What must have been what caught the attention of Kenneth Branagh - an actor and theater director trained in the classic British - to accept direct a movie like Thor ? It is clear that the conflict between father and children - very typical of Shakespeare - was undoubtedly a hook to attract Branagh (who is no stranger to the fantastic productions filmed it, several years ago, Frankenstein of Mary Shelley ) could be attracted by the opportunity to explore through imagination, emotional and psychological issues that traditionally have seemed attractive.
So when it comes to showing more attached to Thor and mythological classical theater, is when Branagh's film works much better. The director is an expert in telling their stories through of heroes who must confront his own destiny, heroes falling and rising eventually to occupy their rightful place in the universe. The world of conspiracies and intrigues is a world in which the British director knows how to move and shoot with skill what happened in the fictional kingdom of Asgard : Rise and fall of Thor, the betrayal of Loki, the loyalty of the friends of the god of thunder and intelligence, toughness and serenity of Odin to give a lesson of humility to his haughty but noble son.
The problem of the film is when Branagh out of Asgard and bring his film to New Mexico, when the story loses steam. The "real" characters lack the personality attractive and well-defined if they have the "Norse gods" and thus the dramatic conflicts are not credible. We could eliminate most of the story of Thor on Earth (and your little convincing romance with Jane Foster ) and have a great movie, añádanle Earth's history and the result is a fun film that has no greater significance.
Yet the film is entertaining. Knowing the acting talents of Anthony Hopkins , Branagh puts the initial conflict of the film in the character of Odin. Hopkins gives a performance whose strength lies in the perfect handling of the "timing" when reciting their lines, namely: a powerful king, patient and well aware of what course to take Thor to fulfill his destiny. Later all will focus on the performance of Chris Hemsworth and - particularly - in the superb interpretation of Tom Hiddleston as the villain of the film, who will present the eternal struggle between brothers for power and recognition of an overwhelming father figure. Both meet the requirements of their characters. Natalie Portman is a victim of the insignificance of the part of the story set in New Mexico and hence his character is weak and contributes little to the credibility of the film.
Paradoxically - because it is a big budget film and led to mass consumption - with Thor Branagh reaffirms its position as a director more attached to the classic film to large format film and budget. I can assume he will return to directing such films long as the script allows you to approach the best ever filmed: the emotional and moral.
PS1 ... The National march against violence called by the poet Javier Sicilia have multiple readings.
At first the march was successful because he managed to regain citizenship public space as a place to express, collectively, concerns and demands on such sensitive issues like the violence. He also managed to interest many people who normally turn away from any kind of political issue, but they are also tired of living in a climate of violence like that today exists in Mexico.
On the other hand, it is necessary for movement emergence of a political agenda - driven from the public - to provide an ideological approach to grounds during the demonstration. We are in a pluralist movement that needs to find a line of political thought to contribute to shaping. Only in this way the requirements and approaches that occurred yesterday, could become proposals that could be adopted in the institutional life of the country, but the movement runs the risk of becoming an exciting event ephemeral product of a moment, if complex, but totally and completely conjectural.
is important ciudadanice politics today, it takes away from the political parties that have kidnapped. It is possible that the movement had last Sunday a climax with the movement in almost all the Republic, may be the trigger that will allow and not solely to recover the public space of citizenship, but also the political space.
