What would you do?


A lot of posts this week! But this one, like the free hugs campaign (if you haven't seen it yet, I strongly suggest you'd stop reading this crap and go see it. It will add more to your day), deserves to be posted.

European cinema is usually very good. Sometimes too dark, sometimes too boring, sometimes too deep for my few brain cells to process. But again, usually, very good. And this movie was a fantastic example of what an american movie can almost never accomplish. It was very European - in the sense of being a movie with not much action, but based on people and dialogue - and, let me say, it was fantastic.

The movie is called "El Metodo", and it was translated as "What would you do?" in portuguese. It's a spanish movie, and it is the story of 7 people that are competing for a job in a big company. When they arrive in the company, they are told to go into a room to fill in a form. And then, the test begins.
It's a really intelligent and interesting movie. Also very unsual, since they pretty much stay in the room. But really, very very good. It's when you see a movie done like that that you realize sometimes you don't need the bombs, the fireworks, all the big production. All you need is good actors, a good script and a director that doesn't depend on loads of money from the studio to make something great.
