That was an excellent one.
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Foot travel in the mountains of a strange country with a guide. Not your romantic espade! Great bodies in shape, great panoramas, not much of a story though. Another I watched the second half in accelerate. Good if plenty of time.
I get what it wants to talk about: the fear of finding out the person you love most is not the person you thought he or she was. The fear of finding out you are by yourself after all. It is a worthy subject to make a movie about, so if you are interested in exploring this idea, there is a great movie called Tourist that you can watch instead of this movie.I'm very forgiving of artsy movies because I assume the directors must know more about the art than I do, and I'm a snob so I suck up to everything artsy. But there is a limit to being indulgent. What unfolds in this movie is hardly emphasizable. Since there is a much better movie that talks about the mangled idea of The Loneliest Planet much better, I recommend others to avoid being sucked by misleading accolade and seek worthier entertainment.
I watched it because Gael Garcia Bernal have never played or directed a movie that I didn't like...First of all, sorry for my English...The problem in this movie is that there is many non sens !A couple that is so close that they don't even need to talk to understand each other... it looks like deep and healthy love ! She seems to be someone simple and easygoing to never complain in a difficult trip like this..I don't get the incident, he'd protected her, and when you don't speak the same language, you can only talk with your eyes, in this situation!So I can't understand her behavior. Instead of taking care of him or even ask question if he is fine, she doesn't care... but when he hurt his leg with a stone, she asks twice if he is fine ! I don't see where is the point ! true lovers don't behave like that... it's like you see another woman suddenly and it could be logical if the incident was different but in this case, it's not understandable for me at all !You just realize that he is always here for her and she is obviously selfish and awful but this is also not understandable, because it's the opposite of her personality at the beginning of the movie !So it's really improbable for me to believe that Gael Garcia Bernal is happy with the result ! As his work is always perfect with deep meaning !
This is a timeless story of life and death and love. I was sincerely curious to see why the talented Gael Garcia Bernal was playing the role of a quiet yet playful, sensual and adventurous Mexican-American traveling with his girlfriend through Georgia; An hyperactive eccentric, and cultured, red haired eastern European/American. At the beginning of the adventure. you can tell how they are melted with each other, they are sensual and playful. Their bodies find joy in every corner of the trip. Their intentions to travel into the unknown seem to be aligned. After they leave the urban sprawl, nature seems to have slowed their need for sensuality. The director tunes into Nature as well. The respect for long silences, gives the spectator an opportunity to appreciate the slowness and continuum of the ecosystem. The water, the erosion, an abandoned old house, the sound of a rock falling down the hill, the change in flora and landscape. This deep silence can be disturbing in the era of constant stimulation and brain noise. The purity of the film's message is appreciated in a time where we are bombarded by cultural biasses and empty dramas. The film allows the viewer to receive a simple yet profound story of life and death. It depicts a multi-cultural journey into the phenomenon of the clash of civilizations. An alegoria of a the hunter-gather phenomena. Of survival of the fittest. Of the need for nurture and human connection. And the present gender and cultural archetypes that are yet present across cultures.
