Biutiful

Such a painful movie, really messed me up.

Such a ''biutiful'' movie. Re watching.

It takes a lot to work yourself up for this kind of viewing. But after endless hollywood drivel I owed it to myself to venture out. And the result is deeply rewarding. Phenomenal cinema, 10/10.

"Look in my eyes. Look at my face. Remember me, please. Don't forget me, Ana. Don't forget me, my love, please."

I really don't get how everyone says this and "Babel" are Iñárritu worst movies. I don't get it. This movie was so beautiful in every sense of the word. Sad, but real.

Can I just say how brilliant of an actor Javier Bardem is. It's nothing new, but it begs repeating, and here it absolutely dose. Without spoiling anything, but the scene between him and his daughter was one of the most moving and human things I've ever seen. It was hard to watch for the right reasons. Facial expressions alone with barley any dialogue spoken, you as an audience member feel and understand him without seeing the whole picture.

"Biutiful" is another fantastic movie from my favorite living director Alejandro González Iñárritu. Having this spiritual atmosphere to it, which is a trademark in all of he's movies; the beginning and the end are example of such. The score from Gustavo Santaolalla was great and really added to the surreal experience I've had with this movie. The mixture of beautiful cinematography, score, and the performances, made this even more melancholic.

Life ain't "biutiful", it doesn't look like in Hollywood tales, it just looks like through our own window...

Sad, but great.

Javier Bardem is fantastic and makes the movie. Iñárritu knows how to direct a sad movie. This did feel a little long and very slow.
