia, however the director takes too much joy into twisting the camera. By the same token, some fighting scenes are confusing by the lack of stability of the picture.
The plot keeps the audience intrigued and lets them judge who the good guys and vilants of the story are.
What the movie puts unabashedly on the table is a social denunciation: who wants war and why.
