FICM | Dia #1:
"In my dream I know I will never die."
A pesar de que la sala estaba llena y que empezo atrasada, a menos de diez minutos como 4 personas se salieron de la sala. Fue una rara experiencia, los primeros dos actos-por que literal esta divido en actos, lo cual funciono muy bien con este material, junto con William Dafoe como director- son bastantes solidos siguiendo un tema que aunque pesado encuentra una manera de relacionarse con Celeste y su nueva fama encontrada que nace a raiz de su propia tragedia, pense que al final iba a ser como nuestras emociones realmente nunca son nuestras por que siempre tenemos una audiencia que espera consumirlo. Extrañamente, en cuanto Natalie Portman aparece se descarrila bastante de lo que habia mostrado en un inicio terminando en una cosa bastante diferente, que siento que si hubiera sido mas larga pudo haber sido explorada mejor de no haber querido ser tan "impactante" por solo verse asi.

Despite the fact the theater was full and the movie started late, not even 10 minutes in the movie 4 people walked out. This was a very weird experience, the first two acts - because it is literally divided by acts, which really worked for the material along side William Dafoe as the narrator- are pretty solid, despite the fact of being quite heavy they find a way to actually relate to Celeste and her new found fame that it is born out of her tragedy, I thought it would mean how our emotions are never really ours because we always have an audience that is waiting to consume them. Oddly enough, when Natalie Portman shows up is when the film gets carried away from what was happening in the beginning, ending in something completely different, which I feel had the movie been longer it could've been handled better instead of just going for looking shocking just for the sake of being it.
