3. WHY "Azuloscurocasinegro" IS A FILM CAREER? NOTES FOR THE ENTERTAINER.
We are told in the film's official website that "Azulsocurocasinegro is a mood, an uncertain future, one color. A color that sometimes do not recognize that, depending on what light, what prism and what attitude you look at change. A color that reminds us that we often make mistakes and sometimes things are not the color that we see. " Find it necessary to start with this quote to frame the film, because it sometimes does not get to express this intention, being a bit fuzzy. It is a well constructed story at times, but in other cases it is unrealistic and unlikely.
The film tells the story of George, a guy like so many others. And around it are developing different relationships with different characters: his father, his brother, his girlfriend, his friend and eventually his brother's girlfriend. All bring something, all part of his life but we will focus especially him, because the history of Israel who discovers his friend his father's homosexuality and his own, I think that contributes much to our vocational interests. It is even a dollop in the narrative.
And who is George? George is a life unfulfilled. He lives in a way, the slave of his situation, a situation he has no choice. He wanted to escape his father and work in the goal (first frame of film) and has ended up being a slave to his father (patient) and work on that goal from which he fled. No goalie likes to work because it is something he has not chosen. In his spare time has been taking business career, but slavery is such that it can not not attend the ceremony of awarding diplomas. Looking for work and fails. He has no experience and his current work weighs heavily seems to take away prestige.
Jorge is also dissatisfied with his love life. The relationship with his girlfriend up simply because he does not feel sufficiently worthy. Natalia did not discover anything in proud, but it seems that is the same Jorge who feel self-conscious and "borrowed." She has always fled without daring to break completely. Natalia In the last discussion he reveals his own truth: "You shield yourself in your father and your brother, but you will not let you live."
In this context Jorge received a surprising request: to sleep with his brother's girlfriend so you can get pregnant. At first I accepted, but after hearing the story of Paula, her suffering, deception and abuse that has lived, ending almost worth clicking and also find something new (is the fate unchangeable?). The relationship of sex without love, it will be transformed into true love when the two give way to exchange feelings. It
highlight the decision to Paula. Mistreated in prison, seeking to become pregnant to go to the maternity module and escape from who made her suffer. We could say that using the child as a means to a selfish end. But it is not always the case. We can make a more open and suggestive interpretation to discover that maternity Paula makes free, leaving behind all their troubles. Continue living in prison, but more free.
the end, George takes two decisions out of their dissatisfaction. Escape the goal keeper to end up being another property. Jorge admits to his friend to "look for something to continue deceiving." It is still here, but in a suit "Azuloscurocasinegro." Wants to leave behind her father and brother, who leaves ignoring stab the father has given his brother. But to no avail. The last image of film is very telling, as it seems that everything ends in a personal failure. However it is open to multiple interpretations and it seems that history is still open to some extent.
The other decision is to leave his longtime girlfriend, Paula, which still has three years in prison. Perhaps this is a risky decision and truly open and unpredictable results. But it seems that one has realized that the relationship with Natalia never work and decides to overturn. So
Azulsocurocasinegro offers an antihero who decides to build the edifice of his life with other elements (Paula and other end, love and work) while escape from reality. Is one who does not win, not exceed their frustrations and their inferiority complex and changing ends to adapt the situation somewhat. George tries to build its personality, its own identity in the midst of a competitive society.
Last two notes:
- A commentary found in the blogosphere: "Behind the drama, the story hides an aura of optimism that, as reads the poster for the film: if you do not like the color of your life can be able to change it. "
- Text of the director: "The art of resignation and difficult process of learning is not only what happened to me haa me, but everything that contains the film in her womb. DarkBlueAlmostBlack is a story about characters who struggle against fate, against what is supposed to be written "in the stars." Characters caught on the other side of the crystal, fine crystal that faint, almost invisible but impossible to ignore, separating them from their dreams, against which beat constantly and forget daily with the ease of a freshwater minnow. Characters that do not differentiate between what they want and what they need, which costs them to resign, they want everything. And, little by little, they should learn to stop resisting, to stop swimming against the tide, not as a sign of conformity, but on the contrary, assume its own limitations, in order start moving. Little by little. To end on a completely different place they dreamed of, but equal to or more welcoming and pleasant. " Azuloscurocasinegro

Two interesting reviews:

A final consideration about sex. The film is the idea of \u200b\u200bsex frequently and in questionable circumstances and even unacceptable. Care should be taken so that the debate will not be here. Anyway, though no nudity, sex scenes are not explicit and are presented with tenderness.

Life-Cycle
• Always need to know when to just one stage of life. If you insist on staying in it beyond the time, you lose the joy and sense of rest. Closing circles, or closing doors or closing chapters, whatever you call it. The important thing is to close them, and let go moments of life to be decommissioned.
• Did you finish your work?, "Your relationship is over?, Are not live more in that house?, "You must go away?," The relationship is over?. You can spend much time in your present "wallowing" in the reasons, to return the tape and try to understand what happened this or that fact.
• Wear will be infinite, because in life, you, me, your friend, your sons, your brothers, we all are on track to be closing chapters, go turning the page, to end stages, or moments of life and move on.
• We can not have this yearning for the past. Not even wondering why. What happened, happened, and must be released, is to be discarded. We can not be eternal children or late teens or employees of non-existent, or links to those who do not want to be tied to us.
• The facts go and let them go! So sometimes it is so important to destroy souvenirs, gifts presents, moving house, ripping paper, throwing papers, and sell or give away books.
• External changes may symbolize internal process improvement. Letting go, drop, discard. In life no one played with marked cards, and must learn to lose and win. You have to let go, you have to turn the page, must live only what we have at present.
• The past is gone. Do not wait to get it back, no expect to be recognized, do not expect ever to realize who you are. Release the resentment. The turn on "your personal television" to give and give to the matter, all that does is hurt you mentally, poison and bitterness. • Life is
forward, never backward. If you walk through life leaving open door, just in case, you can never let go and live as of today with satisfaction. "Dating or friends not closed down?," Possibilities of return? (What?) Need for clarification?, Words that were not said?, "Silences that invaded?
• If you can face them and now, do it, if not, let go, closing chapters. Tell yourself that no, not again. But not for pride or arrogance, but because you no longer fit in there in that place in his heart, in that room in that house at that office, that office.
• You're not the same as you were two days ago, three months ago, a year ago. Therefore, there is nothing to return. Close the door, turn the page, close the circle. Thou shalt not be the same, or the environment when you return will be equal, because in life nothing stays still, nothing is static. It is mental health, love yourself, releasing what is no longer in your life.
• Remember that nothing and no one is indispensable. Not one person neither a place nor a job. Nothing is vital for life because when you came to this world, came without the sticker. Therefore, it is customary to live close to it, and is a personal work learning to live without him, without human or physical bonding that today it hurts to let go.
• is a process of learning to let go and humanly possible to accomplish, because I repeat: nothing and no one is indispensable. Only habit, addiction, need. But close, close, clean, strip, oxygenates, Let go, shake, let go.
• There are many words to mean mental health and whatever you choose, you will definitely help and to move forward with confidence. That
is life!
