CineTV Contest: My favorite movies of 2021

Several movies are for me the best of the year, I have yet to see a few due to my work schedule.

Hello, this is my first post in this community I am passionate about cinema.

The Power of the Dog 2021

I start with a film that my wife recommended, it’s not my favorite genre, but I gave it a try, it’s The Power of the Dog, set in 1920.

For me it was a pleasant surprise, if something I liked was his end and the performance of Benedict Cumberbatch as Phil.

Phil and George - Jesse Plemons - live in the Ranch of their parents, George decides to marry, form a home with the widow Rose - Kirsten Dunst takes his wife to the Ranch.

Phil will make his life impossible, since that is his goal, that others live in their own flesh, their suffering and bitterness.

Phil is a Yale graduate, cynical, and behaves like a normal cowboy, always trying to hide his true personality, by the social conventions of the time.

On the other hand, there is the son of Rose Peter Kodi Smit-McPhee- studies Medicine and wants to be a surgeon belongs to the non-binary genre, draw a plan to approach philis and protect his mother.

The film is directed by Jane Campion who won an Academy Award for Best Director for this film, the photography very well achieved, there is precision in the details, as the music and the costumes.

Cumberlands performance is excellent, all the characters revolve around his emotional repression.

Some people think the film is boring, but you need to develop the characters to understand its surprising ending.

Every detail matters, I recommend it.

The Mauritanian (2021)

Slahi - Tahar Rahim - is arrested and taken to Guantanamo prison for his relationship with Al-Qaeda, accused of recruiting people for terrorism.

In prison, he will be subjected to inhuman treatment to make him confess, lawyer Hollander - Jodie Foster - will defend his case and Stuart Couch -Benedict Cumberbatch - will be the prosecutor in charge of charging him,

This film portrays the violation of human rights in Guantanamo prison and the mistakes made by the US legal system.

It is a story based on the memoirs of Mohamedou Slahi’s Guantanamo Diary (2015),

The message, justice takes time, but it always comes.

Director Kevin Macdonald

Palmer - 2021

This film tells the story of Sam, a boy of non-binary genre, happy, spontaneous, with a drug-addicted mother who leaves him in charge of Palmer’s grandmother.

Palmer does his time and returns to his hometown, meets Sam, begin to establish a father-son relationship that will help them build their future.

What I like most is the kid’s performance and the scene where he tells Sam the world won’t understand you, it’ll hurt you. Sam wants to wear his princess costume at school.

Other scenes are those of Juno, Sam’s mother, who comes out little on screen, but has an excellent presence where you stay waiting for more of his performance.

The message, Respect and tolerance towards people, do not judge.

It’s a movie I recommend.
