I saw Water today, and fell in love with it. I really can't praise it enough - it manages to be hopeful yet painful, beautiful and serene and shocking. The ending, while it sad (it honestly made me cry a bit), was just perfect. It's about the long-lasting tradition in India that widows may choose one from three destinies: either being burnt alive next to their husband's bodies, marrying their husband's younger brother or spending the rest of their lives mourning for them in poverty. Chuyia is a seven-year-old girl that is married to sick man only for him to die the next day. The young girl soon stirs the melancholy-saddled widow house. Really, folks, do see it, this movie was just gorgeous, and along the wonderful story, the vibrant and colorful cinematography and the music are worth the ticket alone.

Tormentas dispersas con granizo

Watched Little Children today, which was lovely. I loved how fleshed out the main characters were - you could feel every bit of their frustration and anguish, and the narrator managed to be not annoying at all, which is strange for me - I'm usually not fond of it. Great movie about human nature and the way we interact with each other. The chemistry between Kate Winslet and the male protagonist (I honestly can't place him) helped the movie so much, and the photography, while simple, was really pretty. In all, the ending was good - very real, very bittersweet. Nice.

Welcome to Brinca Charcos, an art and movie blog for me, Ale. I'm a Graphic Design student, and I'll be posting in here some of my work for school along with original art. I'm also a big movies fan, and I'll be using this blog to post reviews for the random films I watch.
