It already does a time (rapid what happens!) I went to see Incarnation and did the criticism in the blog. I was defending that the movie was superficial and a wanton in the topics who was treating. Many have agreed with me. But I have surprised that the people who was not sharing this criterion with me, not only they were not agreeing, but they were radically in against.
It is a debate which also I have met in the street. In some dinners with friends they have emphasized to me that seems almost heroic to them that a mammoth production that comes from the big industry has dared to defend with so much force values ecológistas.
In the same blog, with fidoboy we have supported an interesting debate. Essentially, he was defending that his esthetic beauty and the visual impact that they produce, help to make us permeable to the ideas that the movie tries to transmit. Also, it discovers certain references to the relation that some tribes establish with the way.
With regard to this 2 comments occur to me;
I do not believe that anybody doubts of the importance that they have for all of us what the movie raises. There are very deep questions and that formulate the keys of our existence; does he have sense our life? where from are we? where do we go? are we destroying our environment? how do we treat the others? does everything use if the end is very valuable? what price must we pay for the progress?
It costs, ok. I have raised big questions. But: does that imply that this post is deep and touches big topics? Man, perhaps yes that touches them. But no, it is not deep. At least not till now. Just as the Cameron movie.
There are many movies that do a much more serious dealing on this topic; better almost always of the northerly directors; “The seventh stamp” of Bergman, Breaking the waves of Lars Von Trier, Dies Irae or The passion of Juana de Arco de Dreyer are only some examples.
There are movies for a very elitist public. I realize. But it is not necessary to go that far. There are wonderful and very commercial movies simultaneously that treat as a much more serious form two debates that the movie raises; the spirituality and the respect to the environment. And, in some cases they are much focused on the big public.
10 orders, The formless pelican, Wall - e, Children of the men, Gattaca, Jurassic Park are some examples. There are others that treat it as badly as Incarnation but equal sound of TV/radio commercials, like Tomorrow, 2012 or Waterworld. Other movies treat it as an indirect form, for example, proving to be a sweetheart for the way. Movies since Liberate Willy or Bambi are not environmental manifestoes, but they do very much for him. There are even movies that treat on the dominance of the human being in movies like The colossus in flames or Titanic.
The second point is almost an extension of the first one. The reading that does of our relation with the way is very superficial. I already accept that the human beings we have not treated everything well that we should have done the planet. Now then, hence to come to the conclusion that the model to be continued the prehistoric tribes are, there is a stretch.
I believe that there is something of true in that we should more that to learn to recover certain aspects of the life of the life of our ancestors. But the idealization of this life …: What life expectancy did they have? With the illness: how much were they suffering? What quantity of different food could they enjoy? How many options to do different things (be called a freedom) did they have? What political system (extremely hierarchic, at least as far as I know) did they have? What dealing was given to more dweebs in the social scale? Does housing deign? And worthy work? Wars? Safety?
It is clear that we have many things to be changed. There keeps on being a lot of famine, calamities, the people who suffers … But I believe that we would be wrong if we were thinking that most of the "bad" things that we do form sound "gratuíta". We do it with a "good" end.
When we put the air conditioning to a too low temperature, we do not do it gathering the bridge of the nose and rubbing the hands thinking about all the evil that we are going to cause. And the movie shows it as if of that it was talking each other.
I have to admit that only I am surprised partly that the movie is considered by many like deep. Sometimes, with good faith, we tend to confuse the defense of positive values with intelligent speech. But I believe that it is a serious strategy error. I prefer a speech that puts in crisis my positions that staunch but flat defenses.
Incarnation is clear that it has generated many controversy, but basically between defenders and detractors of his quality. But Earth and the human being will not sit the bases of any reunion between the planet. És only one blockbuster like Tomorrow and in that it will stay. And if not, to the time.
