Sea of Dreams (2006)
Sweet movie
I just saw this film at the San Diego Festival and felt tempted to write a comment.
I usually go to see romantic movies and yet I can not compare it to any other movie I have seen.
It is a fantasy story told in part by the beautiful images and by the award-deserving musical score.
I liked Nicholas Gonzalez character (I do not say more to avoid spoiling the movie), I can only say his character is the most challenged by the events.
His mother, Sonia Braga, takes the lead and delivers a very strong and enjoyable performance.
Regarding the art direction, the use of colors to set the moods and transmit emotions from colorful to rich darkness are amazing.
I can't wait for the DVD and CD to appear on the market just to see my favorite parts over and over again.
Memoirs of a Geisha (2005)
Went to see it for the wrong reasons maybe
I might be a marketing victim. The main reason I decided to see this movie was the arguments regarding Chinese actors portraying Japanese roles.
I loved the cinematography, it is beauty centered. The most beautiful being the kabuki scene. Regarding the portrayal of Japanese actors, according to my experience with Japanese men it lacked the common inexpressiveness on their communication.
I would say go see it for its beauty, really.
Where I work they had this billboard with the close up oh her face, now it has been replaced and believe it or not, We miss the art.
Go see it anyway.
