Many film blogs and specialized critics have talked about which was the best film of 2008 and, almost all have reached the same conclusion: the best films of the year have been Batman, The Dark Knight y Wall-E.
To me The dark knight I think it is an excellent commercial film, very entertaining and with a fairly good and mature script, not like the rest of the American superhero productions that have a script for five-year-olds, but it stays there in a good movie, not a masterpiece.
Instead, Wall-E He has tried to break schemes, making a homage film to silent cinema where the expression of the body said it all, and in that, the magical and tender Wall-E is a masterpiece. His face says it all and he doesn't need to speak to get us excited.
Undoubtedly, in a year where very few good films have been released, we can count on the fingers of one hand, I am left with Wall-E as best film of the year 2008.
Also, it should be noted that this year Italian cinema has made two great films such as Gomorrah e Il Divo that have worked very well in the rest of the world.
