Biutiful - 7/10
Alysa 2022-04-24 07:01:15
The famous Mexican director Alessandro has made a new attempt this time, abandoning his usual puzzle narrative method and choosing a straight line plot. This should be a matter of opinion. I personally still like his old tricks. Biutiful has complex themes, it's a film about life and death, forgiveness and redemption, and it's mostly about dissecting human nature. The protagonist Javier Bardem is really a good actor. If this film is produced in Hollywood, maybe he can really win the best actor with this film.

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.
