Esta é a Sua Morte

First, I am a big fan of Giancarlo Esposito who has been in many films as well as gained much notoriety as the Meth Dealing King in "Breaking Bad". Although I'm not sure, I believe this is his directorial debut in a feature length motion picture.

Without any spoilers, I will sum up why I thought his was a very well done and interesting film.

The premise: A reality show host witnesses two contestants get killed on live TV in a previous show he hosted. Fed up with mindless fake Television (aren't we all?) he formulates a "real" and fully transparent Isea for a show that has people wanting to commit suicide live on TV. The idea is, the network will put up $100,000 and the TV audience can match or donate as much to the surviving family members to better their lives.

Clearly, I'm sure this concept would break many laws in each and every state in the U.S. But, as is done in Hollywoodland, they address the legal aspects and find loopholes to allow this to be broadcast.

What I thought was very entertaining and thought provoking was the simple concept that Reality Television seems to be getting more and more perverse and it's not impossible to believe something of this sort and magnitude will eventually air and be watched by millions. This is not to say actual suicides will ever be televised. My point is, it seems television today has to go bigger and bolder to outdo one another to gain ratings.

The acting by all was way above par. The story line and plot simple enough but highly engaging. The concept very morbid but again, there is a quality of realism in its concept.

This is a very different story then the typical slop put out within the premise And done with a reality I thought was accurate. One caveat....again, I don't believe a show like this would ever be aired and those who would watch should have their heads examined. That said, I give it an 8/10 for originality and something entirely different.

Kudos Giancarlo!

I was primed for a cheap schocks, bad taste kind of movie and this was definitely more thoughtful and considered than that. What I couldn't get my head round for the entire running time (and what really dulled my enjoyment of the film) was how the host could at any point believe he was doing the show for the betterment of people (be they relatives/individuals/audience). It just wasn't a rational conclusion for a non- seriously mentally ill person to draw (as illustrated by the fact that everyone else in the movie thought the direct opposite). On a positive note I was impressed by the bombast of the ending even if it did get a little (more) ridiculous.

A sad look at the reality of reality tv. How far is too far, when it comes to the truths of peoples lives? If you want to watch a film that pushes the boundaries of the possibility of where entertainment can go in the not so distant future, then this film is for you. It has strong remnants of Black Mirror. It's scary how close to this reality we are every day.

Reality TV has gone too far and it should not move any further. Also society might derail if it continues this path. So let's watch out for that. The predictable preachy plot of the movie is one thing and at least it doesn't take any prisoners. But the message is being hammered so hard, that any subtlety is being lost entirely which is a shame.

The game show concept we see here and the blood lust of the viewing public is almost comical. Not because of the consequences, but because of the cliches it serves to. So the inciting incident at the beginning will spin the whole thing out of control, but with a very easy to spot goal/target. If you shut out the obvious, you may be able to "enjoy" the movie ... if not you may stay clear from this

The show, this was a different taste different type for me, havent seen a movie like that, the main idea was peoples sacraficing for each other, and all this tv propaganda to gain financial support attention and confidence, and how is money affecting people how they act with it, the exchange was soul for money, we all know money is controlling the world its the main cause of violent and disturbing, the message was clear and simple from it, the characters were acting great all of their appearances were there, giancarlo espocito was really there with his acting great performance and a great role, wasnt long wasnt boring, i was just keeping with the story from the beginning, they delivered the ending and we got it how things changed, this movie aint for all people you might not find it intresting but its good for its genre, 6/10⭐
