By Alfred Eastwood There is a great temptation for film lovers: do lists or personal counts. If this service added the great cliché to say that the list is personal, subjective and that there are many items out, we are at the absolute edge of cliché. So it is best not to speak and present just a list with all these features and also supports many discrepancies on which in my opinion are the best films of the first decade of the century.
10. No Man's Land. Danis Tanovic / Bosnia Herzegovina, 2000.
Using the framework of a conflict which met from within, Tanovic, who was a war correspondent in Bosnia-Herzegovina, criticism with humor and without mercy the role of the UN and the absurd in all military confrontations. Human acidic film.
9. Hero Zhang Yimou / China, 2002 hitherto virtually unknown in the West, Yimou has shown us the splendor of their culture, displaying a beautiful picture to tell an epic story of the Chinese Empire. Impressive and captivating.
8. Behind the Sun Walter Salles, Brazil, in 2002
unfortunately seen by few in our country (He was not in theaters and we believe that only those who went to festicine of Cartagena), this film by Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries itself), marked a high point in exotic Brazilian film telling the story of a duel of honor between families, through exquisite photography. A look at the stranger rural Latin America.
7. Gran Torino Clint Eastwood / USA, 2009
One of the best films of Eastwood, the last great movie classic, is the framework to tell the story from one character to the ancient learned the hard way to live and to respect individual differences. In his farewell as an actor, Eastwood confirms that it is an icon of cinema.
6. Memento Christopher Nolan / USA, 2000
Thanks to the break with classical narrative beginning, middle and end, Nolan amnesia makes us and makes us live life looking backwards more important: Who we really are and why we do what we do?
5. The Lives of Others Florian Henckel / Germany, 2006
Leaving aside the political pamphlet which tend to become this kind of movie, "The Lives of Others" is a journey from intolerance to understanding other points of view through exercise to "take the place of others." A story that confronts us with our personal prejudices.
4. Mystic River Clint Eastwood / USA, 2003
One of the best casts in recent years, led by the best contemporary director gives rise to a brilliant police tape on crime, punishment and redemption, framed by friendship and complicity.
3. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly Julian Schnabel / France, 2007
Based on a best-selling literature and the true story of journalist Dominique Baubin, cinema film is written in first person painfully. A humane and moving drama that reaches the limit of making us feel hopeless in the flesh the feeling of not controlling our body.
2. Oliver Hirschbiegel's The Experiment / Germany, 2001
This film is almost a sociological treatise on how people behave in extreme situations and assuming a role. Based on a real experiment, this film confronts us with the dilemma of those who think we are and what we really are.
1. City of God Fernando Mereilles / Brazil, 2002
An honest look at the favelas of Rio, which are not very different from our neighborhoods, a neighborhood that grows as a witness to a history of blood and a colorful journey through the darkest situations characterized Mereilles that the film boasts an impressive photo, mounted copy and a message even more powerful.
cinema imitates life and so the charm of the movies is that most of us tell us that what really counts.
