Of all the criticisms, reviews and comments I've read about the imminent release next March 25 of " find Dragons" movie Roland Joffé around San José María Escrivá de Balaguer undoubtedly the one that convinced me this is the producer, television writer and philosopher, José María Lozano entitled "Why 'll see" find Dragons. "It is written with knowledge, strength and sincerity after attending one of those passes that are pre- currently ongoing. The reproduce without removing a comma: " I enter a small screening room a few studies at the end of the Alcalá street in Madrid. No more than twenty seats. I find known print journalists, radio and television. See a guy with glasses and beard, dressed and elegant. No two-minute calls attention to present a movie. He explains that he has spent the last three years of his life looking $ 30 million to fund this project. The guy called Ignacio Gómez Sancha speaks of wonder and the little story that left me waiting: it is a prestigious financial adviser (former vice president of the Madrid Stock Exchange) that has left aside his successful career to produce film that has been dreaming for so long.
begins projection. The view is impeccable bill, first. The premise and I feel like I'm interested. A journalist is researching the life of the founder Opus Dei's and appears, through the figure of his father, with the unspoken for many years. Through the journalist's father arrived at the story of two childhood friends who come together at the seminar. One of them continue their journey to the priesthood and the other not. From here, follow the passing of life of the two protagonists of the film: the priest and the national side fighter infiltrates the Republicans during the English civil war.
The priest, Josemaria seeks to love God and others without fanfare or whining. It is an ordinary character, absolutely credible. His words and his action is not tiresome or topical. Finally a Catholic priest portrayed in the movies with natural, historical accuracy and even a little affection . Josemaría is a young guy who lives very aware of God and others and, in the midst of brutal war, only talks about peace and reconciliation .
the other hand, his childhood friend, Manolo , which Josemaría lose track shortly after arriving to Madrid and after leaving the seminar is dedicated to helping his father in the family business. When conflict breaks out, Manolo becomes a spy and infiltrate the national side among Republicans. During the war, with death as a natural background scene, Manolo knows love, but also betrayal and horror.
The plot is Manolo folding Josemaría Josemaria and Manolo. A journey through their consciences and their hearts that it becomes an exciting adventure, sometimes delightful, sometimes bitter, which arise, inevitably, a few reflections about the truths of human events more disturbing: the freedom, the ability to love and forgive.
striking that the director and screenwriter, Roland Joffe (' The Killing Fields' and 'The Mission' ), agnostic, get into this gibberish cutting anthropological unequivocally Christian. Something similar happens with ' Gran Torino' of Clint Eastwood. Two great films, directed by filmmakers who claim not to have faith and yet have the ability to portraits full of beauty on the most beautiful and profound realities of Christianity: love and forgiveness . And they do stories full of drama and truth in which pain and death are not installed permanently in the world are transformed, through the beauty of forgiveness, love, in hope.
ends projecting. Stirred, I come to greet Ignacio, the producer. I congratulate him and congratulate him on the project. Also thank you for inviting me and allowing me to enjoy the screening of a film deep, beautiful and courageous . Return to the cinema to see ".
