Movie With Singing Raisins
Few films in the international films that portray vision for victims of terrorism about what has happened to them. The figure terrorist, their motivations and the context surrounding it, always been dedicated further analysis, possibly because it is a character that wakes a fascination difficult to measure, even dangerous. Thus we find many films dedicated to terrorist Hunger, kick in the head, Munich , Yoyes or Paradise Now. There are also many dedicated to acts of terrorism as Omagh or Operation Ogre. State terrorism; GAL and In father's name. Or at terrorism as a phenomenon as The Basque Ball by Julio Medem . Even Cinemascope35 have a section in this regard "terrorism Film" but in it there are many " victims" rather responsible. So Five minutes of glory , which premiered in Spain on April 9 (although its distribution, to my knowledge, it is rather anecdotal) is a breath of fresh air for the genre , actors, these themselves are victims faced his executioners.
In Five minutes of glory (Five Minutes of Heaven) we have two characters whose lives were transformed following an attack in 1975 paramilitary group in Northern Ireland UVF (Force Ulster Volunteers) in which a young Irish Catholic is killed in the presence of his younger brother by a Protestant gunman. In the film, one is the shooter, the other is the victim. Twenty years later are faces a television p rogram trying to close old wounds the Irish conflict. Those five minutes of fame is the time it is the murderer Alistair Little (Liam Nesson) to beg forgiveness from his victim , Joe Griffen (James Nesbbit).
The film starts in an old mansion that served as a filming location of the program. In one room, the victim , Joe Griffen, walks to and fro like a mouse locked up, nervous about the reunion with Alistair Little, the murderer . It is this initial part of the film certainly has more power which. James Nebbit transmitirte get all the anguish in his heart throbbing, the language is loaded with violence, tension breathe, though not really know where it comes from that feeling. The mastery of director Oliver Hirschbiegel ( Downfall) is shown here because of the confrontation between two characters. While the victim is crazy, exhausting one cigarette after another. Liam Nesson set is presented in quiet, pristine suit, to say the bastard smells of fable. Le makeup quietly and waits for his opponent , like a boxing ring bastard in question. the end, the fight fails. But the live broadcast get the drama of the encounter without this actually occur , every gesture, every glance vacuum is a statement of intent. The viewer then breathe panic.
In the second act, the lives of our two heroes, Alistair Little it is to repent and seek forgiveness, the other by chance develop normally, their families, their aspirations . But find no sense that normality , its existence is already traumatized. Nebbit's character, Joe Griffen , warned that his life is rubbish, which is incapable to be happy about that ghost that leads him to pursue twenty-five years. is a living dead need redemption. For his part, Nesson character has gained some public importance, is quite successful and apparently, a life made. But lso t is an unfortunate, an unfortunate , paradoxes of life. That meeting porstergado always occurs, but in vain, p erdonarse will not improve their lives. Griffen still a wreck, clinging to what little limp worth of its existence, Little, will always be a teen slut.
said at the beginning that few films that deal with the psychology of the victim. In this case I think five minutes of fame he has achieved. director has built a beautiful film, with lots of internal stress. A movie characters, unpredictable and great . I hope that the viewer, at least to me hit me, l and heating this film without a message, without courage or exceedances, a film of humans against humans, so pathetic that is.
