It's been a long time since that amazing film (even more surprising for narrow and reactionary minds) from Brokeback Mountain. We'll talk about her later. The point is that beyond having grown up in the world of cinema, thanks to his father's director and his mother's screenwriter, roles like that of Brokeback Mountain confirmed the actor's ability above any other aspect.
After widespread recognition comes when the actor decides his roles more or less correctly. And in Jake's case there is everything, as in any case except in that of Brad Pitt that turns everything it touches into a movie no matter how few plot aspirations the tape has.
Returning to Jake, we start from an interpretive type that awakens empathy with the viewer, from the wise work of a smile that mixes the romantic with the melancholic. Characters with a friendly appearance but with their shadows to discover, who serve the cause of the most unexpected characterization. Well-worked gifts or virtues that manage to make Jake a versatile actor, capable of the tragicomic without hardly changing register.

Brokeback Mountain
AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:A tape in which the relationship between the character of the ill-fated Heat Ledger and that of Jake himself surprised everyone with his impossible love due to the constraints of his circumstances, beliefs and customs. One of those stories that are recorded about the most impossible of loves not from pure romanticism but from the contradictions themselves.
Endowed with an overwhelming scenery, it brings us closer to a passionate encounter up the mountain, between pastures conducive to cattle and for love between two men that they never suspected could occur.
The film tells the story of Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist, two young men who meet and fall in love during the summer of 1963 while working to herd sheep on Brokeback Mountain, a fictional place in the US state of Wyoming. The film tells the story of their lives and their ongoing yet complex relationship for two decades, which continues as they both marry their girlfriends and have children.
In the long months of isolation in full grazing, a special bond begins to develop between the two. One night, after drinking whiskey, Jack makes a romantic advance to Ennis, who at first refuses, but later agrees to have sex with him. Although she warns Jack that it would only happen once, Ennis realizes that she is in a physically and emotionally powerful relationship with his mate for the rest of their time together. Shortly after discovering that their time together was suddenly going to end, they get into a fistfight, causing each other bruises.

AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:One of those movies in which science fiction is at the service of suspense. And of course, with the number of assumptions and twists that an argument projected in thousands of directions can offer, the development keeps you magnetized around the reality of the matter.
A movie from a few years ago, but that seemed to glimpse all that of the metaverse, no matter how far that idea goes. Augmented reality as time travel, a technological experiment of the first magnitude so that we can enjoy, together with our friend Jake, a dizzying investigation to find out who is responsible for a brutal attack. Some other film such as Denzel Washington's "Deja Vu" already addressed similar arguments. And surely more proposals will come that raise this idea. Because it is certainly absorbing.
Captain Colter Stevens, who is participating in an experimental government program to investigate a terrorist attack, wakes up in the shoes of a time traveler whose mission is to relive the attack on a train over and over again until he finds out who is to blame. . A communications officer (Farmiga) will guide Stevens on his journey through time. On the train the young man meets a traveler (Monaghan) for whom he will feel attracted.
ENEMY
AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:I like the idea of identity conflicts as an argument. Even more so, if it is an adaptation as powerful as this film is from "The Duplicate Man" by Saramago. Because, as happened recently with the success of "The crooked lines of God", by Luca de Tena for Netflix, good literature has a lot to say to build great thrillers.
Being a simple inspiration to end up doing free interpretation, the film moves away from deeper aspects that the novel contributes. But being such juicy approaches, the merely effective also wins us over to the cause.
