Post III: Movie

My favorite movie is 'Whiplash' (2014), a film written and directed by Damien Chazelle. It'sabout the obsessive relationship between a young jazz student who plays the drums (Andrew Neiman) and the most acclaimmd jazz instructor from the prestigius Shaffer Conservatory in New York (Terence Fletcher). The teaching and learning process is marked by a violent, strict and abussive behaviour from Fletcher to his studentes, justify in the searching of musical perfection. In this sense, the film shows the troubles and contradictions in the compelling race to get the sublimation of art. I love this movie because it reveals the madness and compelling pursuit to achieve the perfection and after all, it questions the viewer about what is perfection and the human necesity of that. Furthermore, the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is amazing, easily one of my favorite BSO from all the time and the picture fits perfectly to the dense mood along the film.

In general terms, I'm not into films, I rather prefer the TV series. The long duration of the average film tends to boring me and usually the comprimed narrative is not pretty interesting to get me 2 hours in front of a screen. Anyways, I like the psychological thrillers and dramas, like 'Black Swan' (2010) directed by Darren Aronofsky or 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' (1975) directed by Miloš Forman.

The most recent movie I saw was 'Johnny 100 Pesos: Capítulo 2' (2017), directed by Gustavo Graef. Last friday I went to the Cineteca Nacional since I widely watch movies in that movie theatre in random mode, in other words, without knowing in advance what is the cinema screening. About the film, works well like mainstream cinema intended to entertain with cheap thrills and jokes, without deepness. Nevertheless, I don't recommend it. There are a lot of good films floating around and time is limited.
