Amreeka - The Middle East



We have seen the latest review of Middle Eastern Cinema in Florence. A film that still has no distribution in Italy. A wrong, we add. Here the website for more info . It's called Mouna (but might also be called Maria Abdullah as our hypothetical Italian second-generation), the female character in the film, a divorcee and mother of a teenager: a Palestinian woman excited and optimistic, despite living in the heart the occupied territories, where he lives. The horizon appears to increasingly uncertain. But one day leave this life to go to work in the United States and a change seem possible: if a stranger in his own country must both be true at all. And so, with his son Fadi, decides to leave and to reach her sister by fifteen years already installed in the heart of Illinois. After the joy of being found in the family, Mouna Fadi and try to find their place in this "Amreeka" so long dreamed. But the United States, at war with the "devil" Saddam, will demonstrate a strange concept in hospitality. The shame of working in a fast food, the diversity of the costumes, the real anger and pride of those who live U.S. in contact with its people.

Funny, romantic, hard. Why is the life even of a boy, Fadi Mouna's son, who does not want to have labels: a school will defend their identity when compared with children of American soldiers in war parties. Arabian same race for some, the ' Iraq instead is not Palestine for the other: so much so that the climax of the story the ransom will be provided, if a little' bitter and resigned. In this film good flow the diverse cultures of origin of many immigrants who made America, to the detriment of integration that goes hand in hand with injury.

Dialogues such as these, however, they are dedicated to the Italian Northern League. Between U.S. border police and the immigrant: "Where you from?" - From Palestine, sir .- E 'busy? "(The policeman will tell if she has a job) - Oh yes, the workers, 40 years - (Mouna think the government's prevailing in his country). Final

peaceful melody races not "melting" in a crucible, but the differences.

Sanremo 2010 - Arisa - Malamoreno (video) The Spice

After a first episode of the festival boring, slow and sometimes embarrassing (and the cash outflows of the stripper Dita Von Teese to name but two ...) I woke up this morning with a melody in my head that I'm sure will be my personal torment the next few days. The only song that has stayed with me in the head is to Arisa, simple, catchy and colorful with a refrain that comes immediately to mind. It is not a masterpiece but at least it is clear last night managed to wake up for at least 3 minutes! Below the video hoping that Rai did not take off in 5 minutes ....

An America ruled by the (bad) termites education




">

London, 1961: Jenny was sixteen, her face clean of Carey Mulligan and a dream: to go to Oxford. A day of rain, while it is under the shower in the company of his cello, awaiting the arrival of a fulminant pneumonia, meets David (Peter Sarsgaard), 30, beguiling stranger-looking old man at the wheel of a custom-built convertible type, which gives with a shift from mild-mannered serial killer. She obviously agrees, unless the audience, but we're just beginning the adventure film Nick Nornby and things can still improve. Jenny's parents, inept ever fall from the clouds, accepted without a murmur the arrival of David piacione in the life of their beloved daughter and no matter whether these, as well as having almost twice the years of her professional ambitions may ruin them all, because its apparent social status elevates to the rank of a good party and promises stability and security. In fact, under cover as a good British subject, he hides a wolf with the vice of adolescent love and fraud easy, too fragile in his nature to even aspire to lose hair and Jenny finds himself having to deal with the disillusionment who has given up almost everything to point nothing on a dead end. But the redemption from this evil comes to sentimental education over a quarter of an hour after the end of the film, with a sharp turn to resolving the director Lone Scherfig, harassment on the scene in a matter of minutes, clashes with the public and critics of bad timing dramatic construction of the tale, making us get off on the sly from the machine on which we climbed to the top film with good grace. And nothing is worth knowing that the work is taken from the memoirs of British journalist Lynn Barber, because the loss and the feeling that he was walking on the street in a smart easy-to-impact film, seem to be the only things that accompany us during the credits. Mediocre. Rated 5

The corrosive de" Doubt "

A film like theatrical experience. In the best tradition of Broadway, probably. Although it is not on Broadway, which takes place the story of "Doubt", but in the Bronx. Another story.

The Bronx of 1964 (about a year after the "emotional castaways" of Chesil Beach, which we wrote about last month).

Here is the parish St. Nicholas and the attached school, Sister Aloysius chaired authoritarianism, terror of the young students.

A to start the story, however, is the submissive sister James, the older sister who confesses to the strong, very strong suspicion that the interest of another teacher, Father Flynn, a student at the school has a nature morbid. But how to prove the terrible sins of the priest at the absence of evidence?

The serious allegations of the sisters suffered give way to a confrontation that will address the reluctance of the parish priest and close dialogue with a solid script (not for nothing, theatrical), that are not open to too many virtuoso director: everything is "reduced" (or, perhaps, increases) in pure theater. A photograph icy and camera movements symmetrical framing the pale faces of a cast of great actors, perfectly at ease in holding 104 minutes of intense dialogue. Meryl Streep (who had a face so full of corners we would not ever noticed!) Still gives the best proof of the tremendous actress playing Sister Aloysius Beauvier duel to the sounds of screaming invectives garbatissime, with Philip Seymour Hoffman (Father Flynn) Priest's most progressive and well-liked by the students of the school. The delicate role of Sister James is instead given to Amy Adams, too, as the two colleagues the most famous, Oscar nominee. An American film so compelling and yet extraordinarily dry not seen for some time. Certainly on the skill of the director John Patrick Shanley, author of the screenplay and stage play (which won the Pulitzer Prize), from which the film itself is drawn.

an ideological clash of generations and, besides personality, what animates the scenes between the two protagonists: the discipline of a nun granite older, pre-Vatican II, which seems to contemplate the possibility of doubts, uncertainties and other side of the barricade, the mild indulgence, the alleged father of modern Flynn, however, could conceal more sinister intentions. And, viewers always doubters, those who decide to judge?

Enjoy.

Error - The Lollipop Girl eyes to heaven

Until Last episode I had no idea who most deserved to win this year's other friends but after listening to the new unreleased Loredana I have no doubt that the victory should be up to her. I find this song written by Silverchair is really nice and the interpretation of Loredana is exceptional. As she sings in English but will also laugh at the chickens in pieces when it's in Italian bass notes to me shudder.

How To Properly Say Milena?

review a little book, not a small book in the Air

Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan



really hard to superimpose their own words to those of a great novelist. Difficult, even when the intention is to restore the clarity of the description, care, emotional attachment, as a father, to the flaws of those characters, to the description of that gray time past, he certainly knew. Towards honesty.

Chesil Beach is a book of "romantic" and poignant honesty. Quick to read the hard to digest, this novel about the twenties ... but not in their twenties, maybe. Maybe in their seventies now, who remember their teens in 1963, when our story takes place. Those young men and women, each with a thorn in the side, a tare, or culture, if you prefer, the illiteracy of a sentimental time not too far from here to be judged by us with amazement irreverent and a bit of snobbery. How important was for us to read the wedding night of two twenty-three English, not particularly neurotic or insecure, struggling with a win from their intimacy? Can a writer reinstalled historical scaffolding scaffolding to tell of feelings? The pen and a skilled hand can do everything. And then we know what to try Edward and Florence in the warmth of their hotel room on the beach of Chesil Beach, in love, uncertain about how to become adults, unprepared, forced to come to terms with themselves and with a time that falsifies the emotions , strangling any momentum, continuing obstacles stand in the way of love.
But it is not always the case, in every where and every where, that some alien force refuses to match the auspicious event, as with magnets of the same charge?
Well, probably not a story fit only for the teens at the time, perhaps it is not even simply a tragedy on availability of a means of granting a truce to care youth. Maybe we were wrong. That all read like trip, seeing it reflected in a puddle and try to recognize it is not easy. Whatever good or bad dispositions of History.
Good reading.

Ryan Bingham is an employee always travel on planes. More than ever, a single George Clooney, despite his private life. The task of Ryan is to fire people. A dirty job headhunters. It 'paid by a company that does not have the courage to dismiss in person. Now the computer grim day in the life: traveling in business class with luggage sorted, lives in an apartment unadorned only 40 days a year, his true home is the airport, always away from his family, so incapable of an emotional tie and ballast (except when the faces).

on every play stereotypical American Up in the Air: will be hired from Natalie, Anna Kendrick, Jessica in the Twilight saga for online dismiss the poor employees with families affected by the crisis. And 'in fact an American girl nerd and just graduated from college, is not used to break or let go, he wants everything and now wants a perfect marriage with a man who has even the short name and a lot of dog in tow. Clooney is a ruthless businessman but sweet, but one who will be the focus of attention of Ryan and Alex, a sensual Vera Farmiga, career woman so that much like him.

"How heavy is your life? - Asks the character to a group of like-aggressive sellers Imagine for a second go around with a backpack. I want you to put in the backpack all the things you have in life, beginning with small things ... then your sofa, your car, your home ... And sentitene weight.

Antonio was able to have fun in Albanian Days and Clouds two years ago, Silvio Soldini. We Italians are masters to speak of a crisis of work, you know. But the Air is quite another, as evidenced by the difference with a more American films.
Jason Reitman's film industry, already swirling in Thank You for Smoking, Juno provocative, pull the rope to the economic crisis. But he does it with more irony, more courage, more melancholy (not just the bitterness of our movie so frighteningly close to reality as they are useless in Italian forget it), more cynical (the obvious joke against a famous French film, The Fabulous World of Amelie, the garden gnome she travels the world). Here, however, any pretext of wanting to be a better film is played for the plot: his loyalty points, in practice his miles for traveling around the world, Ryan donates them to those who can afford it. Who will give them and why, the big breakthrough of the film.

masterpiece.

ps
A small gem. Edition original English version is a joke of a hostess, as at the beginning of the film, directed to the protagonist: "Would you like the can, sir?"-He wants a can (can) sir? - A very ironic misconstrues Clooney with the sound another entire word "cancer", exactly the same sound as "can-sir." Also sounds like "Would you have cancer?"
In the Italian dubbing is ably translated differently: "He wants good soda?" Clooney does not intend to start the can but something else.
