I understand how impacting had to be this Gillian universe, one of the first times presented. Full of imagination and absurd (you can appreciate how other directors, such as Jeunet, followed some steps), it combines humor with also tragedy and terrifying scenes. A highly agitated cocktail in this distopic story.
Battle in Seattle
R
Very interesting to watch it now, a) in a time when all the freedom about trade has allowed a crisis that can collapse the system, b) because with so many demonstrations, this is a manual of how not to do things -either by the police, authorities or demonstrators. It takes characters from everywhere, sometimes from a very predictable way, but in any case, a good approach.

The Quiet American

Philip Noyce takes magnifically this ambigous, moral-controverty story from Graham Greene, and takes all the atmosphere from Vietnam before the war was really serious. Reflects the way to do politics by certain nations, mixed with love and other more personal problems. Very modern and actual, important to reflect the world where we live, with a main character -fantastic Michael Caine- which is not a hero but someone who tries to survive and confront his curses and ghosts. Diferent sides, and sometimes people takes part. Very deep movie.
