A shoot in the heart
1 April 2016
A close end to a great story, this movies talks direct with teenager people, is a complex politic drama with a beautiful love sophisticated triangle, teach how the entertainment world works and how politics can lie to preserve power, the good and the bad one. The movies follows to a end with bombs in everywhere, including what you think it is the right side, of course everything is not what really appear, but in the end some real friendship keep the full war, and become a amazing final. This last part don't have the same strong the another ones, with strong speech and beautiful shoots, it isn't the best movie, but it deliver what we should wait from a final shoot in the heart of all fans of Katie's arrow, and it is all, a beautiful shoot to say goodbye, and change the life of all.

God v Man: Old against future
25 March 2016
A movie about a man fighting against himself and a huge enemy, who has power inside his mind, is about choose carefully who is your enemies, because they will define who is you.

This sequel follow Superman, from director Zack Snyder, and not Dark Knight, from director Christian Nolan, the movies don't has the watermark from another batman of shaking your brain, Batman v Superman, try to build the myth of heroes, with blood, tears and dark.

The movie don't have the so complex of Joker, but the best acting is from Jess, which is Lex Lutor, the full movie hi is the only one with a crazy and amazing ideal, different from Superman, full of doubts, Lex know what he is doing, and how crazy it is.

Ben Affleck Batman, is a human hero, nothing more, it is far away from Bale Batman with his clear goals and decisions, is a OK, but not a leader and not a amazing one.

For comic book fans is a amazing movie, for all another is kind of disappoint.

Life is a irrational bitch
21 February 2016
First of all, Woody Allen is kneed by his open stories of normal people doing average things going nowhere, but now is different. This is his first close story, but still is a very existentialist film, a theory and practical movie about the why of our life, and how achieve it.

Furthermore this academic movie with a amazing story, is about love and how life can change, and how unexpected it can be. Human life can renegade feeling, but can't run alway of his decision. A simple but powerful lesson.

Finally this movie has a amazing photographic take from the campus and from life, a crime with a reason for teach us about the best plan for life it isn't have a plan for life.

Wall Street (1987)
10/10
Greed is a good thing, and all us have it
16 February 2016
First of all this movie isn't just about money, this movie is about human nature in your more basic form, with love, ambition and greed. Show us human as we really are, for good and for bad. But more than it, shows society how the system works.

Although the main theme is about Wall Street the movie has a excellent story, the main business man in this movie is Gordon Geeko, which represent a experiment and wealthy man, and his pupil, Bud Fox, a young and hunger for money business man. Greed is the main ingredient for this film, but not just, in the list is Wall Street and all the society, is sad, but is true.

Finally this movies shows two big things: lacks in the meritocracy when someone break the moral and how all the capitalism works. The main lesson is cash is just one of the capitals in this system. Greed is the main capital of all.

I strong recommend this movies, not just by his amazing final directors cut, but for his lessons about our society and ourself.

Deadpool (2016)
7/10
He breaks walls, arms and the classical sense of moral
16 February 2016
First of all, this movies break the superhero cliché, because dead pool is a movie adult and hilarious movies, don't pass a moral lesson, just make fun of yourself.

Therefore this movie has a strong argument for support his crazy way: he is crazy. Dead pool moral sense isn't like all superhero, as Superman, Batman or X-Men. His own goals are just to help herself and his girlfriend.

Although the main point of this movies is about nothing, still has a secret message about how a man get so lost when meets a amazing girl. A eternal lesson, he still has heart, but is a kind eccentric in his own.

Finally this movies has a great artist direction, he break the fourth wall in a gorgeous way and most of all, he has personality. A difficult characteristic in the current wave of superheroes. He is just insane and hilarious. I recommend this movie, and if possible, watch with your girlfriend it is really fun.

A Good Year (2006)
10/10
The mos beautiful movie of money, proud and love
12 February 2016
One of my favorite movies of all times

First of all, Max is a classic trader, brilliant, wealthy and arrogant, it provide he a great sense for business and trade money. Smart he know how to play with the market. Definitely he isn't the most adorable man in the City, for another hand is undeniable his talent to change the social status quo for his interests.

Besides all it, he still is a great human, with a hearth to do good things, all the story change when he meets a beautiful woman with a strong ethical sense. Although his instinct sense for hunting, he is the prey, using all his charm and intelligence he start not just bring back a young prodigious boy, but a old, but not, forgot passion. He din't know but everything is already planned, in a mysterious way.

The great lesson of this movies isn't about money, is about what a Good Years really is: a simple back to our pass with a evolution to our old dreams of kid.

I strong recommend this movie.

Isn't about money, It is about sending a message
12 February 2016
The best movie about Wall Street from this century.

First thing you need to know about this movie: it isn't just about money, is about more, human nature in your contemporary form, with derivatives and greed. Money never sleep is a actual movie because the insane financial market rhythm never stop, after a bubble always come another. This lesson is taught from Gordon Gekko, Michael Douglas, to your need student, Jake Moore, acted by Shi LaBeouf, in a absolute grateful format.

Furthermore, Geeko speech greed isn't just a banker privilege, but is at sale for everyone, with no exception, and the worst part, everyone knows it, but anyone wants go out the carousel. Government, corporations, consumers, everyone is so guilt from greed than no one is villain, all our system is based in consumption. Just Gordon understand it and know hows use it.

Finally, the movie is about a sociology analyzes of American, and Western, society. Our life style isn't more about work, but about keep the circular money flowing. Gekko explain all it, but the main lesson, or not, is you can't change the system, just play the game.

A movie about relationship with a old murder story
11 February 2016
First of all, It is the best Daniel Craig acting until now, it is far away from average 007 acting, it is deep and has a complex story. The director made a amazing work getting all the puzzles together.

Furthermore, this story is a classic murder drama, but goes beyond because how deep the characters are contracted, specially Lisbeth Salander, the social dysfunctional interaction behavior against the hight develop detective instinct is one of the maximum of this thriller.

Finally the main lesson in this film isn't about solving a case, but it is about how human can be bad with another, specially in familiar situations. This movies goes beyond the simple Who "Killed Him?", it goes in how human need is uncompleted and costly in so many ways.

The Dictator (2012)
8/10
The dictator is a comedy movie not just about dictatorship, but about our democracy too.
11 February 2016
Warning: Spoilers
The dictator is a comedy movie not just about dictatorship, but about our democracy too.

First of all, the movie goes thought some stereotypes, begins with how we see the middle east, and the dictatorships, stupids and full of self pride. Although it shows a society with multiples interests, for good and for bad.

Furthermore the dictator, called Aladeen, goes to America and suffer from a cultural shock in the way of life. After he has access to western way the way he thinks change and start to have more conscience. Besides the dictator epiphany, the main question is ourself reflection after listen his speech in the United Nation. About how unequal and unfair our society is, and beside the average sense we are more similar with dictatorship we use to think.

All in all, the movies make a critical vision of our society, and how big is the possibilities ways we humans can organize ourself, it is amazing, for good and for bad. I strong recommend this movie, specially the final UN speech.

8/10
All the movies is governed for one feeling: Fury
10 February 2016
Fury is a movie about how war can be stupid, and is important remember to don't make the same mistake from the pass. Although be a war film, Fury is about leadership and brotherhood, Brad Pitt act as great leader with a visionary and pragmatical way of conduce his feeling and tank with Fury.

First of all, War isn't a place where you can go, but is the best place to analyze human behavior, the main lesson in this movie is how men can change influenced by the environment. War make soft boys in warlocks, make average people gun machines, make dream become explosion to kill.

Meanwhile the movies pass we reflect about our nature, why do we fight against ourself, not just with machine guns, but in the daily habits of our life we presume fight is a 24 hours human instinct, the question is sometimes it explode, sometime we are civilized.

Finally, the movies makes us remember why we live, people we hope to see after a long day of work, or fight, the place we can call home. It is so simple we forget how easy it can be destroyed, so you understand why wars should be avoided.

A movie with social argument to save life in all world
10 February 2016
Dallas Buyer Club is a movie about what a man can do to survive, it can be obvious, but this film shows how bureaucracy can cost thousands of life when misused. Although the name suggest it isn't a movie about consumerism, this is about a man fighting for his life, a right clearly expressed in the Bill of Right and the U.S. Constitution. Beside the ignorance of few doctors and they distance from patient's life.

Dallas is how to use the system against the system, the American health care system is expensive, mixed from public and private organization and don't have a universal insurance. One of the main arguments is a drug can't be sell without testing, and the Food and Drugs Administration is really slow to analyze new drugs that it can be too late for some patients.

The fact people aren't fighting for they life change the ethical question behind why some people need to create organizations to tried save their lives. To properly evaluate this argument, use drugs without permission, we need to know how the system block a person to have access to use things can save they life.

Is unequivocal the Leto acting is amazing, and he won his Oscar. I strong recommend this movie to watch and think about our health system and what we can make to improve our heart.

The Martian (2015)
6/10
Silly film for watch with your kids
10 February 2016
The Martian is a movie to show for your kids, it is about basic science, a silly film is exactly what you could expect from Matt Damon, nothing more, and he delivery it: a bad acting, just it.

The main idea of this movie is about how survive in the red planet, trying to seed for food, producing water, researching data from this planet and fighting for survive. Although, this movies provides a inspiration to study sciences, if you are in the high school, or to laugh from Matt Damon scout lessons.

A movie to watch when you don't want use your brain, silly and empty. Besides it has a amazing acting from Jessica Chasten and Kristen Wiig, showing strong women with attitude and leadership. A movie to watch with your kids, nothing more.

The best movie of all times
10 February 2016
Schindler List is a movie about everything, begins with most basic values in the human natures until a complex analysis of war society, and find a journey to the human heart, in good and bad forms. Schindler list is a movie 10 in all questions, history, photography, OST and in send a message.

First we need know the movie is about a couple relationship between the Nazi government, German business man and the Jewish people. Schindler is entrepreneur, capitalist and a good negotiator, he has good relationships with military, and military enjoy your source of guns and material to support the war. A well established relation, Schindler keep low cost using prisoner as cheap labor to his factors, a smart but not decent idea.

Although his well wealthy business, Schindler decide he can change the world. This is the main point of the movie, and how he star to achieve a bigger goal instead the quarterly balance sheet profits. Schindler decide all system is not correctly, and he understand a change is need.

The lesson in this film is the status quo isn't a law, it can be changed by the humans. When oppression is the law, kill is normal, when human are properties have a act to change all it is the right decision. Schindler is what all we need in the moderns day, a break point in the society, a hero doing the obvious, a man whit heart and ambition to change the world.

Best picture of human nature
10 February 2016
The Salt of Earth is a movie about pictures of our world, not just photos, but a critical vision of our society, a son to father movie, about how a former economist saw the world thought his camera. This documentary could be just a about a great photographer, but it goes beyond, and show us about the human side of ourself, a side sometimes we forget.

To take a perfect pictures may took years, may took risk of life, may took a feeling, but always will need a human instinct to see, what is almost impossible to see for everyone else. The main argument in this movie isn't about how take pictures, but what they means for us, and what it shows, a war, a strong little boy man, a beautiful woman going to die, human greed for gold, or just how the world don't need us to be beautiful.

The director show a movie about human nature, in best picture, but not in the best of human, sometimes, the best picture show the worst of human nature. This is the best lesson from this movie, human nature is complex, and sometimes chaotic.

A movie about family, opportunities and thinking
10 February 2016
Que horas ela volta is one of the best magical realism movie from our time. The main argument of this movie is about social relationships, familiar and professional ones, and beyond a sociology analysis of Brazilian society.

The movie has a strong social message because is so close to the really, and so daily habits, we are used to social segregation in the same house, we forget it is so bad, and unfair with ourself. The movies leave us to think about basic things, for example, how different opportunities low and middle class has to access university, and how small habits can have a huge impact in the future.

The movies support his vision not in a philosophical phrases or beautiful quotes, but in reality, everything in the movie is so real and close to ourself that director don't need use Foucault or Marx text, he just show a mirror of the reality, and it is way this movies is about magical realism, but not realism magical. And it is why hurts.

The money from illegal actives go to corruption, guns and lobby, against the tax from another drugs which subside education, security and specially the health system. The acquisition of marijuana is easy than alcohol, to buy alcohol you must show your identification to prove you have 18 years old, in Brazil, but marijuana don't have this restriction.

Madness. The main point of this movies is there is no point.
8 February 2016
Madness. The main point of this movies is there is no point. Joker is so crazy he can destroy all you love just to show you are crazy as him. And it just is possible from the director Nolan, his main watermark is mess with your mind. Go so deep to find your more basic afraid and courage, from the core of your soul and show to the all world.

The Batman, acted with all the talent of Bale, is a utopia of our hero, but even the most superhero is human when confronted with the psycho Joker. Life don't have a why, and joker make your remember it, his nature is so human, but we need the batman side, because if we don't have it we will get crazy as Joker. Ledger made Joker his last paper. It is the number one villain in his time, because as joker Ledger was just so amazing in his own way he don't had a why, he was it.

It is all about Shrimp.

Forrest Gump show us how a well done thing is the best way to achieve great results. This stories is about so basic things, but so amazing at same time, we understand that sometimes be idiot is good. Forrest isn't the most intelligent man, in really Forrest is just talented, but he don't know, in reality we are like he. He can make things so big, and he can make things who inspire millions. Forrest is a example of don't plan your life, just live your life. This is the main argument: you don't need to be the most intelligent people in the world, you just need to be your self, and you will find follow in the most crazy you can imagine, because it is life, it not logical, but it is how works.

The Godfather (1972)
10/10
A movie about mafia, human nature and power
8 February 2016
The Godfather is one of the most epic movie of all times, this story is about one family and how they can change the society to achieve they goals. More than it is how a familiar drama can change our personality, the mafia way of life is a background to find redemption for our personal decisions. The story shows how a average man become a leader, for good and for bad, the process is hard and cost tears, blood and a piece of our souls. We learn from this thriller that we can't control our destiny, and even our reactions to life challenges isn't full of ourself, in essence great part of our acts is just instinct. This is the main argument and lesson here, we can't make plans in the long run, but we can train to respond to new obstacles. In familiar and professional career our dreams always will be submitted to the reality.

A movie about human nature, raise of women and hope
8 February 2016
Mad Max is a movie about human nature in the most basic format, in a desert environment the social relationships can be exposure in your maximum form, and is it exactly the main point of Fury Road. Mad Max was made with a critical vision of the social structure in the 90's business environment, where the boss owns the employees, have a constant racing to a achieve a oasis, the war for petroleum kill many people, and you can't scape from this system. This is the core of franchise, but this movies goes beyond, the critical of how women has been treated, the objectification and oppression is clear, but the best lesson is how women can organize and fight against this system of oppression.

Mad Max is one of the best movies about the social submission, human nature, continuous auto destruction from man-to-man and hope.
