Movie · on I Am Mother 100
I Am Mother. _ My Honest Take.
"I Am Mother" is not the kind of movie that you will finish and immediately move on from, this one kind of lingers.

This story follows a girl, simply called Daughter, who is raised inside an underground bunker by a robot she calls Mother, From the very beginning, there is something eerie about the setup, The world outside has supposedly gone through an extinction event, and Mother's whole purpose is to raise Daughter to eventually help repopulate humanity once it is safe to go outside again, For most of Daughter's life, this bunker is the only world she knows, and Mother is the only parent she has ever had.

What got me right away was how the movie built trust between Daughter and Mother, only to slowly chip away at it, everything feels calm and controlled at first, almost too controlled, and you start to notice these small cracks, these moments where Mother's instructions feel less like care and more like control, so I found myself questioning things right alongside Daughter, which is exactly what a movie like this should do.

Then a wounded woman shows up from outside the bunker, and that is where everything shifts, suddenly Daughter, and the audience, is given a completely different version of reality than what Mother has been teaching all along, i loved this part because it forces you to sit in uncertainty, you do not know who to believe, Mother who raised her with rules and structure, or this stranger who claims the outside world is not what she has been told.

Honestly, the pacing worked really well for me here, it is a slow burn, there is no denying that, but every scene felt like it was building toward something instead of just filling time and the tension is quiet for most of the movie, it is not about jump scares or big action sequences, it is about that creeping feeling that something is deeply wrong, even when you cannot quite explain what.

Clara Rugaard did such a good job carrying this movie as Daughter, she had to portray someone who is intelligent, but also sheltered and slowly unraveling as her worldview gets challenged, and she pulled that off really well, And Mother, the robot, honestly gave one of the most unsettling performances in the movie without even having a human face, the voice alone did so much work.

So I want to be honest , this movie is not for everyone, if you need a lot of action or fast movement , yeah here you might get bored, because this movie needs you to be patient and If you wait ,then it will reward you.

The end of the movie is really surprising. I do not want to give it all away, It makes you think about everything that happened, I will say that it completely recontextualizes everything you thought you understood about Mother, about Daughter, and about what actually happened to the world outside, I sat there afterward just staring at the screen, replaying scenes in my head, trying to figure out what was real and what was manipulation all along.

Would I recommend "I Am Mother" you? Yes, especially if you like movies that makes you think, this movie is not something you watch to feel good. It makes you feel and In a good way , It stays with you even after the credits roll.

If you like psychological sci- fic , something that makes you think and characters that are complicated then you should watch "I Am Mother", It is absolutely worth your time.

Movie · on Baahubali 2: The Conclusion 95
Baahubali: The Conclusion | Part 2
I made a post about part one yesterday, putting all the cast and main characters. And what is part one without part two? That means the equation is never balanced like that. That is why I have brought the review about the second part, and I am so glad that a lot of people like this movie just like I also do.

After I finished watching part one with my friend, he didn't even allow it to settle well before he told us to continue with part two, the question still hanging in the room, "Why did Kattappa kill Baahubali?” like something that we were searching for, and we needed to get the answer to before we slept.

The part 2 of Baahubali was released two years after part one, and it also starred some people I earlier mentioned, Sathyaraj as Kattappa, the only man who has all the answers we have been waiting for. Prabhas, who came back with a double role, Anushka Shetty as Devasena and Rana Daggubati as Bhallaladeva. Again, S.S. Rajamouli directed the movie.

While touring the Kingdom, Amarendra Baahubali fell in love with Devasena, and the movie runtime this time was majorly inside Kattappa's flashback. And fallen in love with Devasena, Baahubali's cousin, Bhallaladeva was moving around with jealousy that his own father also quietly fed for years, whereby he manipulated the queen mother, Sivagami, into a promise that Devasena would be hers. This was a little thing at first, but as time went on, it went into a betrayal mode inside the palace, and at the end of the day, it forced Kattappa's hand.

I felt something different about this part two, and it totally stood out from what I saw in the first part, which was how Baahubali shifted from being a villain. This part showed how his own people betrayed him by weaponizing his own insecurities against him, and also, this time around, Baahubali's eventual cruelty finally landed much more heavily than simple evil ever could have.

Everything in this part felt a bit different from the first part, and I guess that was why it was two years apart. There was less wandering, unlike part one, where some of the scenes brought confusion; this one brought clarity and answers that were hidden from us. He finally understood his father and the story of where he was coming from, which eventually gave me what I needed that moment. A chill.

If part one showed me how this movie should be celebrated beyond the country and industry, I will tell you that after watching this second part, I now understood why some people say this is one of the greatest cinematic achievements from Bollywood. If you want to enjoy it, make sure it's on the weekend when you have the whole time to yourself and watch back to back.

Movie · on Men in Black: International 85
My review on men in black: international.
‎Hello guys, good day, all. ‎ ‎Today was an interesting day, filled with joy and happiness, I got to watch a movie and I would love to tell you all about it. Are you looking for an amazing movie? I mean one that will burst your bubbles? ‎Then this one is for you. ‎Through the advert of the movie, I was satisfied already, I got a strive to watch the full movie. ‎ img sur

‎This movie really blows my mind with it actions. It's an alien movies but also filled with technologies. Every combat is just perfect. But it has some sad moments in it that made me angry and sad, but I believe it's all to make the movie interesting. ‎ ‎This is the second movie I remembered watching that was played by Christ Hermsworthq, he played well and he also made the movie cool and funny. In the movie he was just with the funs and little actions. ‎ ‎The name of the movie is men in black: international*. ‎One of the great men in black movies I have ever seen. The movie talked about a girl who saw her parents been nutriazied because of an alien, she grew up tracking those people and aliens. Her search led her to the organization (men in black), were she begins to work for the agency to fight against dangerous aliens.

‎In the movie, Agent H was played by Christ Hermsworth. Molly(Agent M)was played by Mandeiya Flory and then by Tessa Thompson High T was played by Liam Neeson. E.T.C.

Agent M is one of my best actors, her inquisitive character makes the movie more interesting and fun. One part of the movie that made me sad was when agent H noticed his boss (High T) was possessed by an alien called the Hive.

It all happened when agent H and his boss High T went on a mission, to kill the Hive. But unfortunately High T got possesd and he neutralized agent H and told he the he killed the Hive and the world was saved by him.

img sur

The Hive is a dangerous alien, and he wanted to destroy planet earth. Getting into High T's head was one of it ways to get this evil plans accomplished.

Agent H and agent M worked together in destroying the Hive. I could see the disappointment in agent H's face, but he has to do his job and at least he end, his boss was killers together with the Hive. By a deadly weapon.

I recommend this movie to everyone who wants to watch something different and with interesting actions.

Thank you for reading.

Movie · on Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man 85
Peaky Blinders-The Immortal Man...
There's a particular kind of nostalgia that comes with revisiting a story you thought had already said its final word, and this film sits entirely inside that feeling. Peaky Blinders ended its run back in 2022 after six seasons, and it left behind that rare thing... a genuine cultural footprint, an aesthetic people still borrow from, a lead performance that helped launch Cillian Murphy toward an Oscar.

So there was always going to be a certain weight to bringing Tommy Shelby back, even in a tighter, feature-length form. And for the most part, I think it earns that return, even if it doesn't quite reach the heights of the show at its best.

The setting is 1940, Birmingham in the grip of the Blitz, seven years removed from where the series left off. Tommy has retreated into a kind of self-imposed exile, worn down by grief... the loss of his daughter, his brother Arthur's death, a lifetime of trauma stretching all the way back to the first World War... and in his absence, his estranged son Duke has taken the reins of the family's criminal empire. Duke is harder-edged than his father ever was, embroiled with a British fascist sympathizer secretly funneling counterfeit currency into the country on behalf of the Nazis, in a plot designed to collapse the British economy from within. It's Tommy's reckoning with his own legacy, framed against the much larger reckoning of a country at war, and there's something quietly moving in watching a man who spent so many years being the most dangerous person in every room now have to decide whether he still has anything left to give.

Cillian Murphy slides back into Tommy with the kind of ease that only comes from truly understanding a character down to the bone. There's more weariness in him now, more grief sitting behind the eyes, and Murphy plays that with real restraint... he doesn't need big, showy moments to communicate how much this man has been worn down by time. Barry Keoghan, stepping into the world as Duke, brings his own kind of dangerous unpredictability to the role, different in texture from Murphy's controlled stillness, and their scenes together carry a real tension... two men who share blood but not understanding. Tim Roth is quietly unsettling as the film's central antagonist, and it's genuinely satisfying to watch veteran actors like Stephen Graham and Sophie Rundle step back into this world alongside them.

Visually, this is everything you'd want from a Peaky Blinders film.... The cinematography leans into the same striking contrasts the show always did... the grim, ash-gray industrial decay of wartime Birmingham against pockets of misty green countryside and the production design carries that same lived-in, meticulously tailored world-building that made the show such a distinct visual touchstone in the first place..

The dialogue occasionally leans expository, spelling out character motivations and history a little too plainly for an audience that's presumably already invested enough to be watching a feature-length sequel in the first place. And though the Nazi-plot framing gives the story real stakes on paper, the plot machinery around it moves briskly enough that some of the emotional beats ... particularly Duke's arc — don't quite get the room to breathe that they deserve. It's the kind of film that seems less concerned with standing entirely on its own and more focused on providing a satisfying, tidy epilogue for the people who've already spent years in this world.

That said, I don't think that's necessarily a fatal flaw. Not every continuation needs to reinvent what came before it.. sometimes the goal really is just to give a beloved story a proper, dignified send-off, and on that measure, this mostly succeeds. It's well-acted and occasionally quite brutal in that specific Peaky Blinders way because it treats each characters with enough care that longtime fans are likely to walk away satisfied, even if the plotting doesn't always match the emotional weight it's reaching for.

My Final Thoughts: Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man isn't trying to be a bold reinvention... i think it is better off because it is different.. It is beautifully made and well-performed elegy for a character who spent a decade earning our complicated sympathy, closing his story with dignity even if the narrative around him occasionally feels more dutiful than daring and for those of us who spent years in Small Heath with the Shelby family, that's more than enough.

A satisfying, well-acted send-off that prioritizes closure over ambition, and mostly earns it

Movie · on From Beyond 89
Re-Sonator: The Pleasure of the Sixth Sense 👄👄, LoveCraft Review

One of the undeniable advantages of pure horror cinema is that, since it’s aimed at an adult audience—just like this review—it can draw on the “sexual element” without so many constraints that limit the imagination.... We’re human, and it’s normal for us to Love Sex 👄👄

“The Re-Sonator or From Beyond” is a film from the now-distant ’80s, and in my case, what really draws me in is the name “Re-Sonator”—more so than its other paranormal title—because I have the soul of a scientist. Seeing stories that explore science fiction but are grounded in such a scientific approach that you can believe in the credibility of the experiments underpinning the plot is a huge plus, especially for a knowledgeable audience—of which I am a part.

All of that intellectual stuff is spiced up with the fetishistic sexual intrigue of cosmic horror, and it turned out great 😬😬👍🏻

Una de las indudables ventajas que tiene el cine de Terror puro es que al estar enfocado en una audiencia adulta al igual que esta Reseña, puede apoyarse en El Pilar Sexual sin tantas cadenas que restrinjan a la imaginacion.... somos humanos y es normal que nos encante el sexo 👄👄

The Re-Sonator o From Beyond" es un film de los ya lejanos 80, en mi caso me conquista es el nombre Re-Sonator mas alla del otro titulo paranormal que tiene porque tengo alma de cientifico y ver historias que desarrollen ciencia ficcion pero apoyados en un enfoque tan cientifico que te puedes creer la credibilidad de los experimentos que dan base a la historia, es un gran plus, sobre todo para aquella audiencia que es de conocimiento en la cual me incluyo.

Todo lo anterior que es tan intelectual se adereza con el Morbo Sexual Fetichistico del Terror Cosmico y ha quedado genial 😬😬👍🏻

I’m sharing this trailer especially with those who need to see it to get excited about watching the movie, but if you’re one of those very few lovers of intellectual cinema who likes to be surprised by stories… just the title of this film, Re-Sonator, is enough to set the stage for a grand feast of sensations.

As a kid, I used to watch movies like this with my dad—I remember The Fly 😃😃—and I’m so glad about that, that my dad didn’t fall into the trap of being overly protective when it came to these kinds of productions, which, yes, do have extreme gore but can also have great narrative and intellectual depth depending on what the filmmaker wants to convey.

Its weakness is that it’s by no means a movie for the whole family 😅😅, but it is a film that serves as an appetizer for exploring what I perceived as The Sixth Sense—that sensation of the “beyond,” which has many explanations or perspectives but nothing yet to prove it, even though there are people who swear it exists 😱😱

Les comparto el Trailer sobre todo a aquellos que necesitan de ver oara poder animarse a ver pero si eres de esos muy pocos amantes de un Cine Intelectual al cual le gusta ser sorprendido por las historias.... con solo El Titulo de este film Re-Sonator tienes todo el plato servido para un gran Banquete de sensaciones.

De niño veia films asi junto a mi papa, recuerdo La Mosca 😃😃, que contento estoy de eso, de que mi papa no cayera en el extremismo de proteccion ante este tipo de producciones que si, tienen un Gore extremo pero tambien pueden tener una gran profundidad narrativa e intelectual dependiendo de lo que quiere transmitir el autor.

Su debilidad es que para mada es un film de toda la familia 😅😅 pero si que es una pelicula la cual sirve de abre boca para explorar lo que percibi como El Sexto Sentido, esa Sensacion Mas Alla que tiene muchas explicaciones o enfoques pero nada aun que lo demuestre a pesar de que hay gente la cual garantiza que existe 😱😱

Beyond that fictional machine featured in the film and Lovecraft himself, for me the best part was the sexual fetish details. With this movie, Barbara Crampton earns her rightful place in the “sexy gore” genre, haha—she’s a beauty; I fell in love with her 😍😍

She’s one of those women I see as a true all-rounder—she gave her soul, heart, and body to bring to life everything the Re-Sonator sought to convey. This role wasn’t easy for her at all; it wasn’t just about screaming hysterically—which she does very well on her own—but about everything she had to show, pushing the film to the edge of sadism.

That’s why she deserves to be featured in the trailer—as an element of sexual intrigue for that male audience with a broad taste for gore and horror, who make up the majority of viewers with that mindset. So go ahead and read my review to give this movie a chance.

As for what I’d criticize: in my opinion, the casting of the villain could have been much better. Fortunately, the focus on creatures and lines of dialogue associated with human evil enrich the bizarre frequencies of El Re-Sonator 👻👻

Mas alla de esa Maquina Ficticia que presenta el film y Lovecraft en si, en mi caso lo mejor fueron los detalles fetichistas Sexuales, Barbara Crampton con esta pelicula se gana el lugar que merece en el genero Gore Sexoso jaja, es una Belleza, quede enamorado de Ella 😍😍

Es de esas mujeres la cual percibo Todo Terreno, entrego Alma, Corazon y Cuerpo para dar vida a todo lo que queria transmitir el Re-Sonator, no estuvo para nada facil este rol para ella, no es solo Gritar de forma histerica lo cual de por si lo hace muy bien, es todo lo que requeria mostrar de ella haciendo que la pelicula rosara esa frontera sadica.

Por eso merece estar en la miniatura, como elemento de curitosidad sexual para esa audiencia varonil de amplios gustos por el genero Gore y del Terror que se son la mayoria en sus pensamientos asi, se animen a leerme para darle una oportunidad a esta pelicula.

Detalles a criticar, en mi caso El Casting del Villano pienso pudo haber sido mucho mejor, afortunadamente el enfoque de criaturas y lineas de dialogo asociadas a la maldad humana enriquecen Las Frecuencias Bizarras de El Re-Sonator 👻👻

Nota: Gracias a @wiseagent por la recomendacion de este gran film no apto para todo publico 😜😜👍🏻

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.

Movie · on Supergirl 70
(ESP-ENG) Supergirl | I expected more, but not that much... - Review!
Hello friends, good vibes to all.

Hola amigos, buenas vibras para todos.

Source!

I know the title of this review might seem confusing, but it's the absolute truth. It's a film I expected a bit more from, especially after seeing a decent Superman movie, but for some reason, I already knew it wasn't going to be like that, that it would be talked about, but not in a positive way. And this is a shame because I personally liked this film. It's not the best DC has done, but it's quite decent compared to what they were doing, especially before James Gunn came along. Another thing I don't understand is the hatred for Millie Alcock. I don't know where it comes from or the reason for it because she does an acceptable job here, or at least what was expected.

Se que el titulo de esta reseña puede parecer confuso pero es la realidad absoluta. Es una película de la esperaba un poco más, sobretodo después de haber visto una decente película de Superman, pero por alguna razón ya uno sabía que no iba a ser así, que se iba a hablar de ella pero no de la mejor manera. Y esto es una lastima porque personalmente este film me gustó, no es lo mejor que ha hecho DC pero es bastante decente a lo que venía haciendo, sobretodo antes de la llegada de Jamen Gunn. Otra de las cosas que no entiendo es el odio a Milly Alcock, no se de donde viene ni la razón porque acá hace un trabajo aceptable o por lo menos lo esperado.

It's striking that it's already available digitally just a month after its theatrical release; this is never a good sign. The film is known to have lost money at the box office, hence the decision not to let that wound fester any longer and to release it digitally quickly. Anyway. This time, we have Kara, Superman's cousin, celebrating her birthday in space, specifically where there's a red sun so she can really enjoy the effects of alcohol. At 21, she's cynical and rude, but she has a good heart, and it's precisely that heart that gets her into trouble. The root of it all is that while defending a strange girl, her dog Krypto is seriously injured, so she plots to find a cure to save him.

Llama la atención que apenas un mes después de su estreno en cine ya esté en digital, esto nunca es bueno. La película se sabe que tuvo pérdidas en taquilla de ahí la decisión de no seguir dejando "sangrar" más esa herida y lanzarla rápido a lo digital. Pero bueno. En esta oportunidad tenemos a Kara, la prima de Superman, celebrando su cumpleaños en el espacio, específicamente donde hay sol rojo para así poder sentir el alcohol con ganas. Ella, de 21 años, es cínica y grosera pero de buen corazón y es precisamente ese corazón lo que hace que se meta en problemas. La raíz de todo es que por estar defendiendo a una niña desconocida hieren a su perro Krypto de gravedad por lo que trama será buscar la cura para poder salvarlo.

She fights a gang of kidnappers who are hunting women to prevent their race from disappearing. The backstory is easy to understand. The thing is, from then on, Kara is paired with this girl, Ruthye, who is also seeking revenge, and together they embark on a hunt to find Krem, the leader of this group. On one hand, using Krypto as the victim is interesting; we know how much empathy people have for dogs, so the reason for everything is more than justified, or at least that's what I think the screenwriters intended. Personally, at times I felt like I was watching something very adolescent, something very naive; I expected everything to be more adult, a little grittier. This doesn't mean it's a bad movie, but I feel like it wasn't really for me.

Se pelea con una banda de secuestradores que buscan mujeres para que su raza no se desaparezca. Es fácil entender el trasfondo. La cosa es que a partir de ahí Kara le tocará estar con esta niña, Ruthye, quien también busca venganza, y entre las dos emprenderán una cacería para dar con Krem, el líder de este grupo. Por un lado que hayan usado a Krypto como la victima es interesante, se sabe la empatía que hay hacía los perros por lo que la razón de todo está más que justificada o por lo menos eso creo que es lo que esperaban los guionistas. Particularmente a veces sentía que estaba viendo algo muy de adolescente, algo muy ingenuo; esperaba que todo fuese más adulto, un poco más crudo. Esto no quiere decir que sea una mala película pero siento que no era tanto para mi.

What I did like was the whole story they told about the last days of the planet Krypto and how she survived with her parents after the explosion. Giving context to a character who hadn't been explored much before is important because, yes, she had appeared a lot in various Superman and DC universe projects, but the story itself was completely different. The movie itself isn't tiring; it's just over an hour and a half long and has good action scenes, very cool visuals, and is entertaining. The story is basic, but it works because it's a simple way to introduce the character to what will be the new DC universe.

Lo que si me gustó es toda la historia que contaron sobre los últimos días del planeta Krypto y como ella sobrevivió con sus padres después de la explosión. Darle contexto al personaje del que no se había dicho mucho antes es importante porque si, había aparecido mucho en diversas cosas de Superman y del universo de DC pero la historia como tal, nada que ver. La película en si no cansa, dura poco más de hora y media y tiene buenas escenas de acción, tiene unas visuales muy cool, es entretenida, la historia es básica pero está bien porque es una forma simple de presentar el personaje a lo que será el nuevo universo de DC.

One character I haven't mentioned is Lobo, played by Jason Momoa. It's his first time appearing in this cinematic universe, so the addition of a new face is welcome. He's very much a Momoa character, even down to his personality, and I think he adds a bit more depth to the plot and visual flair to some of the scenes he's in. As I said, Milly does a decent job, nothing extraordinary, but enough to get the job done. I have to say, I didn't like the villain; he was very cartoonish and full of clichés. I feel like sometimes they don't take the development of these characters seriously when they should be just as important as the good parts of the story. And as for Ruthye, well, she's another interesting and sometimes annoying addition, but she holds the plot together because without her, nothing would happen. We have to remember that this universe is starting from scratch with James Gunn at the helm, so we'll have to be a little patient to see where it all goes. Do I recommend it? - Yes, it's a cool, short, and easy-to-watch and understand film. I'll leave the trailer down here.

Un personaje del que no hablé fue el de Lobo a cargo de Jason Momoa. Es primera vez que lo vemos en este universo cinematográfico por lo que se agradece la adición de una nueva cara. Es un personaje muy Momoa incluso hasta en personalidad, creo que la da un poco más de profundidad a la trama y vistosidad a algunas escenas en las que él es protagonista. Como ya dije Milly hace un trabajo normal, nada extraordinario pero suficiente para aprobar con la tarea. El villano si tengo que decir que no me gustó, muy caricaturesco y lleno de clichés. Siento que a veces no se toman en serio la construcción de estos personajes cuando deberían de ser igual de importantes que la parte buena de la historia. Y en cuanto a Ruthye pues bien, es otro complemento interesante y fastidioso a veces pero que sostiene la trama porque sin ella no pasaría nada de la historia. Hay que recordar que esta universo está empezando de cero de la mano de James Gunn por lo que habría que tener un poco de paciencia para ver a donde va todo. La recomiendo? - si, es un film cool, corto y fácil de ver y entender. Les dejo el tráiler por acá abajo.

Well folks, that's all for today. I hope you enjoyed it. ¡Hugs to everyone, see you next time!

Bueno mi gente por hoy es todo, espero que les haya gustado. ¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!

Movie · on Backrooms 75
Backrooms
I found a place

_Source
_{Edited in Photoshop & Canva App}

I saw this movie that's become a huge box office hit and everyone's talking about it. I have to say, this movie is a product of the current generation because it was directed by a 21-year-old named Kane Parsons, who has fulfilled a dream many people have. Going from YouTube to Hollywood with this success has been a huge achievement for him. Many other YouTubers must dream of this too. I started researching how much it cost to produce the movie and found online that it cost $10 million, but the box office gross... Oh my God! At the time of writing, according to the websites I consulted, the box office gross is around $400 million. It's incredible!

Well, the new star director will surely receive tons of job offers, and it's possible they'll also make a sequel to this movie. I'm not sure, because I haven't checked that information, but when a horror movie makes that much money, it's almost certain that the producers will rub their hands together and decide to annoy us all by releasing a bunch of sequels. So we have to enjoy it while the plot is good, because they'll surely ruin it later. That's Hollywood, and that's the world; we all want that money.

What can I say about this movie? Did I like it? Yes. Is all the hype justified? Well, not really. I'm venturing into murky waters with an unpopular opinion. I like to give my positive opinion when I like something, and when something is bad, I say so too. I don't follow trends, and no Hollywood studio pays me for positive reviews, since I'm not a film influencer. That's how those big film critics are, the ones with a guaranteed salary for speaking well of a movie.

Backrooms manages to unsettle me by immersing me in those settings, in that place the protagonist finds within the company where he works. A place that seems to have many nooks and crannies, with a predominantly yellow and minimalist atmosphere. A kind of infinite labyrinth that expands without making it clear how or where certain very particular creatures live.

I'm sure many people, after seeing the film, were left searching for some explanation for what they saw, but there's no clear answer—the film never provides one—about what that place is. The filmmaker surely has their own vision of what it is and represents, and at the same time, each viewer can form their own idea. For me, it's like a kind of parallel dimension that feeds on the fears of those who manage to enter it. Each new floor, level, environment is like a recreation of what lies in our minds, the most hidden parts, and what can frighten us the most. That's my opinion; I'm sure yours is different.

Current horror cinema, as I mentioned in a recent post about another film in the genre, seems to focus more on creating disturbing atmospheres, which is fine, but those images should also be accompanied by a solid story. There are many films like that, which combine a good, coherent story with atmospheres that impact the viewer. I recently saw another film, from last year, that meets both requirements. I'll talk about it another day.

That's my problem with Backrooms. I liked the film, but at the same time, I felt that the impression it leaves is based solely on its visuals; what truly constitutes a well-constructed and interesting story simply isn't there. It's more of a succession of levels within that world, whose images, of course, fascinated me and raise questions, but it lacks something more substantial. That's why I say it's a product of this generation, where the ephemeral impact of images is everything.

It's curious that they chose two actors acclaimed and awarded for other work. Chiwetel Ejiofor is quite well-known and fulfills his role as Clark; his performance isn't anything extraordinary, but he's a Hollywood star. Renate Reinshee is less well-known, but she has received praise for other work; I liked her character, especially when she enters that unknown dimension.

I recommend it; now it's up to you to decide if you consider it a masterpiece of horror this year or a disappointment. Share your opinion in the comments.

Vi esta película que se ha convertido en un gran éxito de taquilla y de la que todo el mundo habla. Debo decir que esta película es un producto de la generación actual, porque fue dirigida por un joven de 21 años llamado Kane Parsons, quien ha cumplido el sueño de muchos. Pasar de YouTube a Hollywood con este éxito ha sido un gran logro para él. Muchos otros YouTubers también deben soñar con esto. Empecé a investigar cuánto costó producir la película y en internet encontré que costó 10 millones de dólares, pero la recaudación en taquilla... ¡Dios mío! Al momento de escribir esto, según las páginas que consulté, la recaudación en taquilla ronda los 400 millones de dólares. ¡Es increíble!

Bueno, el nuevo director estrella seguramente recibirá muchísimas ofertas de trabajo y es posible que también hagan una secuela de esta película. No estoy seguro, porque no he consultado esa información, pero cuando una película de terror recauda tanto dinero, es casi seguro que los productores se frotarán las manos y decidirán fastidiarnos a todos lanzando un montón de secuelas. Así que tenemos que disfrutarla mientras la trama sea buena, porque seguramente la arruinarán en el futuro. Así es Hollywood, y así es el mundo; todos queremos ese dinero.

¿Qué puedo decir de esta película? ¿Me gustó? Sí. ¿Está justificado todo el revuelo que ha causado? Bueno, en realidad no. Me estoy adentrando en terreno turbio con una opinión impopular. Me gusta dar mi opinión positiva cuando algo me gusta, y cuando algo es malo, también lo digo. No sigo las modas, y ningún estudio de Hollywood me paga por dar opiniones positivas, ya que no soy un influencer de cine. Así son esos grandes críticos de cine, los que tienen un sueldo garantizado por hablar bien de una película.

Backrooms logra inquietarme al sumergirme en esos escenarios, en ese lugar que el protagonista encuentra dentro de la empresa donde trabaja. Un lugar que parece tener muchos rincones y recovecos, con una atmósfera predominantemente amarilla y minimalista. Una especie de laberinto infinito que se expande sin dejar claro cómo ni dónde habitan ciertas criaturas muy particulares.

Estoy seguro de que muchos, tras ver la película, se quedaron buscando alguna explicación a lo que vieron, pero no hay una respuesta clara, la película nunca la da, sobre qué es ese lugar. El cineasta seguramente tiene su propia visión de lo que es y representa, y al mismo tiempo, cada espectador puede formarse su propia idea. Para mí, es como una especie de dimensión paralela que se alimenta de los miedos de quienes logran entrar en ella. Cada nuevo piso, nivel, entorno es como una recreación de lo que yace en nuestra mente, lo más oculto, y lo que puede causarnos más miedo. Esa es mi opinión; seguro que la tuya es diferente.

El cine de terror actual, como mencioné en una entrada reciente sobre otra película del género, parece centrarse más en crear atmósferas perturbadoras, lo cual está bien, pero esas imágenes también deberían ir acompañadas de una historia sólida. Hay muchas películas así, que combinan una buena historia coherente con atmósferas que impactan al espectador. Hace poco vi otra película, del año pasado, que cumple con ambos requisitos. Hablaré de ella otro día.

Ese es mi problema con Backrooms. Me gustó la película, pero al mismo tiempo sentí que la impresión que nos deja se basa únicamente en sus imágenes; lo que realmente constituye una historia bien construida e interesante, simplemente no existe. Es más bien una sucesión de niveles dentro de ese mundo, cuyas imágenes, por supuesto, me fascinaron y plantean interrogantes, pero le falta algo más sustancial. Por eso digo que es un producto de esta generación, donde el impacto efímero de las imágenes lo es todo.

Resulta curioso que hayan elegido a dos actores aclamados y premiados por otros trabajos. Chiwetel Ejiofor es bastante conocido y cumple con su papel como Clark; su actuación no es nada del otro mundo, pero es una estrella de Hollywood. Renate Reinseve es menos conocida, pero ha recibido elogios por otros trabajos; me gustó su personaje, sobre todo cuando entra en esa dimensión desconocida.

La recomiendo; ahora les toca a ustedes decidir si la consideran una obra maestra del terror de este año o una decepción. Compartan su opinión en los comentarios.

Movie · on Annie 95
A Blend of Comedy, Music and Heart: "Annie" Review
This movie have several adaptations but three stood out and the one directed by Will Gluck, starring Quvenzhané Wallis and Jamie Foxx releases in 2014 has got to be my favourite which is the one I'm reviewing today. Maybe I'm bias because honestly, I haven't seen the other adaptations. This one just feels perfect and okay!

It was released in 2014 and I don't know how I totally forgot I've seen the movie years ago in my teens until I downloaded last week to see it and a lot of scenes, memories and especially the songs starts coming back to me. I could almost sing along in the songs especially the first one. A clip I watched brought this movie back to me again.

Annie is a coming-of-age, musical and family drama with lots of comedy that explores the life of a little girl, Annie who grew up in a foster home under a mean foster mother. Her life changes when a business tycoon and mayoral candidate, Will Stacks makes a campaign move that required her staying with him for sometime.

The two begin to bond as she helps him grow not just in his political race but in his emotional life, he begins to see the world with more love and have growing concern for Annie. Her real (fake) parents came along the line but the plan failed and that made the two bond even deeper and decides to live as family forever with a new mum.

Annie's role in the story is so beautiful and lovable in every sense. How she speaks, her voice in singing and her calm looks got me loving her all through the story. I like how positive she remained even when she found the parents pretending to be real. Her role taught me positivity in every sense, how beautifully she welcomed the opportunities she got so randomly.

Will Stacks is also a character I had so much attention on through the story, his transformation in the story is one I'll say was well scripted. He went from hating kids, common or poor men and feeling comfortable not having any family to loving kids especially Annie and appreciating the joy in having a family, proposing to his assistant.

Other characters like Will Stacks' assistant, one called "Guy", the mean foster mother who turned good, the guy who loves the foster mother and the other kids at the foster home all played their roles beautifully to make the story nice to watch.

My best parts of the movie are the scenes with the musicals. If you love good music being sang in a story, you'll enjoy this movie. I've seen this movie for more than 5 times and all the other 4 times were just focused on the musicals. I especially love the song "The sun will come out tomorrow", "My big opportunity" and the song in the final scene. They had the best inspiring lyrics.

Maybe I'll find time to see the other adaptation but I could already concluded this would still be my favourite so maybe I won't see them anyways. The point is clear, this is a good movie and I'll highly recommend with a rating of 9.5/10 if you're in for a good family movie to see with your family that inspires love and bonding in hearts.

TV · on Mindhunter 90
Mindhunter is Peak

Bill Tench: "How do we get ahead of crazy, if we don't know how crazy thinks?

There was a time when I was not a big fan of this genre i.e. detectives in search of murderer and all kind of stuff. And of course, there are many crime shows where the killer is introduced as a monster. He has tattoos all over his body, some piercing and stuff. He looks frightening, behaves as a delinquent and enjoy trouble - mostly murders. Then, there is Mindhunter and its uncomfortable story. And the best or ugliest part is: it is based on true events, even the dialogues.

Source

Now back to the quote, I started with. Of course, in order to understand the crazy, we have to think the way they think. And here is how crazy thinks: "Women are born with this little hole between their legs which every man on earth just wants to stick something into. And they're weaker than men, so they learn strategies. They deploy their minds and their sex, and they intuitively learn to humiliate." - Ed.

Source

By far, we have understood the fact that the series is not about chcasing killers. It is about understanding them, and the complex nature of human beings. This was the series which made me fall in love with this genre.

Although, I do not remember everything about the show, because I watched it like back in Novermber of 2025. But I can assure you; every character nailed his or her part, Especially Edmund (played by Cameron Britton), the guy who killed his own mother, mutilated her body, and sexually exploited her body parts - even her severed head.

Investigations

In the beginning, even the normal investigations felt like some sort of horrific scene. This serial killer Ed is a big guy, the detectives were mere toy to him, if it comes to physical strength. How are they conducting interviews? They literally make the killer sit across a table, who speaks calmly, even cracks jokes and explain crimes as he is talking about an oridinary day.

And believe me, this thing is more disturbing.

Why? Because, we all are normal in our every day life. And, on this behavioral basis, we will never be able to judge someone even after the whole research.

The Series

There are two FBI agents: Bill and Ford. The series follows these two characters as they attempt to understand the psychology behind their acts, under Behavioral Science Unit. These kind of things were new at that time, so you can understand the things they had to go through.

Moving forward, most of the time, they are travelling across the countries and interviewing not-so-normal killers. I will be lying, if I say that it is good from the start. Because at first, it feels so slow. There are long conversations, then there are awkward silences, even scenes where people are just sitting in a room.

Major question was: what creates a killer? Is a person born with the instincts, shaped by childhood or damaged by society?

Realistic enough, there are no clear answers, and that is the strength of this show.

Holden Ford

He is more like a protagonist of the show. Personally, I am already biased for him. The way he thinks about things; the way he is never holding back. Like there are scenes, when he is with his girl friend, still he is discussing and thinking about the cases. Anyways that girl dumped him. And man, that scene has its own fan base. Moreover, with the passage of time, he also becomes arrogant - more like a narcissist. His confidence is both his strength and his weakness.

Bill Tench

On the other hand, this guy is reserved and witty with his dialogues. He understands human behavior way better than Holden does. But, this is why their partnership works. Because they represent two different ways of looking at people. Holden wants answers for everything; while Bill knows that some questions may remain unanswered. And remember, Bill also has a family to look after, so this guy has to balance between work and family life.

Human Behavior

Once again, it is not a supernatural monster, we are dealing with. They are people with henious thinking, absurd egos, a strange desire for control and the ability to justify their act. Even when asked: Ed claims that there are 35 more like him in just North America. Imagine a man, sitting across the table - who has done such horrific things - cracking jokes and acting like nothing strange has happened. This makes the whole scenario unnatural and unsettling.

Conclusion

In the end, Mindhunter was never about chasing killers or solving crime scenes. It is all about understanding the reason behind their doing. And how that understanding will be helpful in stopping the crime in the futre. And of course, I have skipped so many characters worth mentioning. So you better watch the show.

However, there is one important thing you all need to know: the series is a never ending expeirence. After two masterclass seasons, Mindhunter was never renewd. Netflix always enjoys doing this kind of stuff with such incredible seasons. They said it was costly and no enough recognition. Still, despite this disappointment, the journey is absolutely worth it.

Cancelling this show is the one of the biggest sin, they have done :)

Lucky (2026): Too Close to See It - S01E04 - RECAP
Source

Episode 4 has been the best one so far because it finally makes Cary easier to understand, a guy who at first the series paint as greedy but his motives where bigger, he knows he screw up but he is right about there was no turning point. Cary says Priscilla pushed him into taking the ten million dollars by making it sound like Lucky was next if he refused and he believed running the deal himself was the only way to keep her alive. At first I get why he did it, considering before all this he and Lucky were living this regular 9 to 5 life, no luxury, just them invole working couple but along the line something must have scare the shit out of him to accept and get the money for his mother and Wayne, yes Lucky ratting them out had to do with it too. A the time the best thing he came up with was to drugg her, left her alone and made the call on her whole life without asking her once, pretty stupid, he never trusted her with the truth, but he still wanted her to believe it all came from love. Lucky is right to say that is not how trust works as his reason explains the betrayal, it does not erase it and that is why the reunion works better than some quick sorry before they run off together. Lucky wants the money and she wants answers, but she still cannot decide if anything out of his mouth is worth believing. The episode never picks a side on that which is why his final moments actually felt sad instead of redemptive, they never had the time to decide or pick things back up.

Lucky has to sit with the fact that Cary was not the only one keeping something huge from this marriage. I like that the episode does not let her stand above him like she is the only one who got betrayed here. The flashback shows she cut a deal with Billie Rand to help take Priscilla down, she only agreed after demanding full immunity for John and Cary, but Rand arrested John anyway once he decided the guy was too involved to protect. That explains why Lucky feels used and why she keeps running back to her father now and it also means Cary spent years never knowing his own wife helped the FBI build the case against his mother, and once he gets the knews he could even probably think Lucky rat them out for the money and nothing else. Both of them made choices that changed the other persons entire life and then stayed quiet because the truth would force them to face the damage that they had no explanation for, thats the result of not thinking about the consequences if something went wrong before action, which is what makes their anger at each other feel some what reasonable and none of the them is right, makes you think if Cary drugging her and abandoning her in real danger is still worse than her keeping quiet about Rand, but it explains why he believed Priscilla so easily when she said Lucky had turned on the family. Their marriage had real love in it but also secrets that kept getting more dangerous every time one of them decided silence as protection and they only start talking straight once there is almost no time left and way more damage has been made, specially the trust they had each other.

When Cary decides not to hand Priscilla the money is the first part of his story that actually convinced me he was done obeying her, even though it comes too late to save the marriage, but then again just beacuse he said it doesnt mean its real, that is what Lucky would think at some point. He shows up planning to give her the cash, sees her laughing with Dutch like nothing is wrong and realizes he destroyed his entire life while she just kept going like always, and what matters is Cary finally seeing how much her fear and pressure have run every decision he has made for years. So he keeps the money, turns it into crypto, goes back for Lucky and later sits under a fake name assuming she will somehow track him down, by the way the crypto story is just plain stupid but lets not get into that part. Those choices prove he wanted Lucky over Priscilla but they also prove he still thought he could fix this by himself without actually talking to her, he never sends her a real explanation, he just hides and waits, which is still him controlling the situation, he is just calling it love this time instead of protection. That is probably why Lucky stays angry even once his story starts making sense because yes she finds him, but only after surviving Priscilla, Dutch, the FBI and her own father all pulling her toward the money first. Consequences, his entire plan was stupid and it shows when it back fires, bechase when he realize how stupid it was him showing up at the casino does not erase any of what he started, it proves he regretted leaving her, not that leaving her was the right call.

The long escape is fun to watch because they had chase after chase, on wheels, on foot, blending in, it felt like the episode knew how to put the foot down when it was needed and inject more action into it and it didnt feel like Lucky got out because it was convinient, in fact this time she lost someone. The FBI has the beach house surrounded, cars and a helicopter and everything, and Cary and Lucky still slip out through the garage, ditch the Bronco under an overpass and grab another car while cops are still combing the block, yeah all that convinient as the previous episodes. Lucky being sharper behind the wheel than everyone chasing her works for a while but got so slipery that made the cops look like ideots although got to give it to Lucky, she was very smart about her moves and knew how to improvise. Then again all this chase at the end felt like it took too much out of the drama of Lucky and Cary figuring out whats their next move was going to be, at some point I really thought they were going to make it. Their talk during the chase still matters because a few shots were fire between them like Cary calling out her loyalty to John and Lucky has to face how fast she still jumps to follow her fathers orders even after Rand blew up the deal that was supposed to protect him. That connects right back to Carys own problem with Priscilla, and both of them keep circling back to a parent who uses love and guilt to keep control, except Cary actually cuts Priscilla off once obeying her costs him too much, while Lucky is still out there chasing money for John. I am not sure she even realizes she is repeating the exact mistake she is angry at Cary for making, this things you only realize once the episode is over and the episode does not need a speech to make that point either, Carys one simple question about why she drops everything the second John calls says it better than anything else during the episode.

Carys death work so well for the episode because not only helps Lucky to escape but also cuts off that streak of luck she had so far where she get away with everything she wanted, there also that they never had the chance to settle things down and this is something I have been wanting from the series until now, some chaos that Lucky couldnt control. When the police close in he starts firing at their vehicles while she drives, and the police returns fire, he manage to hit their tire and the inmediate response I had was like ok here they got away but then their tire got shot too and thats when they crash, and it works great because its not a clean heroic turn, shooting at police makes everything worse and puts more people in danger. Cary finally stopped trying to ship control where or what is Lucky next move, he decides to take the risk with her right there and gives her a shot to get away even though it was pure luck too that he was the only one hurt, lets give this one to the show name, Lucky. There is the final moments where she tells him loving him was not a mistake, but that does not mean everything he did was right either, it just means the love was real even while the trust was wrecked, love is irrational. They never got the time to figure out what their marriage could have become once the truth was finally out and both explain why they did, both actions without measuring the consequences. She can understand why Cary took the money and still hate that he drugged her. Priscilla arriving just in time felt really good, just in time to see her son after the crash gives his death some extra weight because at first the one that gets hits the most is Priscilla who put him at risk at expenses of her actions, since Cary dies after finally refusing to let his mother run his life and Priscilla is left looking at exactly what her control and actions did, thats the moment when it just blow up in her face. The ending is good because there are a lot of questions open, what happen with the money? how bad is Lucky hurt? will she trust John again?, its all sad because at the end Lucky loses him right as they finally stop lying to each other.

21 Jump Street (2012) - Prime Video

Prime Video

Recently, I realized through Facebook that a new film in the famous "Jump Street" franchise, known as "Comando Especial" in Latin America, has just been announced. The duo of undercover agents and best friends became incredibly popular back in the day, creating one of the best movie duos of the 2010s, a time when comedy was everywhere and it seemed like any film in this format was destined for success. So today I want to tell you about this duo of films, which might inspire you to revisit them or help us get up to speed for the third installment of this wonderful franchise.

Recientemente, me di cuenta a través de Facebook de que se acaba de anunciar, por fortuna, una nueva película de la famosa franquicia "Jump Street" o "Comando Especial" en Latinoamérica. El dúo de agentes infiltrados y mejores amigos que se volvieron superfamosos en su momento, trayendo uno de los mejores dúos de películas por allá en la década del 2010, cuando veíamos muchísima comedia en el cine y donde parecía que cualquier película con este formato prometía éxito. Por eso hoy te quiero contar sobre este dúo de películas que quizás te motiven a verlas de nuevo o para que nos vayamos poniendo al día para la tercera entrega de esta maravillosa franquicia.

IMDB

This film follows the lives of Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum), a pair of misfits who, amidst a series of failures, decide to join the police force, discovering that they complement each other perfectly. Knowing they make an incredible duo, they decide to stick together, supporting each other through thick and thin, while working as undercover cops. In the first film, they use their youthful appearances to infiltrate a high school and investigate a smuggling ring operating within it. While posing as students, they deliver some of their best scenes and a deeply palpable friendship.

Esta película sigue la vida de Schmidt (Jonah Hill) y Jenko (Channing Tatum), un par de inadaptados que, entre fracasos, deciden enlistarse en la policía, descubriendo que uno completa al otro. Como ellos saben que hacen un increíble dúo, deciden estar juntos apoyándose en todo, mientras trabajan como policías encubiertos. En la primera película, estas sus apariencias juveniles para infiltrarse en una preparatoria y así seguir una red de contrabando que hay en una secundaria. Mientras se hacen pasar por estudiantes, estos nos regalan de sus mejores escenas y una amistad altamente palpable.

IMDB

The second film sees the duo return with a new mission. Struggling with existential issues and doubts, they infiltrate another institution, this time a university, investigating a new drug case. While the technique remains somewhat similar, the environment differs. Although it's an educational setting, it's populated by a different kind of people, and they realize it's a more challenging environment. This film shows how their relationship has become routine, driving them apart, but, through a beautifully crafted storyline, they manage to maintain the unique friendship that defines them.

La segunda película vuelve a mostrarnos al dúo con una nueva misión. Estos, con algunos problemas existenciales y con algunas dudas, ahora vuelven a infiltrarse, pero ahora en una universidad por un nuevo caso de drogas. Lo que sigue un poco la técnica, pero se diferencia en el entorno, que, si bien es un sitio educativo, hay otro tipo de personas allí y notan que de verdad es un entorno un poco más difícil. Esta película nos muestra cómo su relación se ha vuelto rutinaria y eso los está separando, pero, obviamente, con un hermoso desarrollo de la historia, nos muestran cómo estos aún siguen adelante con aquella amistad única que los caracteriza.

Indiewire

I don't know if I'm the only one, but I've watched this movie so many times, like it's a cult classic. Back then, we didn't have internet at home to watch things, and going to the movies seemed limited. We had the CDs with these films, and watching them was never boring or repetitive. In fact, about a month or two ago, I watched the second movie again, and that's when I realized how much you forget, especially such epic scenes as those in these films. My favorite of all is when the truck exploded—such an absurd moment that it became a unique memory from the first time I saw it.

Yo no sé si seré la única, pero he repetido muchas veces esta película, como si fuera de culto. Anteriormente, recuerdo que en casa no había internet para ver cosas e ir al cine parecía algo limitado, y recuerdo que teníamos los CDs con estas películas y verlas jamás fue aburrido, ni se sintió repetitivo. De hecho, hace como uno o dos meses, vi la segunda película de nuevo, y así me di cuenta de que uno olvida muchas cosas, en especial escenas tan épicas como las que estas películas tienen. Mi favorita de todas es cuando el camión explotó, un momento tan absurdo que se volvió un recuerdo único desde la primera vez que la vi.

IMDB

It doesn't matter that almost 15 years have passed; I consider the return of this pair epic. It will be a true pleasure to see them back on the big screen, so I'm extremely eager for them to return and surprise us again with their antics and epic performances that stay with us forever. Obviously, I hope Ice Cube returns, as it's important that he's in this film; otherwise, with high expectations, I hope they surprise us once again.

No importa que ya hayan pasado casi 15 años; el regreso de este par lo considero épico. Será un verdadero placer verlos de vuelta en la pantalla grande, por lo que espero sumamente ansiosa que lleguen de nuevo para sorprendernos con sus ocurrencias y actuaciones épicas que se quedan en nuestros recuerdos. Obviamente, espero que regrese Ice Cube, ya que es importante que su presencia vuelva en esta película; de resto, con muchas expectativas, espero que nos vuelvan a sorprender.

IMBD

These movies are available on Prime Video here in Colombia, but availability may vary in your country. I hope this encourages you to rewatch these films and catch up with the best duo in contemporary comedy.

Estas películas están disponibles en Prime Video aquí en Colombia, pero en tu país podría variar. Espero esto te anime a volver a ver estas películas y ponerte al día con el mejor dúo de la comedia contemporánea.

Movie · on Sweet November 80
A veces, noviembre sabe dulce. [Esp]/[Eng]
Imagen tomada de IMDB

Hay películas que se te quedan pegadas al cuerpo no por lo que cuentan, sino por lo que remueven sin pedir permiso. Llegué a Dulce Noviembre sin más referencias que un par de fotogramas en una revista vieja. La vi en el cine, de esas veces que entras con el ánimo ligero y sales con el pecho lleno de preguntas. Charlize Theron y Keanu Reeves, bajo la dirección de Pat O’Connor, me regalaron un drama que no necesita golpes bajos para hablarte de frente sobre la vida.

Fotograma tomado de IMDB

Lo que más me impresionó, y lo digo sin exagerar, fue ese deseo furioso de vivir cuando la muerte ya ha firmado su contrato. Sara, el personaje de Theron, no se presenta como una víctima. El guión evita el melodrama fácil y construye a una mujer que decide hacer de sus últimos meses un acto de amor propio y generosidad. Ella toma las riendas, elige a quién ayudar y cómo exprimir cada amanecer. Y ahí es donde la historia golpea sin hacer ruido: no es un adiós triste, es una celebración consciente de lo efímero.

Fotograma tomado de IMDB

La ambientación en San Francisco envuelve la trama con esa luz neblinosa y esos barrios que parecen detenidos en otoño. La fotografía acompaña la intimidad de los personajes sin estridencias, dejando que los silencios hablen más que los diálogos. Reeves interpreta a un publicista adicto al trabajo, un hombre de corbata y prisas, que se topa con Sara y su propuesta absurda: vivir juntos un mes, sin ataduras, para que él aprenda a saborear lo que ha estado ignorando. La química entre ambos es creíble, sostenida más en miradas y gestos contenidos que en grandes declaraciones.

Fotograma tomado de IMDB

¿Qué me dejó? Esa certeza extraña de que a veces las personas más llenas de vida son las que tienen los días contados. No hubo quejas. Salí del cine impresionado, con un nudo cálido en la garganta y unas ganas inmensas de abrazar a los míos, de mirar el cielo sin prisa, de agradecer el simple hecho de respirar. Le doy un 8 sobre 10, porque no busca la perfección técnica, sino que alcanza algo más difícil: instalarse en la memoria con la suavidad de un soplo.

Sometimes, November tastes sweet

There are movies that stick with you not because of what they tell you, but because of what they stir up without asking permission. I came to *Sweet November* with nothing more than a couple of stills from an old magazine to go on. I saw it in the theater—one of those times when you walk in feeling lighthearted and walk out with your mind full of questions. Charlize Theron and Keanu Reeves, under the direction of Pat O’Connor, gave me a drama that doesn’t need cheap tricks to speak to you head-on about life.

Still image taken from IMDb

What impressed me most—and I say this without exaggeration—was that fierce desire to live when death has already signed her contract. Sara, Theron’s character, isn’t portrayed as a victim. The screenplay avoids easy melodrama and portrays a woman who decides to turn her final months into an act of self-love and generosity. She takes the reins, chooses whom to help, and decides how to make the most of every dawn. And that’s where the story strikes silently: it’s not a sad farewell, but a conscious celebration of the fleeting nature of life.

Still image taken from IMDb

The San Francisco setting envelops the plot in that misty light and those neighborhoods that seem frozen in autumn. The cinematography subtly captures the characters’ intimacy, letting the silences speak louder than the dialogue. Reeves plays a workaholic advertising executive—a man in a suit and tie who’s always in a hurry—who stumbles upon Sara and her absurd proposal: to live together for a month, with no strings attached, so he can learn to savor what he’s been overlooking. The chemistry between them is believable, sustained more by subtle glances and gestures than by grand declarations.

Still image taken from IMDb

What did it leave me with? That strange certainty that sometimes the people most full of life are the ones whose days are numbered. There were no complaints. I left the theater deeply moved, with a warm lump in my throat and an overwhelming urge to hug my loved ones, to gaze at the sky without rushing, to be grateful for the simple act of breathing. I give it an 8 out of 10, because it doesn’t strive for technical perfection, but rather achieves something more difficult: settling into one’s memory with the gentleness of a breath.

Still image taken from IMDb

Appreciate the little things that might go unnoticed—because later… they’ll be gone.
