I think in every movie star’s career, there’s got to be that one film. That one film that is so terrible, it may almost make people forget that you were ever featured or starred in a good film. Saw some movie recommendations from Netflix, and was like, “A Jolie film I’d never watched?” So, I decided to see this film with the hopes and understanding that some stars just don’t have horrible movies, or so.

Life or Something Like It (2002)

Lanie Kerrigan is a successful reporter living in Seattle and working for a Seattle television station. To the outsider, Lanie is living the perfect life, and Lanie herself believes that with her successful job, which keeps growing in leaps and bounds, a successful baseball player fiancé, a forever-fit body because of her strict diet and gym routine, and friends she cares about, she is truly living the perfect life.

That is, until she interviews an infamous prophet to get the predictions of an upcoming game. Only this self-proclaimed prophet, in addition to the score predictions, tells Lanie that she is going to die next Thursday. With the news that she is about to die, Lanie, who had the single-minded drive for success, must now rediscover herself to know what true happiness is.

Honestly, maybe it’s the date this was acted, or maybe it was heavy on the fact that it’s a feel-good movie, but you could smell how the story would go a mile away. And yeah, for people who have seen Jolie in more serious roles like Salt, you may not exactly find this movie appealing, or maybe think that Jolie was at her best. I, personally, thought she was alright. The blonde hair was something, not sure whether it’s a good something, but something nonetheless, and her appeal is ever-present and pouring out in waves. So, good for her, really.

My issue with the movie was the picture that you can’t be a successful woman, or rather a driven and ambitious woman, who just liked to work hard and be the best at what she was doing, meant she did not have a true life’s purpose. There was the stench of appeal in being directionless hanging in the air, courtesy of the male lead, and I wonder why that was the case.

I also expected her to be mean, so that there would probably be a reason for genuine character development, but that wasn’t the case. She was a good friend, a good daughter, generally a nice lady, but her ambition was just an issue, I guess? Anyway, thoughts? Who’s seen this Jolie’s not-so-popular film?

We sometimes underestimate the capacity that people can have to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Garakowa, besides being a fictional story, is one where what I mentioned is put to the test and ultimately proven to be true. Seeking out lesser-known films is definitely something I enjoy because having no idea what we're about to see is a plus; there's no such thing as conditioning. As I said, this is a fictional film where the focus seems to be on the world of AI, but with a significant human touch, produced by A-1 Pictures.

Here we have two protagonists, Dual and Dorothy, two programs who live inside a space called the "knowledge box," a place where many timelines converge and where gravity doesn't exist. Their purpose is to eliminate the various viruses that can be created by the various worlds that live inside the box. These worlds don't actually exist; they are simply human memories simulated for storage. They are, logically, not human; they know nothing of feelings or emotions, but all this changes the moment Remo arrives.

At first, it's unclear where Remo comes from or what her nature is (all becomes clear at the end of the film), but while she's there, Dual and Dorothy's monotonous life changes radically. The film is basically the path they take together until the outcome occurs, resulting in Remo's true intentions and the reason why she ends up in the box. I didn't know what to expect, especially considering it's only an hour long film. In the end, it turns out to be a story of friendship where, thanks to the vision of one of them, the other two begin to learn things and realize that there are other things outside the box.

Al principio no se sabe muy bien de dónde viene Remo o su naturaleza (al final del film se aclara todo) pero mientras ella está en aquel lugar la vida monótona de Dual y Dorothy cambia radicalmente. La película básicamente es el camino que ellas transitan juntas hasta que ocurre el desenlace producto de las verdaderas intenciones de Remo y la razón del porque ella llega a dicha caja. Yo no sabía que esperar y más sabiendo que es una película de apenas 1 hora, al final termina siendo una historia de amistad en donde gracias a la visión de una de ellas las otras dos comienzan a aprender cosas y a darse cuenta de que hay otras cosas fuera de la caja.

The plot may seem simple to understand, but throughout the film, there are things that constantly leave you wondering, things that aren't entirely clear, and that at least keeps you interested. The point is that when things touch on artificial intelligence, everything usually becomes very predictable because the premise is almost the same in all the stories: the AI becomes autonomous and therefore unpredictable. Despite the fact that this box is something created by humans, inside it is a parent AI that will ultimately play an important role. I won't say I was bored, but it is something I've seen several times.

The animation is very well done; it's from A-1 Pictures, so you'd expect nothing less. It's extremely colorful and full of detail. This box has various worlds they can travel to, all from different eras and landscapes. I think what's most striking is the level of realism with which these places were captured; they look like real photographs. In fact, Roraima (one of the most spectacular and well-known mountains in the world, located in my country, Venezuela) appears. I think the visual aspect is undoubtedly the best part of the film; it complements the short story and the simplicity of the plot.

In short, a film that teaches us that we should always question everything, our goals, and our way of seeing things. There are people who come into our lives and we don't know the impact they can have, just like Dual and Dorothy. We must always be cautious, but we must also know how to give them a chance when we're completely sure of their intentions. By the end, you'll understand a lot, and the plot may get a little more emotional. There are details I expected, others I didn't. It's a very average film; not bad, but just another one of the many. The good thing is that it's very short, and for that reason alone, I'd give it a chance—oh, and because of the incredible animation.

Nos muestra la historia de Tony Stark, un empresario armamentista multimillonario que no se preocupa por nada realmente, hasta que un día ve de cerca el cómo sus armas son utilizadas y decide hacer un cambio drástico a su vida y ser un hombre mejor.

Está película estrenada hace ya casi veinte años fue lo que sirvió como inicio a lo que hoy conocemos como el UCM, ya habían existido cintas de héroes de Marvel como Spiderman, Los 4 Fantásticos y lo X Men que son de los personajes más populares de la editorial, sin embargo Iron man no era tan conocido fuera de los comics por lo que fue un movimiento bastante temerario adaptar a este héroe en específico. Yo no ví está adaptación en cines sino unos años después en televisión, no sabía nada del personaje así que no sabía que esperar, por lo que cuando la iba viendo me sorprendía más y más.

_Fuente

Se ha vuelto una de mis favoritas junto con otras adaptaciones como el Batman de Nolan, el Spiderman de Sam Raimi y los X Men y Los 4 Fantásticos de Fox. Uno de los grandes puntos a favor fue elegir a Robert Downey Junior para el papel principal, yo sé que se debe elegir a un actor que se vea lo más parecido posible al personaje, pero es que aquí parece que lo sacaron de las viñetas a la vida real, logrando mostrarnos el camino del héroe de alguien vanidoso y egoísta a ser un héroe que lucha por lo que es correcto y busca ayudar al mundo usando sus recursos .

También está Gwynett Paltrow interpretando a Pepper Pots, aunque el personaje no tiene muchos momentos en la película la actriz hace un excelente trabajo haciendo que el público se interese rápidamente en ella y en el fuerte vínculo que comparte con Tony Stark.

_Fuente

Terrence Howards interpreta a James Rhodey Rodes, el amigo más cercano a Stark, también logra ser un personaje interesante tanto por el guión como por el actor, logran un excelente contraste entre Rhodey y Stark Pero vemos cómo se apoyan mutuamente .

Jeff Bridges interpreta a Obadiah Stane, quien es el mentor de Tony Pero también el antagonista de la cinta, a pesar de ser un excelente personaje la cinta no le da el tiempo suficiente para lucirse, lo que es una lástima ya que el actor se destaca asombrosamente en cada escena que aparece, pero no deja de ser un villano bidimensional.

_Fuente

En esta cinta logran combinar realismo y elementos de ficción de manera increíble y entretenida, no copian el material de origen sino que toman lo necesario, respetan la esencia y construye su propia historia, logrando una producción que les gusta a conocedores y no conocedores del personaje.

Los efectos especiales son de mis elementos favoritos en esta película, la armadura es sorprendente, el cómo se va activando al ir ajustándose al personaje es genial, y como se combina con la música es maravilloso. Las escenas de batalla, los diálogos, los momentos tranquilos y de tensión están muy bien logrados haciendo que está película sea una de las mejores cintas del género de superhéroes.

English Version

It shows us the story of Tony Stark, a multimillionaire arms entrepreneur who doesn't really care about anything, until one day he sees how his weapons are used and decides to make a drastic change in his life and become a better man.

This movie released almost twenty years ago was what served as the beginning of what we know today as the UCM, there had already been films of Marvel heroes like Spiderman, The Fantastic 4 and the X Men who are the most popular characters of the publisher, however Iron Man was not so well known outside the comics so it was a pretty reckless move to adapt this specific hero. I didn't see this adaptation in theaters until a few years later on television, I didn't know anything about the character so I didn't know what to expect, so when I was watching it I was more and more surprised.

_Fuente

It has become one of my favorites along with other adaptations like Nolan's Batman, Sam Raimi's Spiderman and Fox's X Men and Fantastic 4. One of the big plus points was casting Robert Downey Junior in the lead role, I know you have to cast an actor who looks as close to the character as possible, but here it seems like they took him from the comics to real life, managing to show us the hero's journey from someone vain and selfish to a hero who fights for what is right and seeks to help the world using his resources.

There is also Gwynett Paltrow playing Pepper Pots, although the character does not have many moments in the movie the actress does an excellent job making the audience quickly interested in her and the strong bond she shares with Tony Stark.

_Fuente

Terrence Howards plays James Rhodey Rodes, Stark's closest friend, he also manages to be an interesting character both by the script and the actor, they achieve an excellent contrast between Rhodey and Stark But we see how they support each other .

Jeff Bridges plays Obadiah Stane, who is Tony's mentor but also the antagonist of the film, despite being an excellent character the film does not give him enough time to shine, which is a pity because the actor stands out amazingly in every scene he appears, but it does not stop being a two-dimensional villain.

_Fuente

In this film they manage to combine realism and fictional elements in an incredible and entertaining way, they do not copy the source material but take what is necessary, they respect the essence and build their own story, achieving a production that both connoisseurs and non-connoisseurs of the character like.

The special effects are one of my favorite elements in this movie, the armor is amazing, how it activates as it adjusts to the character is great, and how it combines with the music is wonderful. The battle scenes, the dialogues, the quiet and tense moments are very well done making this movie one of the best films of the superhero genre.

¿Qué haces cuando vez una película? Siempre digo que no puedo durar una hora viendo una película; es decir, sentada tranquila sin pensar que estar en la cama estática puede aumentar mi porcentaje de grasa abdominal ja,ja,ja, es cierto, me pueden informar si ustedes piensan eso al estar tirada en una cama disfrutando de una película. He escuchado a muchas de mis amistades que pueden pasar horas solo viendo películas, se duermen, se despiertan y por arte de magia están viendo otra película, con la serie es otra cosa, deben retroceder para volver al momento que se quedaron dormidos.

Este fin de semana vi varias películas, pero me quedé tranquila un rato, pude picar cebollas, picar aliños y pimentón, teníamos pensado reunirnos en familia y aproveché de adelantar la parte que me tocaba; la ensalada...Así soy.

Comencé a buscar la película me topé con una romántica, de esas que provoca tener a alguien para hacerle cariños. Esta película tiene por nombre leyes de atracción, trata de unos abogados bien serios, pero algo locos. Entre huevos de chivo pasan cosas inimaginables, huevos de chivo es una bebida, algo fuerte, el hombre sabía lo que se pera luego de varios tragos de esta bebida, la dama no sabía nada de esto. Pueden imaginar por un momento a los abogados expertos en divorcios, casándose por culpa de esta bebida. Cabe destacar que no se puede buscar culpables en medio de esta controversia, pero siempre debemos conseguir culpables.

Hubo una escena donde pude entender que con las emociones no podemos jugar, tampoco estar muy cerca de la tentación, es algo que debemos tener en cuenta, podemos caer no por inocentes, pero si podemos caer por tercos.

No puedo contarles mucho, pero me pareció una gran película, sus protagonistas son bien respetados. Es una muestra de que las apariencias engañan. Esta película fue estrenada en el año 2004, sus protagonistas son: Julianne Moore y Pierce Brosnan. Si crees que tu vida es un desastre no te pierdas esta trama.

What do you do when you watch a movie? I always say that I can't last an hour watching a movie; that is, sitting still without thinking that lying in bed can increase my abdominal fat percentage, ha ha ha, it's true, let me know if you think that when you're lying in bed enjoying a movie. I've heard many of my friends say they can spend hours just watching movies, falling asleep, waking up, and magically finding themselves watching another movie. With series, it's different; you have to rewind to get back to the moment you fell asleep.

This weekend I watched several movies, but I stayed calm for a while. I was able to chop onions, seasonings, and paprika. We were planning to get together as a family, and I took advantage of the opportunity to get ahead on my part: the salad... That's how I am.

I started looking for a movie and came across a romantic one, the kind that makes you want to have someone to cuddle with. This movie is called Laws of Attraction, and it's about some very serious lawyers who are a little crazy. Unimaginable things happen between goat eggs. Goat eggs is a drink, a strong one, and the man knew what to expect after several shots of this drink, but the woman knew nothing about it. Can you imagine for a moment divorce lawyers getting married because of this drink? It should be noted that we cannot look for culprits in the midst of this controversy, but we must always find culprits.

There was a scene where I understood that we cannot play with emotions, nor can we be too close to temptation. It is something we must keep in mind. We may not fall because we are innocent, but we can fall because we are stubborn.

I can't tell you much, but I thought it was a great movie, and its protagonists are well respected. It shows that appearances can be deceiving. This movie was released in 2004, and its protagonists are Julianne Moore and Pierce Brosnan. If you think your life is a mess, don't miss this plot.

Hello everyone, friends of Hive, I hope you are all doing well. This time I want to share a new review with you. After several years, I finished watching "The Good Doctor." And I'm really sleepy, to say the least. At first, I wasn't convinced; it felt like a formula, you know? But anyway, I finally got into it, and let's see, what's it about? We follow Shaun Murphy, a guy who's starting his surgical residency at one of those super-prestigious hospitals, San Jose St. Bonaventure... typical of a medical drama, right? Well, here's the twist that changes everything: Shaun is autistic and also has savant syndrome... imagine an incredible visual and spatial memory, an ability to see connections that other doctors wouldn't even consider... and that's right at the heart of the series: this brilliant mind trying to survive in the super-intense, social world of surgery, when for him, the basics of interacting with people are very difficult... from the start, this idea grabs you.

I mean, how does someone who struggles with innuendo, sarcasm, or why people don't tell things like they are, connect with patients who are scared and need support? And how do they handle their colleagues? Mind you, some view them with suspicion, even anger, from the very beginning. Enter Dr. Glassman, the hospital's president and a lifelong mentor to Shaun, who trusts him because he believes in his potential. But then you have others, like the first chief of surgery, Dr. Andrews, who flat-out doesn't want him there, worried about the responsibility, the hospital's reputation... and he's keen on Glassman's position... so a conflict quickly arises, simply because Shaun arrived at the hospital.

Hola a todos, amigos de Hive, espero que estén muy bien, en esta ocasión les quiero compartir una nueva reseña, luego de ya varios años, termine de ver: "The Good Doctor".. y tengo mucho sueño decir, al principio no me convencía, sentí que era muy de fórmula, saben? Pero bueno, al final le entré, y a ver, ¿de qué va? Seguimos a Shaun Murphy, un chico que empieza su residencia de cirugía en un hospital de estos súper prestigiosos, el San Jose St. Bonaventure.. lo típico de un drama médico, ¿no? Pues ahí les va el giro que lo cambia todo: Shaun es autista y además tiene síndrome del sabio, savant syndrome.. imagínense una memoria visual y espacial increíble, una capacidad para ver conexiones que a otros doctores ni por la mente se les cruzan.. y ese es justo el corazón de la serie: esta mente brillante intentando sobrevivir en el mundo súper intenso y social de la cirugía, cuando para él, lo básico de interactuar con gente es una muy difícil.. desde el inicio, esta idea te atrapa.
O sea, ¿cómo le hace alguien que batalla para entender indirectas, sarcasmo, o por qué la gente no dice las cosas como son, para conectar con pacientes que están asustados y necesitan apoyo? ¿Y cómo maneja a los colegas? Que ojo, algunos desde el minuto uno lo ven con desconfianza, hasta mal.. ahí entra el Dr. Glassman, que es el presidente del hospital y ha sido como el mentor de Shaun toda la vida, y confía en él, porque cree en su potencial. Pero luego tienes a otros, como el primer jefe de cirugía, el Dr. Andrews, que de plano no lo quiere ahí, preocupado por la responsabilidad, la reputación del hospital... y le tiene ganas al puesto de Glassman.. así que rápidamente se arma el conflicto, nomás porque Shaun llegó al hospital.

And obviously, we can’t talk about “The Good Doctor” without talking about Freddie Highmore playing Shaun… I mean, he’s a big part of why the show was such a hit – it seems like it was a huge hit right from the start over in the States. Highmore transforms… it’s fascinating, it’s easy to see how talented he is, similar to when he played Norman Bates in “Bates Motel.” Both characters are super intense, like they live very outside the box, you know, just in very different ways. Highmore nails the physicality, the voice patterns, that look that kind of escapes you… he makes Shaun feel different, but this is where honestly, I don’t know what to think anymore. It’s the whole thing about how they portray autism… I started doing some research after watching it, and there are a lot of divided opinions, they’re super divided. On one hand, you have people, even some people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), who have said that the series is quite accurate, that it’s “pretty accurate.” They see things of themselves in Shaun’s anxieties, in how he takes everything literally, this feeling that the world is not made for him.

They feel represented, and all that, but… there are also a good number of people, including many within the autistic community and critics, who feel that the representation has many problems, they even say that it promotes “harmful stereotypes.” They say that Shaun is not a well-developed character, but rather a collection of “symptoms” or autistic traits, maybe even a kind of “empty” character beyond his condition and his genius abilities. They feel like the show relies too heavily on this "autistic genius" vibe, which does exist, but isn't common for most people, which oversimplifies things, perhaps making autism seem like a superpower that comes with social issues, rather than a much more complex way of being.

Y obvio, no podemos hablar de "The Good Doctor" sin hablar de Freddie Highmore haciendo de Shaun.. o sea, él es gran parte de por qué la serie pegó tanto – parece que fue un exitazo desde el principio allá en Estados Unidos, Highmore se transforma.. es fascinante, es fácil ver el talento que tiene, similar a cuando hizo de Norman Bates en "Bates Motel", los dos personajes son súper intensos, como que viven muy fuera de lo normal, ¿saben?, solo que de formas bien distintas. Highmore se clava con lo físico, los patrones de voz, esa mirada que como que se te escapa.. hace que Shaun se sienta diferente, pero aquí es donde honestamente, donde ya no sé ni qué pensar. Es la onda de cómo representan el autismo.. me puse a investigar después de verla, y hay muchas opiniones divididas, están súper divididas, por un lado, tienes gente, incluso algunas personas con Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA), que han dicho que la serie le atina bastante, que es "bastante precisa".. ven cosas de ellos mismos en las ansiedades de Shaun, en cómo se toma todo literal, esa sensación de que el mundo no está hecho para él.
Se sienten representados, y eso, pero... también hay un buen número de personas, incluyendo muchos dentro de la comunidad autista y críticos, que sienten que la representación tiene muchos problemas, hasta dicen que promueve "estereotipos que hacen daño".. dicen que Shaun no es un personaje bien desarrollado, sino como una colección de 'síntomas' o rasgos autistas, tal vez hasta un personaje medio "vacío" más allá de su condición y sus habilidades de genio. Como que sienten que la serie se cuelga demasiado de esta onda del 'genio autista', que sí existe, pero no es lo común para la mayoría, que simplifica las cosas, tal vez hace que el autismo parezca como un superpoder que viene con problemas sociales, en lugar de una forma de ser mucho más compleja.

When I saw it... it left me with mixed feelings, you know? Because, like, there are times when Shaun's way of thinking is just like, wow! I mean, the guy comes up with brilliant diagnoses, he saves people in ways that no one else would think of... and that's so addictive! But... then... there are other parts where his social interactions feel... weird, like they're using the awkwardness of the situation to get laughs or drama, and honestly, it made me feel kind of weird, because sometimes he's so direct it borders on cruel, you know? Like, just out of the blue telling a little kid that he has cancer, and yeah, okay, maybe that comes from his condition, but sometimes the show doesn't seem to show him as a real person dealing with that, but rather as... I don't know, a character who's only there to move the plot along because of his condition... and to add fuel to the fire with this whole thing of whether he's authentic or not, I found out something later...

It turns out that it seems that the Autism Speaks organization put its two cents in the script, at least at the beginning. Now, if you understand anything about the issue of autism and those who defend it, you'll know that Autism Speaks is... controversial, let's say... the autistic community itself doesn't like it very much, and well, there are people who say that for that very reason, perhaps, the show sometimes focuses too much on the 'bad' or the problems seen from the outside, and not so much on how an autistic person experiences it on the inside, do you understand? More nuanced... I mean, more doubts about whether they're doing it right or just repeating clichés that are sometimes a bit complicated... but oh well.

Let's talk about medical dramas, what's up with that? If you like these doctor series, well this is your element, it has all the classics: super rare and complicated cases (the tumor, the transplant, the life-or-death surgery), the typical race against time, and those last-minute twists that save the patient... and obviously, all the hospital gossip: the new doctors competing, the bosses who help them (or make them suffer 😅), the romances, the breakups, the fights over who is better... it's very much in the style of Grey's Anatomy or even Dr. House... you know: people die, new characters arrive, those who were friends now hate each other, and so on, it will definitely sound familiar to you if you like those series.

Cuando la vi... me dejó con sentimientos encontrados, ¿saben? Porque a ver, hay momentos en que la forma de pensar de Shaun es ¡wow! o sea, el tipo saca unos diagnósticos geniales, salva gente de formas que a nadie más se le ocurrirían.. y eso, ¡eso engancha! Pero... lueeego... hay otras partes donde sus interacciones sociales se sienten... raras, como si usaran lo incómodo de la situación para sacar risas o drama, y la verdad, a mí me hacía sentir medio raro, y es que a veces es tan directo que raya en lo cruel, ¿entienden? Onda, decirle a un niñito así de la nada que tiene cáncer, y sí, ok, puede que eso venga de su condición, pero a veces la serie como que no logra mostrarlo como una persona real lidiando con eso, sino más bien como... no sé, un personaje que solo está ahí para mover la trama por su condición.. y pa' echarle más leña al fuego con esto de si es auténtico o no, me enteré de algo después...
Resulta que parece que la organización Autism Speaks metió su cuchara en el guion, al menos al principio, ahora, si ustedes entienden algo del tema del autismo y quiénes los defienden, sabrán que Autism Speaks es... controversial, digamos.. la misma comunidad autista no la quiere mucho que digamos, y bueno, hay gente que dice que por eso mismo, quizás, la serie a veces se enfoca mucho en lo 'malo' o los problemas vistos desde afuera, y no tanto en cómo lo vive alguien autista por dentro, ¿me explico? Más matizado.. o sea, más dudas sobre si lo están haciendo bien o solo están repitiendo clichés que a veces son medio complicados.. pero bueno.
Hablemos del drama médico, ¿qué onda con eso? Si a ustedes les gustan estas series de doctores, pues este es su elemento, tiene todo lo clásico: casos súper raros y complicados (que si el tumor, que el trasplante, que la cirugía de vida o muerte), la típica carrera contra el reloj, y esos giros de último minuto que salvan al paciente.. y obvio, todo el chisme del hospital: los médicos nuevos compitiendo, los jefes que los ayudan (o los hacen sufrir 😅), los romances, los quiebres, las peleítas por quién es mejor.. es muy del estilo de Grey's Anatomy o hasta Dr. House.. ya saben: gente se muere, llegan personajes nuevos, los que eran amigos ahora se odian, y así, definitivamente te va a sonar conocido si te gustan esas series.

Well, people, let's see, it's inevitable that "Doctor House" comes to mind, especially because the creator is the same guy, David Shore... and of course, the million-dollar question is: Is "The Good Doctor" just "House" but with autism instead of a bad attitude? Some people do think so, eh, they say it's like a cheap copy... and yes, the structure may be similar: a doctor who's a genius but kind of difficult to deal with, solving cases that no one understands, but I think the autism theme does give it that interesting twist that they said out there. House chose to be bitter; Shaun's problems come from how his head works, from how he sees the world... his battle isn't about being intentionally annoying, it's that he truly doesn't understand those social rules that one doesn't even think about. So while they may be similar in some ways, Shaun’s journey feels incredibly different to me. His internal struggles and struggles with others are at the heart of the show, more so than any weekly medical mystery. Watching Shaun try to fit in is... complicated, sometimes frustrating, but you can’t stop watching. He has to learn things that are easy for us to understand: how to encourage someone, how to work as a team when everyone just stares at each other, how to deal with patients or even his own colleagues giving him weird looks or thinking he doesn’t belong.

It’s a constant struggle to prove himself, not just as an amazing surgeon, but as someone who understands the human side of medicine. And his personal struggles – trying to make friends, figuring out relationships, even how the hell to ask someone out! – those moments are sometimes the ones that resonate the most, the ones you connect with the most, even if his situation is so unique. And mind you, the series lasted for many seasons, it surprised me, honestly, and it just ended relatively recently, so does Shaun evolve? I think so, honestly... he definitely learns and adapts, he builds important relationships, especially at the beginning with Dr. Claire Browne, who was often like his social translator, his grounding wire... he faces increasingly difficult moral and personal dilemmas. But does he change that radically? Hmm, maybe not entirely... I felt like there was growth, but it was calm, little by little, perhaps more realistic for someone with his challenges, right?

The fact that they kept renewing it for so long tells you that it resonated strongly with people, despite all the discussion that always happened... honestly, my idea of ​​the series changed quite a bit, like I said, at first I was hesitant, I was worried they would fall into clichés or take advantage of the subject... but it ended up hooking me. The characters, even the secondary ones like Dr. Meléndez, that tough boss at the beginning, or Dr. Resnick, with that acid, almost evil vibe that I don't know why but I loved it!, they win you over... the medical cases, most of the time, are really good... in general, "The Good Doctor" for me is a mix... it has brilliant moments, that move you... Highmore's performance is incredible, you believe it, although there is always the discussion about the character itself... sometimes he does it well, with delicacy, and other times... he puts his foot in it and falls into the easy stereotype.

So, my final verdict... if I had to give it a grade, maybe a 7/10, well put, it's a series with flaws, but it captivates... it entertains you, it leaves you thinking about things (even if it doesn't always give you the answers) and it gives the lead role to a type of character that we almost never see... just watch it knowing that it's not simple, and prepare to form your own opinion... and well, that would be all for today, we'll see you in the next reviews. Take care, bye!

Bueno, gente, a ver, es inevitable que se te venga a la cabeza "Doctor House", más que nada porque el creador es el mismo tipo, David Shore.. y claro, la pregunta del millón es: ¿"The Good Doctor" es nomás "House" pero con autismo en vez de mala actitud? Hay personas que sí lo piensa, eh, dicen que es como la copia barata.. y sí, la estructura puede ser parecida: doctor que es un genio pero medio difícil para tratar, resolviendo casos que nadie entiende, pero yo creo que el tema del autismo sí le da esa vuelta de tuerca interesante que decían por ahí. House elegía ser un amargado; los problemas de Shaun vienen de cómo funciona su cabeza, de cómo ve el mundo.. su batalla no es por ser pesado a propósito, es que de verdad no entiende esas reglas sociales que uno ni piensa. Así que, aunque se parezcan en algunas cosas, para mí el viaje de Shaun se siente súper diferente.. sus batallas internas y con los demás son el corazón de la serie, mucho más que el misterio médico de cada semana, ver a Shaun tratando de encajar es.. complicado a veces te frustra, pero no puedes dejar de mirar, tiene que aprender cosas que para nosotros son pan comido: cómo darle ánimo a alguien, cómo trabajar en equipo cuando todos se comunican con miraditas, cómo lidiar con que los pacientes o hasta sus propios compañeros lo miren raro o piensen que no pertenece ahí.
Es una lucha constante por demostrar que vale la pena, no solo como un cirujano crack, sino como alguien que entiende el lado humano de la medicina.. y sus líos personales – tratar de hacer amigos, entender las relaciones, ¡hasta cómo carajos invitar a salir a alguien! – esos momentos a veces son los que más te llegan, con los que más conectas, aunque su situación sea súper particular. Y ojo que la serie duró muchas temporadas, me sorprendió, la verdad, y acaba de terminar hace relativamente pronto, entonces, ¿evoluciona Shaun? Yo creo que sí, la verdad que sí.. definitivamente aprende y se va adaptando, arma relaciones importantes, sobre todo al principio con la Dra. Claire Browne, que muchas veces era como su traductora social, su cable a tierra.. se enfrenta a dilemas morales y personales cada vez más duros ¿Pero cambia así de raíz? Mmm, quizás no del todo.. yo sentí que sí hubo crecimiento, pero fue tranqui, de a poquito, quizás más realista para alguien con sus desafíos, ¿no?
El hecho de que la siguieran renovando tanto tiempo te dice que pegó fuerte con la gente, a pesar de toda la discusión que siempre hubo.. honestamente, mi idea de la serie cambió bastante, como les dije, al principio dudaba, me daba cosa que cayeran en clichés o que se aprovecharan del tema.. pero me terminó enganchando. Los personajes, hasta los secundarios como el Dr. Meléndez, ese jefe duro al principio, o la Dra. Resnick, con esa onda ácida, casi malvada que no sé por qué ¡pero me encantaba!, te van conquistando.. los casos médicos, la mayoría de las veces, están buenos de verdad.. en general, "The Good Doctor" para mí es una mezcla... tiene momentos brillantes, que te emocionan.. la actuación de Highmore es increíble, te la crees, aunque siempre esté la discusión sobre el personaje en sí.. a veces le sale bien, con delicadeza, y otras veces... mete la pata y cae en el estereotipo fácil.
Así que, mi veredicto final.. si le tengo que poner nota, quizás un 7/10, bien puesto, es una serie con fallas, pero que atrapa.. te entretiene, te deja pensando cosas (aunque no siempre te dé las respuestas) y le da el protagónico a un tipo de personaje que casi nunca vemos.. solo véanla sabiendo que no es simple, y prepárense para armar su propia opinión.. y bueno, eso sería todo por hoy, nos veremos en las próximas reseñas. Cuidense mucho, byebye!
