Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

adonis98-743-186503 A mysterious man emerges from the Argentinean rainforest to help a poor farmer and his daughter, who are threatened by a band of mercenaries hired to force them to sell their land. take over his property. El Ardor is a film that has 2 really good actors Gael Garcia Bernal and Alice Braga unfortunately the film is not good it's not interesting and also it copies other movies like Rambo and Tarzan for some reason our main hero is weird and has a pretty weird tattoo in his back it is simply not an original movie with an original plot also the Mercenaries were very laughable the only reason i will give it an 3.5 out of 10 it's because some shots with the tiger and Bernal and the locations were actually very cool other than that skip it.

gradyharp Pablo Fendrick wrote and directed this Argentine film that tries to be something more than barely tolerable but gets lost in what seems like an endlessly slow moving uncomfortable night at the movies. The rain forests are beautiful, the scenery is fine, the actors are fine, but the story cannot seem o decide whether it is a myth or a political statement about the gross disparity between the wealthy and the poor in South America.The chief attraction is Gael García Bernal (Kai), a mysterious man who emerges from the Argentinean rain forest to help a poor farmer and his daughter Vania, who are threatened by a band of mercenaries hired to force them to sell their land and take over his property by setting fire to their farm and community. They capture Vania (Alice Braga) but Kai rescues her and we are left to discern what the future will hold for these 'creatures'.Fans of Gael García Bernal will get to see a lot of him here but even this fine young actor cannot salvage this very tedious and meaningless film. In Spanish with English subtitles.

angelsunchained This movie is a mess! It takes from so many past films and creates a film which is clinch ridden. The main character is a mixture of Tom Sawyer (Look Ma, no shoes!), Tarzan (he speaks to tigers), Rambo (jungle warfare expert who uses nature to defeat well-armed opponents) and Clint Eastwood in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (starring and squinting). The bad guys are stereotypes of characters right out of Deliverence, The Road, and Rolling Thunder. The story plot is so stupid that it is really hard to believe; a gang of killers who are working for an unnamed boss, attempt to steal land composing of two wooden shacks in the dense jungle with no one around for miles. The hero keeps removing his shirt,yet wears a hippie style leather necklace and has a strange looking tattoo on his back which looks like an ocean wave. Also, ninety percent of the dialogue consists if heavy breathing and moaning. All the characters are flat and stiff. There is no chemistry what so ever between any of them. They just like and stare, and wear filthy dirty clothes and never shower. This movie is a real stinker. I only gave it a four because the photography is beautiful and I liked the stupid showdown at the end.

sanarg The movie didn't work for me. It felt too artificial... forced. Almost like I could tell 'this is a movie' constantly. And it is not supposed to be like that, it has a kind of magical aura you are supposed to feel, and sometimes it works, mainly with sounds and the jungle images. But it doesn't work on how they managed ellipsis... for time to pass by they show you a dark sky with a full moon. Also it didn't work in acting direction, I think. The actors are good, but the tone is completely flat. It may have been a good idea, but it becomes somehow artificial while the movie advances. And the idea of man becoming one with nature felt also forced. The 'tiger'analogy with the main character. It has a great message and I think it was a strong bet. I'm glad they tried. Maybe Herzog's movies would have been a good starting point to think the mise en scene for this subject.
