Prisoners in Los Angeles (for English speaking people)


Downtown Los Angeles would like to be rescued or recovered. Great half empty buildings, large store places, lack of street life. They have much work to do. There is a bakery, called Bread Lounge, with French bread and croissants which it is as they say croissant in English-American. The truth is  they were good, but you have to pay them.
The area seems to output any sequence of terminals suburbs. Prices decline and grant plenty of space for people feeling attracted. Painters, artists are going to places like that, the gym of Ray Donovan is located nearby. Today is Sunday and it is a day for brunch, scrambled eggs, toast two types of breads, butter, croissants, fruit and tea. All very healthy, yet very California. You start eating around 11.00 am, because you have not had regular breakfast. Enjoying another cup of tea and talking, I have not bought Los Angeles Times with its hundreds of pages weekend version, I am exaggerating a bit.
Then, it comes a movie, this is Hollywood. The recommendations are acceptable from people who know this industry.
The film is " Prisoners ", probably one of the films that will get nominations. The script certainly deserves it. The principal roles and almost all players scratched a good level. The photography and even the music is appropriated. It is on of those films with entertaining salt, some people frightened, others half screaming. In cinemas Archligh it will cost $ 14.50 per capita, which is not bad. You get a validation for parking and in a normal session you must add $ 3.00; trying to park close is hard and it comes off worse. The pity is that the cinema was almost empty, a Sunday at 1.40 pm. 
Next to me, a couple was taking a hotdog each, I suppose a kind of snack, food or whatever.
The best thing is the film rhythm. I think American dominate this aspect, although the director is Canadian, Dennis Villeneuve. He has the name of a defeated French admiral in Trafalgar or a famous Formula One racer, truly he knows how to tell stories. After all that's what movies are all about, telling stories and there is no good film without story.
In the difficulty finding a good story lies precisely the secret.
