Review of El hombre de al lado

What you see in history is a matter of class struggle, perhaps, refining a little more, the problem of classism. From where and because the contemptuous glance towards the other begins. The film does well in that what bothers the character is that his neighbor wants "to have a bit of the sun that he has". And it is very likely that if his character was a more agreed person with whom he usually deals, he would not have had a problem, an educated person. The same happens with tourists who want to see the design of their house, some let them pass and others do not. I highlight a phrase that says at one point, "the damage wikipedia did to people", implying that I do not want there to be free information for everyone and that it is more reserved. But also the window that the neighbor is placing, is not only going to leave his house bare, but his problems, brings out the worst in him. That description he gives of his neighbor, the "fat", is on many occasions what he is also, only that nobody tells him anything because they respect him. An example of this is the scene where a student is going to visit him and he wants to sleep with her, when, previous nights, he criticized his neighbor for inviting a young girl to sleep with him. Only his social class, elitism, allows it, somehow. Not only does he stay in that, but that window also unbalances his wife, who begins to spit on her husband, decides to tell them the things she keeps. It seems to me that the fact that the house is an architectural work is also related to notable social differences. The constant noise of the neighbor breaking the wall reminded me a lot of what was happening in "Casa taken" with strange and annoying noises while the order was interrupted. And taken home, it also takes the elements of cultural value that the characters possess. What happens in the film, that from the other side, Victor can see part of what Leonardo owns. I also rescue that Leonardo's daughter is the only character that somehow sympathizes with the stranger, it probably has to do with what is the only one in the house with any conscience beyond her elitism, by the poster of Che Guevara who have in your room. Also because of this contradiction, she refuses to listen to her father. I like the fog scene, I think that is when the character breaks, he is at a high level of helplessness. And that reveals what behind his success, there is a gap with his family. However, it seems to me that the conclusion is wrong. I was hoping that the movie will explode in the end, and that the worlds confront each other in a better way, but the movie, instead, scrapped its conflict, got rid of it, instead of doing something. Obviously the evaluation of a film does not change at the end, but in this case, it ends up leaving a bitter drink, because another path could have been explored .
