The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
So strange...
I was super excited to see this film. The movie started and, while watching it, I could only feel an intense discomfort. I couldn't recognise the "matrix atmosphere "; there was something strange with Thomas Anderson/Neo and Tiffany/Trinity. I could not understand the reason for that feeling. At some point, I felt like leaving the screen room...
After a while, I realised: this isn't the same matrix. It is a new version, built by a new architect. So, I opened my mind and dove into the white rabbit hole.
I was not a masterpiece, but it has some great ideas, new concepts, and I could not stop thinking about the movie.
If you hated the film, give it another chance.
Como Esquecer (2010)
This is so Brazilian...
If you are Brazilian, if you know Brazil, or at least a Brazilian, you will understand the film. I love this movie. It is not always an easy task to let someone out of your life. At some point in the film, Julia says, "It is not possible to live without life". This is exactly the dramatic way of life that is characteristic of "Latinos." There is a kind of poetry in Julia's fight.
The movie is full of symbols: the girl in red, the Garden in the new house, the soundtrack (I love it).
I love the fact that Antonia is present throughout the film (Julia's ex-girlfriend), although we never know her.
Ana Paula Arósio, Murillo Rosa, Arieta Corrêa, Bianca Comparato, Natalia Lage and Pierri Baitelli are very close and do very well.
I recommend this movie. It's an introspective story. We went through all the suffering of the broken relationship and its repercussion.
It is a shame that films in Portuguese language are not well known around the world.
