Francis Bacon was an artist tormented and tortured by his guilt, expressed in his work like no unbankrupt existential twentieth century society . His figures are oppressed by rectangular shapes lock them with his mouth open as if to cry or gasp for air. The bodies are reduced to flesh writhing sheer mass or moving like animals.
The artist never came to be accepted within the current world Surreal , his paintings went beyond the world of dreams to dissect the harsh reality that we are all little more than animals to the slaughterhouse.


Bacon was deeply atheist. In his painting is linked with the current existentialist , although he always denied such a relationship. He was obsessed with the painting of Velázquez , particularly with the Portrait of Pope Innocent X, which made several studies. Another of his most famous series was the Crucifixion , meaning for him as an atheist, like the idea of \u200b\u200bsacrifice, denying all meaning for the believer.
painting Francis Bacon is the less disturbing. Some of his creations inspired to create the monsters of the series game Silent Hill . work Masahiro Ito responsible for the design of the monsters of the game, seems to closely resemble the work of Bacon .


Until 19 April seen in the Prado Museum in Madrid a great example of the artist's work following the path of his life. Tables may not be pleasing to many, but certainly they have a strength and expression overwhelming, and this is what makes them a unique works.

is difficult to critique neutral about possibly one of the adaptations of comic the most anticipated big screen. Watchmen war has been much can be made into a film, and it seems that has not been an acclaimed blockbuster. multitude of fans are unhappy with the film.

Why? They expected something else, something that was up to the original ... another masterpiece but this time held in the cinema. Maybe they expected a new "300" but with the complex plot of the graphic novel More. Impossible.

's graphic novel Alan Moore and Gibbons is, few doubt, one of the greatest jewels in the world of comic . The complexity of its plot, the stories of each of their characters, their continuous temporal leaps, his tone in more than 200 pages was certainly something really difficult and risky to film. Nothing to do with "300" where the point is the epic tone, much easier to adapt to another medium.

On the contrary, part of the greatness of Watchmen, "the comic - is precisely the development of the story from page to page, in the details of the plot. A movie completely faithful to a history of this type would take at least 5 hours, and would be more like the dull Kurosawa Japanese film that the move "300."


Again, the problem is that the gente no acaba de comprender que el cine, la literatura y el mundo del cómic , por mucho que puedan parecerse a veces, no tienen nada que ver, y cada uno de ellos, usa un lenguaje diferente.

Aunque todos ellos usen imágenes, siguen siendo medios completamente distintos. Ésto parecerá una obviedad, pero visto ciertas críticas de Watchmen y a otras adaptaciones, creo que tal vez convendría recordarlo. Una película puede ser mejor o peor adaptación fiel de una novela o un cómic , pero lo que no hay duda es que, desde luego, es una obra diferente plasmada en otro medio, y debería tener un valor único como tal, no como mera copia of the original story.


Personally, I like a lot and I reread Watchmen from beginning to end before seeing the film. On the contrary, I read the comic time ago, did not remember all the details, and I'm glad for it. When I went to see Sin City the movies I remember I had a feeling that was going to read the comic , only this time I was on a movie screen. The result was that I was not sure what story was that they were telling me. And of course, I knew the end ...

For that reason, I recommend reading the comic bit before seeing the film. Otherwise it will always be a byproduct of work in which it is based, and completely lose their identity. Film and literature or comic belong to different worlds, and we must always know how far either with their own forms of expression and to differentiate them.


About Watchmen I do not think it is a poor fit, an aberration, etc as I have read about. The movie, of course, does not reach the height of another masterpiece that has the comic , but expect it may be too. Beyond its use and often abuse, the slowdowns (which seem to be fashionable), I further details of "modernez" is not a bad movie. Without being a masterpiece of cinema, Zack Snyder defends is trying the difficult work of Moore . No doubt it's made to please a young audience, known for its extreme violence rarely, and is garnished with is certainly a good soundtrack, using absolute temazos of the 60-80 it is not difficult recognize.

The look of the film is impeccable, and adequately convey the decadent air surrounding the alternative America Moore. And he goes wrong with it tampco the costumes of the characters, always so sensitive in such films does not seem out of tune too, even though the outfits of each isolated, also comic may be even ridiculous.

characters in terms of characterization and action are pretty good, and, as I remember-not stray far from those described by Moore. Rorschach, the thread of the story, I was pleasantly surprised.


On the other hand, many find Watchmen, sure, certain points in common with The Dark Knight . The truth is that everything you have in common with the last delivery Batman is not rather than what is actually embodied in Moore's novel . Perhaps this is one of the reasons why there seems to be too surprised the movie: The Dark Knight and beat him to the humanization of Batman, and another similar story, this time made on various super-heroes, does not seem very original in comparison.


In any case, Watchmen is not bad as a movie for entertainment. The greatness of the work of Moore is not comparable to the film, but to have a good time, Watchmen is not a bad choice. To see a masterpiece, you can always go to the comic of Moore. Certainly, that hardly disappoint.

Valkyrie Watchmen



Hitchcock's nightmare reflected in L Birds I was not but a prelude to what would be the apocalyptic film would continue during the following decades.

natural disasters, animals mysterious virus ... showing human helplessness against an enemy against which it is able to cope: the nature rebelled against the excesses human.

Are nuclear power plants causes pollution, toxins released the environment, one's own destiny that punishes men for attack both your own home? There is never a clear answer to why the attacks, only the certainty that they are increasingly ma s lethal and indiscriminate.

In these films, there is usually no actual heroes, rather the players as the Brenner Micht in birds, are totally frustrated not to do anything other than run continuously cons loved ones . The enemy is so powerful that the confrontation only leads to annihilation, and often humanity is left with only pray that all will soon end.

is why these films are apocalyptic , because no escape possible for the situations faced by characters, but the government can not interfere in the best, and at worst even aggravate the situation .
survival becomes an individual thing, you can not save a community of individuals, as neither the police can do nothing effective against the threat, but it is only a few can escape or be saved using its own wit, but always depending on your own good luck to them almost miraculously free of the threat that live side by side. The

host was a movie that do following Film the wake of apocalyptic revived the genre of films with monster, and gave a new life. The Korean film, which won the Fantasy Film Festival Horror and Sitges 2006, showed what was already predicted Hitchcock in birds: Human nature facing as payment for their attacks against continuous the environment, a speech perfectly valid today we live in the effects of climate change.

The complete confusion of all victims of what is happening, the incompetence of the authorities to do something respect, the confusion about the actual threat prodecencia .... are all elements that The Host will tacking to get create an oppressive atmosphere surrounding the bizarre characters, of course, Hollywood dreams or had chosen to make a movie.

The incident of M. Night Shyamalan's own baby of The host many of the details are disturbing film traces the history of monster Han River. Although of course, the history of T I Host still has major differences with that of Night , The incident remains an American-style film, despite everything, and The host has the virtue to embarrass any Western viewer with its quirky mix of comedy and drama and unusual characters. Still, the story of Night is even darker than the one directed by Bong Joon-ho, and not even a touch optimistic given the Korean director at the end of your movie.

I think it is good to do a summary about the incident because everything I've read does not do justice loose or directly account all p elícula . The films of this genre are based on the peak generated by the characters involved in a particular atmosphere, which can be more or less well done and be more or less credible, De depends this great extent that the horror genre keep the viewer sitting in a chair unable to stop watching the screen rather than break out laughing.
For me, the incident demonstrates once again as biennial n Shyamalan handling the horror-fantasy. And being also of the few directors who write their own movies, his script, but as always with great little touch that should be given some license , results from the few stories Different to all that we have used the American cinema. A story based on some facts of real character that brings just the right touch to be slightly disturbing.
