If thereโs one thing the existence of plastic surgery teaches us, itโs that it hides behind the guise of improving lives through health, when in reality it often disfigures themโand more specifically, facial surgeries, which, the way I see it, destroy more faces than they enhance ๐ ๐ . The thing is, our faces are everything; out of ignorance, we wouldnโt hesitate to sacrifice our lives to be beautiful โจโจ. But on the other hand, evolution has given us the privacy of the mindโwhere we do indeed have a chimera, a multitude of faces that constantly change to adapt to the spectrum from hate to love that we wish to express โค๏ธ โค๏ธ. All of this is experienced by the steadfast protagonist of this grotesque story ๐ฑ๐ฑ
Clayface is a film that I think blends many concepts; some work well, while others fall flat because they arenโt fully developed and get lost in the protagonistโs mud-covered face๐ ๐ , but the film is certainly ambitious narratively speakingโand thatโs something I celebrate. Itโs a serious, dark film, just like the DC character and, in fact, just as the DC Universe as a whole should be ๐๐.... This is undeniable, and it was well worth the price of my movie ticket, sinceโas of this postโitโs just hit theaters ๐๐๐๐ป
Itโs interesting that so many people love the current DC universeโexcept for Supergirl; nobody can save that one ๐๐โso I hope true fans will go see it in theaters, because I donโt understand how you can support something without going to the movies ๐ค๐ค And letโs face it, Gunnโs new DC Universe really needs a financial boostโitโs already had three abysmal flops, including Clayface, which doesnโt have what it takes to serve as a solid foundation for establishing this universe, even though itโs a good horror movie ๐ ๐
Si algo nos enseรฑa la existencia de Las Cirugias Plasticas es que se escuda en la salud de mejorar vidas mientras en realidad muchas veces las desfigura, y mas en especifico las faciales que a mi modo de ver las cosas destruyen mas rostros que acomodarlos ๐ ๐ , es que nuestros rostros lo son todo, por la ignorancia no dudariamos mucho en sacrificar la vida por ser hermosos โจโจ, pero en contraparte la evolucion nos dio la privacidad de la mente, donde allรญ sรญ que tenemos una quimera, una cantidad de rostros que cambian continuamente para adaptarnos en el espectro de Odio hasta el Amor que queremos mostrar โค๏ธ โค๏ธ, todo lo anterior lo vive el solido protagonista de esta grotesca historia ๐ฑ๐ฑ
Clayface es un film que pienso Mimetiza muchos conceptos, varios le salen bien y en otros le va mal porque no los desarrolla y se ahogan en la cara de barro del protagonista๐ ๐ , pero de que el film es ambicioso narrativamente hablando pues eso sรญ que lo es lo cual celebro, film serio y oscuro como el oersonaje de DC y en sรญ como predominantemente el Universo de DC debe ser ๐๐.... esto es innegable y me pago plenamente la entrada al Cine ya que es una pelicula que al momento de publicar este post esta recien estrenado en carteleras de Cine ๐๐๐๐ป
Es notable que a muchos les encanta el DC actual excepto por SuperGirl que eso no lo salva nadie ๐๐, asรญ que verdaderos fans espero se animen a verla en Cines porque no entiendo como se puede apoyar algo sin ir al Cine ๐ค๐ค y miren que los numeros financieros de este nuevo Universo de Gunn vaya que los necesita ya que van 3 Flops abismales, incluida Clayface que no tiene lo que se necesita para ayudar como pieza solida a establecer este Universo a pesar de ser una buena pelicula de Terror ๐ ๐
I think it draws inspiration from various films, starting with Matt Reevesโ Batman, The Substance, and aesthetic flashes from Hannibal with that villain played by Gary Oldman. Thatโs why Iโm glad I liked the filmโs narrative ambitionโit has practically no forced jokes like Marvel does. Many people loved the recent Spider-Man movie, and that shows that audiences are settling for very little ๐ซค๐ซค
In the case of ClayFace, I think the film is trying to be a Joker; it strives to mimic the impact created by the movie starring Joaquin Phoenix, and although it doesnโt quite succeed ๐ ๐ , the atmosphere is there to continue exploring these storylines involving DC characters that havenโt been explored on the big screen. DC excels at this darknessโit shouldnโt be ashamed of it and should let it flourish, because its executives at Warner Bros. have been trying to make a slapstick copy of Marvel, but Marvel is already the King of Slapstick ๐ฌ๐ฌ.... Clayface drowns out all of the above in the body horror of its protagonist, Matt Hagen, played by Tom Rhys Harrisโwhose performance, aesthetic, and despair I absolutely loved ๐คฉ๐คฉ
As a concept, The Substance is much better; I didnโt feel the same sense of disgust I did when watching the Demi Moore movie with Clayface, but Iโm sure many in the general audience who are more sensitive will feel itโand theyโll love it, given that itโs Halloween ๐๐
A protagonist whose only downside worth mentioning is that heโs often brainless, haha ๐๐, but he commands the screen, evokes emotions, and instinctively dominates his surroundings just like a wild animal the moment he lets looseโand boy, did the protagonist enjoy letting loose, bringing hell with him ๐๐
The way the romance with Caitlyn Corrโs characterโplayed by Naomi Ackieโwas set up and developed didnโt quite resonate with me. I think it needed more than just chemistryโmaybe more screen timeโbut I couldnโt connect with or understand that emotional level of the film. Itโs there, but personally, I liked other aspects better, like the body horror ๐คฉ๐คฉ
Pienso se inspira en variados films, empezando por El Batman de Matt Reeves, La Sustancia y destellos esteticos de Hannibal con aquel villano de Gary Oldman, por eso celebro que me gusto la ambicion narrativa que tiene la pelicula porque practicamente no tiene chistes forzados como Marvel, a muchos les encanto la reciente pelicula de Spiderman y eso demuestra que las audiencias se estan conformando con muy poco ๐ซค๐ซค
En el caso de ClayFace pienso trata de ser un Joker, se esfuerza por mimetizar el impacto que genero el film con Joaquin Phoenix y aunque no lo logra ๐ ๐ , la atmosfera esta presente para seguir explorando estas lineas argumentales de personajes de DC no explorados en el Cine, a DC se le da excelente esta oscuridad, no se debe avergonzar y debe dejarlo nacer porque sus Ejecutivos, los de Warner, lo que han querido es hacer una copia bufonica de Marvel pero ya los de Marvel son los Reyes Bufones ๐ฌ๐ฌ.... Clayface ahoga todo lo anterior en en el Body Horror de su protagonista llamado Matt Hagen interpretado por Tom Rhys Harris que me encanto su actuacion, estetica y lamentacion ๐คฉ๐คฉ
Como concepto La Sustancia es mucho mejor, la sensacion de asco que senti al ver el film de Demi Moore no lo percibi en Clayface pero estoy seguro que muchos de la audiencia general que son mas sensibles, si que lo sentiran y les encantara por la fecha de Helloween en la que estamos ๐๐
Un protagonista cuyo unico elemento negativo a mencionar es que muchas veces es descerebrado jaja ๐๐ pero nos da presencia, emociones e instintivamente domina al entorno que le rodea tal cual un animal salvaje en el momento que se desata y vaya que el protagonista disfruto desatarse trayendo al infierno consigo mismo ๐๐
El planteamiento y desarrollo del Amor con el personaje de Caitlyn Corr interpretada por Naomi Ackie no me llego del todo, pienso hizo falta mas que quimica, tal vez mas minutos pero no logre conectar o comprender ese nivel emocional del film, sรญ esta presente pero en mi caso me gustaron mas otras cosas como el Body Horror ๐คฉ๐คฉ
Harshly negative reviews of the filmโit shows a colossal lack of effort in developing compelling supporting actors and characters. I would have preferred a thousand times more screen time devoted to the romantic emotional development between the two leads ๐ค๐ค
And the worst part is that the filmโs climax happens off-screen.... we donโt get to see it!!.... ๐ซ ๐ซ
I honestly donโt understand what happened at the end. The film is bogged down by unimportant supporting charactersโand, incidentally, the character whoโs supposed to serve as the antagonist to fully bring out the protagonistโs villainy.... We literally donโt see how we got to the resolution of that conflict ๐๐
Thatโs why I have such a strong aversion to the supporting characters in this filmโtheyโre an emotional dead weight, poorly characterized, acted, and executed, which completely squanders the protagonistโs potential ๐ซ ๐ซ
Just a note: I'm not usually that critical of special effects in movies because I'm a fan of 1960s cinema with practical effects and so on... but this movie lacks heart and care when it comes to the special effects; the transformation sequences often remind me of Mystique from the X-Men instead of Clayface.... I donโt know whatโs going on with DC and special effectsโthat didnโt happen under Snyder ๐ค๐ค
It has some negatives that Iโve already mentioned, but Iโm definitely focusing on the positives, which far outweigh them ๐๐โsince the mere fact that this isnโt Gunn trying to unsuccessfully copy his own Guardians of the Galaxy over and over again ๐๐, is in itself a huge success and a win for Clayface ๐๐๐๐ป
Criticas contundentes negativas al film, es una falta de esfuerzo colosal por dar actores y personajes secundarios de valor, fuese preferido mil veces mas minutos de desarrollo emocional romantico entre los dos protagonistas ๐ค๐ค
Y lo peor es que el momento clรญmax de la pelรญcula sucede fuera de camara.... no lo vemos!!.... ๐ซ ๐ซ
No entiendo de verdad que paso al final, el film se ahoga con personajes secundarios que no importan y de paso el personaje que debe cumplir el proposito para dar la villania plena al protagonista.... Literalmente no vemos el como llegamos al desenlace de ese conflicto ๐๐
Por eso tengo tanto rechazo con los personajes secundarios de este film, son un peso muerto emocional precisamente caracterizados, interpretados y ejecutados que desaprovecha totalmente el potencial del protagonista ๐ซ ๐ซ
Una nota, no soy tan critico de los efectos especiales en los films porque soy fan del cine de los 60 con efectos practicos etc.... pero este film le falta corazon, cariรฑo a los efectos especiales, las trancisiones de transformacion varias veces me recuerdan a Mysthic de los X Men en vez de Clayface.... No se que pasa con DC y los efectos especiales, con Snyder no sucedia eso ๐ค๐ค
Tiene cosas negativas que ya nombre pero me quedo plenamente con lo positivo que es mucho mas ๐๐, ya que solo el hecho de que este sea un film que no es Gunn intentando copiar fallidamente su propia Guardianes de La Galaxia en bucle una y otra vez ๐๐, ya solo eso es un gran Exito y acierto para Clayface ๐๐๐๐ป
I dedicate each and every one of my posts and videos to my little dog named princess, we called her chiquito, she is no longer with us but from heaven she will see that her existence was valuable and the most beautiful thing that will exist in my heart and soul.
