The Others

Hello friends!
Today I talk about the film we watched on Halloween, it calls the Others and it's exciting!
The title of the film refers to the people that everybody think that they are death really they are alive and the people alive like Grace and her sons are death or spirits. Amenábar create an horror atmosphere with some elements like the darkness, an old and large house with a big dark garden, the weather is always cloudy and the people in the house speaks very peacefuly. I think the atmosphere of the film is perfect so I wouldn't like to add any more.
The film set in the first mundial war (1914-1918), Amenabar show it to us because Grace's husband dies in this war.
Grace feels sad and worry because her daughter Anne has a lot of imagination and she misses her husband and she feels alone in the big house. She educates her sons in the house because her children can't see the sun. First of all it seems that Grace isn't crazy but at the end of the film her madness is demostrated because Anne explain to the old woman that her mother killed them and then she killed herself.
Anne and Nicholas are allergic to the sun so they live in the darkness. The courtins of the house always are closed.
The housekeepers know all the truth and they would like to explain it to Grace but it's difficult so they hide things that demostrate that they are ghosts.
I know another film of Alejandro Amenabar, it calls "Mar Adentro". Alejandro has 38 years old when he directed The Other film. It won eight Goya Awards including awards for Best Film and Best Director. This was the first Spanish film ever to receive the Best Film Award at the Goyas (Spain's national film awards) with not a single word of Spanish spoken in it.
I think that the Others can be considered a film representative of Gothic fiction because the atmophere of the film has got all the characteristiques of this kind of films.
