Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de “Cinefilia y Otras Hierbas”. Soy su anfitrión, José Enrique Guzmán, y hoy el estudio se llena de una cadencia muy especial. Hoyno necesitamos explosiones, ni persecuciones de autos, ni coreografías de artes marciales para dejarlos al borde del asiento.Hoy el espectáculo está en la palabra.Continuamos con nuestro Ciclo de Aaron Sorkin, el guionista que convirtió el diálogo en cine de acción puro. Sorkin es un cirujano del verbo; sus personajes no hablan para comunicarse, hablan para competir, para desafiar, para devorarse entre sí. La calidad de su diálogo tiene una musicalidad y una precisión milimétrica donde una coma mal puesta puede arruinar una escena completa. Sus palabrascortan, emocionan y tienen el mismo ritmo frenético que una persecución a trescientos kilómetros por hora en una autopista.Y la prueba reina de esto es la película que nos convoca hoy: “Steve Jobs” (2015). Una genialidad interpretada de manera magistral por Michael Fassbender, dirigida por la energía cinética de Danny Boyle y acompañada por una descomunal Kate Winslet.La historia de cómo se gestó esta producción es casi tan dramática como la película misma.Tras el éxito de La Red Social, Sony quería repetir la fórmula. Scott Rudin, el productor, le llevó el proyecto a Sorkin basándose en la monumental biografía de Walter Isaacson. Originalmente, David Fincher iba a dirigirla y Christian Bale iba a ser Jobs, pero tras exigencias de presupuesto y un cambiode estudio que llevó el proyecto a Universal, Fincher quedó fuera y entró Danny Boyle. Bale renunció porque, según se cuenta, sintió que el volumen y la velocidad del diálogo de Sorkin eran una montaña humana imposible de escalar.Fue ahí donde apareció Fassbender para darnos la interpretación de su vida.Pero el verdadero milagro de esta obra radica en la estructura de su guion. Esta película merecía y merece muchísimo más reconocimiento del que tuvo en su momento, a pesar de las nominaciones al Oscar para Fassbender y Winslet. Sorkindesafió todas las leyes de la biopic tradicional. Esta no es unapelícula al uso de "nació, creció, inventó una computadora y murió" No. Sorkin estructuró el guion como una obra de teatro en tres actos perfectos, donde toda la acción ocurre tras bambalinas, exactamente 40 minutos antes de tres de los lanzamientos más importantes de la carrera de Jobs.Seamos claros desde ahora mismo: esto no es un documental. Si vienes buscando rigor histórico absoluto o una cronología exacta de los hechos, estás en el lugar equivocado. Al igual que pasó con La Red Social, Sorkin se toma licencias dramáticas gigantescas. En la vida real, Steve Jobs nunca tuvo esas confrontaciones operísticas con su mano derecha Joanna Hoffman, con Steve Wozniak, con John Sculley y con su hija Lisa, todas juntas en un pasillo, minutos antes de salir a cambiar el mundo. Eso no pasó así.Pero esa es la magia de la dramatización. Es un recurso creativo brillante para hacer un estudio de personaje profundo, descarnado y fascinante. Sorkin utiliza esos 40minutos de tensión previa a los eventos para desnudar el mito, para confrontar al genio con la gente que lo rodeaba y para explorar el costo humano de la genialidad. Es un lienzo dramático magnífico, una tragedia shakesperianamoderna en la era de Silicon Valley.Hoy, en Cinefilia y Otras Hierbas, vamos a analizar a profundidad los tres actos de este guion, la puesta en escena de Boyle y cómo el diálogo puede ser el efectoespecial más poderoso del cine.Empezamos.Patreon: patreon.com/cinefiliayotrashierbas⁠Correo: cinefiliayotrashierbas@gmail.comNo olviden suscribirse, compartir este episodio y dejar un comentario y un like, eso nos ayudará a crecer y a encontrar más audiencia.¡Que lo disfruten!#AaronSorkin⁠ ⁠#MichaelFassbender⁠ ⁠#Cine⁠ ⁠#KateWinslet #DannyBoyle

Chris Paul and Burning Bright dig into the 2016 Justin Kurzel film Assassin's Creed, based on the long-running Ubisoft video game series and starring Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, Brendan Gleeson, and Charlotte Rampling. Both guys agree the movie underdelivers on its concept but is way better than the brutal reviews it received at the time, and the conceptual material gives them plenty to chew on. The conversation winds through how open world game engines build only what the player can see (a great metaphor for our own constructed reality), the eerie 2013 trailer for Ubisoft's The Division that predicted COVID with unsettling accuracy, and how Xbox lobbies and 4chan were quietly red-pilling young men years before MAGA existed. From there they dig into the philosophical heart of the film: the Templars chasing the Apple of Eden to eliminate free will, the assassins as imperfect guardians of human sovereignty, and whether a secret society fighting for the people can ever really be on the people's side. They close with the surveillance state as a counterfeit god, JFK's warning about secrecy, and why morality has to be inherent rather than coded by law.

On this week's excellent Talkhouse Podcast episode, we've got one of my favorite film directors in conversation with the vocalist of one of the last two decades most engaging bands—who also happened to appear in her latest movie. It's Andrea Arnold and Jason Williamson. Andrea Arnold is a visionary British filmmaker who doesn't make movies very frequently, but she sure makes them count. Her first to really make a splash was 2009's Fish Tank, a coming-of-age story—that's a recurring theme—that was the first place I remember seeing Michael Fassbender. She's since directed three more features: an adaptation of Wuthering Heights (though not the gaudy new one), the visceral American Honey, and last year's magical Bird, which stars Barry Keoghan as the deadbeat working-class dad to newcomer Nykia Adams. It's flown under the radar for sure, but please seek it out and let me know what you think. I loved it, and it's got one of the greatest soundtracks you'll hear all year, with Fontaines DC, Blur, and Sleaford Mods, which leads me to the other half of today's conversation, Jason Williamson. Williamson is the lyricist and vocalist—he doesn't exactly sing—for Sleaford Mods, which has created an unforgettable, fully individual kind of post-punk for the past two decades, characterized by Williamson's witty, confrontational words. Like Arnold, Williamson has roots in the working class, and his music offers an unvarnished reflection of those roots. When she got in touch with him about playing a small but important role in Bird, he admitted that he wasn't familiar with her movies—but quickly became a fan. So he was in her movie, and she in return directed a video for the song “No Touch” from the latest Sleaford Mods album, The Demise of Planet X, which came out earlier this year. Check out that song right here. In this open and generous chat, Arnold and Williamson talk about their shared backgrounds, about shooting Williamson's pivotal scene in Bird, and about Arnold's career as a dancer and TV presenter for various BBC shows. I'm a fan of her work and I had no idea about this entirely different part of her career. Jason also reveals his unique post-show ritual, and laments—sort of—the fact that you can't just simply get drunk anymore and hit people. Enjoy.

A deep dive conversation based on the moviescramble.co.uk review written by Mary Munoz. A man solitary and cold, methodical and unencumbered by scruples or regrets, the killer waits in the shadows, watching for his next target. And yet the longer he waits, the more he thinks he's losing his mind, if not his cool. A brutal, bloody, and stylish noir story of a professional assassin lost in a world without a moral compass, this is a case study of a man alone, armed to the teeth and slowly losing his mind. The Killer is a 2023 American action thriller film[3] directed by David Fincher from a screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker. It is based on the French graphic-novel series The Killer, written by Alexis "Matz" Nolent and illustrated by Luc Jacamon. The film stars Michael Fassbender in the main role alongside Arliss Howard, Charles Parnell, Kerry O'Malley, Sala Baker, Sophie Charlotte, and Tilda Swinton in supporting roles. In the film, Fassbender plays an assassin who embarks on an international vendetta after a hit goes wrong. Development on the graphic novel adaptation began in November 2007, when Fincher was reported to direct the film with Alessandro Camon writing the script, and Paramount Pictures and Plan B Entertainment, respectively, were hired to distribute and produce the film. By February 2021, Fincher moved the project over to Netflix with Walker replacing Camon as writer and Fassbender circling the lead role. Swinton joined the cast that October, with filming beginning the following month, and wrapped March 2022. Filming locations included Paris, the Dominican Republic, and several places in the United States.

In an interview with Elle, promoting her upcoming appearance in Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, Goth shared only that she is still attached to the film and commented that “It's for the best that it's taken the time it has.

Driver explained that Lucasfilm was interested in continuing his character's story in a film that had a script written by Steven Soderbergh.

“I'm here, just taking a stroll, stretching my legs. These, uh, 300 men are my personal bodyguard.” We watched “300,” directed by Zack Snyder, and we need to hit the gym. A lot has been said of Snyder's hyperfixation on the male form, and we're here to add to that conversation. While this movie may be 117 minutes of fit men strutting around in leather briefs, it's also a pretty fun adaptation of the 1998 graphic novel by Frank Miller— author of Sin City.  Gerard Butler and Lena Headey play a fierce power couple, King and Queen of Sparta, Leonidas and Gorgo. Gerry is giving us manic Brian Blessed in “Flash Gordon” realness, and Lena is serving proto-Cersei Lannister, and she's really holding her own as one of the only female speaking roles in the male-dominated movie. We also get some body beautiful from David Wenham, Michael Fassbender, and Rodrigo Santoro as the diva herself— Xerxes, the mad god-king of Persia with permanent makeup and one too many body piercings.

World War II was over. (Really. Truly.) But a group of Japanese soldiers stationed on Lubang Island in the Philippines weren't convinced. They didn't believe that Japan had surrendered.

As a second lieutenant in the Japanese Army, Hiroo Onoda took his job seriously. He'd been ordered to lead guerilla warfare missions on Lubang Island in the Philippines. He was told to never surrender. And when he received word that World War II had ended, Hiroo was certain that the message was a trick. So, he kept fighting. He kept fighting until 1974 – nearly 29 years after the war ended. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

If there's one this 2012's Prometheus needed, it's some explanations for what the hell just happened. And if there's one other thing it needed was to be exactly like the movies Alien and Aliens. The solution to both ended up being the 2017 sequel/prequel Alien: Covenant. Doing away with the previous lead character Elizabeth Shawit follows a new crew of expendable and stupid human beings who run afoul of Michael Fassbender's David along with the Xenomorph.
