IB Role

Fran Guerini: Michel Bay -- Transformers (1 and 2)

Camila Brea: Tim Burton -- Alice In Wonderland

Inaky: Martin Scorsese -- Shutter Island

Lucas: Stanley Kubrick -- Clockwork Orange / The Shining

According to Fran, the importance of a director is directly linked with the box office production and so to the entertainment generated from this movie. Camila has a slighter different point of view, just like Lucas, she finds that this director reflects a certain part from herself and is due to that that they pick this director as their favourite. Inaky has a slighter mixed point of view, as he enjoys certain movies that at the same time reflect a certain part of his personality or taste.

We agree that the Director's role is both everything and nothing. If the rest of the team runs smoothly, the director's voice should be heard just for some personal touches. He makes the movie, but without an editor and script he is nothing. The director is the movie, as his makes the movie and extension of himself. This is why

In the cases we have selected for example Tim Burton or Scorcese tend to work with a very specific group of people, like being Leonardo Di Caprio, Johnny Depp, or Helena Bonham Carter.

Boogie, el aseitoso (2009)

Boogie, el aceitoso is a cartoon movie based in the marvellous "Negro" Fontanarossa comics. A mixture between comics, 3D, animation and lots of other techniques combine to make this extremely bizarre and fantastic. This is not for everyone, as critics are really deep and lots of people might be offended. A straight and euphemism less critic to the american warrior.

With quotes like: -Why does one create jobs for the poor?

- I am of that big racist culture, the one who hates the poor.

Rating: **** (4 stars)
