Yesterday I saw this film by Isabel Coixet, co-starring Tim Robbins and Sarah Polley.
The story, set in an oil rig for the most part, tells the stories of each one of those who are in it: lonely, by choice or by force, which are seen floating in the ocean, surrounded by vastness and solitude, pondering their own miseries.
The heroine, Hanna, is quiet and reserved. For much of the footage from their eyes and ears see and hear the personal stories of workers from the rig, quiet and lonely people, who prefer to live and be left alone with its internal troubles.
Josef, who injured citizens Hanna an "accident" on the platform, temporarily blinded, he starts to bare his soul to it. Little by little secret all his life, his innermost thoughts and secrets, conversacioens emerge in keeping with his nurse.
Mas si bien todos van revelando poco a poco su yo interno, Hanna no cuenta nada, hasta bien avanzada la trama, donde sincerándose de uan forma terrible, muestra todo su pasado: el horror de la narración de Hanna hace que toda la sala enmudezca y contenga el aliento, aunque brota más de una lágrima.
Josef es evacuado, y Hanna vuelve a su vida anterior, basada en la monotonía de un trabajo mecánico. Pero algo ha cambiado en ella. Josef, por su parte, la busca, y auque aquí la cinta comete en opinión mía y de la persona que me acompañó a ver la película un exceso de reivindicación un tanto... absurdo (aunque con una moraleja final bastante plausible), y finalmente la encuentra. Hanna entonces decide to surrender to their feelings and attempt to live.
The film is interesting to the point of inflection that occurs with Hanna's confession, then it becomes excruciating. Sample, without a single image, the horror of civil war, although he had a tremendous impact in the nineties, is now forgotten. Shows how the human being dies without actually physically stop living as man is capable of committing heinous inhuman acts justified by God knows what power granted by a uniform. It shows how, despite unspeakable suffering, the body may be stronger than the desire to die. And it shows how, despite suffering unimaginable to points, humans are able to continue breathing every day with the weight of the past lapidary and disinterest by the present, future, or life.
