Movies

Here, in this section, I will post any movie that I like with a short explanation of it and the reason why I like it. Although I am writing in english, maybe the film is only available in spanish. Sorry in advance for that. I have been trying to discover during my university years great movies made in Spain, with problems and situations commonly known by spaniards, or, at least, familiar to us. Also, there will be in that list amazing international movies of course. I am not that kind of people with a narrow mind, but I am interested in films that tell you a hard true story with social implications.

What do you probably not find here? Maybe you won´t find in that space a lot of properly action and fighting movies by itself, despite the movie can contain some -of course- fighting scenes. At the end, life is a fight for survival and we are part of that cycle, and thus this is reflected in the films we do.
