When a trade is mastered, a lot remains of devotion, of essential learning, of dedication in body and soul to an inheritance far beyond the material. That is the case of a Javier Bardem that in some awards ceremony he remembered the comedians as a synecdoche of the interpretation. And nothing more successful because in the search for symmetries that is theater or cinema, comedians are those who best tackle the task of arousing emotions with total empathy. Whether it makes the viewer smile or shed tears, the setting is always the strange comedy of life made rabidly believable.
Currently it is impossible to quote Javier Bardem without his inseparable Penelope Cruz, a couple that rides so much, rides both in productions made in Spain or from the mecca of cinema. Because Hollywood already recognizes both of them as the great actors they are. In the case of Bardem, from a chameleon-like virtuosity that is difficult to compare. Because to characterize according to which interpreter, based on basic profiles, you can think of a multitude of good actors. However, to delve deeper into a character, Bardem is the perfect actor.
From the unfortunate Ramón Sampedro to the most disturbing psychopath on celluloid after Norman Bates, and it is not exaggerated. Between both extremes a whole host of personalities where Bardem manages to paste the world around the character. And there is no scene that Javier does not magnetize with an unusual centripetal force.

Top 3 Recommended Javier Bardem Movies
Into the sea
AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:I have ever mentioned it. And it is that I do not usually like the biographies of almost anyone except that of worldly characters. Because the heroics of the day, the praises and the epic notions of the winner of the day produce drowsiness and abhorrence in me.
But without knowing it, perhaps these pretentious narratives of the life and work of the day serve the cause of elevating even more those other narratives of already fascinating personalities in their evolution through this world. It seemed that Ramón Sampedro could tell little of a bedridden life.
A few years had passed since Ramón represented so many others in search of euthanasia as the only way out. The newscasts opened with him and with the moral dilemma that he posed, as well as the repercussion in the most reactionary environments on life when it is not his own life.
But beyond the controversy, the film brilliantly addressed the fullness of what was lived, that strange melancholy that starts from the most unexpected fatality. And as we discover Ramón and his philosophy on the edge of the abyss, we learn to value life as a sequence of fortunate events where the will is everything bathed in the fierce waters of desire, of unappreciated happiness, of the daily love that passes by high. The old little things so often mentioned recover that value to not take anything for granted and to say goodbyes when they touch, when everything is done.
the good boss
A large Javier Bardem movie that you can watch for free down here…
AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:Perhaps it is a paradigm in danger of extinction. Perhaps it is everything that can be expected from an entrepreneur or nothing more than the anomaly among those who run their businesses as well as they can today. The market rules and the strategies of each one can go through the most misleading advertising or the exploitation of their resources, especially human ones.
Nothing better than a point of acid humor with which to spice up any realistic story. Because reality is stranger than fiction also in business and work. The mess is assured when Julio Blanco approaches that stroke of luck in the form of a business award...
Business ethical principles and values always in perfect balance, even more so if your business is scales. A good man from his wife's bed to behind his office table. A guy to trust from the rebellious son to the most immaculate looking daughter. Because in both cases he will know how to handle the children to lead them to a productive and happy life...
July White (Javier Bardem), a charismatic owner of a company that manufactures industrial scales in a provincial Spanish city, awaits the imminent visit of a commission that will decide his fate and the obtaining of a local award for business excellence, for which everything has to be perfect for the visit. However, everything seems to conspire against him. Working against the clock, Blanco tries to solve the problems of his employees, crossing all imaginable lines, giving rise to an unexpected and explosive succession of events with unforeseeable consequences.
biutiful
AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:The phonetic adaptation of English to Spanish has something of reduction to the absurd or at least strips the expression of its original meaning to load it with more mundane aspects. Especially for those of us who learn English as if it sounded like sophistication and greater importance of the concept.
There is nothing biutiful about this film, which dramatizes with greater intensity a big-city neighborhood tragedy. Where to become disinherited can be a matter of one day and with little hope of lyrical improvement. Because one thing is to see Will Smith's movie "The Pursuit of Happyness", where the American dream is only a matter of time between disaster and another is to discover that beauty is a mirage, a delusion, a blinding light.
As the film progresses, the protagonist's health deteriorates and he faces various personal conflicts, which include raising and raising his children Ana and Mateo alone, since the children's mother, Marambra (Maricel Alvarez), is bipolar and alcoholic and does not live with the rest of the family; her treatment with her brother Tito (Eduard Fernández), who is the only relative left alive and who apparently has an affair with Marambra; the absence of his parents, since he did not get to know his father, who was exiled from Spain during the fascist dictatorship Francisco Franco and passed away in Mexico before he was born, and his mother died when he was still a child; his collaboration in the exploitation of illegal immigrants from Africa and Asia; and his lack of money, among others.
In addition to the above, it is noteworthy that Uxbal has the strange ability to see and communicate with the spirits of the recently deceased, and is even responsible for bringing them messages from their relatives.
