I am not an homophobic :) "Before Night Falls"


I saw this film some years ago and today I would like to share it with you, also it remind me of a great night in a gay club in Berlin, Berghain. I wanna dedicate this film to all my gay friends and to some of my friends who thought that night in Berlin that I was a homophobic just because I said: "Oh my God, I've never seen so many gays together" it was a great night :)
“Before Night Falls” is such a vivid experience that it holds you fully in each moment. Even if you’ve read the memoir of the Cuban novelist and poet Reinaldo Arenas on which the film is based, from scene to scene there’s no telling how painter-turned-director Julian Schnabel, or his wonderful star, Javier Bardem, will tackle what comes next. “Feverish” has been the word used to describe the movie in many of its reviews. But in confidence and sensuality “Before Night Falls” suggests the calm that can come with fever, that heightened and slowed state of awareness where each perception and sensation takes on a vibrant clarity.
The movie isn’t always a model of clarity. Schnabel immerses us in the atmosphere before giving us our bearings and he doesn’t always identify the characters or their relation to each other. But the occasional confusions are a small price to pay for a director who places enough trust in his audience’s intelligence to not spell everything out for them, to work allusively rather than declaratively to convey the meanings of Reinaldo Arenas’ life.

This Must Be the Place and more Sean Penn


This Must Be the Place is a 2011 drama film directed by Paolo Sorrentino. The film was an Italian majority production with co-producers in France and Ireland. Principal photography began in August 2010. Filming took place in Ireland, Italy, as well as the states of Michigan, New Mexico and New York. The film played in competition at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.


The Tree of Life is a 2011 American drama with experimental elements written and directed by Terrence Malick. After decades in development and missed 2009 and 2010 release dates, the film premiered in competition at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palme d'Or. The film received overwhelmingly positive reviews for its technical and artistic merits, but there were also polarizing reactions in response to Malick's directorial style and, in particular, the film's fragmented non-linear narrative.


The Assassination of Richard Nixon is a 2004 American film, directed by Niells Mueller. It is based on the story of would-be assassin Samuel Byck, who plotted to kill Richard Nixon in 1974. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival.

And those are only some films where Sean Penn makes spending two hours of our day time on watching a movie just amazing.
