THE OTHERS - LOS OTROS
During this month, we should watch the Spanish movie Los Otros - The others.
It is a very interesting movie, maybe you cannot learn from it about Spanish customs or culture, but you can really know how it is possible for an Spanish director and technical team to prepare a very well done and imaginative movie.
Post a comment once you have watched it and tell us your opinion about the movie.

A woman named Grace retires with her two children to a mansion on Jersey, towards the end of the Second World War, where she's waiting for her husband to come back from battle. The children have a disease which means they cannot be touched by direct sunlight without being hurt in some way.

Thanks to Alejandro Amenábar.I was impressed by it’s orginality. We are not scared by cheap tricks.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. It is a movie that maybe it is not representative about Spanish history or customs but it is an example of how a very high quality cinema can be done in Spain, with imagination and a really good script and idea.
ReplyDeleteLos Otros is an interesting and chilling film.I really liked and impressed by the sad photos of the dead children.

ReplyDeleteLos otros impressive and quality film...I watched with great excitement..
ReplyDeleteSomething curious is to know that, for example, my grandfather and his father used to have a funerary company and we had at home pictures with death people, above all children, exactly as it is shown in Los Otros.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the best movies I have seen and one of the top horror stories ever told. It's creepy and eerie.
ReplyDeleteI was impressed by the enchanting simplicity of the plot and the haunting atmosphere that loomed over everything from beginning to end.
ReplyDeleteI loved this movie so much! I like scary stuff but not gory stuff, this was perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt's the kind of movie that lets you escape reality for a while by entertaining you, but at the same time, returns you to the "real world"wondering if there isn't some possibility of truth... Chilling.
ReplyDeleteGreat Post on online tickets booking. It avoids large queues and save money and time. I prefer to buy using bookmyshow coupons
