Seven Snipers Review
I love sniper movies; when I was young, I wanted to enlist in the army to be one, which is why I never miss any related stories. I've always felt they are decisive when it comes to deciding a combat, and that's usually what we see in the movies—a man with extraordinary skills like intelligence, stealth, patience, good observation, etc.

Sniper movies usually tell the story of a lone operative facing an enemy that outnumbers and out-resources them. When I read the title and saw that it was about seven, I immediately thought it would be great, plus I found it very original that this time the role was played by an actress. The story begins with Chris (Radha Mitchell) on a farm with her teenage daughter Anja (Annabel Wolfe), target shooting while receiving advice from her mother.

Anja is rebellious and skips school, spending the night away from home with her boyfriend. Chris receives a visit from a man whose attitude she doesn't like, so she confronts him and ends up killing him. This is where we learn that Chris is a retired sniper from the Australian army who is being hunted by a man nicknamed the Dragon. Upon finding out she's been tracked down, Chris calls her old unit for help; two of them respond accompanied by 3 new soldiers.

So far so good; the premise, although packed with clichés, worked well. However, it only takes a few minutes to realize this is the kind of movie where secondary characters are just filler—less than an NPC—because, boom, in a matter of seconds, their heads are blown off, leaving the main characters alone once again, with no chance for any other character to develop.

Not to mention the script; it's full of long silences where it looks like something is going to be said, but the character just turns around and starts doing something else. They left no room for drama, something that could have been exploited much better—come on, they're snipers holed up in a house, besieged by a super-soldier! They should be scared shitless, which some of them say in a few lines but don't reflect in their acting. Add to that the mediocre development of the action choreography and tactical movements—how they aim, how they hold their weapons, how they position themselves—you can tell preparation was lacking.

The only redeeming quality is the character of the Dragon, played by Tim Roth. For me, he does a good job; it reminded me of the soldier character he played in the 2008 movie The Incredible Hulk, where you can see he's really committed to the role. He transmits that same energy in Seven Snipers; even though he's the antagonist, his stage presence and sniper tactics are convincing, and at times they keep you from abandoning the movie and make you stay to see how the story ends.

House of the Dragon (2022): Unbowed and Unbent - S03E05 - RECAP
Source

https://i.ibb.co/kswCBVtX/08a5882fde95.pngUnbowed and Unbent was such a good episode because how much context it gave, not only for the present time of the series but also how it connects with previous events, also because Rhaenyra and Daemon spend the episode arguing about the wrong danger while Ormund Hightower is already working them over from inside Kings Landing. Rhaenyra can feel something bigger coming for her, she even says out loud that the enemy is inside her own walls, but she is so locked onto Aemond and Vhagar she never points at Ormund as the one actually running this, they blind thinking that he is far on Tumbleton. Daemon reads the city better than she does and still treats her fear like grief and weakness instead of admitting she is onto something real, and that leaves both of them partly right and still losing. Their marriage is not helping and not working because Daemon thinks power alone should settle every challenge to her claim while she wants a partner who takes the rumors about her sons seriously, I have to agree with Daemon that every other claim to the throne must be exterminated because Rhaenyra wont take the throne so easily, there will always be some kind of danger because she is a woman taking the throne. They got this cool private argument in High Valyrian, probably the longest conversation in High Valyrian the show has given us so far, Rhaenyra is losing her grip and Daemon is tired of letting revenge call every shot, Daemon feels they got to move forward with this war and stop loosing time looking back at what has been lost and trying to make justice, also Daemon knows a secret plot can bring down a ruler. The dead Gold Cloaks, unpaid men and growing anger in the city should tell him that something is wrong, yet he dismisses Rhaenyra’s fear that one enemy is working against them, even while investigating the killings himself. Everything start making sense when the Daeron coin shows up while interrogating a man that had to do with the Gold Cloaks killing, this finally points to Ormund, it only confirms that Ormund has been one step ahead of them the entire time.

Ormund is the best part of the episode because he does not need a dragon or a battlefield win to make Rhaenyra look weak. Paying killers with coins stamped with Daeron as king is smart, especially with her own Gold Cloaks going unpaid and it does more than name Daeron as another claim to the throne, it tells everyone Ormund has money, the Faith behind him and a prince he can put forward as the safer option, this is the first time that Ormund puts Daeron out there to the public as a legitimate claim to the throne and not just playing his part in the army for the Greens. Rhaenyra has more dragons but Ormund gets that dragons do not fix unpaid soldiers or stop people wanting a different ruler, most of the small folk. His lesson with Daeron tells you how his brain works, he praises the Dornish for surviving through tricks and patience and fights that ignored every normal idea of honor, he does not care if it was right, only that it worked, reminds me of Serisawa "there are no rules in violence", which makes it even better when Daeron beats him at the game with the dragon piece exposing how thin Ormund patience is, specially since he is a bad looser. I also like that Daeron does not seem hungry for the throne, careful around Ormund and quick to apologize for winning, which makes the coin plot feel worse because Ormund is not building Daeron up for Daeron, he is using that face to give the campaign a cleaner look while other men do the killing, Daeron would be Ormund puppet king if he ever takes the throne.

Rhaenyra gets harder to root for here because grief has narrowed her focus despite evertyhing that is happening around, even while she understands her rule is in danger for the simple fact she is a woman taking the throne by force. The bounty on Aemond has pulled killers to Harrenhal but it has also blown up in her face with Lady Frey, who was promised that castle by Jace, its hilarious on this scene how Rhaenyra throw poor dead Jace under the bus when she said "my son is dead", like his word means nothing if he is dead so Lady Frey is getting no castle. Giving her a council seat is the right quick fix, but the meeting still feels like a mess with Rhaenyra steering everything back to Vhagar when there are much more important topics. She is not wrong to want Aemond dead, and Baela and Addam finding signs of Vhagar gives her reason to keep hunting, but she is using it to dodge everything else that needs patience instead of revenge. There is also this situation where she kinda keeps dodging seeing Joffrey and thats says a lot about her mental state, she has already lost two sons and seeing him hurts, but making him wait while she handles every political fire makes it look like the war is eating the rest of her family too. Baela feels that same distance since Jace died, still trying to prove her worth to Rhaenyra after the part she played in the battle that killed him, and Rhaenyra should understand that guilt better than anyone but barely has room to notice it, she doesnt openly says it was Baela fault but the truth is that Baela couldnt safe Jace. This is why Daemon refusing to fall in line, following every Rhaenyra's order that follows vengence is both annoying and needed, someone has to tell no to this woman, he disrespects her in front of the council, but he is also the only one close enough to tell her she is going to sink this ship with her grief and vengence plans.

Aegon as a character is starting to grow a lot and it really gives me the impression that the show is going to turn him around drastically to the point that we might root for him at certain point, because Larys finally stops feeding his excuses and tells him the truth. Aegon keeps blaming Aemond for everything, and some of that anger is fair, but his childhood complaints are just another way to dodge responsibility since he had the crown, a powerful dragon and people around him the whole time. Larys calling him a terrible king and a terrible man is exactly what he needed instead of sympathy that would keep him stuck, it does look like both Aegon and Larys are starting to touch the bottom. Aegon accepting the escape plan shows the words of Larys have landed, but for some reason didnt steer him to become a better man as he decides to kill the man who found his crown who on top is the one runnig the camp they in, honestly he just seem more active and with less pain, it is progress but only changes him from the outside and not the inside as Larys suggested. Aemond has the opposite problem at Harrenhal, without Vhagar he falls apart and admits how much of his personality is nothing without Vhagar, as a kid he always felt like that and was threated like that, even as a grown man he was humilated by Aegon back on Season 2 when he was a that brothel, and his dreams about Aegon and need for comfort from Alys make him look weaker without erasing what he has done, if only Rhaenyra knew all this about Aemond. I like the parallel scenes here, both brothers think Alicent loved the other more, both desperate for someone to tell them who they are. Helaena refusing the moon tea is another version of that fight over control, Alicent wants to end the pregnancy to save her, but Helaena will not give up the one thing that still belongs to her, at that scene I was like "dont do it" because then it would change drastically things in the future.

The end of the episode was so so crispy spicy when Criston Cole gave us his saddest moments because his clever plan turns into a march he already knows his men cannot survive, they even mention how they only have half of the man they started with, some have deserted and others dead. His attacks slow the Rivermen at first but once the traps cripple the horses so badly his own men have to put them down, and the Rivermen cross first and burn the bridge behind them, the mission is over, they got no food, no coin, way less men, the only thing that Criston is holding to is his "honor" and that someone will remember his doing during this war, as he describe himself as the greatest warrior this army has, referring to the Green's army. Gwayne offers the smart way out, joining Ormund at Tumbleton, but Criston says no, winning is not really the goal anymore, he wants to die in battle and be remembered as a great warrior, maybe get a song written about him. I get why he does not want to serve another house after a life spent depending on powerful people who could toss him aside, but marching his soldiers toward certain death for that reason is still selfish, he is picking his own ending and making them pay for it. That is basically the whole episode, everyone from Rhaenyra to Criston is trying to grab back control by making someone else carry the cost, Ormund is just better at hiding it, the Gold Cloak murders prove how far ahead he already is, and Alicent and Helaena trapped in that secret passage is one more problem waiting to blow up. Even though this episode spends more time setting up the next round of fights than delivering one, still create so many small scenarios that add so much intensity to the bigger problems, its the political moves that are strong enough to carry that, it makes Ormund the real threat, gives Aegon a reason to move again, and leaves Rhaenyra and Daemon in a weaker spot than ever because they still cannot agree on what they are even fighting.

[Movie] Hellaro (2019) Where Freedom Began with a Single Voice

source

It is a tale of a village, which hasn't seen rain in ages. It is a village where the women do not have any value other than being used for pleasure and domestic help. They cannot even wear clothes according to their choice, nor can they talk to their widowed friends. To educate a woman is hazardous in this village because, as per the belief of these men, once a woman gets educated beyond second grade, she becomes rebellious.

This is the tale of a young and beautiful city girl educated till the seventh grade marrying into this village and starting an underground revolution among the women there. This is what makes the story of this film special. And no—not yet; I have not said the idea behind this film yet because telling this would rob you of the experience of viewing this masterpiece.

This is not a South Indian film. This is a film in Gujarati. In fact, it is safe to say that I doubt whether 99% of people know about the existence of the Gujarati cinema industry. Yet they have given us a movie of such calibre that one cannot believe.

There has been news about Ajay Devgn planning to remake this movie. But after watching the movie, I think that some stories do not deserve to be remade. It is impossible for the magic created through storytelling, cinematography and the mesmerizing dance moves of women to the hypnotic beat of the traditional drum to be captured by Bollywood or even Hollywood.

This is pure cinematic experience, which would leave you with many questions and answers.

This film is in dedication to those women, who till date, have to bear the burden of these harsh customs and traditions.

This film is in dedication to those women, who are free to dance whenever they want to and wear whatever they want.

This film is for all the women. ❤️

This film has deeply moved me. It's beautiful and, at the same time, heartbreaking because of what it denounces. For those of us who live in countries under dictatorial regimes, these stories resonate powerfully because, although we come from different cultures, we have all been ruled by despicable people who have only destroyed everything.

The film is set in the early nineties, during the Iraq War. When that wretch Saddam Hussein ruled and kept his people indoctrinated to see him as a deity. Meanwhile, ordinary people, those living in the most disadvantaged areas, are the ones who suffer the consequences of the trade embargo caused by the war.

The film shows corruption at every level. From elementary school teachers capable of stealing an apple from a little girl who has nothing else to eat, because these regimes end up bringing out the worst in human nature. To corruption in hospitals, where you have to pay to receive treatment. It all seemed so similar to my reality in my country. Where everything is a breeding ground for corruption and people devour each other. And I've never been in favor of that absurd notion that there are more good people than bad, not even now, when my country has suffered a natural disaster and there was and is a lot of help from ordinary people, but there are also many who do business amidst the chaos and destruction.

As an anecdote, I'll tell you that the wretch who caused my country's misfortunes was once an ally of Saddam Hussein and even visited him; both all-powerful with their people at their feet. Both are now in hell. It's a shame that the one from my country didn't suffer the same fate as Hussein, hanging like a mangy dog. That's how all those who have done so much harm should end up.

Getting back to the film. The story is about Lamia, a girl who has to bake a cake to take to school to celebrate President Saddam Hussein's birthday. By law, everyone had to celebrate his birthday; anyone who didn't would be punished with prison or even death. Lamia lives alone with her grandmother; her parents have passed away, her grandmother is very old, and she has no money. The little girl then embarks on a quest to find the ingredients to bake a cake for the president, who lives in opulence and wealth while his people starve, forced to bake cakes.

Through Lamia's innocent eyes, the filmmaker shows us the worst of a society that owes absolute obedience to its leader. The great success of this story lies in showing all the horrors, but with the light of childlike innocence. I can't tell you everything that happens, all the dangers and misfortunes that Lamia will have to endure to try to achieve her goal, but the film's final scene will break your heart.

I read in an article that the filmmaker had many problems during the filming of this movie; that's another reason why those who haven't seen it should take the time to watch it. There are stories that deserve to be told and seen, and without a doubt, this is one of them.

Leave your opinion in the comments.

Esta película me ha conmovido profundamente. Es hermosa y, a la vez, desgarradora por lo que denuncia. Para quienes vivimos en países bajo regímenes dictatoriales, estas historias resuenan con fuerza, porque aunque seamos de culturas diferentes, hemos sido gobernados por unos desgraciados que solo han destruido todo.

La película se ambienta a principios de los noventa, durante la guerra de Irak. Cuando ese desgraciado de Saddam Hussein gobernaba y mantenía a su pueblo adoctrinado para que lo vieran como una deidad. Mientras tanto, la gente común, los que viven en las zonas más desfavorecidas, son quienes sufren las consecuencias del embargo comercial provocado por la guerra.

La película muestra la corrupción en todos los niveles. Desde maestros de primaria capaces de robarle una manzana a una niña que no tiene nada más que comer, porque estos regímenes acaban sacando lo peor de la naturaleza humana. Hasta la corrupción en los hospitales, donde hay que pagar para recibir tratamiento. Todo me parecía tan similar a mi realidad en mi país. Donde todo es un caldo de cultivo para la corrupción y la gente se devora entre sí. Y nunca he estado a favor de ese discurso absurdo de que hay más gente buena que mala, ni siquiera ahora, cuando mi país ha sufrido una tragedia natural y hubo y hay mucha ayuda de la gente común, pero también hay muchos que hacen negocios en medio del caos y la destrucción.

Como anécdota, les diré que el miserable que causó las desgracias de mi país fue en su día aliado de Saddam Hussein e incluso lo visitó; ambos todopoderosos con su pueblo a sus pies. Ambos están ahora en el infierno. Es una pena que el de mi país no haya corrido la misma suerte que Hussein, colgado como un perro sarnoso. Así es como deberían acabar todos los que han hecho tanto daño.

Volviendo a la película. La historia trata sobre Lamia, una niña que tiene que hacer un pastel para llevar al colegio y celebrar el cumpleaños del presidente Saddam Hussein. Por ley, todos debían celebrar su cumpleaños; quien no lo hiciera sería castigado con cárcel o incluso la muerte. Lamia vive sola con su abuela; sus padres han fallecido, su abuela es muy anciana y no tiene dinero. La niña emprende entonces una búsqueda para encontrar los ingredientes para hornear un pastel para el presidente, mientras este vivía en la opulencia y la riqueza, mientras su pueblo moría de hambre, obligado a hornear pasteles.

A través de la mirada inocente de Lamia, el cineasta nos muestra lo peor de una sociedad que debe obediencia absoluta a su líder. El gran éxito de esta historia reside en mostrar todos los horrores, pero con la luz de la inocencia infantil. No puedo contarles todo lo que sucede, todos los peligros y desgracias que Lamia tendrá que soportar para intentar lograr su objetivo, pero la escena final de la película les romperá el corazón.

Leí en un artículo que el cineasta tuvo muchos problemas durante el rodaje de esta película; esa es otra razón por la que quienes no la conozcan deberían tomarse un tiempo para verla. Hay historias que merecen ser contadas y vistas, y sin duda, esta es una de ellas.

Déjame tu opinión en los comentarios.

TV · on The Madness 80
The Madness | Review [ENG-ESP]
Source

When a series premieres on Netflix, as a viewer, you’re looking for something different—something that, when you watch the first episode, leaves you intrigued about what will happen next. Many series in recent years have achieved this, and that’s exactly what happened with The Madness. This is one of those series packed with action, chases, and conspiracies; however, as the story unfolds, everything changes, revealing that all of us in this life are driven by manipulation and fear—especially when something bad happens, and even more so when we’re suspected of a crime.

Cuando se estrena una serie en Netflix, uno como espectador busca algo distinto y cuando uno mire el primer episodio poder quedar con la intriga de saber que pasará y muchas series en estos últimos años lo han conseguido y eso fue lo que ocurrió con la serie The Madness. Esta es una de esas series llenas de acción, de persecuciones y conspiraciones, sin embargo, a medida que se va desarrollando todo va cambiando y demuestra que todas las personas en esta vida vivimos de la manipulación y el miedo, cuando se trata de algo malo y más aún al ser un sospechoso de un crimen.

Source

The series consists of a single season and follows the life of Muncie Daniels, who decides to take a break; however, everything changes when a dead body is found, leading us to wonder: How did that happen? Will they believe the truth? And many other questions that come to mind. This is a great concept, as the series builds up a good pace, and episode after episode, pieces of the puzzle are revealed so that by the end, the whole picture comes together. But doubt, uncertainty, and fear also creep in, since being in a situation like that is far from easy—especially when lives are at stake.

The plot moves forward, and a full-fledged investigation unfolds; however, there’s a lot of filler and lengthy dialogue, which slows things down—though there’s always a new twist that shifts the entire pace. Another highlight of this series is Colman Domingo’s performance. He plays a compelling character with a strong personality, but one who is falling apart on the inside; throughout the series, he comes across as confused, exhausted, and making decisions just to get by.

La serie cuenta con una sola temporada y nos presenta la vida de Muncie Daniels quien decide tomarse un descanso, sin embargo, todo cambia cuando se encuentra un cadáver y eso nos lleva a preguntarnos ¿Cómo apareció eso?, ¿Podrán creer la verdad? Y muchas otras cosas que se piensa. Esta es una gran idea, ya que la serie va tomando un buen ritmo y a la vez episodio tras episodio se puede ir descubriendo piezas para que al final ese rompecabezas pueda armarse, pero también aparece la duda, la incertidumbre y el miedo, puesto que estar en una situación como esa no es nada fácil y más aún cuando la vida está en riesgo.

La trama avanza, se crea toda una investigación, sin embargo, cuenta con mucho relleno, diálogos extensos y eso hace que se vuelva lenta, aunque siempre sale un nuevo giro y cambia todo el ritmo. Otras de las cosas valiosas de esta serie es la actuación de Colman Domingo, siendo un personaje muy bueno con una personalidad fuerte, pero que por dentro se está destruyendo, como también a lo largo de la serie se nota confundido, cansado y tomando decisiones para poder salir adelante.

I really liked the outcome of this season of The Madness, which has so much more to offer and has the potential to take the thriller genre to new heights. While the tension remains constant, the series conveys a rather profound message and invites us to reflect on trust, our own capabilities, and just how fragile the truth can be when fear begins to take over everything. So if you’re looking for a show full of mystery, conspiracies, and suspense, this series will be perfect for you.

Me gusto mucho el resultado de esta serie de The Madness, donde la serie tiene mucho más para dar y llevar este género de thriller a la cima, ya que se mantiene corta la tensión, sin embargo, cuenta con un mensaje bastante profundo y nos invita a reflexionar sobre la confianza, la capacidad que uno puede tener y lo frágil que puede ser la verdad cuando el miedo comienza a dominarlo todo. Por eso si buscas una producción llena de misterio, conspiraciones y tensión, esta serie será perfectamente para ti.

Movie · on Tightrope 74
Tightrope-Review
Clint Eastwood is a police detective that finds himself walking on a tightrope.

In fact, it is a red ribbon that a serial killer uses to strangle his victims.

In-between two worlds

Wes Block (Clint Eastwood) is a divorced police detective who lives with his two young kids.

While on duty, he has to deal with underworld figures on a regular basis.

Mixing with those people involves the risk of becoming one of them at the end, without even realizing it.

He enforces the law, but he is not above the law himself.

How can he justify those dealings to his young children who have already started asking him about things?

Creeping corruption

Corruption is a problem in the police force, and it takes a strong character to stay unaffected when faced with temptations on duty every day, or to be more precise, every night.

Alright, a policeman is a human being with weaknesses, but unless he can fight those weaknesses, how can he enforce the law on other people who are supposed to violate it?

Dealing with revenge

Police officers often face the risk of people who want to take revenge on them.

This could be because they have sent those people to jail in the past, and bad feelings can lurk for years.

When the opportunity arises, crooks won’t miss it, and revenge is a dish best served cold, as the saying goes.

It is a popular theme in movies, and it has been used by many screenwriters.

What makes this theme unique is an element of surprise and mystery.

This lack of evidence and motivations heightens the mystery and is what captivates the viewers’ attention.

The train scene

The final train scene, where Wes Block finishes the serial killer, reminds me of similar scenes in western films.

The only thing missing is gunfire exchanged between bandits and law enforcers.

Otherwise, train movement creates an ideal setting for unpredictable situations, where a hunter and his prey can change roles in an instant, and events can take an unforeseen turn.

Forensic pathology and crime investigation

In this movie, the role of a forensic pathologist in assisting crime investigation is valuable, to say the least.

Without precious help from a knowledgeable forensic pathologist, our police detective would not be able to go very far to shedding light on the conditions of death of the killer’s victims.

It’s those unnoticed details that only an experienced and trained eye can trace, which make a difference, when it comes solving a crime.

I guess movies like this one have contributed a lot to motivating young people to follow a career in forensics.

The right woman at the right time

There comes a time in a man’s life when the right woman appears to make his life meaningful again.

Beryl Thibodeaux, played by Geneviève Bujold, is not interested in a short-term relationship.

If she was, she would have already found one or more partners to fill a gap in her life.

She can offer Wes Block the emotional stability and support that he is actually, and unknowingly, looking for.

She can’t do it only for him, but for his kids, as well, which is perhaps what matters to him most.

In this way, she acts like a deus ex machina to provide a solution that resembles a happy ending.

TV · on Daredevil: Born Again 75
Daredevil: Born Again, Season 1 (2025, Disney+)
I am describing this movie review according to my view on it. Because others also might have different perspectives on it. However, I will give it my best and honest review.

All the way back from 2015 to 2019, there has been a Daredevil series. But adding the “Born Again” marvel, they have decided to call it a season 1, but as a longtime fan of the original series, I treat it as a continuous rather than a true reboot.

But in early 2025, the story took a turn with my favorite lawyer and vigilante, Matt Murdock. I can also see Karen Page. And at the beginning of the season, Matt's best friend was killed by assassin Bullseye while they were in a club celebrating one of Matt's courtroom wins. And due to this, Matt stopped being a daredevil and continued his life.

But unfortunately, Wilson Fisk, a kingpin, won the election and became the mayor, and at this point, retirement felt impossible for Matt because throughout the rest of the season, Matt, who happens to be blind yet functioning well, was faced with challenges from Mayor Fisk, and both of them had no choice but to spend the remaining season wrestling with the darker version of themselves that they are trying to outrun.

Already, in the old series, both were two old enemies, but in the new series, they made it obvious and clear, which made them to be circling each other through courtrooms and city hall instead of alleyways.

And a serial killer known as Muse was introduced into the series, which led Daredevil (Matt) to resume his vigilante duty properly because Muse was terrorizing the city midseason. Some analysts believed that the central push and pull did not resolve into something deeper than a simple statement that corruption is bad.

The overall analytical summarized opinion is that watching the first nine episodes in season one, there should be more than just one actual superhero action and just a few courtroom encounters, even when it comes to applauding the whole violence and performance that remained.

But to me, it was very satisfying to watch, a strong performance. And perhaps if you have seen the original, you can easily relate to the new season... and if at all you have not, it's still a good watch.

From Marvel Television:

Starring: Charlie Cox, Vincent D'Onofrio, Margarita Levieva, Deborah Ann Woll...

Writer/Creator: Officially credited to Dario Scardapane, Matt Corman, and Chris Ord together.

Run time: 9 episodes. 42 to 60 minutes across each.

Picture screenshot/Imdb>l

Airing: March 4 to April 15, 2025.

My rating: 7.5/10

Thank you for reading through. Have a nice watch.

Prime Video

Almost five years have passed since the release of one of Disney's most popular recent films. Inspired by Colombian culture, this movie was a box office success in Colombia and received a warm welcome from its audiences.

A casi 5 años desde que se estrenó una de las últimas películas más populares de Disney. Inspirada en la cultura colombiana, esta película en su momento fue un éxito tanto en taquilla en dicho país por el gran recibimiento que hubo aquí por su gente.

Culture stands out here, since everything related to national pride is a serious matter, both for football and in their traditions, and they were very pleased that the great company of the mouse took them into account for one of its famous movies.

"Encanto" tells the story of a family blessed with a miracle that protects them, granting each member a magical gift that helps them in their daily lives and protects both themselves and the rest of the town's inhabitants. Mirabel Madrigal, the film's protagonist, is different from the rest of her family. While they typically receive their powers upon reaching a certain age, she is denied them during the ceremony, and this omission stigmatizes her, leading to rejection and neglect in a place where she is essentially considered useless. She dedicates herself to proving her worth, but in doing so, she discovers that some things are on the verge of breaking.

"Encanto" trata sobre una familia encantada con un milagro que los protege, dándoles a los miembros un don mágico que los ayuda con el día a día y para protegerse tanto a ellos como al resto de los habitantes del pueblo. Mirabel Madrigal, la protagonista de la película, es diferente al resto de su familia, pues al llegar a una cierta edad, obtienen sus poderes, pero ella en plena ceremonia no lo obtiene, siendo marcada por eso y a veces rechazada e ignorada, en un sitio donde básicamente la consideran poco útil. Esta se dedica a mostrar su valor, pero descubriendo algunas cosas que están por romperse.

The grandmother, the family matriarch, is somewhat strict and harsh, and is the most criticized character for how cruel she sometimes seems. Some see her as a villain, although that's not the context here. Instead, she's dealing with a harsh reality she's had to endure, which has led her to make certain decisions that make her appear mean, when in reality she's trying to protect them from harm. The issue lies in how she treated her son for something that was her own fault, so kicking him out is not something a mother should do.

La abuela, quien es matriarca de la familia, es un poco estricta y dura, siendo el personaje más criticado por lo cruel que a veces parece. Algunos la toman por villana, aunque aquí no existe ese contexto, sino una realidad dura que esta tuvo que vivir y que la ha llevado a tomar algunas decisiones que la hacen parecer que es mala, cuando realmente está buscándolos proteger de cualquier inconveniente. La cuestión está en la manera en la que trató a su hijo varón por algo que fue culpa de ella, por lo que el correrlo no es algo que una madre debía hacer.

This film was a complete success for Disney, as beyond its box office performance, it was very well received both in Colombia and around the world, with an effect similar to that of "Coco" due to its beautiful message, but even more so because it features what is now the company's most popular song. "No se habla de Bruno" remains their best song to date, even surpassing "Libre Soy," which leads me to mention that it also won awards such as the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film. At the Grammy Awards, it took home three awards, including Best Song for Visual Media for the hit "No se habla de Bruno."

Esta película fue un éxito total para la empresa Del Ratón, pues más allá de la taquilla, tuvo un gran recibimiento, tanto en Colombia como en el resto del mundo, con un efecto parecido al de "Coco" por el bonito mensaje, pero aún más por tener lo que es hoy en día la música más popular de la compañía. "No se habla de Bruno" es hasta ahora la mejor música de esta compañía, aun por encima de "Libre Soy", lo que me lleva a mencionar que esta obtuvo también premios como el Óscar a la Mejor Película de Animación y el Globo de Oro a la Mejor Película Animada. En los Premios Grammy, se llevó 3 galardones, incluyendo Mejor Canción para Medios Visuales por el éxito "No se habla de Bruno".

I admit I'm a huge fan of the music in this movie; I even listen to it sometimes because it's so catchy. My kids love it too, and sometimes they put the movie on to watch it. Some people underestimate it, saying it's overrated, but the impact it had makes sense, and it's considered one of the best recent Disney+ movies. It's currently available on Disney+ in its original catalog, where it remained in the top 10 for many months. And if you enjoyed this movie, let me know.

Admito que soy muy fan de las músicas de esta película, tanto que a veces las escucho por lo entretenidas que son; a mis hijos les gusta también mucho, que a veces ponen la película para mirarla. Algunos la subestiman, dicen que es sobrevalorada, pero con el impacto que esta generó, le da sentido a por qué esta es considerada como una de las mejores últimas películas de Disney+. Actualmente, esta obviamente está disponible en Disney+ en su catálogo original, en donde se mantuvo en el top 10 por muchos meses. Y si a ti te gustó esta película, déjamelo saber.

Movie · on Enola Holmes 2 90
Fearless detective Girl Enola Holmes 2
Hello everyone!!!

I hope so you all are fine and happy 😀

After watching Enola Holmes 1 and especially when I loved the movie i obviously go with the Enola Holmes 2 and try to watch if the movie gives the same vibes again but believe me it was more fun and more mysterious about the independence of woman life.

So, the movie starts with that Now Enola Holmes has her own detective agency named as Enola Holmes detector agency, she hired people in her company they came to join but when they saw that the manger is so young lady so they didn't believe on her and left her.

She was almost giving up on her agency and pack up her language while a girl come into her company and asked if she's The Enola detective and then the girl give her a case of finding her own sister who's missing so this is her second case and she's continue to work on it.

When she more involved into the case it's like it's not about only the missing girl, but this involved also fraud on money, corruption and murder of innocent girls so this is more mysterious case to find out especially when you don't have any proof. But Enola shows again the more confident in her to solve the case.

One thing in the movie watching Enola and Sherlock work together on the same case but in different angles and this is my favourite part of the movie when strongly they share each other evidence of the case and at the last go to the site to expose the criminal.

Also I love it how Sherlock Holmes changed from first movie to second movie that now he offered Enola to work as a team as Holmes and Holmes but she said that working together is nice but working alone on her own way is charm and she doesn't want to be in Sherlock Holmes shadow.

Final thought's!!!

Millie bobby brown and Henry cavill once again acting in good way, i think the second movie is about more mystery , fun, entertaining and energetic and Enola and Tweksbery relation also slip a further like they both make a confess and it's the sweet part of the movie.

That's all for today and Thank you for your time and support 🙏

Movie · on Happy Gilmore 80

Happy Gilmore (1996) | Nattosheru Review [ENG/SPA]

Hello, cinema fans. Today I’m bringing you another great comedy from the ’90s. It’s a movie I grew up watching, and one that’s been hard to forget ever since I was a kid. It’s one of the first and best comedy films starring the charismatic actor we’ll be talking about over the next few weeks. Happy Gilmore was directed by Dennis Dougan and stars the famous Adam Sandler (who also co-wrote the screenplay). The film also features performances by Christopher McDonald, Julie Brown, and Carl Weather.

Hola, fanáticos del cine. Hoy les traigo otra gran película del género de la comedia de la década de los 90. Una película con la cual crecí viéndola y que fue muy difícil de olvidar desde pequeño. Es de las primeras y las mejores películas de comedia que el carismático actor del cual estaremos hablando en estas semanas ha protagonizado. Happy Gilmore fue dirigida por Dennis Dougan y cuenta con el protagonismo del famoso Adam Sandler (quién también colaboró en la escritura del guión). La película también cuenta con las actuaciones de Christopher McDonald, Julie Brown y Carl Weather.

Plot

The movie begins with a short monologue by our protagonist, Happy Gilmore. He tells us that ever since he was a child, he’s inherited his father’s love and passion for ice hockey and has been playing it ever since. His father taught him the “trick” to making a perfect shot, but otherwise, Happy was never a great hockey player. When he was just a child, he lost his father in an incident that occurred during a hockey game, and, having lost his mother as well, he went to live with his grandmother. As an adult, he continued to pursue his dreams of playing hockey despite his lack of skill, but everything will suddenly change because of a single phone call.

Trama

La película inicia con un pequeño monólogo de nuestro protagonista quien se llama Happy Gilmore. Nos cuenta que desde niño heredó el amor y fanatismo que tiene su padre por el hockey sobre hielo y desde entonces ha estado jugándolo. Su padre le enseñó el “truco” para hacer un lanzamiento perfecto, pero de resto Happy nunca fue un gran jugador de hockey. Cuando apenas era niño perdió a su padre en un incidente que hubo en un partido de hockey y, sin madre, se fue a vivir con su abuela. De grande siguió con sus sueños de jugar hockey a pesar de lo malo que es, pero todo cambiará de repente por una simple llamada.

Trailer & Review

Here's the trailer for the movie:

By: Rotten Tomatoes Classic Trailers.

As unsurprising as it may be, I like this second Adam Sandler film—in which he plays the lead—much more than his first, Billy Madison. The reasons for this vary quite a bit: there’s the difference in humor, the performances, the story, and even Sandler’s lead role in this film. But the first reason that came to mind when I thought about this is that Happy Gilmore was one of the movies that aired most often on TV when I was a kid.

It seems that, even with all its jokes and adult elements, it was a movie that seemed appropriate to watch with the family. But anyway, despite what the vast majority of people think about Adam Sandler’s movies and his very distinctive brand of humor, I admit that this is the kind of movie that still has me in stitches today, no matter how old it is. And that’s not surprising, since these are the kinds of movies I watched the most when I was just a kid. Just to give you an idea of the kind of humor I like, here’s this movie.

Por mucho que a nadie le sorprenda, esta segunda película protagónica de Adam Sandler me gusta mucho más que la anterior y primera película que realizó llamada Billy Madison. Las razones de esto pueden llegar a variar bastante: está la diferencia de humor que tiene, las actuaciones, la historia e incluso el mismo papel protagónico que realiza Sandler en esta cinta. Pero la primera razón que me llegó a la cabeza cuando pensé sobre esto es que Happy Gilmore era de las películas que más se transmitían en la televisión desde que era pequeño.

Tal parece que, aún con todos sus chistes y elementos para adultos, era una película que parecía adecuada para ver con la familia. Pero bueno, a pesar de lo que la gran mayoría de personas opinan sobre las películas de Adam Sandler y su humor tan característico, admito que este es el tipo de películas que me parten de la risa actualmente, sin importar lo antigua que es y todo. Y no es extraño esto cuando es este tipo de películas más que veía desde que era apenas un niño. Como para que te des una idea de qué tipo de humor es el que me gusta, tienes esta película.

The main character is a very immature, troubled, grumpy, and temperamental young man who dreams of becoming an ice hockey player. However, he’s terrible at the game—so much so that he doesn’t even know how to skate properly and ends up constantly getting into fights with everyone. One morning, though, he receives an unexpected call from his grandmother—who raised him since he was a child after he lost his father—asking him to come home. When he arrives at the house, he sees that they’re clearing out all his belongings, and Happy tries to stop them.

When he asks for an explanation, a man in a suit tells him that his grandmother owes money to the government for failing to pay her taxes for years. The IRS representative tells him that if she doesn’t pay the $270,000 she owes the government, the house will be foreclosed on. Happy has no choice but to take his grandmother to a sort of nursing home, where it becomes clear that things aren’t as peaceful as they seem. Later, while trying to watch his ice hockey game, he gets into a bet to see if he can hit the ball far with a golf club—which he manages to do more than once.

Tenemos como protagonista a un personaje muy inmaduro, problemático, malhumorado y temperamental que sueña con convertirse en jugador de hockey sobre hielo. Sin embargo, es pésimo jugando, tanto que ni siquiera sabe cómo manejarse bien con los patines y termina peleándose siempre con todo el mundo. Sin embargo, una mañana recibe una llamada inesperada de su abuela, con quien se crió desde niño luego de perder a su padre que le pide que vaya a su casa. Al llegar a la casa se nota que están desalojando todas sus cosas y Happy intenta impedir esto.

Cuando pide una explicación, un hombre con traje le dice que su abuela le debe dinero al gobierno por no pagar sus impuestos por años. El representante del IRS le termina diciendo que si no paga los 270.000 dólares que le debe al gobierno, la casa será embargada. Happy no encuentra otra opción que llevar a su abuela a una especie de asilo donde es evidente que no es tan tranquilo como aparenta serlo. Luego, mientras intenta ver su programa de hockey sobre hielo, se mete en una apuesta para ver si puede lanzar la pelota lejos con un palo de golf, lo cual logra más de una vez.

Source: Tenor.

While he’s collecting his winnings, he comes up with the brilliant idea of earning the money he needs by playing golf so he can get his grandmother’s house back. From here on, we see how our protagonist quickly immerses himself in the world of golf, with all its quirks. What I like about this movie is its story, which I find easier to follow and enjoy because the protagonist isn’t a complete idiot like the one in Billy Madison—he’s a spirited young man with a dream who’s doing everything he can to help his beloved grandmother, the only family he has.

Maybe it’s because he lost his father as a child and never had a mother, or maybe it’s simply because he’s a poor guy who turns to hockey as his only option—since that’s what he thinks he’s good at—and he doesn’t last long at any other job either. Now that I think about it, given where I am in my life right now, I feel like I can relate to this character more quickly than ever before, to be honest. And I like that, because he’s not the spoiled son of a billionaire who lets him do whatever he wants—no, he’s someone who takes responsibility for his own actions, even when almost everything he does ends up going wrong.

Mientras recibe el pago de la apuesta, se le ocurre la genial idea de conseguir el dinero necesario jugando golf para así recuperar la casa de su abuela. A partir de aquí vemos cómo nuestro protagonista se adentra rápidamente al mundo del golf con todo y sus peculiaridades. Lo que me gusta de esta película es su historia, la cual se me hace más fácil de seguir y disfrutar ya que no se trata de un idiota como el que vemos en Billy Madison, sino que es un chico temperamental y con un sueño que intenta hacer lo posible para ayudar a su querida abuela, la única familia que tiene.

Tal vez sea por esto, porque perdió a su padre cuando niño y nunca tuvo madre o porque simplemente es un pobre hombre que recurre únicamente al hockey porque es lo que cree saber hacer bien ya que tampoco dura mucho en ningún otro trabajo. Ahora que lo pienso, actualmente como me encuentro yo siento que me puedo identificar más rápido con este personaje que nunca, la verdad. Y eso me gusta, porque no vemos que sea hijo de un multimillonario que lo malcría y deja que haga lo que le dé la gana, no, es alguien que se hace cargo de sus propias acciones, aún cuando casi todo lo que hace termina mal.

Source: Tenor.

The story is more of a coming-of-age tale because of the remarkable growth we see in its protagonist. From the very beginning, we see Happy Gilmore constantly letting his emotions get the best of him, picking fights with everyone, and unable to tolerate any kind of mockery or humiliation. His terrible temper will cost him dearly, but his promise to reclaim his grandmother’s house motivates him to do what he hates most: play golf. Despite the mistakes and chaos he causes in every game, he always manages to stand out thanks to his talent for sending the ball flying so far off the course.

But even with his incredible swing, he fails to become the best—or even come in first. It’s here that we see Happy go through a series of events, experiences, and confrontations that will test his short patience and his dedication to becoming the best—all for the money. And it’s not because he’s a money-lover, but because that money, that prize, that first-place finish would become tangible proof that anyone can achieve their dreams of becoming a professional—or of being someone in life at all. Happy’s dilemma wasn’t that he wasn’t a hockey player, but that he wasn’t good at anything.

La historia es más una lección de aprendizaje debido al notable desarrollo que vemos en su protagonista. Desde el principio vemos a Happy Gilmore dejarse llevar siempre por sus emociones, buscando peleas con todo el mundo y no soportando ningún tipo de burla o humillación. Su terrible temperamento le costará muy caro, pero su promesa de recuperar la casa de su abuela lo motiva a hacer lo que menos le gusta: jugar al golf. A pesar de los fallos y el caos que hace en cada juego, logra destacarse siempre debido a su talento por hacer que la pelota vuele tan lejos del campo.

Pero aún con su grandioso toque, no logra ser el mejor, ni el primero. Es aquí donde vemos a Happy atravesar por una serie de eventos, experiencias y enfrentamientos que probarán su corta paciencia y su dedicación a convertirse en el mejor, todo por el dinero. Y no es porque sea un amante del dinero, sino porque dicho dinero, dicho premio, dicho primer lugar se convertiría en una prueba tangible de que cualquiera puede lograr realizar sus sueños de ser un profesional o de ser alguien siquiera en la vida. El dilema de Happy no era que no fuera un jugador de hockey, sino que no fuera bueno en nada.

Amid so many losses, so many failures, so many setbacks, and so many disappointments, you just cling to what you love, what you think you’re good at. But when reality hits you and puts you to the test—like it does to Happy in this movie—that’s when we see what we’re really made of. Not all of us make our dreams come true or excel at what we’re good at, but the important thing is to try—not for yourself, but for others, for the people you truly care about. Anyway, that’s what I personally think about this excellent and entertaining story in the movie, which I consider better than many people realize.

But anyway, beyond being an exemplary protagonist or the kind of “hero” every movie seeks to portray, Happy Gilmore is just a young adult with no future and a shattered dream who can’t seem to get a foothold in anything because of his terrible temper and his stubbornness when it comes to making his dreams come true. The fact that I’ve identified with him now more than ever is a sad yet curious twist of fate. But even with all that in mind, I consider this protagonist better than the one in Billy Madison for very obvious reasons.

Entre tantas pérdidas, tantos fallos, tantas caídas y tantas decepciones solo te aferras a lo que te gusta, lo que crees que eres bueno. Pero cuando la realidad te golpea y te pone a prueba como a Happy en esta película, es cuando vemos de qué estamos hechos. No todos hacemos realidad nuestros sueños o no destacamos en lo que somos buenos, pero lo importante es hacerlo, no por tí, sino por los demás, por la gente que te importa de verdad. Pero bueno, esto es lo que personalmente pienso sobre esta excelente y entretenida historia que tiene esta película, la cual la considero mejor de lo que muchos piensan.

Pero bueno, más allá de ser un protagonista ejemplar o un “héroe” que toda película busca mostrar, Happy Gilmore es solamente un joven adulto sin futuro y con un sueño frustrado que no consigue establecerse en nada debido a su pésimo temperamento y su terquedad a la hora de conseguir hacer realidad sus sueños. El hecho de que yo me haya sentido identificado por él ahora más que nunca es una triste y a la vez curiosa casualidad de la vida. Pero aún con todo esto presente, considero mejor a este protagonista que al de Billy Madison por muy obvias razones.

Of course, its adult, sexist, and crude humor hasn’t changed a bit, just like the typical clichés of supporting characters who stand out for being ridiculous or the typical cliché of the protagonist always ending up with the beautiful blonde girl in the movie. But hey, at least there aren’t many sex scenes or sexual innuendos in this movie, which is surprisingly unusual for an Adam Sandler film. However, what there is—and plenty of it—are the typical confrontations or outbursts by the protagonist that end in fights.

You know, it’s that “Jackass”-style humor where the protagonist always causes some kind of incident—intentionally or not—to people who are always in the background. For example, the first time we see Happy Gilmore playing golf, his shots end up hurting a man, then shattering a window in his house, and finally causing his wife to fall from the upper floor. To be honest, it’s this specific type of humor—or these moments in the movie—that made me laugh the most, truth be told. Of course, I suppose this is the kind of humor I’ve been most used to seeing since I was a kid.

Claro, el humor adulto, sexista y crudo que tiene no cambia para nada, al igual que sucede con los típicos clichés de personajes secundarios que llaman la atención por hacer el ridículo o el típico cliché del protagonista terminado siempre con la chica rubia y hermosa de la película. Pero bueno, al menos no hay muchas escenas de sexo o insinuaciones a esto en esta cinta, lo cual es curiosamente extraño para ser una película de Adam Sandler. Sin embargo, lo que sí hay y bastante son los típicos enfrentamientos o arrebato del protagonista que terminan en peleas.

Ya saben, es ese tipo de humor tipo “jackass” donde el protagonista siempre causa algún incidente con o sin intención a personas que siempre están de fondo. Como por ejemplo la primera vez que vemos a Happy Gilmore jugar golf que hace que sus lanzamientos lastimen a un señor, luego de romper una ventana de su casa y finalmente a su mujer que cae del piso de arriba. Si les soy sincero, es este tipo específico de humor o momentos de la película que me dieron más risa que todo lo demás, la verdad. Claro, supongo que este tipo de humor fue el que más me acostumbré a ver desde pequeño.

As for the performances, I suppose there isn't much to mention, aside from Adam Sandler's signature acting style as the lead, which catapulted him to stardom once and for all. There are also a few characters who stood out a bit because of their performances, such as the film’s main antagonist, Shooter McGavin. I also really liked Ben Stiller’s brief but perfect cameo (another great comedy actor who has had a huge influence on my life through his movies) in this film. Last but not least, let’s talk about the audiovisual aspects of this movie.

This time, a larger production company—Universal Pictures—took on an Adam Sandler film, Happy Gilmore. So I suppose that’s why the film was somewhat toned down compared to our comedian’s previous film. The directing and production style in this comedy film is a bit better, with more interactive visual effects and camera movements. Especially the zoom style and tracking shots we see when the protagonist hits the golf ball. The sound effects are also excellent, as is the ’80s soundtrack.

Personally, I give it a rating of 8/10 as far as the comedy genre is concerned.

Entre las actuaciones, supongo que no hay mucho que mencionar, aparte del característico estilo de actuación de Adam Sandler como protagonista que lo catapultó para siempre. También hay uno que otro personaje que llegó a destacarse un poco debido a su actuación, como lo es el caso del antagonista principal de la película, Shooter McGavin. También me gustó mucho la aparición corta pero perfecta de Ben Stiller (otro gran actor de comedia que influyó mucho en mi vida con sus películas) en esta película. Por último, pero no menos importante, hablemos del apartado audiovisual que tiene esta película.

Esta vez una productora más grande se hizo cargo de una película de Adam Sandler como lo es Happy Gilmore y fue Universal Pictures. Así que supongo que por esto la película tuvo cierta censura en comparación con la película anterior que hizo nuestro comediante. El estilo de dirección y producción en esta cinta de comedia es un poco mejor, con efectos visuales y estilos de movimientos más interactivos. Sobre todo el estilo de zoom y efectos de desplazamiento que vemos cuando el protagonista lanza la pelota de golf. Los efectos de sonido también son excelentes, al igual que la banda sonora ochentera que tiene.

Personalmente, le doy una calificación de 8/10 en lo que respecta al género de comedia.

Movie · on Michael 95
Michael, un ícono mundial. (Esp/Eng)
Hola, saludos a todos, en esta oportunidad les comparto la reseña sobre la película Michael estrenada en el 2026, relata la vida sobre el rey del Pop Michael Jackson y como se fué desarrollando su paso por la música hasta lograr convertirse en el mejor artista de todos los tiempos.

Hello everyone. Today I’m sharing a review of the movie Michael, released in 2026. It chronicles the life of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, and traces his musical journey as he rose to become the greatest artist of all time.

Fuente

Cuando se estrenó la película no dude en ir a verla en el cine, realmente para mí ha sido una de las mejores en tanto tiempo, para aquellos que hemos escuchado a Michael desde pequeños entendemos esa emoción al verla en la pantalla. Jaafar hizo un gran trabajo en lograr interpretar a su tío, dandole vida a cada escena icónica del rey del Pop.

When the movie premiered, I didn't hesitate to go see it in the theater; for me, it was truly one of the best films in a long time. Those of us who have listened to Michael since childhood understand the emotion of seeing him on the big screen. Jaafar did a fantastic job portraying his uncle, bringing every iconic scene of the King of Pop to life.

Fuente

Michael desde pequeño demostró un gran talento tanto para el canto y baile, vivía con sus hermanos y padres, su infancia fué algo difícil debido a los constantes maltratos y exigencias de su padre, no tenía casi amigos, ensayaban por horas, se lograron consolidar como "The Jackson 5" cada uno de ellos siempre tuvo un talento pero Michael quería lograr algo más.

From a young age, Michael demonstrated great talent for both singing and dancing; he lived with his parents and siblings, though his childhood was somewhat difficult due to his father's constant mistreatment and demanding nature. He had few friends and spent hours rehearsing. They eventually established themselves as "The Jackson 5"—and while each member possessed talent, Michael aspired to achieve something more.

Fuente

Cuando Michael es un adulto se separa de la banda para iniciar su carrera como solista, sin embargo a su padre Joseph no le gusta la idea ya que al darse cuenta que no puede controlarlo como antes busca que Michael de una gira con sus hermanos, todo esto con el fin de poder ganar más dinero. Joseph es un hombre ambicioso que mantuvo bajo constante presión a todos sus hijos para lograr convertirlos en estrellas pero su actitud no fué del todo positiva generando un impacto psicológico y emocional sobre todo en Michael.

As an adult, Michael breaks away from the band to launch a solo career; however, his father, Joseph, dislikes the idea. Realizing he can no longer control Michael as he once did, Joseph pushes for a tour with his brothers—all in an effort to make more money. Joseph is an ambitious man who kept all his children under constant pressure to turn them into stars, but his attitude was far from positive, taking a psychological and emotional toll—particularly on Michael.

Fuente

En la película se puede ver más allá de la vida como cantante, describe su vida personal, inseguridades y experiencias que va viviendo a través de su trayecto como artista, tiene un gran corazón y ama ayudar a los necesitados, una de las cosas que me llamó la atención es que para aquella época la discriminación racial era notable, en aquella escena donde los directivos del canal de música se negaban a colocar Billie Jean por Michael ser un artista de piel morena. Sin saber que detrás de esto había un éxito musical.

The film offers a glimpse beyond his life as a singer, portraying his personal life, insecurities, and experiences throughout his journey as an artist. He has a big heart and loves helping those in need. One thing that struck me was the prevalence of racial discrimination at the time—specifically the scene where music channel executives refused to air "Billie Jean" because Michael was a Black artist, unaware that a massive musical hit lay behind it.

Fuente

Mi escena favorita fué donde comienza a cantar Don’t Stop ’til You Get Enough a capela y luego realiza la transición, también me gustó como interpretó Beat It, Thriller el clásico que no puede faltar y al final "Bad" dándole el toque final cuando por fin logra separarse de su padre en definitiva, cada paso, movimiento y vestuario bien estudiando. Realmente el impacto que tiene esta película es espectacular. Sin duda logró convertirse en el artista más escuchado de todos los tiempos hasta la actualidad, espero ver una segunda parte.

My favorite scene was where he starts singing "Don’t Stop ’til You Get Enough" a cappella and then makes the transition; I also liked his performance of "Beat It," the essential classic "Thriller," and finally "Bad"—which provided the perfect finishing touch as he finally managed to break free from his father for good. Every step, movement, and costume was meticulously thought out. The impact of this film is truly spectacular. He undoubtedly became the most-listened-to artist of all time—a status he holds to this day—and I hope to see a sequel.

Fuente

Su vida fué algo difícil, a pesar de tenerlo todo como el dinero, fama, el faltó el amor de su padre, para él la música lo puede curar todo y a través de sus canciones y el baile trataba de transmitir un mensaje de unión y amor al mundo sin importar raza o género.

His life was somewhat difficult; despite having everything—such as money and fame—he lacked his father's love. He believed music could heal anything, and through his songs and dance, he sought to convey a message of unity and love to the world, regardless of race or gender.

For All Mankind (2019) : Open Source - S05E04 - RECAP

Open Source finally gives this season a problem big enough to hit everybody on Mars at once and thats why it works so much better than another hour built around one secret or one argument between just too many people as we have seen on other episodes. Ed is gone now and the episode gives that some real space without turning the whole hour into one long goodbye, it wont be easy as everything use to turn around him and besides the series only has one season left since they closing with Season 6. Kelly and Alex go through what he left behind while the people of Happy Valley throw together their own memorial after the officials refuse to give him one and that tells you everything about how different the officials and the people actually living there saw the guy, Ed is an icon and that cant be taken away from him even after he is dead. To them he wasnt just some criminal tied to the Goldilocks theft, he was part of the reason their whole home exists in the first place and that sets the tone for the rest of the episode, where those same people find out their place on Mars might not even be permanent. The show keeps moving instead of milking his death over and over, which was the right call, I still felt his absence but the season does not act like it cant go on without him, it takes that loss and uses it to push Alex into stepping up, and by the end he makes a choice that could change things for pretty much everyone around him.

Alex gets the most out of this new direction because for once he has something to do besides being Eds grandson or Kellys son, his first job at Helios looks ordinary and I liked that Kelly tells him everybody has to start somewhere even with the Baldwin, its better this way so it doesnt provide the impression he is getting hand overs. Dev pulls him into the Meru City project fast, but the conversation shows that Alex is very competent, he looks at this perfectly designed city and tells Dev a real home cannot feel completely planned out, people need room to change things and make it theirs. Dev does not brush him off, he asks Alex to figure out how to make it affordable instead of just handing him an easy job. There is that uncertainty feeling that doesnt go far from Dev and that is what keeps me hooked, he seems really serious about building a permanent city for real people instead of a work camp for mining, but that does not prove he is innocent about the automation plan, it just gives the episode a reason to hold the answer back. If Dev knows almost every worker could get replaced then Meru might be a city built for the handful he picked and if he does not know then people inside Helios made a massive call without him, either way his reaction to the leak does not settle which one it is. That puts some spice in this situation because he wants Mars to become something bigger but also likes control more than he likes being questioned.

The automation proposal is the core of everything right now and makes a strong case for the episodes because it turns some hidden plan into a direct threat against basically everybody in Happy Valley. Alex finds a restricted document laying out replacing up to 98 percent of commercial work on Mars over five years, with most workers expected to get shipped back to Earth and even if this was only a proposal it is still awful to even know the thought exist already in paper. A lot of these people didnt go there just for a short contract, they built real lives on Mars and Alex is proof of that himself since the planet basically made him who he is, so going back to Earth is not some simple thing for him. Basically the plan treats people like equipment, something you swap out the second a cheaper option comes along and thats why this leak can change things drastically if the public finds out too early and they front run it, there could be a strike but I doubt it would have any impact since in fact what the plan wants is to replace human labor as much as possible, plain simple. I liked that Lily refuses to assume Dev can be trusted just because Alex knows him, taking the file straight to him could give the company time to bury it. Leaking it means everybody finds out at once, but it also puts Alex and Lily in danger since their involvement is not hard to trace and the episode does not explain much the impact and risk that much, and thats fine since why giving up all of it at once. Still the final reactions show the information reaching workers, security, Helios leadership and the governor all at once, and that gives the season a real reason for people to be angry, because almost everybody now has a reason to fear losing their place if this plan moves forward.

The Avery part is quieter and at first I was not sold on her introduction because an angry young recruit with a troubled famous father is an easy character to understand. She joins the off planet force and keeps trying to separate herself from Danny Stevens, even though she is still carrying years of anger toward him but it feels the episode leans hard on that connection, creating a bridge betweer her last name and the fear that she could make the same mistakes he did, but does help a lot that the script do not drag this out for the season before letting Avery talk about it. Danielle tells her that joining for the wrong reasons could put her on the same path as Danny, so she makes Avery see that building her life around proving she is nothing like him still means he is controlling every choice she makes. I like that Danielle is the person who has this talk with her. She knew Danny, made some painful decisions about him on Mars, and stayed close enough to his family that Avery listens to her. Avery returns to the interview and gets accepted after being honest, giving her somewhere to go beyond being angry, and getting this obvious part of her story out of the way early gives her a chance to become more than another Stevens who cannot escape the family name.

During the episodes there are a lot of split pieces that point toward one bigger question about who Mars is actually for, because it starting to look like it was never intended for humas who where looking for a new start. Kelly leaving on the Titan mission represents that older dream of going farther and finding something new, and her time with Aleida gives the episode some warmth before they split up again, their friendship make sense because they can disagree about Helios decisions without pretending it never happened. Aleida shows up ready to confront Dev only to find out he already agrees the company is not working right, which shows how little control either one of them has over the business they run. Aleida cares about getting the Titan mission done while Dev stays locked in on Meru and that leaves room for other people to make choices that could affect the whole planet. Irina showing up in the incoming delegation gives another reason to suspect this plan comes from people way above the regular workers and it does seem like a smart choice becuase that keeps part of the secret and does to explain everything at once, the secret is not private anymore, Alex and Lily basically handed Happy Valley something that could unite them faster than any speech or memorial. I do not know if Dev is going to stand with them, defend Helios or just protect his own city plan, and thats the question that keeps me wanting to continue watching. I have mention before that this season for me has been a slow grind mostly because sometimes Im just too tired after work and in real life stuff to watch content everyday so I have to make the most when I can, but this season is starting to get spicy that keeps me watching. There are still sections that feel less urgent, specially the Avery stuff on Earth but the ending gives everything a much clearer direction than before. For the first time Mars does not feel like a place where separate problems just exist next to each other, it feels like a home where the people living there might finally be done taking orders from anyone who treats them as some temporary population that is about to be ship back to Earth, just with a good job medal when they once where offer a new start.
