El otro día fui al cine a ver Gran Torino, un peliculón que no debéis dejar pasar si os gusta el buen cine. En pocas palabras, esta película demuestra que con pocos medios se puede contar una buena historia (que esté Clint Eastwood al mando también ayuda), que hay películas que es mejor verlas en versión original (la voz de los pandilleros es ridícula, parecen salidos de una serie de dibujos animados del Disney Channel) y que los Oscar están más amañados que una escopeta de feria (¿8 Óscares a Slumdog Millonaire y ninguno a ésta? Por favor…). No es una película de acción ni de drama, es una película para reirte, disfrutar, y pensar en toda la hipocresía que hay por ahí suelta escondida detrás de lo políticamente correcto.
However, there is something that I found quite outrageous, which has nothing to do with the movie itself, but would make Walt pout and growl: the education of the people. The movie was scheduled for 10:40 and at that time the trailers began; It is normal that the lights are on when they are broadcast so that people can find their seats easily, but the fact is that people did not stop entering even when the movie had already started and the lights remained on… I understand that if they had turned off the lights, possibly there would have been more of a commotion by having to go blindly looking for seats, so I am not going to say that it was an incorrect attitude on the part of the cinema, but if people know that the movie starts at a certain time, let them be at that time, for education, more than anything.
