Her work is different but in some ways relates to yours I think.<br /><br />Realism is a powerful weapon. Horror too by the way - daring to look into the face of our own demons. Ultimately everything human must bring us closer to be more humane. Sometimes it's the hard lessons of life we need to face. I wish you good luck with your career.bennjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744631971720435779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156600768171354842.post-16036995459499899462014-12-10T19:20:28.550-05:002014-12-10T19:20:28.550-05:00Impresionante película, la verdad.

E incluso hay varios premios para esta película. ¡Enhorabuena!<br /><br />Muy buena actuación y gran idea de Jac de retratar con toda su crudeza la época de la Inquisición, con sus sombras y codicias, todo ello en nombre de una religión que los mismos inquisidores ni siquiera practicaban. Intenso y desolador ver cómo por dichos y codicia pudieron sufrir miles de mujeres. Los testimonios dejan más huella aún y los procedimientos inquisidores sin censuras muestran a qué punto de crueldad puede llegar el ser humano.<br /><br />Y también aplaudo el rigor y la interpretación tanto de Amy como de Mila. Además, para estar acorde con la ambientación de la época grabasteis todas vuestras escenas completamente desnudas y con abundancia de vello púbico. Es un gesto para aplaudir, puesto que muchas películas intentan mostrar una ambientación del pasado y las actrices llevan el pubis rasurado (o incluso completamente depilado), justo como la tendencia actual. Y eso quita realismo y ya el dramatismo no es tanto. Así que gracias por haber querido filmar sin miedo mostrando todo el vello púbico. Gracias y a continuar así.RTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156600768171354842.post-27859740550173964862014-08-30T10:35:31.803-04:002014-08-30T10:35:31.803-04:00Hi Andrew, I think that crass language in a film i...Hi Andrew, I think that crass language in a film is something to be used in moderation, when that effect is needed.

Sometimes, the result can be obfuscating. <br /><br />Often, my motivations for acting in any film are based upon the story itself, the deeper meaning therein, and my connection to the character. Later this year, I'm kicking ass in an action film.
