Reseñas de la cartelera semanal / Lo último que ví en 2007

La Brújula Dorada **
(The Golden Compass, EUA/RU 2007)
Calificaciones: ****Excelente ***Buena **Regular *Mala

Continuando con la nueva corriente de cine basado en literatura inglesa fantástica (El Señor de los Anillos, Harry Potter, Las Crónicas de Narnia, Stardust), Chris Weitz escribe y dirige la adaptación de la novela Luces del Norte, de Philip Pullman, primera parte de una trilogía (al menos en el papel) que trata, hasta donde me he enterado, sobre una guerra contra la religión y la figura de Dios, a favor del libre albedrío.

Tal vez si la cinta de Weitz se tratara de lo mismo, sería más interesante que este producto que apenas alcanza a presentar en menos de dos horas una multitud de personajes y situaciones, y de manera evidentemente rebuscada le saca la vuelta al tema y se centra en una niña, Lyra, que aparentemente es algo así como el Mesías del libre pensamiento. El reparto es intachable (actores del protectorado británico, encabezados por Nicole Kidman y Daniel Craig, con Ian McKellen y Freddie Highmore haciendo las voces de animales realistas creados digitalmente), los efectos especiales y la animación computarizada son tan buenos como El Señor de los Anillos (New Line Cinema lo hace otra vez), pero lo apresurado del asunto (hay personajes importantes que apenas están en pantalla unos 5 minutos, cuando mucho) y la simplificación de la historia, no hacen más que picar la curiosidad de si la novela presenta de mejor manera sus ideas.

Weitz hizo ya una excelente adaptación de otra novela inglesa (About a Boy, de Nick Hornby) en la espléndida película Un Gran Chico, con Hugh Grant, que en 2002 se convirtió en una de las grandes adiciones a la tradición de comedias costumbristas de ese país. Por lo visto en La Brújula Dorada, la fantasía (y la religión) no son su fuerte. New Line haría bien en cambiar de adaptador y ejecutor para las dos partes restantes.

Qué tal Filomeno. La verdad, los cineastas no tuvieron el valor de hacer algo ni anti religioso ni anti católico. Tengo entendido, por un par de artículos que leí y un par de entrevistas, una con Philip Pullman, el autor de las novelas, y otra con Chris Weitz, el adaptador y director de la cinta, que se eliminaron los pasajes que directamente hablan en contra de Dios y la religión organizada. A mí me molestó lo evidente que se hace este esfuerzo en el guión, con diálogos excsivamente rebuscados para expresar ideas anti religiosas a quien tenga ganas de oírlas.
La verdad, la entrevista con Pullman me hizo pensar que sus intereses particulares están por encima de la literatura. Tal vez no sea así y las novelas sí son buenas; en todo caso, ello probaría por qué quienes escribimos nos expresamos mejor en las letras y no de viva voz.
Salud.
