A film i enjoyed....

Last summer i saw “The constant gardener”. I saw it in my house, because I had to write an essay about it for a class. That film is a thriller, but not a common one, because it develops the theme of the pharmaceutical industry and its experimentation in humans in the African continent, from the personal perspective of a diplomat of the United Kingdom and his wife. The film has a very special way of narrate the story, because nothing is what initially seems to be. The English diplomat starts to investigate the disappearance of his wife, and in parallel remembers they arrive and life in Africa. The plot has many turns, and, in the end, is about the personal journey of the main character. I really enjoyed watching that film. The photography of the African landscapes and its people is beautiful. The performance of the actors is remarkable; in fact, Rachel Weisz got an Academy Award for best support actress for this film. This movie its a very delicate work in many ways, mostly because the careful treatment of its director, Fernando Meirelles (a Brazilian who previously directed “City of God”). This film is a very good example of reflexive entertainment, because it has action and mystery, but the main ingredients are the questions that raises to the public.
