Golden Globes 2016: El polémico golpe de Lady Gaga a DiCaprio en los Globos de Oro

El polémico golpe de Lady Gaga a DiCaprio en los Globos de Oro

Si bien puede que no resulte ser una sorpresa que la cantante ganara el galardón de actriz secundaria, el golpe que le dio a Leonardo DiCaprio al recibir el premio si lo fue.

Lady Gaga suele sorprender por extravagancia, pero en este caso,  fue por el golpe que le dio a Leonardo DiCaprio cuando se levantó de su asiento para caminar al escenario de los Golden Globe.
Tal como informó el medio DailyMail, Lady Gaga mostró cierta inestabilidad en su caminar y pasó a dar un certero golpe a DiCapio. Éste intentó que el hecho pasara inadvertido, pero no fue capaz de contener la risa.

La cantante además llamó la atención por su vestido, bastante alejado de lo que tiene acostumbrado al público. Un modelo clásico negro de los años 50, que junto a su peinado, la hacían verse muy parecida a Marilyn Monroe.

Bodysong is a 2003 BAFTA winning documentary about human life and the human condition directed by Simon Pummell and produced by Janine Marmot.

Synopsis

The film tells the story of an archetypal human life using images taken from all around the world and the last 100 years of cinema.
The images span the microcosm (inside the body), through the individual (the first cry of a new-born baby), to the macrocosm (accumulated archive footage of ritual celebration and the carnage of war).
The editing, music, and the mythic narrative arc of the material is designed to take the viewer on a roller coaster tour of the human body and life cycle. Every possible depiction of the human life from microscopic medical to portraits and newsreels, from births to deaths, are cut to a music track by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead to create a mythic narrative of the arc of a single life.
Hollywood director Paul Thomas Anderson saw the film at its Rotterdam Festival premiere: "I remember seeing bodysong and feeling like I was in a trance. A wonderful collection of the two simple things a film has to work with: pictures and music. It's a moving, scary and hypnotic potpourri of images and an experience that gets more lucid the more you watch ...The website, which is 50% of the experience is a testament to the strong, caring research and a dedication to wonderful material."[1]

Release

The film was released by Pathé in 2003 with a limited collector's edition released on DVD by the BFI in 2010, which included original essays by William Gibson, Geoff Andrew, Gareth Evans and Matt Hanson.

Awards

The film won a BAFTA Interactive Award in 2004 and Best British Documentary at the British Independent Film Award in 2003.

 Decent Psychological Drama

This film is about a young just married couple ho settle into his home in a remote area of the Phillipines. There is no electricity and no cell phone signal even. The wife, Tess (pretty good job by Diana Zuburi) has to deal with her husband being a traveling salesman. The husband, Rico (Polo Ravales) has to away for three days, leaving her with the elderly caretaker. Through this time, Tess begins to suspect Rico is not faithful. She meets Celia (Francine Prieto) and she comes to live with her, especially since Rico is gone longer than three days since there was a storm. When Rico returns, Tess suspects he and Celia are having an affair and plots revenge. The film isn't bad, it keeps your interest, but it moves slowly to the conclusion. There are a few decent twists, and I recommend it to anyone who likes these kinds of dramas, but I don't think its terribly special. Diana Zuburi has the potential to be a star, maybe even cross over beyond Phillipine cinema. It'll be interesting to see where her career takes her.




Plot

In the remote countryside of Ilocos, various women are sexually abused by local men. Two sisters, Tonya (Maria Isabel Lopez), a sexually repressed young woman, and Selda (Sarsi Emmanuelle), a promiscuous woman, meet Simon (Mark Joseph), the most attractive man in the village. Tonya teaches catechism to the children of the village. Selda comes home from the city with her American lover, whom she throws out shortly afterward. She's the exact opposite of Tonya, as her views on sex are more liberal and less guilt-filled. Tonya is secretly sexually attracted to Simon, but she refuses his sexual advances.

Release

First released in 1985, the film was commercially released on DVD by Mondo Macabro in 2007.[4] The region-one two-DVD set has soundtracks in both Tagalog and English.[5]

Reception

Of the DVD release, Kurt Dahlke of DVD Talk noted that Silip: Daughters of Eve is an exploitation film, but "not your usual empty-headed sleaze show," and he remarked that viewers simply looking for a sexploitation film won't understand Silip. He expands on this by writing, "Other reviewers have complained of the long, boring bits in between each scandalous act, completely missing the point," and he explains that unlike many films of its genre, Silip delivers its message "in small-scale epic fashion, with a lyric beauty that's hard to argue against. Using the desert-like scenery to maximum effect, nearly every shot is beautiful to look at, fostering a meditative, sweaty atmosphere that's truly unique." He goes on to praise the cinematography and the simultaneous themes that play out in the film and summarizes "While the women-are-the-root-of-all-evil message is ultimately distasteful, the truths exposed, and the path we're lead down in getting there, consists of quite a sumptuous, sensuous journey."[6]
