few days ago, on Thursday, August 5 to be accurate, the company called Barcel chips through its product Chip's , was kind enough to invite me to a premier. Of those in the room comfortable, with reclining seats, waiters who interrupt increasingly catering to cinema seats, spectacular sound and the whole thing (that includes the first row does not cause torticollis) ... It was nothing more and nothing less than the film called Salt Agent, histrionic than-stellar alignment was serviced of women of fuller lips on the planet: Angélica Alegría (já), also known as Angelina Jolie (nothing spectacular highlight its performance rather than its open condition) and the recent co-starring role man wolverine , Liev Schreiver (who does not cease to be surprised by his skills as a true villain, that is, a true son of a bitch ). Although later I will give my verdict on the tape, I can tell you that holds a solid direction quite acceptable under the command of Australian Phillip Noyce (that ran in 1997 and recommended that mythical film called The Saint , with Val Kilmer in the title role).
As I do not intend to delve into the plot and not a cause for this post. Share with you a synopsis of the film in question, framed in the genre that involves hints, suspense, action and international spies: Before becoming an agent of the CIA, Evelyn Salt (Jolie) made an oath of service and honor home. She will demonstrate their loyalty when an immigrant accused of being a Russian spy. Salt avoids using his skills and years of experience as an agent undercover to avoid, capture, protect her husband and stay a step ahead of their colleagues in the CIA.
escaped from describing how the film is, now I begin to slice my head ideas that I share with you today in this amazing post (the element of surprise is not because it is good but because it revives my attempts not to abandon this blog).
Have you noticed that in the spy movies the most important thing is to turn the viewer into a professional paranoid? Personally, I am convinced, because otherwise we can not explain why the writers spin and turns to the plot to make us completely disarmed and full of doubt about who is friends with who and when our hero is about to throw in the towel because everything kind of force has turned against them (to finally emerge victorious.) Ufffffff! reasoning often to explain that success in these films is based on generating a state of mental health, characterized by the presence of self-referential delusions, aka, paranoia, but not necessarily in the actors but in us. "Ehhhhhhh? Yes, making a film of this nature is a success (according to my hypothesis) is not what the actants (players) know themselves but information we gained. And the more data we have about it the better. Maybe I could not explain it very well in the lines above, therefore, try to set an example.
Suppose foo A , is the classic spy our northern neighbors fighting classic Russian friends. The more information we have about who or who want to kill him does not diminish the surprise element but on the contrary, everyone suspected already, that is, we become paranoid. This matter what fulanito A know himself. If, however, we very little information about what happens to our main player, we can be victims of the element of surprise, not the paranoia that unlocks the information in large quantities. The classic is that we get carried away by sudden betrayals, but what happens when we know they are all traitors? I believe our condition spectator is transformed into a non-prophet.
As an additional data Abridged remember that there are 3 levels of information about what happens to an actor in a story: a) what we know of him or b) what she knows him self c) we do not know both actors and spectators.
quasi final conclusion: I personally prefer the tapes where I find lots of information and the level of surprise is less and end what prevails is the confusion. These tapes are truly delicious.
Last conclusion, I almost forgot, I do not recommend at all Salt Agent, unless someone wants to enjoy disproportionate share an afternoon popcorn, great special effects and a gringo inevitable chauvinism. We read in the next.
PD. Salt The website is really recommended. That one I recommend.
