The ocean of life is strange. Sometimes it brings happiness to lull, but it is not uncommon can drown the men in the dark of adversity and confusion. A film from Mexican director Gonzales Innaritu can be a reflection how human beings live their life drama that is difficult to guess its scenario.
This story focuses on Uxbal Bitiful (Javier Bardem), a middle-aged man who is given talents can see the human souls who recently dies. Through his connections in cemetery, Uxbal comes to anyone who is willing to use his talent.
He is paid to communicate the messages of people who has died to their relatives, for those souls can rest in peace. His ability is used by him as a source of livelihood, just a breath to connect the hard life in Barcelona city, Spain.
His physique is mysterious, he keeps the story of life's ironic. Although not a bad man, Uxbal (such as no choice) helps (and exploits) the illegal immigrants. Through his contacts at local police, he bribes some police to allow the Negro (the term for black people) to open the stall of illegal goods. Then the rest of bribe money received from the merchant becomes his income.
The same dirty tricks done by him to defend manufacturer of counterfeit goods and pirated. All his workers are illegal immigrants from China, including a young girl who is asked for help to care for his children.
In the early minutes, audience are invited to see his tangled life. After parting with his wife, Marambra (Marciel Alvarez) a woman which has a dual personality and avid with prostitution, Uxbal struggles to collect dollars for his two children, Ana (Hanaa Bouchaib) and Mateo (Guillermo Estrella).
His sad routine becomes increasingly ironic as he is sentenced to suffer a malignant cancer. He can't accept this fact, he's not ready to leave his children. "Is this punishment?" he whimpers, he can't hold back his tears. His time is not much, just two months to unravel all of the kinks of his life.
This unperfect man is so anxious to improve the remnant of his days without any regrets. He starts it by trying to improve his attitude to his little Mateo (7 years). He spends as much time for his daughter while she's doing homework, until in his efforts to trust his wife again.
It's a simple action, but enough to touch the feelings when watching them try to bring back the warmth of a family in a dinner conversation.
He struggles desperately while the pirated factories can't operate anymore, its workers are inserted by him illegally as a construction worker at one of his company's older brother, Tito. But, destiny seems reluctant to work together with him. The situation gets worse. The police (who bribed by him for treason) catch all the illegal traders who are also selling the drugs.
The heater which is bought by him for factory workers kills them in an accident. The peak of his crisis is when he knows that his wife can't be changed, she sleeps with her husband's brother, Tito, for the sake of money and pleasure.
All his bitterness of life becomes a sharp social portrait of poor people lives in Spain. It starts from their attachment to mystical world, until their lives in miserable flats. The narrow alleys full of homeless people, also illegal immigrants who are exploited in such a way, sleep crammed into the narrow factory.
Spanish exoticism as if sucked down into this movie, replaced by a life's irony. How can money enslave the humans? This social disease also affects the lower class of society. It can be seen from the insensitivity, hypocrisy, until taking personal advantage.
But, at the end of his life, in the midst of his weakness to fix all the mess done by him, Innaritu puts his consciousness and beauty in this film. It is his love to his children. Especially when his daughter knows that he hides his dying condition, there's a strong love connection between a father and his children.

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's "Biutiful" is a gorgeous, melancholy tone poem about love, fatherhood and guilt. Some scenes are absolutely wrenching to behold.

Adriaan Zef : Rating agency Fitch Ratings cut its credit rating outlook for Spain because of the increasing growth of poverty, only one day after the government would make budget savings to address the fears of economic recession . As a result, stock market in U.S. markets slid sharply when the news came, and the euro weakened against dollar.
Spain Fitch downgraded one level from maximum level of AAA to AA+ position. The reason, the Spanish government seemed to be focusing on economic recovery.
"The process of economic adjustment will be more difficult and will take longer than other economies with AAA ratings that carried the Spanish government, that's why the Spanish rating lowered to AA+," Fitch said as quoted by AFP on Sunday (05/30/2010).
Fitch also warned that the rigidity of labor markets and restructuring of regional and local savings banks would be obstacles to impede the economic recovery speed, especially after the explosion of real estate products. Private sector and material external debt would also slow the Spanish economy growth rate over medium term.

Adriaan Zef : Making movies which really nice about family court is never easy. How is it not? Can we find out the character and psychological conditions of their figure? It's not as easy as imagined. There are limits that can't be penetrated, and therefore Colin Firth eligible to receive two thumbs up for his acting as King George VI.
Cisca Zarmansyah : Not only Firth who deserves a thumbs up, Zef. Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter are playing very beautiful in this film. More than that, there's a strong chemistry between Firth and Rush, it's further strengthening their acting. The marital relationship between Firth and Bonham Carter also looks extremely convincing.
Adriaan Zef : Apart from the individual's ability, a value of this film seems to start since it's still in manuscript form. David Seidler seems very solid, so it's not too difficult for the actors and actresses to understand it. For Tom Hooper, it becomes easier for him to create a global visualization of the script earlier.
