has been finally approved the General Law on Audiovisual Communication, after fifteen years of waiting, and despite the many headaches that has led to their constituents, it appears that the vast majority are disagree with their actions. With the entry into force on May 1 of this Act statewide have come to light the negative aspects of it, although it is true that regulates situations quite flattering for citizenship.
An example of It is in the case of minors, and prohibiting open emission pornography or gratuitous violence, and also establishes that access to closed channels enable parental control. Moreover, if programs open, they must be classified by age content and coding that will allow the control of parents, the audiovisual authority approved. And here ends the positives.
What seems outrageous is that the new rules will force private operators to invest 5 percent of their income on European films and television series. This event is detrimental to the quality of fiction, since the priority rule is Hollywood, and a series or a movie worthy of the name should not be funded by their nationality but by the tastes of the audience.
Thus, if the preferences of the public opt for the other side of the pond, the work should exercise good producers would try to accommodate the needs of their audiences dwindling in these areas, and seek to offer what they are seeking.
Children star in the premiere of Magic Journey to Africa
butterflies, lions, giraffes, winged horses and hundreds of children gathered at the Teatro Filmax Granvia in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bat the preview of Magical Journey to Africa . Although undoubtedly the smallest were the protagonists of the projection of the first English film for 3D . From the hand of parents and even grandparents, children lined up excited about the adventure that awaited them. With the innocence and sincerity that characterizes approached without fear of makeup artists who were waiting inside the theater with paints prepared. Within minutes, the most mischievous became lions, cats, tigers and most presumed asked to be butterflies and ratites for a day. Large and dwarfs, enjoyed a different way of approaching the film but the best was yet arrive.
With the help of their parents, hopping and jumping, "new creatures" began to enter the hall and almost forced to sit in their seats. It did not help much to the older entry, shared the for 3D glasses and a mask with a picture of the king of the jungle and the name of the movie . The excitement began to seize the children smiled and played with their new accessories. And while the lights dimmed and began the official presentation of the film, followed by murmurs of small rings. did not matter that the film director himself, Jordi Llompart, and some of the actors and Adria Collado, Veronica Blume, addressed them. The whispers on the goggles, mask painting and continued practically until the display showed the film's title in Catalan.
Then everything changed environment. A different climate, magical, seized the film room in minutes. The story of Hannah, a girl who embarks on a journey into the world of dreams represented across Africa, was seeping deep among the spectators. The glasses, how could it be otherwise, they gave a half game and took them off more than once during the projection, to see the differences there was. Quickly, before anyone saw them, they returned to wearing. As the movie progressed, so did the comments on the effects of 3D . "Look, look, it's as if we could touch it," seemed to say by extending his arms towards the screen. There were times, even where a whole row stood rapt to play the characters that accompany this song Jana naiveté. However, all good and this movie is finished, an hour and a half, is no exception. The room lighting, put an end to the preview of that left parents and children happy. With a smile on the face and back of the hand, left the cinema with desire to return.
Almost half of the premieres this weekend with the English character. Four movies, three dramas and the first national 3D film, will star in the bill as of Friday 7 May. Stresses Room in Rome , a film in which two women who know just strike up a relationship in a hotel room. Eroticism, the sensitivity and risqué scenes again become actors in a film directed by Julio Medem .
The titles of two dramas, curiously, are linked to religious symbolism. First, Stigmata tells the story of an alcoholic named Bruno who mysteriously wakes up one morning with cuts on his hands. Adam Adiaga directs this particular trip to the redemption through suffering and pain. On the other hand, opens beloved Mother Pilar Tavora film on the life Alfredito, a Franco-born homosexual who narrates his own life, a monologue to the virgin to the dressing for a procession .
Finally, it also emphasizes the premiere of the first English film in 3D: Magical Journey to Africa. Its director, Catalan Jordi Llompart, invites visitors to discover this continent through the eyes of a girl, Jana, who is accompanied by animals such as a lynx, a winged horse or a lion looking for a boy she met Bushman in a hospital in Barcelona. The film, shot in English, is committed to a major and philosophical background, while using special effects, does not rely only on them to tell the story. With a budget of ten million euros, Magical Journey to Africa is the first fiction film in English and European 3D. This Friday will be released in IMAX theaters and in all 2D and 3D.
The model underlying the English film falters. The new Audiovisual Act requires broadcasters to invest only 5% of their income on English and European productions. To this must be added that in 2009 the subsidies were removed would give the government for the shootings at the beginning of 2010. Industry had never seen a situation so fragile.
The industry lives in the unrest, although the latest figures assistance to the rooms far exceed previous years' data. English films abound among the most views in the past three months: Agora, English movie, Planet Cell 51 211 or so joined in an exceptional year in terms of box office Broken Embraces, Brain Drain, Lies and fat or Rec 2 . Many of these films have been produced with the investment of private television channels, whose contribution is on average one third of the total budget of a English film.
And against such a concern of film, the joy of televisions. The sector has received the new standard as a great victory, a decisive step in its long battle. A gesture that reinforces the thesis that the cinema and television are different businesses. General Audiovisual Law also requires telecommunications carriers to offer audiovisual services, to invest 5% of their income on movies.
In conclusion, the English film still be benefited by television, and that it was not enough money allocated to grow not only in Europe but worldwide. Televisions in turn disagree with the new because they indicate that they should invest in what they want ... but do the following question: if not force them to invest in domestic production do you think that television would bet por el cine español?
Después de seis años de debate, el Pleno del Congreso ha aprobado la nueva Ley General Audiovisual, con el apoyo de PSOE, CiU y CC. Como objetivo de esta nueva norma "poner orden en el sector". Este nuevo reglamente constituye una auténtica amenaza tanto para la libertad de expresión como para la libertad de empresa. Entre la maraña de normas específicas, se puede ver la obligatoriedad de los canales privados a invertir el cinco por ciento de sus ingresos en cine europeo, la prohibición de retransmitir programas de juegos y apuestas en cierto horario, y la regalución del tiempo y del advertising broadcast mode.
Apart from this, has created a State Council of Audiovisual Media, and most troubling is that you have the power to sanction and even withdraw licenses to those media that do not obey certain rules and that "overtly encourage hatred, contempt or discrimination based on birth, race, sex, religion, nationality, political opinion, or any other personal or social circumstance. "
The only positive we can draw from this is if the media calls have areas accessible to people with visual or hearing impairment. Another point in its favor is that it tries to protect the child schedule including advertising, so that prohibits the issuance of alcohol ads, snuff or content harmful to children.
Nobody likes that the media promote these negative values, but we can not allow a law to censor the views that simply do not like the government. And if by chance, an information out the foot of the pot, and there are courts in which such crimes are covered legal issues. Why justice is out of this? It should not be taken freedom of speech as a partial case is an aberration to the rule of law which until now have enjoyed our media. But this can affect not only traditional media (newspapers, radio, television), also have influence on online media. Any means available audiovisual content, the object of these "screening."
censorship "Gladiator" becomes Robin Hood Interview
In May come to our theaters, "Robin Hood." Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe turn it over to a myth to make his story in an authentic cinematic experience equal to or larger than it was the "Gladiator." As its producer Charles Schlissel: "Gladiator" was the story of a man trying to regain their peace and go home and this is a man trying to find his destiny.
At the heart of the rolling hills of Surrey recreates the legend of Robin Hood. It was last summer when the director Ridley Scott and his team recorded one of the key scenes in a path full of leaves and mud, flanked by towering oaks. The shooting touched 19-week end. Russel Crowe, who plays the famous outlaw, waiting impatiently for him to roll call and taps to double-check her outfit. Robin Hood is the fifth film of Scott and Crowe, following Gladiator, A Good Year, American Gangster and Body of Lies. They rolled together ten years all over the world, but mostly with success and spectacular results that neither imagined.
Heavy rain pone las cosas muy difíciles para los actores y el equipo técnico, pero a pesar de todo, el humor siempre reina en el rodaje. El pueblo de Nottingham es uno de los principales decorados de la película y está diseñado por Arthur Max, que ya consiguió el óscar en el años 2008 por los decorados de la película American Gangster. Según cuenta Russell Crowe “al entrar en los decorados, se vuelve atrás en el tiempo, los detalles son increíbles. Lo tenemos todos: las casas, lonja de cereales, una taberna llamada The Bait and Trap. Poder trabajar en un decorado así ayuda mucho”. Max buscó decorados que se adecuaran a la Inglaterra del siglo XII y para recrear el bosque Sherwood. Según nos explica decorator "is an epic story and filming it was almost as epic the story itself that counts. We looked all over England and made an inventory of architectural remains of the century X, XI and XII, but the problem is that almost all the time is in ruins. The exception was when Scott took the team to the coast of Pembrokeshire, where they filmed one of the great battles of the film. There were 130 horses galloped in a beautiful beach and 500 extra walk. Scenes like this produce a unique adrenaline rush.
The film is an action-packed historical thriller that explores the principle of Robin Hood is a story which describes the principal actor "with much heart." It is a story that was told as a ballad, legend, has also been used as a political tool by governors, but also by the church. In this case we have tried to do something different. The central idea, robbing the rich to give to the poor, are still present, but the way they are presented has changed.
The actor Russell Crowe plays Robin Longstride, a soldier who fought in the Crusades under the command of Richard the Lionheart. When Robin comes to the people of Nottingham feel that their duty is to defend the defenseless people and fulfill his true destiny. He also feels a strong attraction to the beautiful Lady Marion, played by Cate Blanchett. The attraction between these two figures represents the center of the film, because it is a very adult romance in the best sense of the word. In this film we see how the couple knows how to fall in love, why there is ... is a perfectly believable story.
The scale of the film is enormous: 25,000 pieces of clothing, mostly taken from the movie The Kingdom of Heaven, set in the same period. The key the costumes is in the details that bring truth to the story that develops in the story. For example, each of the men in the northern crown threatening to rebel, had its own currency, based on authentic coats of arms of noble families of England. Schlissel says his producer, "Robin Hood is a movie that is not ashamed to be. We tell the story of one of the most enduring myths of all time. "
The "new" Audiovisual Media and Communications Law, effective May 1, rising from the hand of the controversy. The standard is a rehash that has taken nearly fifteen years move forward and repealing several laws of the audiovisual industry and keeps current with changes many others. Among them, the obligation of broadcasters to finance with 5% of their income to the English film industry. So far, only related to TV films and movies, but the recently passed law now also includes the television series. This long-standing demand of the chains allowed to invest 40% of those revenues to the production of television fiction, which means a windfall because most channels are also involved in audiovisual production. The government has tried to appease and UTECA but not been given too well. Should have assumed that, as private companies they are, they always want more benefits television address. I do not care now can invest in their own production, they still need more and, therefore, continue to claim the unconstitutionality of the law. That's the danger of playing in favor of the more, never satisfied at all and if you give your hand, I limp arm. In fact, the Constitutional Court has given the reason, for now, and has begun processing the issue of broadcasters who argue that infringe upon freedom of enterprise, to force a private organization, such as strings, to invest another private entity, such as the film. Professionals English cinema, meanwhile, have hit the sky. The industry argues that it is impossible to survive without the help of television and, in comparison with other European countries, the contribution is made in Spain is negligible. Moreover, according to forecasts, this change in the Audiovisual Law that the investment can fall between 30% and 40%, which will mean a major setback for the industry. In short, they also want more. The problem is that government no longer has to draw from. The Act was intended to please both sectors, but finally he has achieved is to increase the discord between the audiovisual business. This is what usually happens when only concern is getting right to business, without worrying about what he wants the viewer. If the law should think a bit more in the public that should be the most important factor to be accomplished, at least someone agree with the standard.

And above all, to know from before intervening in the series that my character would be Ivan, was a challenge to try any of the characters around me I knew in the series and not realize it was the actors in the real life. My character, I said who he was soon signed the contract, but nobody knew until chapter 24 or 25 that I was Ivan, and this is really interesting. The character was coming out bit by bit, we were passing things, but really had a very interesting final goal, always hidden.
2. When Luis / Ivan collapses I think you're at one of your best performances. Was it difficult to get that Ivan devastated by the death of his wife and daughter?
Answer: I think it's interesting to see a character who is always on, above, a new rich with power, money ... Collapse view is very beautiful and in any interpretation becomes a very interesting dramatic arc for an actor being able to show the weaknesses of a character. Many things that happened in the last two chapters have cost me, as I said before, but were important in history because it was a kind of character I had therapy to deal with everything he had done in his life. It's complicated, yet interesting to an actor faced with a character, which goes from top to be sunk.

5. Has it been hard to play the role of evil? How do you feel better, or antagonist Starring?
Answer: I feel better good roles, I do not care whether good or bad characters. Of course the bad guys, I played many times, are more fun and have more attachment to the public. If you have different facets and edges, where there is more to investigate and dig if they are linear and flat. Sometimes it is better a bad guy with many edges, but leave time, a character actor is absolutely flat.
6. What actor in the series has remained more complicity in acting?

Answer: I think people often expect to see what you would like to happen, but life is not so and ends need not be those who wish. It was a sad ending, emotional. I personally liked, but I recognize that I am not aim to discuss these things.
8. What other jobs have you done before the series?
Answer: For us it is very important. I already took almost 20 years working on this and at this time, of course, some things I've done in film, theater and TV. Titles such important films as "The City", "My Mother Likes Women" and on TV too many things ...
9. Is there an option for a third season?
Answer: In terms of seasons, is a decision of the heads of the chains. The chain decided to treat or mistreat it. In that sense can promote it more, less, make it ten in the evening or at one o'clock. Can do two seasons, three, four or loaded into the first. Never depend on us.
Farewell message: Thank you to all who have followed us to soldier on despite all the sorrow and the odd hours we have. I admire that loyalty. I am pleased and surprised with the amount of people who are interested in this genre and it shows in the forums, their comments seem superingeniosos, especially of those viewers who are watching everything that happens and not lose any detail. You are worthy of admiration. I Both comments surprised that many of the writers would say that would prove as writers because some insurance that would earn a living from it.
