How I Met Your Mother (2005)
How I Met Your Mother. Conclussion.
Contains minor spoilers.
How I Met Your Mother has ended
. A series that more than a series was a company, more than six years ago I started watching this story and today the end has come. I read something on the web that said that if someone foreign to the series watches a separated chapter will think that is a funny and charming show, but won't relate much with it. But for those who have followed this series in its whole duration, and becoming a constant thing for so many years, it's a lot more. The in-jokes from the show remain in our heads and every time they reappear they are immediately and happily captured and understood, the same happens with every single detail in the story. Through all that time it was impossible not to become fond, laugh out loud and being touched with each of the characters, with Ted, Robin, Barney, Lily and Marshall. And of course, with the mother, Tracy.
Ted, the main character, eternal romantic and pursuer of the love of his life. Robin,in my opinion the best character, the most funny and lovable, and the toughest with emotions. Barney, genius of geniuses, source of thousands of jokes and immortal quotes, amateur magician and a unstoppable womanizer, but loyal friend. Lily, sweeter and most adorable than everyone, and everyone's support friend. Marshall, lover of the supernatural, best friend and life partner. Tracy, the mother of all mothers, the perfect woman for Ted. And thousands and thousands of supporting characters adding very important details and plots.
That's the factor that distinguishes HIMYM from other series, at least for me. The connection generated with the characters. Flawed characters with whom you can identify, with comings and goings, problems and difficulties, but as the series left clearly exposed, despite the bumps in the road, all those things are part of something bigger, part of a life of sharing and loving, of friendship and fellowship. And yes, not everything goes as one expects or wishes and in the last chapter this is very clear. People that never change, that make sacrifices to change and that in the end stay exactly the same, for better or worse. And you can tell that this wasn't just the story about Ted and the Mother, it was the story about the entire gang, all of them looking for the same.
I've read a lot of texts from angry people unhappy with the way this show ended, and of course, one can be mad because it's a slap of sadness in the face, one very difficult to accept. But if it's well thought and having into account every thing that has happened in this story and specially and simply looking at the personalities of the characters, it's obvious and reasonable that everything comes to this end. From How I Met Your Mother I won't keep the bad reviews of the last season, nor the poor visual effects, nor the useless comparisons to Friends, or any other flaw it has. I will keep what I told before: a story of friends, a life story.
Última Parada 174 (2008)
Very entertaining and well told
I was recommended to see this movie. I didn't know that this movie was the Brazilian choice for the Oscars for Best Foreign Film and although it wasn't even nominates is still a very good movie. I say this because it tells a very hard story and it entertains you all the time. The movie relies on a very good direction, photography, music, good dialogs, but as I said what makes the movie likable is that is very entertaining and catches you in every moment, from the beginning to the end. Besides the acting is really good and realist, which is another strong point for the movie. Although there's no hero in this movie the characters are kind of lovable. One thing that I didn't fully understood is why do they present the two kids in the beginning if they are going to tell with more importance the story of only one of them, I understand that is for knowing their past and it helps to understand a lot, but one of the boys doesn't get the same importance of the other. And tough in the end, in the part of the bus assault there are some things rushed and that doesn't fit well, it's very good and engaging. I don't know what else to say, it is simply a very good movie that tells the life story of two children from the favelas of Rio De Janeiro and it's very good to see good stories about this subjects.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Very entertaining and excellent effects, but the story is very weak.
I said that I didn't want to lose again a Transformsers movie in the big screen, because when I saw the first one on DVD I wish I have seen it in the cinema, so for the second I went directly the opening weekend to see it. First i'm gonna talk about the special effects. They're excellent, and better than the first, I was seeing the first movie yesterday and I noted the difference. They can't be so good!, they're very well made, with everything as it should be, with the reflects, lights, everything. The great but great problem in Transformers 2 is it's script, because it has it's predecessor's problems multiplied by five. I'm not gonna say that this movie is bad, I would be lying because it entertains a lot, but I can say that the story is weak. Besides there are very bad solved things, or sometimes dialogs are unbearable of listening because they area meaningless or they are not well located, or because the actors scream all together and you can't understand nothing. There are a lot of unnecessary things, starting with two or three characters such us Alicia (I think the actress was beautiful and very sexy but if they wanted to catch Sam they would sent a big robot and solved problem), the stupid and unbearable Leo, or Galloway. NEST is okay, but it could have been shorter without making it so hard. Other Things: Sam's parents should have had less importance and time, because they don't reach anything to the story, only annoying noise, specially the mother. The final is kind of confusing because they go from a place to another as if everything was at 1 meter long and a lot of things are left with no cohesion or not understood. And the sort of Sam's "Spiritual experience " is very unnecessary. Out of all these things, the movie entertains big and I think that's most important to people. There's action form the beginning to the end, very well achieved and entertaining pursuits. If Michael Bay knows to do something is filming action sequences, with his movements he does spectacular things. I want to stand out the forest fights that are very good. And, in the end, World War 3 develops. Bombs, giants robots, planes, tanks, shoots, infinite spectacular explosions. This is very entertaining. Also the very first scene is very entertaining. There's a very good photography job with very good pictures (such us the picture when you can see a helicopter up Megan Fox)and the sounds are wonderful, it's a thousand of faces sound party. Shia LaBeouf is still lovable and has the face for blockbusters, and gives another funny and likable performance. Megan Fox
poor me! She's pleasure to see, and cracks the screen every time she's in it, indeed. She's better than as she was in the first, she has more protagonism and she has improved. The rest of the actors are good, the only thing is what I've already said about Sam's parents and Turturro who has to calm down a bit and talk slowly and not look like a crazy man. Finally, Transformers 2 succeeds i entertaining very very good giving incredible entertaining action sequences with excellent effects, but if it had a better script and a more coherent story it would have been a LOT better.
Sorry if my English is bad.
