Hi! today im going to talk about some movies that i've seen this semester for the course "Estética y Cultura Comparada". We had to see 9 movies, but im going to talk about my favourites ones, that are three.
The first movie that we saw was "Los Olvidados" (1950), and i love it. This film is directed by Luis Bueñuel, an spanish director who filmed this movie in the time when he lived in Mexico. This master piece show us the life of a group of kids that are excluded of society for their conditions of poverty, making them a marginal group of the society. Mainly, this film is a critic for our moderns times, were we see how the people that is not functional for the system is excluded of it, being this a product of the capitalism.
The second movie is "Nos habíamos amado tanto" (1974) directed by the italian film maker Ettore Scola. The argument is about three friends that fight together in the second world war, returning to their homes full of hopes and ilutions that the history is going to take the course of the socialism. This movie show us the differents paths that each man take in the life. It combines humor, love, politic criticism, italian culture... a really good movie!
The last movie that im going to refer is "Harakiri" (1962), directed by Masaki Kobayashi. In first place, harakiri is the ritual that samurais had to die. They embed the samurai sword in the stomach all by themselves and then removes all the entrails until they die. Well, the relation of this with the movie is that the main character go to and important house to practice the Harakiri in order to revenge his family. What i like of this film is that is extremly different of what we are used to see in films, because it is filmed by the eyes of an orient person.
