Absolutely the worst movie.
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Well filmed, with good views, but familiar. The story, however, is widely common as a film tape, and in reality... especially in countries of the third World. The actors, would say, that play extremely well, submit to the level specified. The movie to me is not a cliché, grabs the attention of the viewer in most of the time, but it is not something unseen or unheard. Мusic is selected correctly, nice clean speech and present good sound too. The evaluation ratio at the time as an average is deserved, so I recommend especially the audience with wider views and perception of justice, freedom, understanding and love ! And strong hope so in the shooting of the entire film has none injured Animal under any pretext.
Conducta - Behaviour This film starts with powerful images and the authentic energy of the young talent Armando playing Chata. This film is not just a actual insight view of the Cuban social reality and its change, this film is much more. This film is statement.First it needs to be mentioned that the performance of the actors especially the play of the young actors is absolutely world class. Congratulations to the casting department.The story, or better the multiple stories that are told during this 108 minutes fits. Every narrative makes sense. No minute is lost. Writing, acting, shooting, music - everything was created on a very high level.But why is this film a statement.This film offers for everyone and everywhere on this earth a lesson to learn. This lesson is created around Carmela, the teacher. It is a story of courage against cowardice. A story about real and authentic humanism against the brutality of indifference. The counterpart of the moving behavior of Carmela is played great by Silvia Águila in the character of the social worker Raquel.This universal lesson is: It is easy to follow rules, laws and prejudices. Everywhere and in every social system we have those that hide themselves behind political correctness, adjusted unit and titles. In the name of nice labels as for example child care they bungle into the life of other humans. A bad but widespread behavior.A great film. Highly recommended.
Alonso Ruiz Palacios's Behaviour may seem to be about classroom deportment — whether student or teacher — but it casts more interesting light on how Cuba should be conducting itself in its current transitional period.When the elderly teacher Carmela becomes too engaged with the underprivileged students Yeni and Chala she runs athwart of the school authorities and is pressured to retire. When administrator Sonia suggests she has taught too long, Carmela asks whether she thinks the government has been in power too long. That would make the film seem reactionary, pro-Castro and opposed to change.But there's more to that picture. Yeni marks a classmate's death by posting on the class bulletin board a Catholic card that he had given her. Sonia wants it removed because the government inspector would condemn the school for such a religious display. Carmela insists on leaving it till the girl is ready to remove it. She values the student's emotional support over the government's policy on religion. That suggests a change from tradition.Sonia herself is presented as a woman of modern style, wealth, slickness, in short, perhaps a harbinger of the looming capitalism. Her values are efficiency and modernity, even if that disadvantages the school's troubled charges. As she represents the incoming Cuba and Carmela the outgoing, then the film's concern may be how to preserve the best of the old Cuba — its education, medicine, socialist ideals — while still admitting the new and progressive. Thus Carmela is supported by two former students now on staff, and a young black woman she trains to continue her values.The film also mobilizes the feminine sensitivity against traditional machismo. Yeni insists Chala dissociate himself from his mother's partner Ignazio's dog-fight business. She encourages the feminine sensitivity he shows with his pigeons. As a corrective she assigns him Jack London's White Fang. Carmela insists Ignazio accept responsibility for both Chala and his druggie mother, significantly reducing the man's swagger. As the school is obviously a microcosm of Cuba, Palacios is balancing social realism with some pointed reflections on how Cuba might preserve the best traditions and move away from the worst.
This was the opening film at Sydney Latin American Film Festival (SLAFF) 2014. What one to choose! Amazingly well done. We may have seen the story done one way or another, but the situation this is set in overlays such complexities. Encompassing all the stories was all life, not aspects of it. Also, the energy of the young lead actors was amazing. So strong. Boy/girl stuff far beyond the limited scope of typical films. These are tough people for ones so young. Totally impressive, let alone both so physically attractive for their ages, especially in the faces. So expressive!Incredible work considering the subject matter.So, we see it. What are we going to do about it? How do we return sovereignty to countries, and exchange such cultural diversities?Thx, SLAFF, for presenting such an incredible film!
