It is an essential axiom for any discerning viewer that Hollywood productions, whether film or television, must be approached with profound scepticism as historical documents. Even those lauded for their meticulous production design and commitment to authenticity, such as the highly-praised 2001 miniseries Band of Brothers, ultimately serve narrative drama first and historical record second. While the series stands as arguably the most significant televisual depiction of the Second World War produced in the 21st Century, its third episode, Carentan, provides a compelling case study in how dramatic imperatives and narrative compression can subtly, yet significantly, distort the historical reality it seeks to portray.
Set in the chaotic aftermath of D-Day, Carentan follows the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne as they consolidate their hold on Normandy. The episode opens with the paratroopers scattered across the countryside after their disastrous drop behind enemy lines. The town of Carentan becomes a strategic linchpin: its capture would link the Allied beachheads, while its retention by German forces could sever the advance and push the Allies back into the sea. Easy Company, under the leadership of Lieutenant Richard Winters (Damian Lewis), faces fierce resistance from Fallschirmjäger (German paratroopers) entrenched in the town. Despite heavy casualties, the Americans secure Carentan, only to endure a brutal counterattack days later when German armour overwhelms their positions. The tide turns with the arrival of the U.S. 2nd Armoured Division, whose Sherman tanks repel the assault. The episode closes with Easy Company withdrawn to England for respite, their camaraderie frayed by grief and exhaustion as they tally the losses of their comrades.
While the broad strokes of this narrative align with historical accounts, the episode’s compression of timelines and selective focus on Easy Company’s exploits glosses over the broader complexities of the Carentan campaign. For instance, the real operation involved coordination with the 501st and 508th Parachute Infantry Regiments, yet the episode centres almost exclusively on Easy Company, amplifying their heroism at the expense of a more nuanced portrayal of Allied efforts. This narrative framing, though effective for dramatic purposes, risks perpetuating the myth of the "lone hero" in war, a trope that Band of Brothers otherwise seeks to dismantle.
Carentan diverges stylistically from the first two episodes, adopting a grittier, more frenetic aesthetic reminiscent of Saving Private Ryan. The opening scenes of urban combat—chaotic, blood-soaked, and claustrophobic—mirror Spielberg’s 1998 film, with desaturated colours immersing viewers in the chaos of close-quarters fighting. Soldiers are maimed by artillery, disintegrated by mortar fire, or left twitching in the streets, their deaths rendered with unflinching brutality. This visual language, while powerful, contrasts sharply with the more restrained, documentary-style realism of earlier episodes, creating tonal dissonance that feels jarring rather than cohesive.
The second half of the episode, dedicated to what would later be remembered as "Battle of the Bloody Gulch," shifts to open-field combat, where Easy Company faces German armour on exposed terrain. Here, the series leans into the visceral impact of mechanised warfare, juxtaposing the paratroopers’ vulnerability with the raw firepower of tanks. The depiction of the Fallschirmjäger as elite, fanatical foes—equal in tenacity but ultimately outmatched—serves to elevate the American soldiers’ heroism. However, the arrival of U.S. armour to rescue the paratroopers, while historically accurate, reinforces a recurring theme in Western war media: the inevitability of technological superiority overriding human resilience. This simplification risks overshadowing the logistical and tactical ingenuity that characterised real airborne operations.
The episode’s most compelling and contentious element is its focus on Private Albert Blithe (Marc Warren), a relatively obscure figure in the historical record who is elevated to a central narrative role. Blithe, introduced as a disoriented paratrooper separated from Easy Company after D-Day, embodies the psychological toll of combat. His temporary hysterical blindness—a documented condition among soldiers exposed to extreme trauma—serves as a metaphor for the disorientation and fear gripping many inexperienced troops. The scene in which Lt. Ronald Spiers (Matthew Settle) delivers a cold, almost nihilistic pep talk, urging Blithe to accept his mortality, is a fictionalised yet potent exploration of how soldiers reconcile fear with duty. However, the flashback depicting Spiers executing German prisoners feels gratuitously "artsy," its stylised violence clashing with the episode’s otherwise grounded realism.
Blithe’s arc reaches a crescendo during the second battle, where he overcomes his paralysis to kill a German paratrooper and claim an Edelweiss as a trophy—a symbolic assertion of agency. His subsequent volunteering for a patrol and being shot in the neck further humanises him, though the episode’s closing title card declaring he "never recovered" and died in 1948 is a glaring inaccuracy. This narrative choice, while emotionally resonant, perpetuates a myth born from post-war disconnection. Blithe’s absence from Easy Company reunions led veterans and historian Stephen E. Ambrose to erroneously conclude he had died, a mistake enshrined in the series despite later corrections.
The historical record paints a different picture. Blithe survived the war and continued his military career, rising to Master Sergeant and serving in the Korean War with the 187th Airborne Regimental Combat Team. There, he earned a Bronze Star and Silver Star for valour, including a daring parachute jump behind enemy lines surrounded by Chinese forces. His death in 1967, attributed to complications from a perforated ulcer while stationed in West Germany, contrasts sharply with the show’s tragic epilogue. This error, though minor in the grand scheme of the series, highlights the dangers of conflating anecdotal accounts with verified history. Ambrose’s reliance on oral histories from aging veterans—a cornerstone of his research—introduced gaps that the show’s writers amplified for dramatic effect.
Blithe’s family, however, expressed gratitude for his portrayal, with his son thanking Marc Warren for capturing his father’s "essence." This duality—where historical inaccuracy serves emotional truth—exemplifies the paradox of Band of Brothers. The series succeeds in humanising the soldiers’ experiences, even if it sacrifices precision to do so. Blithe’s arc, though fictionalised, resonates because it reflects a universal reality of war: the struggle to reconcile fear with duty, and the long shadow of trauma that outlives the battlefield.
Carentan is a masterclass in war storytelling, blending intimate character drama with large-scale combat sequences. Yet its treatment of Blithe underscores a recurring issue in historical fiction: the prioritisation of narrative cohesion over factual rigour. While the episode’s depiction of the battles for Carentan and Bloody Gulch is largely accurate, the embellishment of Blithe’s personal story—and the perpetuation of a myth about his death—serves as a reminder that even the most lauded productions are not immune to error. For viewers, this demands a critical eye: Band of Brothers is an invaluable window into the emotional landscape of war, but it is not a substitute for rigorous historical inquiry. The real Albert Blithe’s legacy, one of resilience and service, deserves to be remembered not as a casualty of artistic licence, but as a testament to the complexities of translating lived experience into fiction.
..."El hombre que no dedica tiempo a su familia jamás será un hombre completo"... Es una cita de Don Vito Corleone en la película "El Padrino" que también se cita en esta película el inicio.
""The man who does not devote time to his family will never be a complete man"... It is a quote from Don Vito Corleone in the movie "The Godfather" which is also quoted in this movie at the beginning."...

¡Saludos queridos cinéfilos!
Hoy hablaré acerca de mi experiencia viendo la película "Charlie a special dog", desde mi punto de vista y sin mucho spoiler, porque la idea es que la veas y compartas tu experiencia conmigo.
Relativamente nuevo esta película, el año 2022 fue su lanzamiento, me llamó la atención la descripción de la misma y que involucraba mascotas, al principio pensé que se trataba de un perro con superpoderes pero no es así a menos que el amor se considere un super poder.
Me he convertido en fan de películas de India, la mayoría que he visto ha sido muy reflexiva, bonita y creo que tienen cierta magia, esta película no escapa de estas características.
Empieza con una reflexión profunda acerca de la familia, luego vemos escenas de un lugar como una perrera donde tienen encerrados muchos perros, dirigido por un hombre perturbado esclavo de sustancias, el maltrato animal es visible y nos lleva a la reflexión acerca de los experimentos a los que son sometidos y acerca de la endogamia.
Esta historia se trata de Charlie, un cachorro de raza labrador que logra escapar del infierno y la tortura y nos cuenta su gran aventura, pero también narra la historia de Dharman, un hombre que lo ha perdido todo y no ve un sentido alegre y positivo de la vida, que se ha atrapado en su propia rutina.
Charlie se volvió un perro callejero, como tal come sobras de la basura, sus ojos se muestran muy cansados para su corta edad.
Amé que la película no fuera tan manipulada digitalmente y los creadores encontraran la forma de que los perritos actores mostraran lo profesional que son, esto además habla de una buena edición de vídeo y el guión.
English version
Greetings dear cinephiles!
Today I will talk about my experience watching the movie "Charlie a special dog", from my point of view and without much spoiler, because the idea is that you see it and share your experience with me.
Relatively new this movie, the year 2022 was its release, I was struck by the description of it and that it involved pets, at first I thought it was about a dog with super powers but it is not so unless love is considered a super power.
I have become a fan of Indian movies, most I have seen have been very thoughtful, beautiful and I think they have a certain magic to them, this movie does not escape these characteristics.
It starts with a deep reflection about the family, then we see scenes of a place like a kennel where they have locked up many dogs, run by a disturbed man slave of substances, animal abuse is visible and leads us to reflect on the experiments to which they are subjected and about inbreeding.
This story is about Charlie, a Labrador puppy who manages to escape from hell and torture and tells us about his great adventure, but it also tells the story of Dharman, a man who has lost everything and does not see a joyful and positive sense of life, who has become trapped in his own routine.
Charlie became a stray dog, as such he eats scraps from the garbage, his eyes show very tired for his young age.
I loved that the film was not so digitally manipulated and the creators found a way for the doggy actors to show how professional they are, this also speaks to good video editing and script.

Charlie se mete en problemas constantemente, logra escapar de todas ellas como linda perrita traviesa gozando de su libertad.
Esta película tiene muy buenas reviews de usuarios, muchos como yo la amaron. Tiene buenas puntuación que como yo son de 5 estrellas.
La primera media hora encontrarás varias frases escondidas dentro de los capítulos, menciono otra de ellas para reflexionar: "La basura de un hombre es el tesoro de otro"...
Dharman es un hombre que le cuesta relacionarse con las personas, es alguien callado que en el fondo sueña con volver a tener una familia, pero no tiene tiempo para ella, trabaja en una empresa a la que me parece metalurgia y su carácter es amargado y malhumorado. Su casa, su vida, es como la de un hombre soltero descuidado de sí mismo y del aseo, allí es donde Charlie y Dharman se conocen, en el caos de sus vidas.
Ambos asustados por el mundo real, el bullicio, la gente, sufriendo de ataques de pánico...
Dicen que "El perro es el mejor amigo del hombre"... Tanto Charlie como Dharman tienen mucho que aprender el uno del otro.
Continuando con la breve reseña de la vida de Dharman, de pequeño era feliz, tenia una casa y una familia hermosa, pero un accidente le arrebató esa felicidad, continuamente tiene pesadillas de ello, al entrar Charlie a su vida el perrito intenta darle consuelo, pero al principio su corazón estaba muy endurecido... Sin embargo, Charlie fue insistente, se ganó el corazón de Dharman y un accidente que tuvo la perrita pudo cambiarlo todo dándole a ambos una segunda oportunidad.
Ambos viven aventuras muy divertidas.
English version
Charlie is constantly getting into trouble, she manages to escape from all of them like a cute little naughty dog enjoying her freedom.
This movie has very good reviews from users, many like me loved it. It has good ratings that like me are 5 stars.
The first half hour you will find several phrases hidden within the chapters, I mention another one of them to reflect: "One man's trash is another man's treasure"....
Dharman is a man who finds it hard to relate to people, he is someone quiet who deep down dreams of having a family again, but he has no time for it, he works in a company which I find metallurgy and his character is bitter and moody. His home, his life, is like that of a single man careless of himself and grooming, that's where Charlie and Dharman meet, in the chaos of their lives.
Both frightened by the real world, the hustle and bustle, the people, suffering from panic attacks?
They say that "Dog is man's best friend".... Both Charlie and Dharman have a lot to learn from each other.
Continuing with the brief review of Dharman's life, as a child he was happy, he had a house and a beautiful family, but an accident took away that happiness, he continually has nightmares of it, as Charlie enters his life the little dog tries to comfort him, but at first his heart was very hardened.... However, Charlie was insistent, he won Dharman's heart and an accident the puppy had could change everything giving them both a second chance.
Both live very funny adventures.

Esta es una película que fluctúa entre la comedia y el drama, lloré mucho pero no de tristeza sino de ternura, es una película profundamente tierna, Charlie y Dharman se aceptan el uno al otro sin importar la raza, la condición social y como son en su personalidad, el cariño y la conexión entre ambos es única, construyen un hogar y la compañía del uno al otro los hizo mejorar como persona y como perro.
Tiene un buen guión, no encontré huecos en la historia ni me dejó picada, de hecho tiene un final sorprendente atípico del felices por siempre pero bastante lógico. Creo que es tomada de casos de la vida real. Es una historia que cautiva, nos deja profundas moralejas y la musicalización es estupenda.
Fue de mucho agrado la actuación de cada actor incluyendo los niños, que de acuerdo al género de la película considero estuvieron a la altura nos hacen creer la historia.
te gustará la fotografía también, pues está grabada mas que todo en paisajes naturales, es estupenda.
Si eres amante de las mascotas, si tienes una conexión o un vínculo especial con tu mascota, amarás esta película con la que pude identificarme pues su mensaje final es conmovedor:
"He perdido a todos los que amaba pero hice lo mejor que pude"...
Totalmente... Duele, duele profundo, pero... La vida continua para quienes seguimos respirando.
¡Tienes que verla! Es estupenda.
English version
This is a film that fluctuates between comedy and drama, I cried a lot but not of sadness but of tenderness, it is a deeply tender film, Charlie and Dharman accept each other regardless of race, social status and as they are in their personality, the affection and connection between the two is unique, they build a home and the company of each other made them improve as a person and as a dog.
It has a good script, I didn't find holes in the story nor did it leave me stung, in fact it has a surprising ending atypical of happily ever after but quite logical. I think it is taken from real life cases. It is a story that captivates, leaves us with deep morals and the musicalization is great.
I was very pleased with the performance of each actor, including the children, who according to the genre of the film, I think they were up to the task of making us believe the story.
You will also like the photography, because it is filmed mostly in natural landscapes, it is great.
If you are a pet lover, if you have a connection or a special bond with your pet, you will love this movie with which I could identify myself because its final message is touching:
"I've lost everyone I loved but I did the best I could".....
Totally... It hurts, it hurts deep, but.... Life goes on for those of us who are still breathing.
You have to see it! It's great.
After an intense and relatively long behind-the-scenes battle, the acclaimed and beloved animated TV series South Park has been renewed with no less than 50 new episodes. The deal between Paramount Global and the creators was reached for a hefty $ 1.5 billion, bringing relief not only to them but also to their fans (as everyone was apprehensive about the future of this project amid political turmoil).
South Park not only made a "simple" (but highly anticipated) return, but also, in its very first episode, offered a glimpse of what it's willing to do throughout this new season. In this case, the current controversy involves the then-President of the United States (Donald Trump), on a topic that seems very sensitive to him: his possibly very small genitals, within a perspective where he appears in bed with Satan.
Going a step further, Trump (an animated version created using artificial intelligence technology) appears naked, crawling in the desert and having pointless conversations with the character who reminds him of one of his main insecurities. In the episode, the audience follows a selfish version of Trump, where he ignores "points of improvement" in Americans' lives in favor of what's good for him alone (couldn't this be the real version of this person?).
It didn't take long for the White House to react vehemently to this "provocation," and this reignited a political issue involving Trump's control over possible interference within the American entertainment industry (especially in the fields of film and television), where he is allegedly using his power and political influence to "define" what can and cannot be done and broadcast on screens (both big and small).
I'm a huge fan of what South Park represents, not only as an animated TV series (which to this day "breaks" countless paradigms of the most conservative society in large parts of the world), but mainly as a type of media product that, besides entertaining the audience, makes a considerable portion of them think about many subjects that are still considered taboo in different social classes. Television badly needs this boldness.
”South Park”, más afilado que nunca.
Tras una intensa y larga batalla tras bambalinas, la aclamada y querida serie animada South Park ha sido renovada con nada menos que 50 nuevos episódios. El acuerdo entre Paramount Global y los creadores se alcanzó por la considerable suma de 1.500 millones de dólares, lo que supuso un alivio no solo para ellos, sino también para sus fans (ya que todos estaban preocupados por el futuro de este proyecto en medio de la agitación política).
South Park no solo tuvo un regreso "simple" (pero muy esperado), sino que, en su primer episodio, ofreció un adelanto de lo que está dispuesto a hacer a lo largo de esta nueva temporada. En este caso, la controversia actual involucra al entonces presidente de los Estados Unidos (Donald Trump), sobre un tema que le parece muy delicado: sus genitales, posiblemente muy pequeños, desde una perspectiva en la que aparece en la cama con Satanás.
Yendo un paso más allá, Trump (una versión animada creada con tecnología de inteligencia artificial) aparece desnudo, arrastrándose por el desierto y manteniendo conversaciones sin sentido con el personaje que le recuerda una de sus principales inseguridades. En el episodio, el público sigue a una versión egoísta de Trump, que ignora las "mejoras" en la vida de los estadounidenses en favor de lo que le conviene solo a él (¿no podría ser esta la versión real de esta persona?).
La Casa Blanca no tardó en reaccionar con vehemencia a esta "provocación", lo que reavivó un problema político relacionado con el control de Trump sobre la posible interferencia en la industria del entretenimiento estadounidense (especialmente en los ámbitos del cine y la televisión), donde supuestamente está utilizando su poder e influencia política para "definir" lo que se puede y no se puede hacer y transmitir en pantallas (tanto grandes como pequeñas).
Soy un gran fan de lo que South Park representa, no solo como serie animada (que hasta el día de hoy rompe innumerables paradigmas de la sociedad más conservadora en gran parte del mundo), sino principalmente como un producto mediático que, además de entretener a la audiencia, hace reflexionar a una parte considerable de ella sobre muchos temas que aún se consideran tabú en diferentes clases sociales. La televisión necesita urgentemente esta audacia.
”South Park”, mais afiado do que nunca.
Depois de uma intensa e relativamente longa batalha nos bastidores, a aclamada e querida série de TV animada South Park teve à sua renovação garantida com nada menos do que 50 novos episódios. O acordo entre a Paramount Global e os criadores foi firmado através de uma robusta quantia de US$ 1,5 bilhão, trazendo alívio não apenas para eles, mas também para seus fãs (porque todos estavam apreensivos sobre o futuro desse projeto em meio a problemas políticos).
South Park não fez apenas um “simples” (porém muito aguardo) retorno, como também já trouxe logo em seu primeiro episódio, uma amostra do que está disposto a fazer ao longo desta nova temporada. Neste caso, a controvérsia da vez envolve o então presidente dos Estados Unidos (Donald Trump), num tema que lhe parece ser muito sensível: o órgão genital possivelmente muito pequeno que ele tem, dentro de uma perspectiva onde ele aparece na cama com Satanás.
Indo um pouco mais além, Trump (versão animada que foi criada através da tecnologia de inteligência artificial) aparece nu, rastejando no deserto e tendo conversas despropositais com o personagem que lhe remete uma de suas principais inseguranças. No episódio, o público acompanha uma versão egoísta de Trump, onde ele ignora “pontos de melhorias” na vida dos americanos em detrimento do que é bom apenas para ele (não seria essa verdadeira versão desta pessoa?).
Não demorou muito tempo até que a Casa Branca reagisse veementemente sobre essa “provocação”, e isso reacendeu uma questão política, que envolve o Trump no comando de possíveis interferências dentro do setor do entretenimento americano (em especial quando os campos são cinema e televisão), onde ele estaria usando o seu poder e influências políticas para “definir” sobre o que pode ou não pode ser feito e veiculado nas telas (sejam elas grandes ou pequenas).
Eu sou um grande fã do que South Park representa, não apenas como uma série de TV animada (que até hoje “quebra” inúmeros paradigmas da sociedade mais conservadora em grandes partes do mundo), mas principalmente por ser um tipo de produto midiático que além de divertir o público, faz uma parte considerável dele pensar sobre muitos assuntos que ainda são considerados como tabus em diferentes tipos de classes sociais. A televisão precisa muito dessa ousadia.
Later tonight, I am going to watch the series finale of one of my favorite shows of all time: Resident Alien. Why am I writing this before watching the finale? Well I have been burned too many times by a shows finale. Some have been so bad that they honestly ruined the show for me (How I Met Your Mother and The Wire). Others, like The Sopranos, were just so bad that they put me in a bad mood for quite a while but they did not ruin my previous enjoyment. So I wanted to get this out there while I am still all puppy dogs and ice cream (pizza and pies) about the show.
If you have never seen Resident Alien, you are in luck because you can binge all five seasons now. The show centers around an Alien played by Alan Tudyk who has taken over the body of a small town doctor in Patience Colorado. Tudyk is one of my favorite comedic actors. You may think you don't know him, but I assure that you do. In addition to his live action roles, Tudyk is one of the best voice actors around. He has voiced many robots including Gary in Superman, K-2SO in Rouge One and Andor as well as The Joker and Clayface in Harley Quinn. To be honest, he has been in too much to list here but he is always awesome. In Resident Alien, he plays Dr. Harry Vanderspeigel like a human being who is neurodiverse or is on the Autism spectrum. Although this leads to some hilarious situations, the writers are never making fun of neurodiversity.
The show is filled with very entertaining side characters like a way too young mayor of the town, his wife and their son... who just so happens to be able to see aliens even when they are taking on human form. That son, max, pals around with a precocious young girl his age named Sahar who gave off Hermione Granger vibes in the best way. Their capers could have carried the show.
But the show is not all comedy. It has a HUGE heart. This is shown between the relationship between Harry and his nurse Asta (played beautifully by Sara Tomko). Instead of going for the cliche "will they or won't they" it is established in concrete that Harry and Asta are just friends. Seeing their platonic love develop is one of the purest most beautiful things I have seen on TV. Asta having to teach harry how to show empathy and love was simply beautiful. in addition the love between Asta and her adoptive father is incredible.
Actually now that I think of it, maybe Asta is more like Harry's mom. Either way it is a beautiful relationship.
One of my favorite things about the show is how they people Native American culture in the forefront. Asta, her adoptive father, her daughter who she gave up for adoption are all native American. Again it is not used as a gimmick. It is more like a "Hey. Native American people exist. They can be awesome characters. Why don't we ever just show them as people? Why does everything have to be so cliche?" I love how the writers seamlessly weave in Native American cultural. It adds another level of pleasantness to the show.
But honestly, the humor is what really makes this one of my favorite shows of all time. It is simply hilarious. There has never been an episode where I did not laugh out loud at least 5 or 6 times. The sheriff and his deputy alone could have been the main characters and I would have still loved it. It also seemed that every season, they added something else fun. I don't want to spoil anything but Harry eventually has a baby. Every scene with that baby is simply hilarious.
Resident Alien is one of the best combinations of heart and humor I have ever seen. After every episode I felt warm and happy.
Oh here's a pro tip. Don't fast forward over the credits. The cartoons they show during the credits are really funny and always give a preview of what is going to happen.
Hello, anime fans. Today, I want to talk to you about the spin-off/prequel to the famous Japanese animated series known as My Hero Academia (based on the manga series of the same name by Kohēi Horikoshi). That's right, I'm talking about Vigilantes (or ILLEGALS). This work, broadcast last season, was the talk of the town this year and was enjoyed by what appears to be the majority of the franchise's fandom. Based on the superhero manga of the same name written by Hideyuki Furuhashi and illustrated by Betten Court, this animated adaptation was produced by the famous studio Bones Film. Discover one of the best alternative stories taken from one of today's most famous superhero worlds.
SPANISH VERSION
Hola, fanáticos del anime. En esta ocasión les quiero hablar del spin-off/precuela de la famosa serie animada japonesa conocida como My Hero Academia (basada en la serie de manga homónima de Kohēi Horikoshi). Así es, estoy hablando de Vigilantes (o ILLEGALS). Esta obra, emitida la temporada pasada, llegó a dar mucho de qué hablar este año y gustó a lo que parece ser la mayoría del fandom de esta franquicia. Basada en el manga homónimo de superhéroes escrito por Hideyuki Furuhashi e ilustrado por Betten Court, esta adaptación animada fue producida por el famoso estudio Bones Film. Conoce una de las mejores historias alternativas sacadas de uno de los mundos de superhéroes más famosos de la actualidad.
This story takes place five years before the events of the main series (MHA). We meet Koichi Haimawari, a college student who has a Quirk that is unremarkable and seemingly useless at first glance. In addition to his studies and part-time job, our young protagonist also uses his quirk for good by helping others. The problem with this is that Koichi does not have a license to legally perform such heroic deeds. Even so, he decides to come to the rescue whenever he has the chance, even though his gift is sometimes of little use against powerful villains. This is where Knuckleduster appears, a tall, burly masked man with almost superhuman strength.
SPANISH VERSION

Esta historia transcurre cinco años antes de los sucesos de la serie principal (MHA). Conocemos a Koichi Haimawari, un universitario que posee un Don muy poco llamativo e inútil a simple vista. Aparte de sus estudios y su trabajo a medio tiempo, nuestro joven protagonista también utiliza su Don para el bien ayudando a los demás. El problema con esto es que Koichi no tiene licencia para cumplir con dicha labor de héroe de forma legal. Aún así, decide acudir al rescate siempre que tenga la posibilidad de hacerlo, a pesar de que a veces su don no le sirve de mucho con villanos poderosos. Es aquí donde aparece Knuckleduster, quien es un enmascarado alto y corpulento con una fuerza casi sobrehumana.
I think it's been a long time since I made clear my fanaticism for superhero movies and series. So much so that my first attempt at a special here on Hive almost a year ago was purely about Marvel Studios movies. Now, the topic of superheroes is viewed very differently in the East than it is in the West. Even so, in the anime industry, there are famous works within this genre that have reached the top of the sales charts due to their success. One such case is My Hero Academia, a work that has marked an entire generation over the last decade with a fantastic story full of characters that are simply unforgettable.
Despite its weaknesses and what its own fandom says about its story, its protagonist, and so on, My Hero Academia has become one of my favorite action and superhero anime series of all time. That's why the idea of a spin-off from the same franchise based on the same universe, but with a different story, seemed to me to be the most interesting thing to watch last season. Vigilantes turned out to be an alternative story that felt familiar to its original series/sequel, but at the same time has a very different tone from what we already know. Before going into more detail, I should mention that you don't need to watch the entire My Hero Academia anime (which is more than seven seasons) to fully understand this story.
SPANISH VERSION
Creo que fue hace mucho que dejé claro mi fanatismo con las películas y series de superhéroes. Es tanto así que mi primer intento de especial que hice aquí en Hive hace casi un año fue de puras películas de Marvel Studios. Ahora, el tema de los superhéroes es visto en oriente de una manera muy distinta a como la vemos en occidente. Aún así, en la industria del anime, hay obras famosas dentro de este género que han conseguido el TOP de ventas debido al éxito que tienen. Uno de esos casos es el de My Hero Academia, una obra que marcó a toda una generación durante esta última década con una historia fantástica repleta de personajes que son simplemente inolvidables.
A pesar de sus puntos débiles y lo que su mismo fandom habla acerca de su historia, su protagonista y demás; My Hero Academia se ha convertido en uno de mis animes de acción y superhéroes más preferidos de todos. Es por eso que la idea de un spin-off de la misma franquicia basada en el mismo universo, pero con otra historia me pareció de lo más interesante para ver en la temporada pasada. Vigilantes llegó a ser una historia alternativa que me causó una sensación familiar a su serie original/secuela, pero a su vez tiene un tono muy distinto a lo que ya conocemos. Antes de entrar más a detalle con esto les informo que no hace falta que vean antes todo el anime de My Hero Academia (que son más de 7 temporadas) para poder entender del todo esta historia.
Unlike the main work, Vigilantes transports us to the everyday life of a young city dweller, a college student with certain socialization issues and a seemingly ordinary life with a part-time job and common hobbies. However, he has a Quirk that helps him get around without having to walk so much. His fingers and feet can slide over any surface without touching it completely, helping him move wherever he wants. Koichi Haimawari not only uses his quirk to get to college or work on time, but also to help people who need a hand from time to time. He wears an All Might sweatshirt (Japan's No. 1Hero) that also serves as a costume as he moves around the city.
The interesting thing about all this is not so much his daily life and his constant attempts to be an illegal hero (since, remember, he doesn't have a license), but what happens when one day he tries to help a street artist named Kazuho Haneyama (aka Pop★Step) who is being attacked by a group of thugs. His attempts are in vain, as Koichi is unable to do anything to them and, in return, they get beaten up. It is thanks to the help of the mysterious masked man, Knuckleduster (undoubtedly the best character in this series), that he saves them both from the clutches of these criminals. From then on, this little group of three will start working together to help the people of the city while taking down spontaneous villains who appear from time to time.
SPANISH VERSION
A diferencia de la obra principal, Vigilantes nos transporta a la vida cotidiana de un joven citadino, un universitario con ciertos problemas para socializar y una vida aparentemente común con un trabajo de medio tiempo y aficiones comunes. Sin embargo, tiene un Don que le ayuda a transportarse sin tener que caminar tanto. Sus dedos y pies pueden conseguir deslizarse sobre cualquier superficie sin tocarlo por completo, ayudándolo así a desplazarse a donde él quiera. Koichi Haimawari no solo utiliza su don para llegar a tiempo a su universidad o trabajo, sino que también lo usa para ayudar a la gente que necesita una mano de vez en cuando. Se viste con una sudadera de All Might (el Héroe nro. 1 de Japón) que también sirve como traje mientras se desplaza por la ciudad.
Lo interesante de todo esto no es tanto su vida cotidiana y sus constantes intentos de ser un héroe ilegal (ya que recordemos que no tiene licencia), sino lo que sucede cuando un día intenta ayudar a una artista callejera llamada Kazuho Haneyama (alias Pop★Step) que está siendo atacada por un grupo de maleantes. Sus intentos son en vano ya que Koichi no consigue hacerles nada y, a cambio, reciben una paliza. Es gracias a la ayuda del misterioso enmascarado, Knuckleduster (sin duda el mejor personaje de esta serie) que salva a ambos de las garras de estos malhechores. A partir de ahí, este grupito de tres empezarán a trabajar juntos para ayudar a la gente de la ciudad mientras acaban con villanos espontáneos que aparecen de vez en cuando.
Something I like about these anime series is the way they manage to build their characters so well with a story that mixes the everyday with the fictional, such as superheroes and supervillains. But not only that, each character always has something to tell us, something to show us about their past, their dreams, their desires, or their emotions. Vigilantes not only shows us the other side of this world of superhumans we already know, where those who use their Quirks to help others need a license or someone who is truly a hero to carry out that task. But those who do not have that license, yet still want to do good and protect others, are the protagonists of this story.
Far from the famous Hero Academy (UA) and deeper into the streets and dark corners of the city, we see Koichi and his new companions saving lives, protecting the inhabitants, and defeating villains in an improvised and team-based manner. We also see how each case that occurs in this city is caused by an evil much more dangerous than it appears to be. Each character we meet in this series is not like the young students at the UA, but rather ordinary people with ordinary problems and ordinary differences of opinion. Although most of them have Quirks, what we see in this anime is not only how these people use them correctly and incorrectly, but also how these attempts by spontaneous heroes and villains affect society in one way or another.
SPANISH VERSION
Algo que me gusta de estos animes es la forma en la que consiguen construir muy bien a sus personajes con una historia que mezcla lo cotidiano con lo ficticio, como lo son los superhéroes y los supervillanos. Pero no solo eso, sino que cada personaje siempre tiene algo que contarnos, algo que mostrar en cuanto a su pasado, sus sueños, sus deseos o sus emociones. Vigilantes no solo nos muestra el otro lado de este mundo de superhumanos que ya conocemos donde los que usan sus Dones para ayudar a otros necesitan de una licencia o de alguien que sea realmente un héroe para cumplir con dicha labor. Sino que los que no poseen esa licencia, pero aún así quieren hacer el bien y proteger a los demás son los que protagonizan esta historia.
Lejos de la famosa Academia de Héroes (UA) y más adentrados a las calles y los rincones oscuros de la ciudad veremos a Koichi junto con sus nuevos compañeros salvar vidas, proteger a los habitantes y vencer a villanos de manera improvisada y en equipo. También vemos cómo cada caso que ocurre en esta ciudad es ocasionado por un mal muchísimo más peligroso de lo que aparenta ser. Cada personaje que conoceremos en esta serie no es como los jóvenes estudiantes de la UA, sino que son personas comunes con problemas comunes y diferencias de opiniones comunes. A pesar de que la mayoría tenga Dones, lo que veremos en este anime no es solamente a esta gente usarlos correcta e incorrectamente, sino que también veremos cómo estos intentos de héroes y villanos espontáneos afectan a la sociedad de alguna u otra forma.
I know that in MHA we can see all this and more in a somewhat broader and deeper way, but in the case of Vigilantes it's different, since it's the people who always remain in the background who are the main focus. A fan, a thief, a drug dealer, a murderer, a high school student, a father, or even an unlicensed college student are the ones who take on the leading role and tell us their stories. Each character has their own thing going on, and most of them are easy to empathize with (although there are a few who are just plain unpleasant). The villains are usually thugs or people with a lot of problems who receive "help" to turn them into dangerous threats. But the ones who really fulfill the role of antagonists are those with a very deep malice or a very twisted idea of justice.
Another thing I like, apart from the story and characters, is the style of humor in this anime. It's not heavy or childish humor, but rather a type that is enjoyable in most cases. Of course, it also has its dramatic and action-packed moments with fight scenes and chases that are among the best. Obviously, it's normal that seeing a burly masked man fighting a high school student with his bare fists is strange in itself without its background context, but otherwise there's nothing to complain about. There is just one small detail, very small, but equally noticeable, and that is the fanservice. Yes, in this spin-off there is almost nothing compared to the original series, but at the beginning it is noticeable that they do not hide it as they did in the rest of the season.
SPANISH VERSION
Sé que en MHA podemos ver todo esto y más de una manera un tanto más amplia y profunda, pero en el caso de Vigilantes es diferente ya que es la gente que queda siempre en segundo o tercer plano los que tienen la atención principal. Un fan, un ladrón, un traficante, un asesino, una estudiante de secundaria, un padre o hasta un universitario sin licencia son los que toman el papel protagónico y nos cuentan sus historias. Cada personaje tiene lo suyo y la mayoría llega a ser fácil de empatizar (aunque hay uno que otro que es simplemente desagradable). Los villanos normalmente son maleantes o gente con muchos problemas que recibe una “ayuda” para convertirlos en amenazas peligrosas. Pero los que de verdad cumplen con el papel de antagonistas con obradores con una malicia muy profunda o una idea muy retorcida de la justicia.
Otra cosa que me gusta, aparte de su historia y sus personajes, es el estilo de humor que tiene este anime. Este no es un humor ni tan pesado ni tan infantil, sino es uno que llega a ser agradable en la mayoría de los casos. Claro está, también tiene sus momentos dramáticos y repletos de acción con escenas de peleas y persecuciones que son de lo mejor. Obviamente, es normal que al ver a un hombre robusto enmascarado pelear con una estudiante de preparatoria a puño limpio es algo de por sí extraño sin su contexto de fondo, pero de resto no hay nada con qué quejarse. Solo hay un pequeño detalle, muy pequeño, pero igual de notable y es el fanservice. Si, en este spin-off no hay casi nada en comparación con su serie original, pero al principio se nota que no lo ocultan como lo hicieron en el resto de la temporada.
Honestly, I don't know what the author of these series has against the sexualization of female high school characters. I don't have to give names as examples of this, since just taking a look at the UA students in their superhero costumes is more than enough. The same thing happens with Kazuho Haneyama, who, again, is another high school minor. Leaving aside this detail, which may just be my exaggeration, I have nothing else negative to say about this anime. It also deals with sensitive topics such as murder, violence, and parental or family problems. The theme of heroism and all the monologues we repeatedly hear in MHA are not mentioned as much in this anime, which gives us a little breathing room.
Last but not least, let's talk about the audiovisual aspect of this anime. As expected from Bones, the animation is very high quality, even somewhat better than the adaptation of the main series. The character designs look a little different, either that or simply because there aren't many characters with funny appearances in this series. The vivid color palette and the right mix of light and shadow showcase that classic superhero comic book style. The same goes for the costumes, especially those of the licensed heroes who appear. The fluidity is good, and there is a very significant improvement in certain chase or fight scenes. The visual effects are top-notch, as are the sound effects. But nothing beats the soundtrack, which does a great job of conveying the right emotions for each scene. In short, this is an anime for superhero fans looking for something a little different.
Personally, I give it a rating of 8.5/10 in terms of the superhero genre.
SPANISH VERSION
Sinceramente, no sé qué tiene el autor de estas series con respecto a la sexualización de personajes femeninos de preparatoria. No tengo que dar nombres como ejemplo de esto ya que con echarle un ojo a las estudiantes de la UA con sus trajes de superhéroes pueden tener más que suficiente. Lo mismo se repite con el caso de Kazuho Haneyama quien, de nuevo, es otra menor de preparatoria. Dejando de lado este detalle que puede que solo sea exageración mía, no tengo más nada negativo que sacarle a este anime. También tiene temas sensibles como el asesinato, la violencia y los problemas parentales o familiares. El tema del heroísmo y todo el monólogo que repetidamente lo escuchamos en MHA no se menciona tanto en este anime, lo cual nos da un pequeño respiro.
Por último, pero no menos importante, hablamos del apartado audiovisual de este anime. Como era de esperarse de Bones, su animación es de muy alta calidad, incluso un tanto mejor que la adaptación de la serie principal. El diseño de los personajes se ven un tanto diferentes, eso o simplemente porque no hay muchos personajes con aspectos graciosos en esta serie. La paleta de colores vivos y la mezcla correcta de luces y sombras muestran ese estilo clásico de cómic de superhéroes. Lo mismo va con los trajes, sobre todo con los de los héroes con licencia que aparecen. La fluidez está bien y se ve una mejora muy significativa en ciertas escenas de persecuciones o peleas. Los efectos visuales son de lo mejor, al igual que los efectos de sonido. Pero nada como su banda sonora que cumple con transmitir las emociones correctas de cada escena. En resumen, este es un anime para los fans de los superhéroes que buscan algo un tanto diferente.
Personalmente, le doy una calificación de 8.5/10 en lo que respecta al género de superhéroes.

The first time I watched Naruto was on Cartoon Network. I don't remember my exact age, but I know I became a fan of the anime in the blink of an eye. There was something I, at least, eagerly awaited with the broadcast of each episode: the opening. And if there's one thing Naruto has, it's those openings that somehow whisper what awaits the characters. Being such a long story with diverse adventures, it's natural that every so often they released a new song with a different cinematic.
For this occasion, I'll be going over some of my favorite Naruto openings and why I believe they mark an important milestone in the story of that ninja who, at least once, made us laugh, cry, and inspired us to see personal struggles in a new way.
Here we go!
Naruto Opening 4: GO!!!
No need for much explanation why this is one of my favorite openings (😂).
The explosive energy of the band FLOW immediately throws us into what's almost a complete shift in Naruto's narrative. It perfectly captures the aftermath of Orochimaru's attack and the new direction for a Hokage in Konoha. From this point, things really start to expand: we get a deeper look into Naruto's maturity and growth, especially with the Rasengan technique. We also see Sasuke's growing fear of Itachi's power and his desperate need for revenge.
Oh, and of course, there was the epic battle of the Three Legendary Sannin!
So much emotion packed into what was, at least for me, the most decisive run of episodes in Naruto. At this stage, the anime was heading towards what would ultimately seal the fate of Kakashi's Team 7 and the subsequent events that led to its fragmentation.
Naruto Shipuden Opening 3: Blue Bird
For me, "Blue Bird" is one of Naruto's best openings.
With a softer, more melancholic musical tone, the song and its accompanying cinematics show us a Naruto deeply affected by Sasuke's absence, using the peculiar metaphor of a blue bird. In fact, many subsequent openings emphasized the void Sasuke had left in his friends, especially in our protagonist.
If I recall correctly, this opening covers the fight between Naruto and Sora, as well as the introduction of Hidan and Kakuzu, the villains who would ultimately change the course of Shikamaru's life and that of his sensei.
Naruto Shippuden expanded its universe of plots and adventures into new arcs with complex characters and the loss of valuable ones. I believe "Blue Bird" was the starting point for this more nostalgic modality of the anime.
Naruto Shipuden Opening 6: Sing
Once again, FLOW delivered! This opening is loaded with three remarkable elements: energy, rhythm, and melancholy. The anime once again shifts its paradigm with the descent of a beloved character and the rise of another who immediately becomes one of the most powerful rivals Naruto has to face: Pain.
And while the opening itself is brutal, packed with cinematics showing two magnificent battles (Pain vs. Jiraiya and Sasuke vs. Itachi), the aftermath is quite bitter.
The cinematics introduce us to the emotional and physical loss in the Naruto-Sasuke duality. Both lose something important, and both must take different paths. It's quite poetic, at least for me.
The synchronicity between the cinematics and the song is, without a doubt, the most outstanding aspect of this opening.
Naruto Shipuden Opening 19: Blood Circulator
Finally, there's "Blood Circulator," which, after many subsequent openings, managed to captivate me with both its cinematics and the melody of its song. It portrays what seems to be an imminent end for everyone fighting in the Fourth Great Ninja War.
At first, all seems lost, until suddenly, Sasuke appears to offer a glimmer of hope. With that, all the characters who appear defeated rise and fight in what is shown to be the definitive battle.
The arc of this war was quite long, but it had its epic moments. At least in the sense of Naruto's major paradigms, this opening serves to close a cycle, where Kaguya is introduced as the ultimate villain.
Of course, to talk about Naruto openings, I'd need to write an entire book. Almost all of them are good, though these are the best for me. Which ones are your favorites?
Naruto is one of the anime I've watched since childhood and it has undoubtedly stayed in my memory. More than just a simple ninja story, there's a whole universe of nostalgia, adventure, and characters with deep backstories... something the openings manage to capture very well.

¿Qué es un anime sin un buen opening?
La primera vez que vi Naruto, fue a través de Cartoon Network. No recuerdo cuantos años tenía yo exactamente, pero sé que me hice fan del anime en un abrir y cerrar de ojos. Había algo que, al menos yo, esperaba con ansias con la transmisión de cada episodio: el opening. Y si algo tiene Naruto, son esos openings que de alguna forma te susurran lo que le espera a los personajes. Al ser una historia tan larga y con aventuras tan diversas, es natural que cada cierto tiempo hayan sacado una canción con una cinemática diferente.
Para esta ocasión, repasaré algunos de mis openings favoritos de Naruto, y por qué considero que estos marcan un hito importante en la historia de ese ninja que, al menos una vez, nos sacó risas, llantos y nos inspiró a una nueva forma de ver las luchas personales.
¡Aquí vamos!
Naruto Opening 4: GO!!!
No hace falta explicar mucho por qué este es uno de mis Openings favoritos (😂).
La anergía explosiva de la banda Flow nos lleva de inmediato a lo que es un cambio casi completo en la narrativa de Naruto, con el desenlace final del ataque de Orochimaru, y los nuevos planteamientos para un Hokague en Konoha. Algunas cosas, a partir de aquí, comienzan a expandirse: se nos da una visión más profunda en la madurez y el crecimiento de Naruto, sobre todo con la técnica del Rasengan. Miramos además el creciente miedo de Sasuke por el poder de Itachi, y su necesidad de venganza.
Ah, y no podía faltar la épica batalla de los tres legendarios sannin.
Mucha emoción cargada en lo que, al menos para mí, fue la tanda de episodios más determinante dentro de Naruto. Ya en este punto, el anime se encaminaba a lo que terminaría de sellar el destino del equipo 7 de Kakashi, y los eventos posteriores que terminaron por fragmentarlo.
Naruto Shipuden Opening 3: Blue Bird
Para mí, Blue Bird es uno de los mejores Opening de Naruto.
Con un tono musical más suave y melancólico, la canción y las sucesivas cinemáticas nos muestra a un Naruto bastante afectado por la ausencia de Sasuke, con la metáfora peculiar de un ave azul. De hecho, gran parte de los openigns posteriores hicieron hincapié en ese vacío que Sasuke había dejado en sus amigos, sobre todo en nuestro protagonista.
Si bien recuerdo, el opening abarca la pelea de Naruto y Sora, así como la presentación de Hidan y Kakuzu, los villanos que terminarían por cambiar el rumbo en la vida de Shikamaru y su sensei.
Naruto Shipuden expandió su universo de tramas y aventuras a nuevos arcos con personajes complejos, y la pérdida de personajes valiosos. Creo que Blue Bird fue el punto de partida para esta modalidad más nostálgica del anime.
Naruto Shipuden Opening 6: Sing
Otra vez, Flow lo hizo.
Este Opening está cargado de tres elementos destacables: energía, ritmo y melancolía. Nuevamente, el anime cambia su paradigama con el descenso de un personaje entrañable, y el ascenso de otro que de inmediato pasa a ser uno de los rivales más poderosos que Naruto debe enfrentar: Pain.
Y aunque el opening está brutal, repleto de cinemáticas en las que miramos dos batallas magníficas (Pain vs Hiraya y Sasuke vs Itachi), el desenlace que viene después es bastante amargo.
Las cinemáicas nos introducen a la pérdida emocional y física en esa dualidad Naruto-Sasuke. Ambos pierden algo importante, y ambos deberán tomar riendas diferentes. Es bastante poético, al menos para mí.
La sincronía entre las cinemáticas y la canción es, sin duda, el punto más destacable de este opening.
Naruto Shipuden Opening 19: Blood Circulator
Finalmente, está "Blood Circulator", que tras muchos openings después, logró enamorarme tanto por sus cinemáticas como por la tonada de su canción. En lo que parece ser un final inminente para todos los que luchan en la cuarta gran guerra ninja.
Al principio todo parece perdido, hasta que de pronto, Sasuke aparece para dar un atisbo de esperanza. Con ello, todos los personajes que se ven derrotados se levantan y luchan, en lo que se nos muestra como la batalla definitiva.
El arco de esta guerra fue bastante largo, pero tuvo sus momentos épicos. Al menos en el sentido de los grandes paradigmas de Naruto, este Opening viene a ser el que termina de cerrar un ciclo, en el que Kaguya se presenta como el villano definitivo.
Claro que, para hablar de Openings de Naruto, necesitaría escribir un libro entero. Casi todos son buenos, aunque estos para mí son los mejores. ¿Cuáles son tus favoritos?
Naruto es uno de los animes que he visto desde mi infancia y que, sin duda, ha quedado grabado en mi memoria. Más que una simple historia de ninjas, hay todo un universo de nostalgia, aventura y personajes con trasfondos profundos... algo que los openings logran captar muy bien.

Finally Tsugumi understands that Hokkaido is not merely a ground where he is going to study but where he has new relations experiences and a flavor of new life. His moments with Fuyu turn out to be the happiest in his life.
My Explanation
Hokkaido Gals Yuister Cute And our series or romantic comedy anime is named is a sweet warm and funny show that provides the audience with a warm fuzzy feeling of love and laughter. To a large extent the story is concerned with the interaction between individuals representing two cultures and two ways of life and their development and attraction to the other. Though it is mostly represented as an anime of the so called genre of gal, it is not just a fashion or look related matter but a matter of feelings and friendship of the characters. The anime is a beautiful illustration of the way two individuals who are not used to each other get accustomed to the lives of the other person. Tsubasa finds it hard to cope with the severe winters of Hokkaido the culture of the place, and the school but with the assistance of Minami and her friends she starts feeling more comfortable. Tsubasa is confident because of the lively and relaxing smile of Minami. Conversely Tsubasa is cool headed and honest which adds to the stability of life of Minami. Animation is one of the strongest sides of the anime. The snowy Hokkaido The view the bright colors of the costumes the facial expressions of the characters everything is depicted so bright that an audience may lose themselves in the story easily. Specifically the dressing make up and attitude that Minami has is a true reflection of the Hokkaido gal culture.
Characters are developed superbly as well. At the very beginning Minami may appear to be an ordinary stereotypical gal but as the story unveils it turns out that she is a friendly generous and supporting friend. Tsubasa offers another form of warmth into her life. The supporting characters are also others which are somewhat funny and heartwarming and they introduce humor and pathos in the story. The anime is written in such a way that none of the humor seems contrived. The unscrupulous nature of Minami the shy moments of Tsubasa and the minor misunderstandings they shared are nothing short of making the viewer laugh yet helps one feel the advance of their relationship. The romantic relationship grows slowly and this enhances the reality of the story. On the whole Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable! is a light airy and likable anime that provides the viewer with an intimation of a warmer time of the year even when blizzarding in the snow of Hokkaido. The characters the fact that it looks pretty the fact that it feels natural in its romance and the slice of life feel of the characters make it worthwhile to experience. This is certainly advised to the readers who seek a book full of humour romance and friendship.
That's it for today!I appreciate your time and attention. At the end of this post, you can comment and let me know how you liked my post and if you have any questions, I will try to answer them inshaAllah. I hope you like it. See you soon..
Sequels to movies are always eagerly awaited by all film fans, as many of them continue the story with a different twist or simply bring the story to a close, and this is something that has happened recently with second or third installments of productions that surprise us with everything they do to create something of such high quality. That's why, once again, we have the continuation of a film that combines animation with comedy, which adds value and, above all, allows us to see the director's work in maintaining that essence and becoming one of the best films they have released, simply because it fulfills everything one looks for in films of this genre.
This is known as Bad Guys 2, and I was surprised to see this sequel, which shows that you can always give more and continue with a story that many of us liked from the start, combining animals and comedy, thus making it suitable for all ages. So once again, we follow the story of a group of animals who consider themselves bad guys and can do whatever they want, since nothing is impossible. Their way of seeing others shows personalities that some people also take on, but everything changes when the city now has a group of bad girls who also have the same rights and abilities, which will be a great battle, and this is where we ask ourselves, who will be worse, the guys or the girls? Something that will be resolved with a touch of humor and battles.
La secuela de las películas siempre serán muy esperadas por todos los fanáticos del cine, ya que muchas de ellas continúan con la historia con un toque distinto o simplemente para así darle fin a la historia y esto es algo que ha ocurrido en los últimos tiempos con segundas o tercera partes de producciones que uno queda sorprendido por lo todo lo que hacen para así poder armar algo de tanto nivel. Por eso una vez más llega la continuación de una película que combina la animación con la comedia y es algo que le aporta valor y sobre todo ver ese trabajo del director en mantener esa esencia y llegar a convertirse a una de las mejores películas que han sacado, por el mismo hecho de cumplir con todo lo que uno busca con películas de este género.
Esta es conocida como Tipos malos 2, donde me sorprendió ver esta segunda parte y eso demuestra que siempre se puede dar más y poder seguir con la historia que a muchos nos gustó desde el inicio, por combinar animales y comedia, logrando así que se adapte a todas las edades. Por eso una vez más seguimos la historia de un grupo de animales que se consideran tipos malos y puede hacer lo que ellos quieran, puesto que nada es imposible, su manera de ver a los demás y eso demuestra personalidades que también algunas personas llegan a tomar, sin embargo, todo cambia cuando ahora la ciudad cuenta con un grupo de tipas malas, que también tiene los mismos derechos y aptitudes, lo cual será toda una gran batalla y es aquí donde nos preguntamos ¿Quién será más malos los tipos o las tipas?, algo que con un toque de humor y batallas será irá resolviendo.
The film maintains the essence of all the positive aspects in order to make it much more exciting, as every minute is very well developed, allowing for the addition of certain new details that give the film a major twist, including much more shocking moments, such as how these animals have to face every situation, whether it be a fight or an argument, in order to continue living their lives as bad guys. By adding that combination of bad guys, everything starts to take another fun turn, and these are the kinds of surprises you don't expect from the film, since we all know the bad guys, but now the adventure, the decisions, and above all, proving who is better leads them to work in teams and combine their abilities to be the best, so that everyone can enjoy a good animated film, full of good things, and perhaps you can identify with skills that need to be changed.
La película mantiene esa gran esencia de cada una de las cosas positivas para así poder darle mucha más emoción, ya que cada minuto está muy bien desarrollado y de esa manera poder agregarle ciertos detalles nuevos que permite darle un gran giro a la película, incluyendo momentos de mucho más impactante, como tiene que enfrentar cada situación, ya sea de pelea o discusión que tengan que pasar estos animales para así poder seguir avanzando de su vida de tipos malos. Al agregarle esa combinación de tipas malas, todo comienza a tomar otro giro divertido y son ese tipo de sorpresas que uno no se espera de la película, ya que todos conocemos a los tipos malos, pero ahora la aventura, las decisiones y sobre todo demostrar quien son mejores los lleva a trabajar en equipos y poder unir capacidades para así ser los mejores y de esa manera todos pueda disfrutar de una buena película animada, cargada de cosas buenas y quizás puedas sentirse identificados con aptitudes que se deben cambiar.
Being a film of this style, and even more so a sequel, the animation and each of the effects used to recreate everything are very good, taking it all to another level, which allows everyone to see something of great impact and be left with a good memory of something well produced on such a scale as a film. Another thing that adds value to the film is that each of the characters are animals, and they show that they are living beings and have to be very careful to create a good impression. However, here it shows the opposite by being bad guys and they are the ones who decide. Even so, the wolf is one of my favorites, as well as when he is facing bad girls, everything changes and what you expect to see is what will happen, whether they will become friends or enemies.
Al ser una película de este estilo y más aún una segunda parte la animación y cada uno de los efectos que usaron para así poder recrear todo son muy buenos, llevando todo eso a otro nivel, la cual logra que todos puedas ver algo de gran impacto y quedar con un buen recuerdo de algo bien producido a esa escala como lo es una película. Otra de las cosas que le aporta valor a la entrega es que cada uno de los personajes sean animales y allí demostrar que son seres vivos y tiene que ser muy cuidados en el aspecto de crear una buena impresión, sin embargo, aquí demuestra lo contrario al ser tipos malos y ellos son los que deciden, aun así el lobo es uno de mis preferidos, como también al estar enfrentándose con tipas malas, todo cambia y uno lo que espera ver es que hará si se volverán amigos o enemigos.
It's a great result, and all that time between the first and second parts was worth it, since each one has its own story, its own adventures, and always that expression of being able to be bad in any situation that may arise, since fear will not be a problem in moving forward, but rather realizing that it doesn't matter if you're bad or good, everyone has the same abilities to achieve anything and become much more than just something. That's why it will be a great comedy, with laughter and watching that battle between the bad guys and the girls to leave their mark on the city.
Es un gran resultado y todo ese tiempo que existe entre la primera y esta segunda parte valió la pena, puesto que cada una cuenta con su historia, sus aventuras y siempre con esa expresión de poder ser malos ante cualquiera situación que pueda pasar, ya que el miedo no será un problema para salir adelante, si no darse cuenta de que no importa si eres malo o bueno, todos tienen las mismas capacidades para así poder lograr lo que sea y poder llegar a convertirse en mucho más que algo, por eso será una gran comedia, risas y ver esa batalla entre los tipos malos y las tipas para poder dejar su nombre en alto en la ciudad.
Again, I’m thankful for interactions that lead to mind blowing moments. I was down with malaria and cold, shivering yet hot, and just eager to crawl out of my skin, when my friend made arrangements to leave my hostel life to some place more comfortable, and in one of the many breaks where I was not fighting for my life, we decided to see a movie.
A Minecraft Movie (2025)
We begin with Steve whose dream has always been to be a miner. He fulfils this life-long dream, and stumbles on an Orb and the Earth Crystal that when combined opens a portal that transports him to the Overworld, a world made up of easily manipulated cubes. He ends up building his own little world there, and then stumbles on a portal that takes him to Nether, a hell-like world. From there, he is imprisoned by Malgosha, an evil sorceress. He sends his dog, Dennis, to hide the orb in his house back in the human world.
This house ends up being purchased by Garrett “Mr. Garbage Man,” a washed up video game champion who owns a failing video game store. And when Henry, a boy heavily passionate about robotics and art moves into town with his sister, Natalie, a world of adventure is opened to them. The five humans including Dawn, a real estate agent, and mobile-zoo owner, are set for a world of fun and adventure in the amazing Minecraft Universe.
My Thoughts and Rating
That plot summary was almost exhausting to write, but I think you may already guess that this is a fun, family-oriented film. I’ve never played Minecraft, even though I’ve heard and known about it since I was little. I know it’s about block-like worlds. I know all the amazing things you can build and own, courtesy of the various clips I watched growing up.
But I do not have that zest for it that would have made this a more passionate review, and I apologise. I am rating the entire movie based on what the movie is about, and not how it may or may not contrast with what playing an actual Minecraft game feels like.
So, yeah, I just want to compliment the scriptwriting. Whoever wrote it definitely had comedy in mind. In the purest form, and combined with the very stellar cast, it was pure gold. Loved the acting of Jack Black and Jason Mamoa. I’m not sure how to describe it but the two of them in a movie was not what I was expecting, and they still managed to make it comedy gold.
From the facial expressions, to their mannerisms and words, everything was tailored to make the audience laugh. And laugh, I did. The humour was top notch in this film. And even though a lot of scenes were predictable, because how would you not be able to predict a movie like this, I doubt it took away its novelty.
Something I would have liked to see is the ladies engaged in some real action. I didn’t like that the guys were traipsing to different worlds and cities while the ladies were there, with a building on the ready when they got injured to.... nurture them, was it? I don’t know. Just didn’t feel or get that part. Maybe if I saw how they made their little nurture-building, it would have eased the sting, but we weren’t gifted with even that, so their role in the movie for me just fell kind of flat. The overbearingly overprotective big sister, and the comic Black woman. Yeah, just epic.
So, other than this part above, its predictability, and a plot holes and discrepancies, this is actually a pretty chill movie. Had a lot of fun moments and funny scenes that I would love to see again. I guess that answers the question of if I’d want to see this movie again, especially in the company of my friend whose sense of humour is similar to mine, this movie is definitely a “must re-watch” for me. Giving it a good 6.5/10. You might hate the movie, but I hope you at least find something to love in it. Like I did.
Comencé viendo Heads of State porque quería algo que me distrajera la verdad no tenía la intención de que fuera increíble ni nada por el estilo y me sorprendió, quizás a muchos no les guste John Cena, a míi la verdad no me molesta pero he escuchado comentarios que no les gusta y no sé la razón porque a mí me parece que queda bien en películas comicas y cuando lo ves junto con Idris Elba quizás te parezca algo rato pero esta colaboracion si funciona y muy bien. La pelicula arranca con esa operacion en España que sale super mal donde aparentemente matan a todo el equipo de agentes incluyendo a Priyanka Chopra, pero después te das cuenta que ella sobrevivió y anda escondida por ahí. John Cena hace de Will Daringer que es un actor de películas de acción que se convirtió en presidente de Estados Unidos, algo que si suena super ridículo pero funciona porque el tipo no se toma en serio ni a si mismo ni por un segundo. Idris Elba es Sam Clark el primer ministro de Inglaterra y desde el principio puedes ver que estos dos no se soportan para nada, tienen ese estilo clásico de buddy cop donde uno es más serio y el otro es medio payaso pero los dos son buenos cuando la cosa se pone brava, la química entre estos dos actores es probablemente lo mejor de toda la peli porque se siente natural a pesar de que sus personajes vienen de mundos completamente diferentes.
La trama se comienza a poner buena cuando deciden que para mejorar sus relaciones publicas van a viajar juntos en el avión presidencial hacia Italia para una conferencia de la OTAN, pero obviamente todo sale mal cuando Victor Gradov que es el malo ruso interpretado por Paddy Considine decide atacar el avión con drones y lo tumba y entonces estos dos lideres mundiales terminan perdidos en Belarus sin ayuda y tienen que confiar el uno en el otro para sobrevivir, quizás es una historia un poco común pero te entretiene, además el malo también quiere venganza por algo que pasó en el pasado y esto tampoco es muy original. Lo que me gusta es que la película logra balancear muy bien la comedia con la acción porque no es algo que es forzado, cuando John Cena trata de impresionar a unos tipos de Belarus diciendoles que el es una estrella de películas famosa y que el cine es un lenguaje universal es super gracioso porque obviamente nadie lo reconoce y terminan dándoles una paliza a ambos, esos momentos de humor me parece que funcionan muy bien sin ser demasiado exagerados. También me gustó el trabajo que hace Idris Elba como el político británico que tiene más experiencia militar pero que tampoco es perfecto, hay una escena donde le dice a John Cena que arranque un árbol del suelo para golpearlo y obviamente Cena no puede hacerlo, son algunos momentos qu hacen que los personajes se sientan más humanos a pesar de estar en situaciones algo ridiculas.
Los efectos especiales y las secuencias de accion estan muy bien hechas y más considerando que fue hecha para streaming, la escena donde el avión se estrella me pareicó que estaba hecha de una manera muy convincente y las peleas se ven reales, no es solo CGI barato como otras películas que son de Amazon Prime. Otra cosa que me gustó bastante fue las escenas de persecución y los tiroteos, más cuando están corriendo por esos pueblos de Europa tratando de escapar de los malos. Priyanka Chopra aparece más adelante como Noel que es una agente del MI6 que los ayuda a llegar a Italia, su personaje tiene historia con Sam Clark y eso le da algo de emoción a la historia pero no es algo que se pone melodramática tipo novela, más bien me gusta porque ella también patea traseros bastante bien y no es que esta ahi solo de relleno o para ser el interés amoroso del protagonista. Jack Quaid aparece como un agente de la CIA que los encuentra en una casa segura en Polonia y ese tipo si es gracioso, esta super emocionado de conocer al presidente y al primer ministro como si fuera un fan obsesionado jajaja, esas escenas son frescas y ayudan a que la peli no se tome demasiado en serio a si misma. La direccion de Ilya Naishuller que ya habia hecho Nobody aquí es buena, me parece que mantiene un ritmo constante sin dejar que la pelicula se ponga aburrida, cada escena tiene una razón y nunca se ve como si estuvieran rellenando tiempo solo porque si.
Todas las actuaciones son buenas, John Cena demuestra que puede ser más que solo un luchador convertido en actor, me parece que queda bien en esas pelis comicas y sabe cuando ponerse serio cuando la situación lo necesite. Creo que lo mejor de Heads of State es que no trata de ser más profunda de lo necesario, es una película de acción con comedia que sabe exactamente qué quiere hacer y lo hace bien, todos supieron hacer un buen trabajo y hay suficiente acción para mantenerlo a uno interesado. Es una película de acción y comedia para pasar un buen rato y nunca trata de predicar sobre política o dar lecciones sobre relaciones internacionales, solo entretiene durante dos horas y me parece que lo logra muy bien. Otra cosa que me gusta es la música porque crea el ambiente correcto para cada escena y esos paisajes europeos en cada escena de acción se ven bien no parece nada barato. Hay algunas cosas de los diálogos que son super ridiculas y hasta pueden sonar super cringy pero funcionan porque Cena las dice de una forma que parecen creíbles. Hay algunos personajes que no se desarrollan mucho como Stephen Root que aparece como un hacker que trabaja para el malo pero después se arrepiente y aunque su actuacion es buena eso si me pareció como que estaba de más porque no va mas allá de ser el típico genio de computadoras que cambia de lado.
Me gustó Heads of State lo que ves es lo que es, una película de acción y comedia que entretiene y no trata de ser algo más, es perfecta para verla en casa cuando quieres algo ligero pero bien hecho, tiene suficiente acción para mantener la atención, suficiente comedia para que te rías, y suficiente corazón para que te importen los personajes. Yo le doy un 7/10 y si yo se que no va a ganar ningún Oscar ni va a cambiar el cine pero cumple con su objetivo de entretener, además que la química entre Cena y Elba puede hacer que exista una secuela si Amazon decide hacerla, porque se le puede sacar más a estos personajes y meterlos en otras situaciones peligrosas. Definitivamente la recomiendo si buscas algo entretenido para ver en una tarde de fin de semana sin tener que pensar demasiado, no va a cambiar tu vida pero si te va a hacer pasar un buen rato, yo creo que no te va a decepcionar y más si si eres fan de los actores principales que se nota que se divirtieron haciendo esta peli.
I started watching Heads of State because I wanted something to distract me, the truth is I didn't intend for it to be amazing or anything like that and I was surprised, maybe many don't like John Cena, I don't really mind but I've heard comments that they don't like him and I don't know the reason because I think he looks good in comedy movies and when you see him with Idris Elba maybe you think it's a bit long but this collaboration works and very well. The movie starts with that operation in Spain that goes super bad where apparently they kill the whole team of agents including Priyanka Chopra, but then you realize that she survived and is hiding out there. John Cena plays Will Daringer who is an action movie actor turned President of the United States, something that does sound super ridiculous but it works because the guy doesn't take himself seriously for a second. Idris Elba is Sam Clark the prime minister of England and from the beginning you can see that these two can't stand each other at all, they have that classic buddy cop style where one is more serious and the other is half clown but both are good when the going gets rough, the chemistry between these two actors is probably the best of the whole movie because it feels natural even though their characters come from completely different worlds.
The plot starts to get good when they decide that in order to improve their public relations they are going to travel together in the presidential plane to Italy for a NATO conference, but obviously everything goes wrong when Victor Gradov who is the Russian bad guy played by Paddy Considine decides to attack the plane with drones and knocks it down and then these two world leaders end up lost in Belarus without help and have to rely on each other to survive, maybe it's a bit of a common story but it entertains you, plus the bad guy also wants revenge for something that happened in the past and this is not very original either. What I like is that the movie manages to balance very well the comedy with the action because it is not something that is forced, when John Cena tries to impress some guys from Belarus telling them that he is a famous movie star and that cinema is a universal language is super funny because obviously nobody recognizes him and they end up beating them both up, those moments of humor seem to me to work very well without being too exaggerated. I also liked the work Idris Elba does as the British politician who has more military experience but is not perfect either, there is a scene where he tells John Cena to pull a tree out of the ground to hit him and obviously Cena can't do it, these are some moments that make the characters feel more human despite being in somewhat ridiculous situations.
The special effects and action sequences are very well done and even more considering it was made for streaming, the scene where the plane crashes I thought it was done in a very convincing way and the fights look real, it's not just cheap CGI like other movies that are from Amazon Prime. Another thing I liked quite a bit was the chase scenes and the shootouts, more so when they are running around those towns in Europe trying to escape the bad guys. Priyanka Chopra appears later on as Noel who is an MI6 agent who helps them get to Italy, her character has history with Sam Clark and that gives some excitement to the story but it's not something that gets melodramatic soap opera type stuff, I rather like it because she also kicks ass pretty good and it's not like she's there just for filler or to be the love interest of the main character. Jack Quaid shows up as a CIA agent who finds them in a safe house in Poland and that guy is funny, he's super excited to meet the president and the prime minister like he's an obsessed fan hahaha, those scenes are cool and help the movie not take itself too seriously. The direction by Ilya Naishuller who had already done Nobody here is good, I find it keeps a steady pace without letting the movie get boring, every scene has a reason and it never looks like they are filling time just because.
All the performances are good, John Cena shows that he can be more than just a wrestler turned actor, I think he looks good in those comedy movies and knows when to get serious when the situation needs it. I think the best thing about Heads of State is that it doesn't try to be any deeper than it needs to be, it's an action movie with comedy that knows exactly what it wants to do and does it well, everyone knew how to do a good job and there's enough action to keep you interested. It's a good time action comedy movie and it never tries to preach about politics or give lessons on international relations, it just entertains for two hours and I think it does that very well. Another thing I like is the music because it creates the right mood for each scene and those European landscapes in every action scene look good it doesn't look cheap at all. There are some things in the dialogue that are super ridiculous and may even sound super cringy but they work because Cena says them in a way that they seem believable. There are some characters that are not developed much like Stephen Root who appears as a hacker who works for the bad guy but then regrets it and although his acting is good that seemed to me like he was over the top because he doesn't go beyond being the typical computer genius who switches sides.
I liked Heads of State what you see is what it is, an action/comedy movie that entertains and doesn't try to be anything else, it's perfect to watch at home when you want something light but well done, it has enough action to keep your attention, enough comedy to make you laugh, and enough heart to make you care about the characters. I give it a 7/10 and yes I know it's not going to win any Oscars or change cinema but it fulfills its goal of entertaining, plus the chemistry between Cena and Elba can make a sequel exist if Amazon decides to make it, because you can get more out of these characters and get them into other dangerous situations. I definitely recommend it if you are looking for something entertaining to watch on a weekend afternoon without having to think too much, it will not change your life but it will make you have a good time, I think you will not be disappointed and even more if you are a fan of the main actors that you can tell they had fun making this movie.
I was on MovieBox the other day downloading movies to watch during the weekend when I saw the animated movie Wondla. An unusual title that I went on to download anyway while keeping my fingers crossed and hoping not to have a boring watch or regret my decision.
For this review, the plot will be discussed side by side with my thoughts on the movie, while I try not to give too many spoilers lol.
So, after watching the movie, one question that was raised in my mind was, what do you do when all you've been told or indoctrinated with from childhood was all a lie? Well, this question is about the story of the character Eva Nine, who happened to be a human clone raised in a bunker by a Multi Utility Task Help Robot called the MUTHR unit.
For over a decade, Eva Nine lived alone with MUTHR, as the other children who were cloned alongsideher couldn't make it past the embryo stage. What happened was that the lab was compromised upon the fleeing of humans to safety. Apparently, the living condition of Earth deteriorated drastically, causing it to collapse and become unfit for human existence.
The bunker, or sanctuary as it was called, was meant to house and protect humans in their most challenging times. Unfortunately, things got complicated again, and they had to flee.
As Eva turned 16, curiosity got the best of her as she went on to explore an unauthorized area of the bunker. It was during her exploration that she saw details of other children and a note written, "Find me, Eva." Out of excitement, she attracted the attention of a predator who attacked the bunker, and Eva was forced to flee to safety while Muthr held off the predator Besteel so she could escape.
TRAILER
Before I go on with my thoughts on this movie, I'm rating it a 10/10. Although it started as a really boring watch, which made me go see the trailer to confirm I wasn't wasting my time. After which I became patient as I watched the movie unfold.
One quick lesson to grab from this movie is determination. Although the Eva Nine character was annoying, I admired her bravery. I loved how she stood up to Besteel, which eventually took her to Solas, where she came a step closer to unraveling what happened to earth and humanity.
It should be worth noting that before her confrontation with Besteel, she and MUTHR finally got a family to accommodate them, of which MUTHR tried persuading her to call off her quest. I watched Eva play the rebellious teenager, and this caused a rift between her and MUTHR as she stormed out.
It was an ugly scene, and I felt she went too far reminding MUTHR that she's a robot meant to assist her with tasks and not her mother to have a say in life.
While I misunderstood the Eva character at first as selfish, I later saw as the story unraveled that she was just a girl who needed answers.
Basically every action she took was rash and reckless, but what could be expected of a teenager who lived her entire life with the false promises that her family and other humans were waiting for her on the surface, only to discover that there is a possibility that she might be the last human on earth?
A really interesting watch, I must say, especially given how beautifully the values of friendship and family were portrayed. This we saw from the bond that Eva created with MUTHR and the aliens Rovender and Otto regardless of their life forms.
If you would be interested in this movie, it's a two-season incomplete movie with a rather sad and provoking end.
I do hope that we get a third season because we, the viewers, deserve that much.

Bienvenidos cinéfilos de Hive, el día de hoy les vengo a dar mi opinión sobre "Hasta El Hueso", una pelicula sobre anorexia, bulimia, así que todos aquellos tengan cuidado en verla, ya que puede ser muy difícil de ver por los temas tan delicados que toca. Desde ya es una pelicular increíble, con trastornos muy complicados de trabajar y ni hablamos de vivirlos, la protagonista y otros pacientes toman un protagonismo excepcional frente a sus vivencias crudas, espero que puedan disfrutarla, vuelvo a reiterar el cuidado que deben tener al verla si sufrieron, conocen a alguien que la sufre.
Welcome, Hive moviegoers! Today I'm here to give my opinion on "To the Bone," a film about anorexia and bulimia. Everyone should be careful when watching it, as it can be very difficult due to the sensitive topics it touches on. It's already an incredible film, about very complicated disorders to work with, let alone experience. The protagonist and other patients take on an exceptional role in their raw experiences. I hope you enjoy it. I reiterate the caution you should take when watching it if you've suffered from it or know someone who does.
Esta pelicula cuenta la historia de Ellen, quien luego de estar internada vuelve a la casa de su padre, madrastra y hermanastra, quienes la acompañan (El padre nunca aparece) en su momento de cambio, intentando hacer que coma y se logre alimentar con lo que necesita para una vida saludable, producto de su trastorno que es cosa conocida dentro de el, tiene problemas dentro de lo vincular, haciendo que sea muy difícil la socialización, pero que si se logra, seria un paso menos en el proceso de mejoramiento.
This film tells the story of Ellen, who after being hospitalized returns to the home of her father, stepmother and stepsister, who accompany her (The father never appears) in her moment of change, trying to make her eat and manage to feed herself with what she needs for a healthy life, as a result of her disorder, which is something known within him, he has problems within the bonding, making socialization very difficult, but if it is achieved, it would be one less step in the process of improvement.
No es comedia, pero como la primera imagen, cuenta con "Humor Negro", entremete como toma la realidad del problema para enfatizar la gravedad, logramos con la protagonista meternos en su vida, la cual padece desde ya conocida "la familia disfuncional" como mencione antes, del padre ausente, una madrastra que hace lo posible, y una madre con "sus propios problemas" sin juzgar claro esta nada de lo dicho anteriormente.
It is not a comedy, but like the first image, it has "Black Humor", it interjects how it takes the reality of the problem to emphasize the seriousness, we manage to get into the life of the protagonist, which suffers from the already known "dysfunctional family" as I mentioned before, of the absent father, a stepmother who does her best, and a mother with "her own problems" without judging of course anything said above.
Como es la problemática principal podemos presenciar momentos frenéticos al momento de la comida, la madrastra trayendo una torta (en forma de hamburguesa), que cuando la vi me quede anonadado, ya que no ayuda mucho al trastorno alimenticio que la protagonista padece, frente a esto, chistes de llamar a la sala del comedor como "la sala de la tortura", una vez internada con otros pacientes de trastornos similares, pero también ese mismo acompañamiento que los pacientes necesitan, verse en otros que la padecen para poder agudizar la profundidad del mismo y, a su vez, poder combatirlo. Puede ser diferente como se logra mejorar la vida de estos, depende de la personalidad de la persona, la base familiar en la cual se apoya, hay muchos aspectos en los cuales vinculamos la problemática, pero esta pelicular logra enfatizarla 10/10.
As it is the main problem, we can witness frantic moments at mealtime, the stepmother bringing a cake (in the shape of a hamburger), which when I saw it I was stunned, since it does not help much with the eating disorder that the protagonist suffers from, in front of this, jokes about calling the dining room as "the torture room", once admitted with other patients with similar disorders, but also that same accompaniment that patients need, seeing themselves in others who suffer from it in order to sharpen the depth of it and, in turn, be able to combat it. It can be different how it manages to improve the lives of these, it depends on the personality of the person, the family foundation on which they are supported, there are many aspects in which we link the problem, but this film manages to emphasize it 10/10.
En la socialización en el centro que se interna conoce a gente con su problemática similar, y logra encontrar a alguien que intenta mas que solo conocerse, aunque no se logra mas que eso, si toca una fibra buena en ella, su despedida de la casa fue frenética, una paciente vomitaba en una bolsa que escondía bajo la cama, ya que contaba con mucha seguridad, pocas puertas, horas estrictas y presencia en la mesa a la hora de comer y en esa hora los baños se cerraban con llave para que no la vomite. Estas cosas son esenciales en estos trastornos, el acompañar y ser pacientes en los tiempos, el obligarlos a realizar otras cosas suele ser mucho mas insoportable, hay que respetar la individualidad de los pacientes.

Esta fue una de mis escenas favoritas, en la cual la madre le cuenta con mucha angustia que se siente culpable de lo que padece su hija, la madre a los 11/12 años dejo a su padre para estar con la mejor amiga, frente a esto y la búsqueda de su felicidad cree la madre que es su culpa, y este emotivo momento hace que su hija le pida que la alimente, cuando vemos esta escena no pude evitar que se me cayera la lagrima. Una pelicula muy buena, que sin dudarlo se las recomiendo, como tercera advertencia, tengan cuidado porque toca temas muy dificiles de digerir, asi que sin mas, disfruten🌷
This was one of my favorite scenes, in which the mother tells her with great anguish that she feels guilty about what her daughter is suffering, the mother at 11/12 years old left her father to be with her best friend, faced with this and the search for her happiness the mother believes it is her fault, and this emotional moment makes her daughter ask her to feed her, when we see this scene I could not help but shed tears. A very good movie, which I recommend without hesitation, as a third warning, be careful because it touches on very difficult topics to digest, so without further ado, enjoy🌷
