As on previous occasions I have expressed , my vague knowledge in film did not make large contributions or criticism, but it still does not prevent me from commenting about this art. There will always mean to praise the production - although in fact it deserves when it really worth it, other times to give a negative assessment gives rise to justify why and that is why I come today not to throw flowers, but quite the opposite to criticize. opportunity in a close, I went to see "Passion of Gabriel " movie Colombian media reported promising enough. It tells the story of a priest who has tangled alebrestado a girl of the village where it is assigned as pastor. So far, so very interesting because such situations put red-hot controversy and give that talk. However, I think I should have waited until a Sunday or public holiday in the present a national television channel because in my opinion, not worth enough to pay a movie ticket.
The plot itself is trite but no less interesting, already known to a story whose central axis is a philandering priest should raise comments, criticisms and in this case, lust. The daddy that, just over thirty, is furtive lovemaking with a very pretty young lady, indeed, the people and becomes a hot relationship where sex is rampant, as the irrepressible desire to vent years of repression because of his priestly vows, come to be certain when he meets her, which makes them sinners converted masked noble social figures.
Hence, nothing more interesting, a leading ideological encontrón both the bureaucrats of the small population and with the daunting guerrillas who roam the area, since it is one of those anxious parents who work beyond what fees church will allow, that makes your life hangs by a thread at any moment and a reason to become a bitter enemy of both sides to the point, it begins to be questioned his vocation as a priest for many of the settlers.
Gabriel, wears a dress unusual for a pope, it seems more like a crazy hippie who came to a village to hunt girls, seduce and sleep with them, so I'm not convinced at all that side strolled around rare shorts and pastel blue shirts or otherwise without them. The mayor however, wearing long pants and a white neck, resembling more the image of pastor to the same player (for his clothing, not their physical, as in this if they put a man who is pure pint of Rogue) . I may be too pragmatic and has had such an impression, but in this case is a matter of conviction film.
I'm surprised and glad that little or no sight of drugs and drug trafficking, elements of Colombian cinema clichés, but still is intrinsic to the track of the already known groups outside the law, its frequent presence in small populations national geography and the role they play is always hostile to these places: Threats, stalking and killing anyone who contradicts them, something not very far from reality which of course could not miss the plot, which makes that despite apparently be a different story, different shades in the background is giving the same to them.
do not know if these topics are so common and predictable, which made " Gabriel's passion "I have not liked at all, do not know if the central plot lost its way because you think you will find a perverse history of the religious affairs and is running into a socio-political issue of our reality and that's what we've seen a lot, I do not know if it's because the main character, was perhaps a character that did little or nothing except to sleep with the cleric. The fact is that, in my humble opinion, they wanted to do something different, make new roads and repeatedly fell into the usual clichés with a weak argument.
It is good to produce films with more frequency so that the quality of these is increasingly better and that's why the national film starts taking an important regional and some international attention, it is also a plus that managers show new directions in its themes of absurd to spend so monotonous always on them to innovate out of the traditional violence and that thereafter the plots have little or nothing to do with our bloody conflicts. The only bad thing is that this desire to develop, leaving aside the most important seduce the viewer. I think that's still missing some work in "Gabriel's passion " Although, indeed, completely ignorant of the true course of Colombian cinema, hence for my opinion lacks weight and does not become more than that, an opinion. Judge
you when you see it ...
