REVIEW: Nightmare of eternal beauty
'' Now is the perfect time to have a child,'' he says over
and over a friend who until recently was still living in Shanghai. The reason
for this unbridled passion to swell due to birth in his native China this is
the year of the dragon, ergo every child conceived in this period will be born
with the qualities of the mythological creature, which in the future surely
will, among other things, to win their blood and fire purposes. An interesting
perspective at least. In the West should not liking ourselves to vulgar and
demeaning matched animals (can you imagine what would have been portrayed a
banker to be born in the Year of the Pig?), so we take the look to something
more ours: the totems of the culture popular.
See Snow White. I do not know if at the end of this academic
year I will get me the hell out the equally damn law school (yes, right,
what?), But rest assured that I am seriously pondering the Ministry of
Education show my movie tickets This season for me to trade them for a nice
certificate with the signature of the royal family, which shows that the bearer
of this slip is a master in the work of the Brothers Grimm ... or at least more
than accredited expert in the versions that Hollywood has given us of it along
this year.

To do this, nothing better than a more than generous budget
and a stellar cast (made after numerous dropouts) capable of pulling crowds to
the theater. To ensure that this luxury cruise to a successful conclusion, the
captain comes in. Rupert Sanders. '' What the Bleep who you are!?'' Said Pedro
Rodriguez Cristiano Ronaldo during one of the many tanganas produced along a
famous classic. The Barca player canary did not answer, perhaps because of the
speed with which everything happened, but the truth is that the Portuguese gave
unwittingly pass a real death. '' I am the player who just brands you a goal,''
the FC Barcelona should have responded, as sometimes, the facts speak for
themselves, and are the best introduction.
Rupert Sanders, aware of this, know that you need is to put
some ground from the beginning, all simple task, especially considering that
the film has two very serious errors of base. First, why the hell should worry
the gorgeous Charlize Theron leaving as the most beautiful of the kingdom when
its main rival in this competition is the soda of Kristen Stewart? It is not
known. Second, and without moving the interpretive section, the ever-changing
designs of the star system requires us to share the ride with that Stewart, an
actress, to call in some way, which, judging by his face, everything gives
disgust ... or perhaps a terrible feeling of drowsiness. It is not known. The
fact is that under the weight of his sleepy eyes, the queen, the dwarf, the
Hunter and the Prince is reduced to little more than garbage.
In fact, done to the cause with the services of this project
emerged from the infamous star saga conceived by Stephanie Meyer is the same to
hire Sarah Jessica Parker to star in a brazen defense as outer beauty as were
the equally infamous adaptations to the big screen TV 'Sex and the City'. This
is called a decision counter. Regardless of these handicaps, we said that
Rupert Sanders gets down to work immediately, getting to his film debut, a
surprising start, vigorous, and taking into account the rules of the game,
almost perfect.
The'' Once upon a time ...'' de rigueur acquires a dark tone
that plunges us into a Gothic nightmare as beautiful as terrifying. This
combination of qualities is distilled fuel that feeds this fairy tale
reinvented for an era that, for better or for worse, made the complexity, in
every way, one of its major hallmarks. Far left and the Disney classic in which
a young woman with hair black as coal, sang cheerful songs with animals of the
forest and some nice miners. For some reason, the simplicity of the story by
the Brothers Grimm (who happened to be one of its main attractions) is no
longer an attractive, so that you choose to throw the product at a depth in
which the director and his troupe have just lost.
And they do it this way forward, unless you are very well
marked, and is not the case, betrays both the spirit of Grimm, as to any
product whose alleged purpose should be to serve the entertainment. This is
where questions arise as uncomfortable Was it necessary to make the feint of
entering the psychology of evil-and-true star of the feature to end up doing so
simplistic a picture of it? Was it necessary to go from healthy to an epic
adventure as caught by the hair? And the most important of all, was it
necessary to have us over two hours sitting in the chair? Of course, the answer
is a resounding'' no.''
A pity, because what promised to be a blockbuster memorable,
and slightly different from what we used to,'' has just become simpler times''
and goofy summer kills. However, this nasty taste in the mouth should not
forget that when we actually proposed it, 'Snow White and the legend of the
hunter' is a film that plays his cards very well. In this sense, the ace winner
is in the aesthetic power of an author in his commercial work (notably the ads
developed for Microsoft's gaming platform) had already shown signs of knowing
how to make an impact in the retina of the hearing.

But you know, the dreams of eternal youth are just that:
dreams nightmares become poisonous when faced with something so extremely ugly
as reality. As with the magic mirror, the power is both a reflection of the
insecurities of an author with extraordinary potential but it still looks too
tied up, either by the anti-authorial system, either by their own fears at the
time of risk altogether. Anyway, 'Snow White and the legend of the hunter' is
an interesting kick off the summer popcorn season, led by a young prince
something green in the arts that have been assigned, but points to become, in a
more or less distant, a serious candidate for the most beautiful of his
kingdom.
