"The Constant Gardener" (The Constant Gardener) is a 2005 British film directed by Brazilian director Fernando Mierelles and starring Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz, the film was well received, and was nominated for several awards winning some British circles, is based on the novel by John Carré known as a writer of espionage.
Aesthetically the film is of great pleasure, gives us a tour of African landscapes and general photography is beautiful, love between couples is an important point in the film, as regards the argument is a complaint to the gruesome methods large pharmaceutical companies to gain millions at the expense of defenseless people unscrupulous experiments in this case, entire populations, although the location is in Kenya is based on a real event that occurred in Nigeria.
The plot begins when the protagonist, British diplomat, is assigned to the African country and decide to take your recienconocida partner as wife in her insistence, an activist against the managements of these companies manufacture drugs, which he unknown and hidden to protect it. In his work in silence it relates to a Kenyan doctor and find out how he was experimenting with patients with an anti tuberculosis leaving fatal consequences, but was denied care care to those who refused to submit to treatment and the victims were missing. Its activity is highly inconvenient for circles of power and this has, since mid-tape the consequence that directly affect the lives of British diplomat.
is not at all a typical movie hero against the representatives of evil where the first is invulnerable to bullets and unbeatable in the melee, it's a real plot with overtones, with believable characters, among African landscapes and people, between the everyday world that today as the lack of food for many, their poor housing conditions, their helplessness is dragging out the corruption, cynicism and the decision some reporting these unacceptable at any cost.
Raph Fiennes is known, among others, for his work in "The English Patient," "Schindler's List" (which is a cruel Nazi officer) and "Red Dragon" (the mass murderer); Weisz, with extensive experience in theater has been seen in the series "The Mummy"
in "Chain Reaction", this is a more serious and therefore won the Oscar and Golden Globe.
I recommend this work of Fernando Mierelles, I was left with the desire to seek his film "Blindness" ADB in the novel "In Praise of Blindness" by José Saramago.
