Fahrenheit 451

Possibly, is one of my favorite books, not the only one, but is the book that I must talk right now.

Fahrenheit 451, from the master of the science fiction, Ray Bradbury, is a dystopian book from 1953.

This book is simply amazing, interesting and beautiful and speak about the society in a unspecified future. In this future, the government decided that the firemans not turn off the fire, but they create the fire. The fire to disappears the books and all that the books have to say us.

¿Why the fire in the books sound so dystopian, so horrible?

Because the books are all of us because the books speak about our history, about our memories, about that we are and about will be in the future.

In this horrible society, the government decides that people does not have think, doesn´t have questions about the world or the society or the injustice. So they decide that people have to burn his books and turn on the TV. The people have to watch, breath and learn from the TV. The people need fun all day long and stop thinking about the things that the society questions from the beginning of the times. So then the people will be happy and will not have complications

It´s not necessary that I must speak more about the book because you have to decide if you have to read this book (or other books, obviusly) or you want to turn the TV and watch the news.

All I need to say is:

"The sun burnt every day. It burnt time… Time was busy burning the years and the people anyway, without any help from him. So if he burnt things with the firemen and the sun burnt time, that meant that everything burnt!”

Really, i don´t want to speak about one person or one expert on my field, Cinematography. I want to speak about many of them, about the supposed experts on my field, because from outside, all the people are experts but in the practice, some few.

Why i speak about this? Because in the history of the cinema, many guys who say be experts on the cinema, engaged to criticize and talk about movies constantly, saying those who are good directors, which is good cinema, who deserves the Oscar, the golden globes or winning the Cannes festival.
From this way, the only think they get, its to support or destroy carrers according to what they want or what they should.

Really, It´s very easy speak about a movie, about the photography or about the history of a film. But is difficult to make one, is a lot of teamwork that depends of many persons, who must give their best to get a good movie.

I want to say one director in special, he are great critic and film theorist, but also great directors. Martin Scorsese, all my respect.

Drive

Nicolas Windign Refn is one of the most polemics directors in Hollywood. With few movies like Bronson (2009), Drive (2011) and Only God Forgives (2012), put his name in the world of cinema. He have many others movies, but this movies are the most famous because he use two amazing actors like Tom Hardy in Bronson and Ryan Gosling in Drive and Only God Forgives. And he have a very definite style.

I´m not sure that Drive are my favorite movie, maybe it´s impossible to me say one film. For me, decide about one film, depends of the moment, context and the quality of the film.

Drive, without doubts is a very special movie of a very special director, who condense in this film the perfect combination between the form and the history.

Since the first scene of Drive, i note that the treatment of the photography and the sound would be amazing.

Because the light, the movement and the color in each plane has the intention of represents something or say something to us. And the music that sounds is truly beautiful, because the soundtrack of the movie is one of the best that I heard in my life. It´s really incredible the work in this case, because Drive is a very silent movie, that shine for the absence of dialogs and the calm of the protagonist. Because Ryan Gosling say very few things in all the movie.... does not even says his name. But, we know perfectly well that his eyes and what we see in every shot tell us all what the story needs, what we need to understand.

The story is also very nice, it's based on a book, but I heard many people say that this adaptation is much better. Explains a driver of risky scenes in movies which is also mechanical. Of whom we know nothing more, until he meets a woman, the amazing Carey Mulligan, through which the protagonist gets into a lot of problems, where appears actors like Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) or Ron Perlman (Hellboy). These end up solving problems so incredible and filmed scenes of revenge and violence that leave us impressed.

I don´t want to say anymore about the movie, because i want that you see the movie.

Only i would say... You know the history about the scorpion and the frog?.
