Little Ashes [Region 2]

Hey everyone,Well for those who are buying this movie for their Gooey eyed Son or Daughter Because of the Heart Throb Knowen as Robert Pattinson Please read this review. I bought this movie for my 12 year old sister who is madly in love with the Twilight star, Not knowing this movie has content in it that is not in my opinion good for anyone under the age of 16. The movie it self has a great story line and plot, Very much an art film but for those who know the story behind the movie the subject matter is about a Famous painter "Dali" Played by Pattinson, but what they don't tell you on the package is that the story is about his dealing with being Gay, I myself being gay found the film a great art piece but the Nude scene, The sex scene with pattinson Masterbating in the corner while his friend makes love to a women a little bit inappropriate for a child to watch even with an Adult in the room. after seeing this movie with my sister i took the movie back and now keep it in my collection. If you are a parent who does not care about the content then this is a great movie, but if you do care please if you buy make sure you're child or children know about the subject matter. After seeing this movie my Sister will never look at Robert Pattinson the same way again and has told me and her friends she will not even see the Third movie in the Twilight Saga, It made her that upset. For the Gay men and women out there this is a great film and someone with the eye for art will really love this film.

Purchasing went smoothly, disc and case were in great condition, arrived quickly, and I am very happy with the purchase.I have no idea how true this story is, so I will pretend that it is fiction, based on real people. In the most believable role I've ever seen him in, Robert Pattinson portrays Salvador Dalí, brilliant painter and filmmaker; I'd never heard of this actor prior, but Javier Beltrán plays writer Frederico García Lorca and is absolutely brilliant. The story starts where they are in art school together and have a form of love affair, without an sexuality. You feel their tension and attraction, but it is so frowned upon that Dalí can't bring himself to embrace it. Fast-forward to adulthood, Dalí is married to a woman and García Lorca is in a relationship with another man. Their tension persists to their later years and, through twists and turns, they can't seem to find each other, even though there is obvious love and a connection between them. Pattinson, whom I find to be one of the worst actors of our day, was fantastic and Beltrán was superb. It's definitely a movie for the art fan, the love fan, and the fan of the unrequited experience. Fantastic film and underrated like crazy!

This movie is very beautiful to look at. The cinematography was really something special. The locations were beautiful. It's set in Spain and was filmed on location in many beautiful parts of the country. It's the story of three kind of liberal, sort of revolutionary college men. I think it would be easier to understand if you are familiar with the Spanish revolution that took place in the 1930's. This picks up in about 1921 when Salvador Dali joins the college clicque, and develops feelings for the already published poet Garcia Lorca. Beltran plays his role to perfection. He is layered and not at all flamboyant or feminine as many gay characters are portrayed. Robert Pattinson as Dali, really shows the development of Dali from a strange kid and brilliant cubist painter to a super strange, somewhat weird, world famous painter. The relationship is played very subtly and sweetly. The odd man out becomes Louis, I apologize, I don't know the actor's name. He's very good in showing his inner conflict with Garcia Lorca and Dali and his own sexuality. He begins to develop jealousy over the close friendship that has formed between Garcia Lorca and Dali, and feels GL is not willing to commit to their shared politics. All the while there is the undercurrent of revolution and communism. There really is no happy ending for all of these characters in 1930's Spain, but it's quite interesting to see how the characters develop and grow as the years progress. If you are a fan of any of the lead actors, I think you will love the film. If you are a fan of history, I believe you will love it as well. Anyone who just loves film would appreciate this one.

I admit I ordered this DVD partially out of curiosity (can Robert Pattinson really act? yes, actually) and also because I was familiar with Lorca and Dali, but little more than that. Overall, I'm torn over it. The cinematography is exceptional, creating a very beautiful film. The setting, the time period, the costuming - all well done. The dialog is somewhat sparse - there are long instances where there is little or no talking - but woven throughout are excerpts from Lorca's poetry that really add to the mood and tone. The acting is superb, especially the leads, Robert Pattinson and Javier Beltran. I was surprised at how they disappeared into their roles, even more so for Pattinson. I feel he had the more challenging role in bringing the eccentric, brilliant and somewhat unhinged Dali to life.The story is alternately angst-ridden, languid and intense. However, the movie is incredibly slow. Almost tortuously slow at times. I think the filmmakers intended to show the gradual growth of feeling between the two men, but sometime I felt like I was looking at a lovely painting instead of a living story. There are some very intense scenes, in particular when Dali and Lorca attempt to have sex without really taking the reality of it into account. This scene was gut-wrenching and emotional, but there were too few scenes of such intensity. Overall, fans of historical and/or biographical films who have a lot of patience may find this rewarding. I thought it was a good film, but not one I would watch again.

I’ve been a Garcia Lorca fan since about 1968. I was introduced to his poetry by my grandfather who was extremely incensed over his assassination in the Spanish Civil War. It’s a great reminder that real freedom comes at a very high cost.The film is beautifully shot and sensitively deals with the relationship between Lorca and Salvador Dali.

Der Film zeigt die Dekadenz, die Auferstehung und den Fall der Intellektuellen Studenten in Madrid. Wunderschöne Bilder und die Gedichte Garcia's machen den Streifen nicht nur in homoerotischer Hinsicht zu einem Juwel, das seines gleichen suchen wird. Ob nun Patterson Dali spielt oder nicht, ist mir dabei egal, da ich mit Twilight und solchen Filmen nicht sehr viel anfangen kann. Javier Beltran in der Rolle von Garcia hat mir sehr imponiert. Auch Bunuel, der zwar homophob auftritt für mich aber ganz klar in Garcia verliebt und eifersüchtig ist und dieser Neigung entschieden entgegentreten will, wurde überzeugend gespielt. Deshalb wollte er der Beziehung zwischen Garcia und Dali schaden.Alle Schauspieler bieten Grossartiges ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Fazsinierend sind die Dialoge und der Aufbruch, die Auflehnung gegen das Bürgertum und Militär. Dali wollte aber etwas ganz anderes: Er wollte Macht und Ruhm und Geld verdienen solange er lebte. Dies wusste er bereits als Student. So ist er wohl der erste Popstar der Moderne, lange vor Andy Warhol. Das Zerbrechen und Auseinanderreisen von Bestehendem wird immer wieder aufgebracht. Pattinson spielt dies sehr eindrücklich.Eine Film der Poesie und Malleidenschaft durch die wilden 20iger und 30iger.

英語が苦手の私でも、耳の不自由な人用の字幕があるので十分楽しむことができました。Edward Cullenのロブだけが好きだという人には、イメージが違いすぎるのでお勧めしませんが、ダリとロルカという二人の天才芸術家の若き日の交流がとても美しく描かれています。これを観て以来、この二人にブニュエルを加えた３人の生涯にすっかりはまってしまい、彼らについての本や作品を片っ端から読んだり見たりしています。ロブの作品はトワイライトシリーズ以外、日本ではなかなか公開されませんが、Amazonさんが扱ってくれれば今回のような形で楽しめることがわかりました。Remember MeもAmazon,UKで購入し、やはり字幕の助けを借りて楽しみました。

Lo dicho, solo esta en ingles y aleman, no está en castellano y tampoco los subtitulos. Es una lástima que una pelicula con actores españoles no esté en castellano.

Vorab gesagt, der Versand verlief schnell und zufriedenstellend.Desweiteren war ich über das Wendecover sehr erfreut!Über den Film ist zu sagen, dass er alles in allem schön anzusehen ist. Für einen gemütlichen Abend gut geeignet aber nichts berauschendes. Der Anfang ist wirklich schön und die Aufnahmen in den schönen Landschaften Spaniens sind ebenfalls ein Augenschmaus. Im weiteren Verlauf der Geschichte hätte ich mir gewünscht, dass das Augenmerk eher auf den Charakterbruch von Salvador fokusiert wäre, anstatt viel eher auf García Lorcas weiteren Verlauf, obwohl dieser Strang der Entwicklung trotzallem interessant zu verfolgen ist.Das Ende ist meiner Emfpindung nach ziemlich traurig und stimmt einen selbst auch eher traurig.Alles in Allem also ein schöner Film, aber Ausleihen reicht auch.
