Confused, always alone and in front of a screen, now become a transfigured reality, but at the same time a measurable, controllable and manipulable one, he listens in loop to a song: one of those songs you sing or repeat as a prayer and forcing you to remember, believe and convince yourself.

Yo soy la felicidad de este mundo (2014) Reviews
Fair attempt at a not-often seen genre
I am happiness on earth, currently showing on Netflix (at least in Australia) reminds me of many art-house films I saw in the late 90's, early 00's; either in an alternate cinema or on VHS from a better video library. It does not surprise me that many reviewers here didn't "get it". It was slow-paced and as is the case with many art-house movies, the viewer is almost a voyeur looking into the different scenes and the lives of the different characters. The party scene was euro-lush taking the viewer there and building in excitement with the music and lighting. The rest of the movie has moments of bleakness; settings include bathrooms with graffiti; lounge rooms set in warehouses etc; it was all visually interesting. One disappointment was that the actor playing dancer Octavia could not dance. To be honest he probably gave it a red hot go; for the untrained ballet moves can be very difficult; but Octavia's solo show was pretty embarrassing to watch. Other dance scenes also seemed lacking in technique. What also surprised me was how many reviewers missed that the lengthy "ménage et trios" scene in the middle was the director's movie (as the credits rolled afterwards). I was quite confused while watching it (not to mention being questioned by my other half about the "soft porn" I was watching...lol) but the penny dropped eventually. All in all I found this a stimulating movie to watch; much of the interest lies in the supporting details. It has stayed with me since I watched it and probably will for some time.
Beautifully Presented
This is probably one of the most beautifully photographed movies I've seen. The use of light, shadow, focus, position and movement of the camera my technical knowledge and vocabulary limit what I can say about it, but it is stunning and sensual. A successful photographic exhibition could be mounted using stills from the movie. It is very much a visual presentation and almost exclusively focused on the actors although there are some well designed sets. The film is designated as a drama but it might be better described as a dance production. There is only a little of what might be termed dance in the conventional, common sense, but the movement & interaction of the very graceful & attractive actors could easily be called ballet-like. Although several of the actors apparently have little previous experience in film, their performances are excellent. The directing, which might be called choreography, was equally impressive. At one point one of the characters speaks of a movie he and some friends saw. He loved it and his friends hated it. It was, he said, an "art house" production with no dialogue and it was very long. The same could easily be said of the unfortunately titled." I Am Happiness On Earth." It is 2 hours long and there is little dialogue although there were some scenes with background narration that reminded me of the poetry of Lawrence Ferlinghetti. I can see why some people would be turned off by the pace and style. If you want a plot that progresses from A to B, fast- paced action and engaging dialogue, this is not the movie to watch. But if you can enjoy "art house" films, you really should watch this, at least once.
intriguing, slightly confusing LGBT relationships
SPOILERS *** Such low ratings, as of today. It IS based on only 400 votes so far. For sure, after watching it once, there are many unanswered questions, but this is one film I'll happily watch again (at least) to try to figure a few things out. Circles. Cameras going in circles. Dancers going in circles. Stones, built in circles. Clearly a theme there. Several love and sexual interactions... our hero Emiliano has commitment issues; would rather hire someone for an hour than commit, but by the end, he says he wants a relationship. Not sure with who, though... that part was pretty confusing. Did he go back to the hustler when Octavio forgave him but wanted to move on? Some pretty abrupt jumps to a completely different story-line. In the center, we watch one group interact, and the whole time, I wasn't sure if that was a dream, or was the dude watching them just daydreaming of where he might fit into the dynamics. Good to see guys kissing, holding hands, and more. Gay guys and lesbians get to do so much more than in the ol' days. A lot of things going on in this one -- starts out with the director Emiliano hooking up with dancer Octavio. Then in the center, we spend SO much time with the group of three-- were they the three band members? Or did they live together? Then Emiliano hires a hustler, and isn't sure where he wants THAT to go. Then he kind of wants to be in a relationship with Octavio. And in between all these various scenes, we watch and hear numerous dancers talk about life, love, fear, and not sure what else. There is SO much going on, it gets confusing. subtitles are quite good. this one is currently showing on netflix. I'll definitely want to watch this again, and would recommend it to those with the patience to watch a long film where things aren't spelled out for the viewer. Will also try to find other things done by writer/director Julián Hernández. Some fun ideas. I'd give it a higher rating than it shows today, for sure.
Bad, muy malo. Run, don't walk away from this movie
If you look up bad film in the dictionary this movie would be listed. I was looking forward to seeing this and watched it with my husband. He looked at me halfway through the movie and asked if it was a joke. Excruciatingly difficult to watch and hold your attention. If there is someone you don't like, recommend this movie and expect an angry face next time you see them.
This movie is boring
The relationships are like setting a Christmas tree on fire; hot for a moment, and then burns out fast. It's confusing to follow. The dance scenes are reminiscent of La La Land, but far less professional. They don't really fit into the general storyline, save for the character's profession. It seemed to me like a very amateur attempt at porn. The description of the movie interested me; the product itself was nothing short of a disappointment.
