Debut Prayer Invocation

Film of the week

"These are bad times for poetry."

We can say that going to the movies is a healthy habit. I think it's a good habit to go to the movies, but now is not healthy. We realize (those who want realize) that creativity in film has been pushed aside in favor of what's really driving any industry: money.

Drawer This is understandable. Any business, and some people forget that cinema is, you need to generate income to support and / or expand. What is not understandable is that in order to survive, American industry (which is what draws 95% of our rooms) prime we can shit on ad nauseam.
In the past year in particular has fared almost surreal. Among the many truño that have plagued our screens (the string of "movies" deserves special mention) are few movies that are saved. And I note for my American industry encompasses the major studios and independent branch that although they have different diffusion treatment and also hold a similar percentage of shit, because while the latter is the creative home are not home in the financing of large producers, is also jetas you want to sell their last straw labeled mental culture "of the good."

But back to money. At the moment, what really moves money are the series. They are living a golden age that has no precedent, and that is something that is damaging to the movies in an indirect way (they do not compete directly with him, as the theater) and diverting the interests of some sectors more adult audience. In view of this, the big American studios have focused their attention on the potentially most impressionable age, ie young people aged 13 to 17 years.

Currently, there are real struggles between directors and producers of films, among those who want to give your film an unfettered approach and those seeking to promote a product-R-(under 17 accompanied) or NC-17 ( A minimum age of 17) that sell well. In this context, there are many movies that are literally mutilated sex and drugs, which is what seems to worry the censors most Americans, despite maintaining high levels of violence. And this is what sells here, like it or not. Which by the way, do not like or pinch.

As we are passive sufferers of this situation, we bring every shit that no one can swallow. Zero quality products, stuffed with jokes only understood by the American public ("is that we must understand their humor," I heard that one) and consume large amounts of money, knowing they will be compensated by the response an audience that, after all, is not as guilty of being seduced by the tricks of the FOX executives dressed (by putting the most abominable example) that the tug of war between groups of morals social and religious and political. And I'd rather not get into that subject.

In short, there are several things (I'd like to be qualified) that influence whether, as a rule, the level of films landing in Spain is HORRIBLE.

The next day we talk about the Asian, if you like.
