Fat Head (2009)
There is a lot of bologna in this film.
I would definitely skip this one. I watched it looking for some interesting perspectives over diets and the food industry, but it is pretty much about a guy who really loves McDonald's and have this weird passive-aggressive thing against the other guy from Super Size me. At the beginning, he tries to show that having fast-food is just fine and that most american people is not fat. Ok. But at the end of the film, which is pretty much the only part that is worth the time to watch it, he starts to talk about low carb, low sugar diets, which directly contradicts everything that he's saying since the beginning of the film. American people is fat because of eating high carbs and sugars that exists on fast foods. If you really want to have a serious insight over diet and all that, watch Fat Fiction, which was actually made by filmmakers and not a sad programmer who really loves fast food.
Loving Vincent (2017)
Visually astonishing, but badly written.
This movie is tricky. It makes you think it's a masterpiece, but it's just a bad movie. When you start to get bored watching the superb visuals, you slowly perceive that the plot is very weak. It is clear that the key creatives came with the visuals and then thought about applying that in a whatever script that they could write. And then it get worse: I also started noticing how some of the actors were very badly directed. There were a number of scene that looked too theatrical. Maybe because they need it in a sort of way to help pop up the VFX better, but it looked sort of amateurish.
It was a very good idea used in a very bad script with a begginner director on top of everything.
The Madness of King George (1994)
Truly Amazing
It was a random movie for me. Just about a tag in the historically theme. But when i watched, it became some sort of lost masterpiece with a soft theater look. All I can say that is all about perseverance in elderly life. Yes, its about a king, but it is about how you can maintain your strength and will in some difficult situations in life. I'm about thirty, and i have a daughter, so i understood how some of the funny moments of managing a family in this movie developed in a bizarre way, the family struggle vision, and everything happening side-by-side with corruption and power desires (its a kingdom, anyway). So, for me, its the kind of movie that some of the older members of your family would love to watch. Most because its an elegant movie about how an old man that lost his moral due his condition can return to power, proving that everyone has a chance to reclaim a second chance in a younger, greedier world. Unless you want the crown, so... don't show them this movie.
The Tulse Luper Suitcases, Part 2: Vaux to the Sea (2004)
Interesting Way of Proposing Cinema
Peter Greenaway sustains the same way of montage of the Tulse Luper Part 01, but now the screenplay became more dynamic. It appears that he got a better rhythm in his editing, because I watched the movie and it came to the end as fast as the thoughts that he intercalated in this second part. The subjective text in the screen are now more rich of details and connections, and looks like that have been applied more effort to get a better external photography than in the first movie. Well, people say that Peter Greenaway does some semi-intellectual shitty movies, but it's obviously not true. Anyone who truly enjoys watching Cinema as a piece of art that can be bend and smashed and broke into new ways of perception knows that every new movie of Greenaway is a enjoyable surprise.
