EOn May 4, one of the films that has received the best treatment from critics lately arrives in Spain, it is Half Nelson. Many of you will be wondering about this film, since it is not a blockbuster that has been announced with great fanfare, with three different trailers and all the fanfare that then remains in blank bullets.
Half Nelson may sound like those of you who are used to following the Oscars ceremony, because this year among the candidates for best actor was Ryan Gosling, the protagonist of the film, who acts as a young high school teacher from an area depressed, who is also addicted to crack and who maintains a very special relationship with her students, trying to motivate them.
Ryan Gosling is an excellent actor, one of the best of the new breed, who has worked in the roles of a young rebel and anti-establishment in many of the films in which he has participated, among which people can remember The Notebook (here it was translated as Noah's Diary), but where he develops all his talent to my understanding is in The Believer, playing the role of a neo-Nazi Jew.
Now, the young Canadian actor once again demonstrates all his acting talent by giving life to Dan Dunne, a controversial teacher.
It should also be noted that the film is the debut of Ryan Fleck, who is also in charge of the script along with Anna Boden. This is one of these premieres that one cannot help but see.
