I thought the movie Biutiful was a very interesting movie. This movie had a lot of meaning behind it and it made you think about many aspects about life in general. The ending also left you thinking about what happens next.
ReplyDeleteThis movie also had many situations to help broaden your view about immigration. To see how the Chinese people were treated as immigrants helped me think about how immigrants are treated in foreign countries. This is a very sad problem that probably happens in many countries without people knowing.
Overall I enjoyed watching the movie. It was nice to have a movie to make you think about things and not solely for entertainment.

ReplyDeleteIn this movie, a man attempts to resolve his longing to be good with his unruly ways in this sinister drama from Mexican auteur Alejandro González Iñárritu. Uxbal (Javier Bardem) is a man with a light side and a dim side. Uxbal is a compassionate father who is tough but loving toward his two children, Ana (Hanaa Bouchaib) and Mateo (Guillermo Estrella), and he strives to preserve a strong relationship with their mother, Marambra (Maricel Álvarez), in spite of her problems with alcohol and volatility. But Uxbal is also a criminal who runs a small secretive empire along with fellow crime boss Hai (Taisheng Cheng) and Uxbal's reckless brother, Tito (Eduard Fernández). Uxbal's transactions range from drugs to construction, but different from his partners in crime, he attempts to take care of those around him with pride even as he trades in human wretchedness. Uxbal's unsteady world begins to give way when he's diagnosed with a grim illness and told he has only a few weeks left to live; he makes an effort to put his relationships in order in the time he has left, but recognizes that few around him have any sense of accountability.

Uxbal is a man with two sides: father and criminal. When he is diagnosed with cancer his whole world beings to crumble to pieces around him. His attempts at getting his life together are eventually paid off when a woman, who he helped save from starvation and homelessness, agrees to care for the children after his death. Uxbal’s criminal activities included construction and drugs but even though he trades in human misery he still tries to treat them all with dignity and not like dogs. I think that the issues that Uxbal has with Maramaba are simply because of her mental disorder that has he flipping back and forth between sanity and insanity. I feel like this movie helps to show that even if everything looks prefect and happy on the surface it is rarely the truth. The Chinese works that they have locked in the basement are a prime example. The work through Uxbal and Tito but they get paid very little and have horrible living conditions that in the end kill them because the heaters that Uxbal buys to keep them warm are gas and the people die from carbon dioxide poisoning.
