GBZ ROCK FORTE: Um festival de musica por uma causa maior
Após
o sucesso de 2009 e 2011, a Associação Gambozinos volta a organizar, em
conjunto com a Câmara Municipal de Cascais, o seu maior festival de
angariação de fundos: o GBZ RockForte. João Só, Capitães da Areia,
Asterisco Cardinal Bomba Caveira e Ciclo Preparatório irão dar música ao
Parque de Palmela, em Cascais, no dia 28 de Setembro. A noite começa às
20h e irá ainda contar com a primeira atuação da banda Gambozinos, após
o lançamento do primeiro CD, em 2012.
“Da
primeira para a segunda edição do RockForte houve um grande salto”,
realça a diretora do evento, Joana Pessoa Jorge. Com início em 2009,
no Forte de S. Bruno, em Caxias (que dá o nome ao evento), onde
estiveram presentes cerca de 300 pessoas, rapidamente se foi expandindo.
“Em 2011, o RockForte cresceu, quer em termos de espaço (Parque de
Palmela), quer em número de pessoas, contando com mais de 700.” Este
ano, a expectativa é conseguir dar continuidade aos resultados dos anos
anteriores.
E
para que servem esses resultados? Para ajudar a Associação Gambozinos a
custear os seus diferentes projetos com crianças e jovens de meios
sociais, económicos e culturais distintos. Projetos que promovem a
justiça social e envolvem grupos de formação durante o ano, explicações,
campos de férias, acompanhamento a famílias, entre outros, em bairros
no Pragal, Peniche e Braga e cidades como Lisboa e Porto, entre outras.
OS
bilhetes, que custam 10 euros (ou 15 euros, no próprio dia), já se
encontram à venda na Bilheteira Online (internet, Fnac, CTT, El corte
inglês e locais habituais). Destinam-se a todas as pessoas, de qualquer
idade, que queiram ter uma ótima noite de pop e rock português, num anfiteatro ao ar livre, celebrando o final de mais um Verão.

Man of Steel (2013)
My expectations were incredibly high for a lot of different reasons...
Trailer, director (Zack Snyder) and producer (Christopher Nolan), cast (Henry Canvill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne and Russell Crowe), "time & age" in which it was released with so many different special effects and other resources to be used and abused...
This and much more... but even with all of what was just mentioned (more than enough motivation for me to have gone and watch it), the main reason was obviously the lead character: Superman.
It's someone that I've grown almost alongside with, despite being created around the 30's.
I have followed the "Man of Steel" from a very early age, reading most of his comic books, watching all the cartoons and movies... doing research by reading "history books" or watching documentaries. It was impossible to escape the obvious influences...
To a certain extent, through my parents - who allowed me to consume as much as I could from the "man in the blue suit" - I was even partially educated through his moral and ethic values.

With all of this, I've always considered myself to be sort of an expert on Kal-El (if there's such a thing), which led me to become dramatically critic of anything that is done around Superman.
So, with all this in mind, what's my take on this Man of Steel?
Disappointing is one of the (many) words that come up to mind.
I didn't hate it... far from it, but there are key components that either were missing or given the "screen time" it should have never seen.

From his young days to the death of his "Earth Father" (this is no spoiler... or at least it shouldn't be), the introduction and development (or lack of) of the "Fortress of Solitude", going through his relationship with Lois Lane, and ending with his integration in the Daily Planet (and much more) was poorly constructed, developed... and some of it was heavily distorted.
Despite all of this, there are plenty of good things... Most of the casting was good, liked the villain and visually it's magnificent. There is a lot of "eye candy" to go around, all of it done with finesse and creativity. This is as close as Superman has ever been portrayed... becoming tangible... believable - almost real to our eyes and in our minds.

Nonetheless, the rest felt pretty empty.
Poor scripting... just shallow and superficial almost at every end. What I thought Christopher Nolan was brought in to avoid/make happen... didn't! For me, it's nothing more than a showcase of what money and technology can do.
People complained that Superman Returns (2006) - the previous Superman directed by Bryan Singer and portrayed by newcomer Brandon Routh - was missing action sequences.
So what have production companies have learned from it? That Superman needs to blow up things and have tremendous fighting scenes.
No doubt about it... they have delivered that. Too much in fact!
So if I had to sum up all of this in a couple of lines?
I would say this is not the movie to educate people on who Superman is, where he comes from and what he is all about. This is a modern day adaptation based on current comic book editions, that fail to deliver the real core of the greatest super-hero of all-time. If you are able to set aside from the story and just want your money's worth on entertainment... then Man of Steel is a good bet! Otherwise... it will just disappoint you - especially if you are a true die-hard Superman fan like myself.
You are better off still watching the Richard Donner movie Superman filmed in 1978 (trailer) starring the then unknown Christopher Reeve who portrayed Superman on-screen just as much as off it.
