Review:  First, it is important to say that the Son of God. Adapted from a television miniseries in tone and character is nothing like Mel Gibson's Passion of Christ. Son of God does not have resolutely powerful and charismatic passion of the last days and the resurrection of the Christ representation.
As the story according to the Scriptures, the child Jesus was born to Mary and Joseph. Point (also known as the Magi) following the star of Bethlehem and visit the baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph. They realize that he is the son of God.
In his young adult years, Jesus Christ (Morgado) goes about his task of spreading the word with the apostles, gaining followers and spread the word of God.

Caiaphas (Schiller), the head of the Pharisees Jesus did not trust. A sequence of events ensures that the Pharisees realize that Jesus must be stopped. On the way, the film follows the Scriptures diligently. It has done wonders and sick and lame were healed. But what makes this cheesy, sacrifices to tell a little bland on the altar by the numbers, it is passion and a message that the viewer in the gut. This film does not have that unit.

The painting of James Caviezel Christ gave viewers the creeps. But Morgado, on whose shoulders rests the weight of the film, despite the, failure to correct reproduction and large enough Jesus watch. What is even more strange is that, given the number of films on the life of Christ, he does not give something unique. There is very little fervor in the story and Pilate (Hicks) is very low, as it is considered the "villain" of the film.

If you want very good films inspired by and see the life of Christ, there are many other options that you can go instead.

Review:  A compelling documentary director unlike Dylan Mohan Gray, "Fuego en la sangre", which was released in cinemas in India in October last year, "Dallas Buyers Club" is a fascinating dramatization on the same subject.

Shows how the giants of the profession, the medical and pharmaceutical government in the US They were dragging their feet in the promotion of AZT face and ignoring the toxic side effects and the welfare of AIDS patients.

The film, written by Craig Borten and Melisa Wallack, was inspired by an article in The Dallas Morning News in 1992. It is one of a man holding a straight-up way of clinging to life alone because no expected found. It's a beautiful human story of strength, acceptance and adversity.
It continued in 1985, is the story of the real life of an electrician Ron Woodroof Dallas (Matthew McConaughey) who leads a carefree life. After a minor accident at work, landing in a hospital, where a blood test shows that it is infected with the HIV virus and said that he would live up to 30 days.

Shattered by this revelation, it reacts violently hateful grudge against the Sevard (Denis O'Hare) and Eva Saks (Jennifer Garner) Medical, playing their diagnosis as an insult to their heterosexual masculinity without restrictions.

Rejected and ostracized by many of his old friends, he plays with prostitutes and drugs, which weakens their immune system even more, developing into AIDS.

Being a resourceful, he first bribing a stretcher bearer to push a supply of AZT, the only drug test driver is currently FDA.

But when that supply dried, and his condition worsens, reality hits you hard. He realizes he must take stock of your life, it crosses the border in Mexico, where an American doctor without a license (Griffin Dunne) tells AZT is toxic and suggests alternative treatment. The new treatment stabilizes Ron and he feels better. It also gives the idea of a business opportunity.

So to deal with a customer base of gays and possible HIV patients is associated with Radius (Jared Leto) A transsexual addicted to drugs, which meets in the hospital. Together, they begin the "Dallas Buyers Club" in the amount of $ 400 for registration.

Ron escapes FDA regulations for the importation of unapproved drugs distributed "free" by the club, rather than load "entry fee", a loophole that meant he was not technically the sale of drugs. The operation was a scam, but the results have been impressive.

McConaughey plays Ron Woodroof with deep sincerity. Physical and emotional development of the character in the film is amazing and truly spectacular. It shines like the vile, selfish, racist, homophobic and also stands as a caring and kind person.

He is well supported by Jared Leto as Rayon these moments of life and highlights this dark story in a different way. He cast the role of compassion and humanity in balance with equal measures of self-destruction.

The address is passionate, if formulas with decent production values. Vallee touches the heart of the story at the beginning and ensures that the characters wear on their head and do digress.

What else? The film does not advocate or glorify self-medication behavior Ron Woodroof. Just put the cards on the table.
