Ommioddio Tuailaaaait!

I still remember a recent episode of collective madness when, during the Rome Film Festival two years ago, I saw him walking on the red carpet at the two young protagonists of the most anticipated movie of the millennium, behind six rows of ragazzine scalpitanti. Avatar ? Il sequel di " Citizen Kane " diretto da un Orson Welles zombie ? No, macchè... Twilight!

Non mi piace troppo Kristen Stewart . Non mi piace Robert Pattinson . E non mi piace neanche la saga di Twilight , se è per questo.

Però...c'è da dire che nel panorama cinematografico mondiale è sempre più comune parlare di adolescenti oppure parlare AD adolescenti . Che è ben diverso.

Prendo come esempio proprio la signorina Stewart che, durante la sua esordiente carriera, has already gone through both phases, but unfortunately for her, ran aground in the muddy pit that is the teen movie: so-called teen movie that we all know well. Indeed, in addition to the above Twilight Saga (film three episodes per hour), will co-star of "The Runaways " with Dakota F Anning, the heinous child of "War of the Worlds " of Spielberg.
I, in his defense, I am also convinced that it is not a bad actress, maybe it is a deeply nasty girl (I infer from the photoshoot of the various premieres and the people who choose to play the movies) but surely the roles that until now has been given has been able to take on the big screen with good quality results. I will not dwell too much on the speech of Bella Swan Twilight and company " beautiful" (kill that funny guy) because, as a character best known for his later paper, the lynching risk never having read any book of the Saga Meyer's . I decided, as I usually go through a little of confrontation that is as guiding their interpretations of Stewart.

examines the film "Speak [ Speak - Words

unspoken , 2004], which is also known for his translation film essay by Laurie Halse Anderson and won the award for best film at the Woodstock Film Festival . Very similar in theme but not by mode of staging, the recent (and vastly superior) "Precious : based on the novel Push by Sappho ire " listings for a number of Oscar during this 'Last of the award Academy Awards.
films have many elements in common. Both are from novels by female authors, and both tell stories of adolescent girls violate e con situazioni difficili da affrontare in famiglia. Queste sono pellicole formalmente mature che affrontano l'argomento dell'adolescenza e tutte le problematiche che ad essa sono collegate , attraverso la rappresentazione di un evento traumatico. Ad ogni storia, ovviamente, segue un suo sviluppo particolare, per cui in Speak è presente il tema molto forte della incomunicabilità del trauma subito attraverso le sole parole e una forma di salvezza nell'arte visiva. In Precious, invece, la realtà di profonda povertà in cui è immersa la famiglia della protagonista ci permette di riflettere sullo squallore e la totale incoscienza di una violenza subita che, agli occhi di a spectator, it is clear and abhorrent.
These themes reflect the intent of social film to tell a slice of real life and an instant, indeed, social living conditions of American teenager, who is black or white.
I must admit that I admire very Precious the manner in which these themes are expressed, the strong subjectivity that is perceived during the passage of the sequences. We live in the skin of the drama Precious, the obese girl violated by her father, through his eyes and his imagination. In some sequences there is a sort of isolation from reality, a little journey with open eyes in the depths of the imagination, where she dreams to be loved, courted, to live a peaceful life. Other sequences, however, have the lead in the grotesque and ridiculous, but on the whole I think the film deserves to be seen. Returning

the keynote speech, the film Twilight [Twilight - Eagle Pictures , 2008] , as we all know, also uses performance " pouting "of Kristen Stewart, but through a filter is very different from that of Speak . This (or rather, these, since it is a saga) are immature film for adolescents. The target aim is not the same, since there is no direct introspection, any staging of subjectivity, there is no reflection of any kind. This I believe is questionable, because they are not a great expert on the films in the saga, having seen only one and not knowing at all the books, but unless there is a sort of allegorical interpretation of the story between vampires and werewolves sbrilluccicanti by abdominal titanic, I do not read any evidence of self-consciousness. These films not treat the theme of adolescence, they just tell a story adolescents, creating a product uniquely suited to their use.
Nothing to be condemned, mind you, to each his own, but it's just a great big difference that should be taken into account.

This was a small digression on the issues that usually stretch, hoping to write more often for shorter articles, while still maintaining my critical eye without getting lost in the "quantity .
