“A guy can change anything. His face, his home, his family, his girlfriend, his religion,his God. But there’s one thing he can’t change. He can’t change his passion…”
I just watched a movie and I don’t actually know how i’m going to go to the bed and sleep. I felt like writing about that just after watching.
El Secreto de sus Ojos was the movie that I was planning to see for several weeks. Being awarded with 2009 Best Foreign Film Oscar, #182 on IMDb Top-250… I was quite sure that it would be entertaining. Since I would easily be able to place 5-6 Latin American/Spanish films to my top 20, I was ready to rate this one with high marks as well.
And I hopefully didn’t fail. This was one of the best scenarios I’ve ever seen. The plot, characters, quotes, music, Buenos Aires in 70’s… the famous Huracan-Racing game scene… the elevator scene… change of “temo” to “te amo”… okay that’s too much spoiler already…
By the way, the stadium scene… Well, it’s obvious that it’s impossible to shoot such a sequence without the use of 3d effects. But it was so clean and smooth that no one could be able to find any discontinuity in the frames… From the bird’s view over the stadium, till the close-up on Esposito’s face. Go to http://features.cgsociety.org/story_custom.php?story_id=5559 to see how this 4:57 min long scene involves great art work.
