Talk to her Movie Review

Talk to Her

Talk to Her is a movie about two totally different individuals whose lives were intertwined with friendship because of a devastating accident. The movie starts with a play in a theatre where Marco and Benigno meet, but as total strangers, Benigno notices that Marco is crying while watching the dance recital, this symbolizes a sense of weakness for Marco. Marco, a journalist who sought to make a story on a famous female matador ends up being in a relationship with Lydia, the lady matador but after an unfortunate event, Lydia winds up being in a comatose, admitted in a hospital where Benigno works as a nurse. Benigno is working as a personal nurse for a comatose patient who apparently has been his crush for quite a time, this opportunity allowed him to see her, Alicia, his longtime crush everyday and tend to her needs as a comatose patient, and this shows how obsessed, in a way, Benigno was towards Alicia. The hospital is where Marco and Benigno met and became close friends knowing that both of them have patients who need them.
The dance recital shown at the start of the movie symbolizes how irrational women can be and how men are there to guide them and care for them even when they are unaware of it. The montage effect was neatly and greatly executed allowing us to understand the film bit by bit without spoiling ourselves on what is going on within the film. There were a few instances such as words surprisingly coming out of the screen such as “a few months later” or the like, that actually ruined the way the movie flowed, these were a really bad idea for effects, they ruined the movie a bit. At first, Marco was stubborn about talking to Lydia given her status as a comatose patient, he thought that there was no sense in talking to her under her current circumstances but this changed when he met Benigno, especially in the part where he realized that Lydia wanted to leave him for another man,

    The Soviet Montage cinema developed their own style of editing in which a series of unrelated images were pieced together to connect the message and story. An example of a well-known Montage film is The Man with the Movie Camera (1929) directed by Dziga Vertov. This film featured a startling amount of different shots of nearly anything that is to be found in the city, accompanied by a rather modern-sounding soundtrack. As it is experimental, there is no clear storyline, and Vertov’s intention seemed to be showing rather than telling. Classical Hollywood editing uses continuity editing, a technique…

    The intense dance between the two leads was so heartbreaking yet beautiful. The piece told the story of a man and a women who cared deeply, supporting each other yet now being good enough. The man and the women had dragging movements, carrying and dropping each other showing that they couldn’t survive. At the end, there was a spotlight on the women as she collapsed to the floor with the man standing over her and others gathering around. The male lead sprinkled rose petals over her body, making the story so powerful.…

    Montage’s origins can be traced back to Lev Kuleshov’s (referred to by David Gillespie, author of Early Soviet Cinema: Innovation, Ideology and Propaganda as “...the father of Soviet cinema...” (2000:23)) experiments with editing. Heavily influenced by American filmmakers such as D. W. Griffith, his view was that previously filmed fragments must be assembled and “...linked...” to each other, comparing this process to how “...a child constructs a word or phrase from separate scattered blocks of letters” (Eisenstein, 1929:163). However, in his essay “The Dramaturgy of Film Form”, Eisenstein condemns Kuleshov’s methods as “...outmoded...”. Eisenstein believed that it was not adding shots to one another that created a successful montage effect, but by “...colliding...” two shots independent to each other. The analogy he adopts to express this method is the structure of Japanese hieroglyphics. He reeled in the notion that two separate graphical representations, for example that of an eye and that of water, could be placed together (ie. collided) and merged to create a whole new meaning, in the case of the eye and the water, our new meaning would be to cry. Two separate,…

    The film, “Strictly Ballroom”, demonstrates the difficulty in expressing one’s individuality because of the rules and regulations enforced by cultures and governing bodies. It begins with opening scene presenting a silhouette of the ballroom world, which is a metaphor used to set the criteria of belonging. The synchronisation of each dance partner shows the forceful conformist nature to belong. The use of high angle shots of Scott and Fran dancing on the roof of the studio portrays their isolation and alienation from the rest of the ‘dance world’, expressing the effort they must undertake to express their individuality. The restrictiveness of this world is highlighted by the antagonist Barry Fife. His dictorial nature is presented in the close up of his mouth in which he quotes, “You can dance any steps you like, but that doesn’t mean you’ll win”. This image, elaborates his influential power of his position as he proposes that no new dance styles can be performed. This creates a barrier to belong along-side…

    The movie Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind had a great detail of editing by the film editor. As a viewer the editing was important, and how they captured the scenes as the movie’s story was at a fast pace throughout the movie. The film’s editor also provided great cuts to let us, as the viewers follow the whole situation of the history of all the characters in the movie, from the past to present. When I see such complicated movies like that I always think how complicated, and how the film editor probably had such a head ache with so many shots taken from the director and having to cut and splice the whole story together.…

    Women’s individuality became to be widely expressed with dancing. Peiss states, “From an anthropological perspective, dance is a form of structured, expressive movement that articulates and conveys cultural information to its participants, helping them to make sense of their world” (89). Peiss is showing that women could express their feelings, sexuality, and individuality with their dance moves. Peiss said, “More than other dances, the tough dance allowed young women to use their bodies to express sexual desire and individual pleasure in movement that would have been unacceptable in any other public arena” (102). Peiss talks about how these different dances, “pivoting”, “spieling”, and “tough dancing” allowed for women to express themselves in a sexual way. These dances allowed for twirling, spinning, and close body contact, which showed their sexuality.…
