Tafiofobia: Fear of being buried alive. Do not worry, I intend to sell you a car. In July 1844, Edgar Allan Poe publishes The Premature Burial. In this short story, the narrator suffers from catalepsy and as a result of this, the man suffers from a horrible fear of being buried alive just let it live. Buried In Rodrigo Cortes their worst nightmares become reality.
tried to scream, and my lips and my parched tongue moved seizure, but no voice issued from the cavernous lungs as weight of a mountain, gasped and throbbed with the heart in each consuming and difficult breathing. same may be thinking Paul Conrroy (Ryan Reynolds) in the wonderful Buried boot. We hear panting, struggling, breathing fast and choppy, but the LCD just does not see anything. Time passes and we continue to hear the same breath. The people in the room is starting to worry, "What happens here? Why not turn on?" That's the thought that seems to own most from the audience. The latter are eternal, stifled breathing reverberates throughout the room but the display remains black. I think: "I too am starting to get nervous." I do not think that Cortes intended to emulate the Portuguese Joao Cesar Monteiro and his mythical Branca de Neve (2000) . Finally something light, like a cigarette lighter. Yes, yes, certainly. There is a man, yes, a man trapped in a coffin. Temporary relief in the room.
With the impressive start of Buried, Cortés shows his credentials: courage, freedom and lack of complexes.
By now we've all read or heard of Rodrigo Cortés presents himself as the descendant of Alfred Hitchcock again (with apologies to Brian de Palma): both have been able to build impressive works in tight spaces, "the British showed the fierce struggle for survival that kept the crew of a tiny boat ( Castaway , 1944) - while English has the same battle a coffin where only one man. The challenge seems more complicated priori.
How to make a movie with just one character and scenery? and perhaps more important for some, how can you not boring and tedious? How to maintain the tension and excitement with these restrictions? Cortez gives a brief survival kit Paul Conroy's character (Ryan Reynolds), a U.S. contractor whose convoy was attacked by Iraqi insurgents, Cortes used brilliantly, making the voltage keep the red hot for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Throughout the film reminds us poor Paul Conroy to Roger O Thornill but buried under the ground, how many calamities and Conroy will have to endure insults? How many difficulties and trials will have to face if you want to get out alive from his coffin? The Galician director leaves us something clear and pointed Buried and the narrator of Poe's tale: being buried alive, is beyond question, the most terrible of the extremes that has ever fallen to the fate of any deadly [1].
In his short 15 days (2000), the rogue character Castor Vicente Zamacois carried to the limit the use of trial products, exposing the paradoxes of consumer society. Moreover, in his first the verbose and acid Contestant (2007), Cortes carried the blame on the international banking system, in which Martin Circus (Leonardo Sbaraglia.) Gave us an advanced class economy. Buried In Rodrigo Cortes seems to put his satirical and biting look towards an ineffective bureaucracy, preventive wars and globalization. Buried
go down in history, surely, by the enormous technical challenge and involved narrative, as Russian Ark (Alexander Sokurov, 2001) as the first film was shot entirely in one plane, but the great achievement of director Gallego the viewer entirely forget the space constraints and acting. The accurate camera movements, angles impossible, the rhythmic montage, some good tips on script and a superb interpretation of Reynold are some of the many successes that film has.
caught Now you know the press and read: claustrophobic stressful, exhausting, bla bla bla bla .....
