The Closer You Get (2000)
An history about ordinary people
This movie represents the reality of the villages in Ireland. A reality that is very similar to my country, Galicia, the northwest part of Spain and a land that, surprisingly, is very similar in nature to Ireland.
The movie talks about the ambitions and hopes of ordinary people in a village and the idea to go abroad and know the world. But the hopes are most of the times unrealistic and your dreams don´t let you see that what you have closer is what you need.
May be the worst part is the very typical representation of the Spanish sailors (singing "flamenco" with guitars). Most of the sailors of Spain are from the north, a part in which the popular music is not based in the famous "flamenco".
The Time Machine (2002)
Please see the version of 1960
I few years ago I see the first version of The Time Machine. This was a great sci-fi movie and for that reason I want to see the new version in order to compare them.
I have to say that The Time Machine (2000) is a fun movie, but no more.
(SPOILER ALERT)
Problems:
* The plot finishes with the complete defeat of the Morlocks, opposite to the open end of the original version.
* There is a duel between the good character and the evil one, obviously the good wins (so predictable).
* Incongruencies like the computer still working in the 800,000 (what kind of energy supply it has).
* Incongruencies like you cannot change the past but can change the future. If I go to the year 100,000 first then I cannot change the year 800,000 because it is in the past.
In short: a good film to the popcorn eaters
