Plots:
1A plane crashes and only five people survive. Claire, a brilliant psychologist, should help the survivors overcome the trauma. But, inexplicably, these either disappear or begin to miss therapy sessions. On the other hand, it is not even known what caused the accident. Among the survivors is Eric, an attractive man who doesn't seem to need therapy.
2 Elizabeth is a young woman who begins a spiritual journey through America in an attempt to rebuild her life after a breakup. Along the way, framed between the magical urban landscape of New York and the spectacular views of the legendary Route 66, the young woman will find a series of enigmatic characters that will help her on her trip.
My review:
Passengers is the story of Claire, a psychologist who helps the survivors to overcome the accident trauma, but there is a problem, they dissapear with no trace and the most mysterious person is Eric, a good looking man who happily lives his own life and does not need support, so this is the most suspicious thing. What really happened to the plane crash? Is Arkin hiding something about the accident?
From my point of view this film has a surprising ending, to which I did not expect. It has an unexpected ''Black Mirror/Inside No.9'' ending of why some of the characters are behaving in a strange way, but it does not especify you why they are gone. The plot does not make any sense for a reason: the writer just wants you to feel sensations, emotions and empathy for the characters until you know the truth (which I would not explain since it is an spoiler alert). This film has low ratings in IMDB and Filmaffinity because critics did not understand the writer's intentions since Christensen wanted to remark is the psychology of every character and how do they feel in each situation.
To sum up, the film was poignant and quite overwhelming to me but it has no coherence in the plot.
My Blueberry Nights is the story of Elizabeth, a young woman who started a voyage of self-discovery after her break-up with her boyfriend. While travelling, she meets Arnie, a policeman, Sue Lynne, Arnie's boyfriend and Leslie, a poker player.
This film knew how to interconnect the character's lives, but I think it was quite a slow film since Wong tried to create an intimate romantic story. It is a story full of symbolism and metaphors, for instance, the blueberry pie imitates Elizabeth's character love for Jeremy, the owner of a small café, and the Jaguar may symbolize the desire for freedom.
To sum up, this film was interesting to see but the problem is that it is too much slow-paced. For this reason I got bored while seeing it. And that is quite disappointing, since romance is my favourite genre.
Movie 1 Film mark: 5,6 out of 10
Movie 2 Film mark: 5,4 out of 10
Well, this result is an unexpected surprise since the first movie has a lack of plot and the second one has a lack of rhythm but...
PASSENGERS IS THE WINNER OF THIS ROUND!
