The 3 best films of the now legendary Brad Pitt

We all thought that that kid Thelma and Louise He had come to the cinema for secondary roles where he could show off his palm and wink his eyes (one after the other). But the twenty-year-old persisted in his acting vocation (which he had been developing long before Thelma and Louise) and, despite the fact that his charm sometimes devours his characters, Pitt was carving out that destiny of a great actor that places him today in the most Hollywood high.

On one occasion I read an anecdote about a girl who, being bored at home, went out for a drink during the SEMINCI in Valladolid to end up whipping a Brad Pitt on the verge of interpretive hatching. It was the year 1991 and for her the gustirrinín remains when she sees him in his infinity of roles with the most expensive productions and under the best directions in the world.

Curiosities aside, without a doubt, we find this heir to Paul Newman first and Robert Redford later. Stars of a cinema now in color whose indisputable and unmatched appeal found endorsement in their characters. Here we go with my selection of the best “Blas Pit” movies, as my father calls it…

Top 3 Recommended Brad Pitt Movies

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:

Certainly this role was made for Brad Pitt. Because the plot has something of an allegory of the longed-for and unattainable infinite youth, as well as the insurmountable beauty of its ephemeral nature (and of course, Jordi Hurtado has his one when it comes to longevity but he did not measure up to the second premise…).

In this idea of ​​life as an equivocal approach, to which he already pointed Quino When he said that we should start out old and end in an unbridled orgasm, Brad Pitt manages to materialize it with his imperturbable future, with the assumption that he is going against the current and that the martyrdom is even greater.

Because the peak moments, in lives intertwined by mere moments of plenitude, can always be idealized while waiting for second chances. But in the case of Benjamin and Daisy everything happened to be forgotten, to accept defeats even harder than those granted by the natural passage in this world.

In this fantastic staging that ends up reaching transcendental notions, Benjamin Button manages to make us believe that his Apollonian gifts are a curse from which to extract another vision of life where the fears of death that mark us, directly or subliminally between each frame of our days, they are nothing more than an anticipation of the same nothing that is to be born and moments before not to exist.

Life is that blessing that occurs from a spark that ignites everything and that breath that takes the light forever. Benjamin Button accompanies us for a while and then lets us go with that unforgettable grin, as if conveying the confidence that death is not such a big deal. Or even that after our last heartbeat he can expect something that he will long for forever because he already knew it before reaching the world.

Damn bastards

AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:

Making violence and blood morbidly adrenaline is something that Tarantino achieves with the ease of an expert surgeon working on a kidney transplant. The point is to then offer a consistent plot, a typical historical setting that he breaks down to present it to us as strange, deranged and hilarious at times. And then there is Brad Pitt with that darkened look, that beauty that stops being kind, like a complacent son-in-law, to immerse itself in the thousand-meter gaze that he had on soldiers traumatized in conflicts.

An undeniable spirit of revenge spread over history as a people in charge of justice against the genocide (something like Mussolini in the square in Milan, a film version). The point is that we do not think so badly the hunt for Nazis by which Brad Pitt and company lead us. We are even mildly pleased with the movie massacre and squint as Pitt points at the forehead of the wicked Nazis with his tongue out, like a child painting with watercolors.

Yes, it is a sinister film but it is also a great adventure film, and a good intra-period story in Hitler's Germany. Beyond Brad Pitt, we must point out the role of another actor such as Christoph Waltz, whom we all want to kill with our own hands ...

the bullet train

AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:

An erratic and delirious presentation film. A lysergic trip aboard a train where the most crazy assassins are incited. Hired assassins who hide their mission cards to the bewilderment of the viewer. Or rather characters moved by the strings of some obscure interest that seems to have planned a slaughter between each other.

Back and forth to previous missions of each mercenary or mercenary to understand the pending accounts that can justify the bloodbaths and other even darker humors. Among all of them Brad Pitt, nicknamed sissy for the occasion, stands out with a search for his place in the world between blood and sinister surprises.

Lemon and tangerine will be his enemies suddenly allies to figure out what could be happening between so much disaster, catastrophic murders and a train that moves at full speed with its 1-minute stops at each station. Then there are Lobo or Princesa, also cajoled into embarking on a journey that is as violent as it is hilarious. Above all of them the pending accounts of Muerte Blanca and Yazuza, who ultimately point to the natural epic of revenge typical of these films.

Mariquita would not like to participate in the bloody feast, he is already on a different wavelength and was only passing by to pick up a briefcase as his last mission. In his total misplacement, the absurdity appears brilliantly in his confrontations, gestures, dialogues and soliloquies.

Other recommended Brad Pitt movies…

Seven

It was not so long ago that great real thrillers were concatenated, those of vicious criminals capable of anything to get their plan known to the world. Seven is not lagging behind The silence of the lambs. The seven deadly sins executed one by one. Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman looking to hunt down an imaginative assassin played by Kevin Spacey.

One always suspects in this type of film that something escapes us. That in that search for surprise, for the final effect, the roll will end up leaving us speechless. And we can also intuit that the researcher represented by Pitt has all the ballots to take one of those dire surprises. But the outstanding final execution, the tension between Kevin Spacey and Brad Pitt reaches epic overtones, of absolute drama ...

In case you want to remember it ... (not recommended for spoiler complainers)

-------------------------------------------

There are many other great movies where our friend Brad hangs out. Cases like: Sleepeers, The Fight Club, World War Z, 12 monkeys (spectacular in his role as unhinged) ... But you had to choose and I tried to opt for the movies where it has greater weight on stage beyond that specific quality in his appearances.
