poetry and distance

Wanted to see this movie because of Javier Bardem.

Having never heard of his name before, he was dubbed "Penelope's husband" for the first time.
But looking at the looks, it should be a strong faction.

At the beginning of the film, those large paragraphs with supernatural words really make people feel creepy. The black and white images of life in my memory suddenly emerged. The story begins with this peppermint scent.

There is nothing particularly new in the plot. In plain language, it is a father who is on the verge of despair and his children are struggling between life and death. Labour, Chinese, slums, illegal immigrants, etc., are in stark contrast to the beautiful landscapes of Iberia. But Javier's face is really too bitter, so it still feels in place.

After the movie is over, it ends in the usual distant and sad tune, leaving a memory full of mint flavors.

This memory tells me that no one's life is simple.

Western countries have also made a lot of similar movies that reflect the lives of illegal immigrants and people at the bottom of the city.

Each of us lives in this world, in a lost planet. There are winners, there are losers, there are poor people, there are rich people, and most people are exhausted.

Although this is the reality, there is always poetry and distance.

Biutiful quotes

  • Ana: Dad! How do you spell "beautiful"?

    Uxbal: Like that, like it sounds.

  • Marambra: [weeping] If I close my eyes then the thoughts start. They make me scared. I called you. I called you many times. I can't give the children what they need. I'm so sorry I was cruel to Mateo. I'm doing what I can to survive. I really want to be faithful to you, but I also like to have some fun... like a whore.

    Uxbal: Don't say that, Marambra. Forgive me. I've never known what I should give you; I still don't know. Something... I've never known. But we have hurt each other so much.

    Marambra: Take me with you on holiday again. At the clinic they have to restrain me...

    Uxbal: Calm down. Easy. It will be alright.
