The Paying Spectator Year 2014 Of Vittorio De Agrò And Roberto Sapienza A Flavia e Grandmother Alma Why reviews? Why tell our passions? Why continue to disturb the peace of the world? Me and my friend Roberto Sapienza made these questions exactly a year ago when the blog http://ilritornodimelvin.wordpress.com/ had exhausted its primary task and existential to tell my story. We wondered what to do with the heritage of consensus and esteem that for twelve months we had received and marveling relegandoci immense satisfaction. It was I propose to continue the journey even in 2014 telling Italy and the world through Art. Roberto, as always, was skeptical temend to confront the countless websites, blogs, forums that populate the web and that every day they write with talent and professionalism of film, literature, television and more. I remember that before the nth coffee while we smoked our beloved cigar I convinced him that we would have told the Arts from #spettatoripaganti. There may be great critics and experts, but in the end the true and ultimate court of a product is the viewer. For a year we wrote what we saw following the thread of our heart and emotions. We used the weapon of honesty and sincerity. We are not critical and both are old, fat and otherwise ignorant, but we love the art. We believe it is possible to do business with the culture and that we want to become in 2015: the producers of beautiful things. This collection of reviews is born with the hope that it will be for each of you a guide, a manual, help in your evenings with friends or solo in order to find the movie, the book, the play or TV program that can keep you company and above can also make you think. We had fun as paying spectators, we saw many beautiful performances, known talented people and above all we have lived. Being #spettatorepagante means for us to be alive and is part of a larger project and important. The paying spectator, to avoid further and boring words, are: 268 reviews so divided: 156 films, 23 plays, 36 TV programs, 4 festival, 49 books. If you ever read this collection always remember that life is a fiction with humility and we have tried to tell you a few pages. This is our gift for 2015, certain that for us all the best is yet to come. With affection and esteem. Vittorio De Agro Roberto Sapienza. CINEMA Everything is relative would the good Albert Einstein, let alone in the field of film criticism. We Italians are all coach of the national football team, and we all know we have the truth in his pocket. We wondered what was the best criterion for judging a film. After much thought and also thanks to the valuable advice of John we have found the solution. We are paying spectators? Well we evaluated every film suggesting that type of ticket purchase. Today, going to the movies is expensive, a ticket can cost 11 euro for a 3D movie. For a family of four a cinema can mean turning a small mortgage if we understand the inevitable purchase of coca cola and popcorn. Ergo think twice before buying a ticket, weighted carefully. So here are our types of ticket: 1) Not even a present: A film so ugly, boring, poorly written, tasteless and recited by dogs is to be avoided even if Belen Rodriguez or Raoul Bova there would propose an evening for two in an empty cinema. 2) Tribute: Film ugly, written with his feet, nonexistent dialogues, directing school, but there is an actor or actress who has saved the evening with a performance worthy of note, and above all there has avoided falling asleep and snoring provoking angry reactions of your Spouse / Partner. 3) In the afternoon: Film decent otherwise destined to spend an afternoon watching TV in a replay of the drama of the heart. A poor screenplay, directed simple, but the actors give weight and soul to the final product and maybe not so predictable and obvious. 4) Reduced: Movies that also deserves a night out before perhaps taking a good coffee for fear of falling asleep in the second half. Interesting screenplay, directed by good level, acting quality, too bad for a final short of expectations and a steady pace not know that at the end of slowness that makes you think of something else, maybe the bill to be paid the next day. 5) Always: Movies that rivedresti the next day because you satisfied belly, mind and heart screenplay, acting, directing, rhythm and final are all perfect and have created a product so good that not only kept you awake but after you want to talk about with friends and especially with strangers. Did you see a work of art and you're glad of the money spent. Film((strictly in order of release in Italian ), ticket: Always 1) 1) Frozen (January 2014- The kingdom of ice is a film of 2013 directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee. produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. [1] It is loosely based on the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen. It is the 53rd Classic Disney and was distributed in the United States on 27 November 2013, while in Italy December 19 Blockbuster Christmas in almost all over the world. As always, the Disney wins the challenge of the box office with his stories. It's not Christmas without the characters and the music of Disney. In Italy the main song "At dawn will rise" is sung by Violetta. Serena Rossi and Serena Autieri give the items to Anna and Elsa I grew up with the Lion King, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, the Hunchback of Notre Dame. I dreamed and cried with them. The animated films in recent years has increased prestige and authority to the point that the character of Shrek Dreamworks, a few years ago, touched even the Oscar nominations. Yesterday for the first time I accompanied my nephew Aldo to the movies. The "before" Uncle "was worth itself the cost of the ticket. Frozen then see the Cinema dei Piccoli, little gem, in the countryside of Villa Borghese, helped make magic all the atmosphere .. Frozen tells the story of two sisters Elsa and Anna, daughters of a King. United from childhood They love to play together, but Elsa has "a gift" that makes it different. One day, while they are playing, Elsa unintentionally injures Anna with her gift. This gesture will mark the life of Elsa, destined, after the tragic death of his father, to become Queen. Elsa lives a reclusive life and especially Anna keeps her away for fear. Anna suffers from the absence of her sister. During the coronation of the Queen, Elsa is forced to reveal his secret. Elsa frightened, runs away. Anna the chase to bring her home. Will be ready even to extreme act of love for Elsa. Frozen tells the diversity and how vienea view from the world. It is not the first time that Disney with delicacy and skill introduces the theme of "different." Years ago, if you remember, with the tale of Pocahontas, for the first time "heroin" was a person of color. Diversity and Love are the themes of Frozen., But beware, the Love in Fronzen, has the appearance of Prince Charming, indeed .. Universal themes told with skill and simplicity by directors. See Aldo and other children in the room, laughing and even careful observers, made me realize how well the film "Children" has its pedagogical function. Frozen deserves to be seen by adults, especially those who have brothers and sisters. After seeing it, maybe, you will see his brother, with different eyes. 2) 2) Disconnect (January 2014) is a film of 2012 directed by Henry Alex Rubin, starring Jason Bateman. The film was screened out of competition at the 69th edition of the Venice Film Festival. A good trailer is already the business card of a film. So it was for Disconnet. The trailer intrigues and makes you want to go to the movies The use and abuse of the web is the central theme. Three stories are grazed along the film, in an urgent and compelling. The web takes many forms: bullying, bereavement support, lust. The director tells us through these stories, our society and its excesses. The script is well written The actors are convincing in the roles and give depth to the stories. Also interesting from a technical standpoint, as the director shows on the screen the various chat and reactions of the protagonists. Disconnect film has no great pretensions, but deserves to be seen. The web is a delicate instrument, it depends on who is behind the screen The finish is bitter, but it invites the viewer to reflect that the real "connection" is in the real world. 3) Nebraska (January 2014) is a film of 2013 directed by Alexander Payne. Presented in competition at the 66th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, the film received the award for Best Actor attributed to actor Bruce Dern. The "race" of Nebraska will continue on Oscar night, where he received several nominations, including Best Film, Best Actor and Best Screenplay. Nebraska is described by critics as a road movie in black and white through the town America, but in my opinion, is an understatement. Pen Payne with melancholy and irony tells America, sometimes stereotyped, but at the same time true and bleak Nebraska convinces dialogues perfect and fun.
