.webp) Freedom as a logic of life. This is the foundation proposed by this film. Rather, it is its core through which all the stories that compose it dissolve, which at the end of the day are guided by the thread of its…

Love is the greatest curse that exists; perhaps that is one of the riskiest premises a film of this style can have. This is how Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is presented to us, where we follow the story of a young man, Yuta Okkotsu…

Fear as a driving force... this is the foundation from which this film's premise begins. One that, viewed from a childhood perspective, might seem heartwarming, but from a more adult viewpoint, we realize these mechanis…

Brother Bear, a movie that delves into a world that might seem fantastic, but rather reflects what we were as humanity. A humanity that tried to live in a beautiful correlation with nature, a bit prehistoric, that speak…

: One of the foundational films of contemporary horror, that is how big The Witch feels. An A24 film where we follow the story of a small family of North American settlers who are expelled from their community due to th…

A world where machines have already won. This is how The Matrix begins, one of the most revolutionary stories that left the biggest mark on 21st century science fiction. In it, we follow the story of Neo, a young progra…

Can we somehow escape that end for which we were created? Destiny, is our path a choice or is it already predetermined from the moment we arrive in the world? Keeping those questions in mind, I watched The Iron Giant, a…

How powerful can positive reinforcement be in our lives? There is a known effect called the Pygmalion effect, which goes something like this: when someone believes in us, whether positively or negatively, that opinion t…

How far can a dream take us? It is a classic and favorite premise of Disney, but this is a different movie, a film from that era when Disney dared to bet on something more, giving us true masterpieces in animation. Atla…

: What do we do when our curiosity turns into an obsession that ends up swallowing us whole? Los dioses rotos explores the story of a university professor who, captivated by the figure of Alberto Yarini, begins to take…

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, the pioneering Studio Ghibli film. With this begins the great path of Hayao Miyazaki as a director. This, unlike most of his grand works, is based on a manga written and drawn by the…

Domination: who should set the limits of our own lives? Is it okay for others to control us? Even against our own will and by sheer force. Or, perhaps we should look at it another way: who is the villain in a story wher…

The bridge to adulthood. Perhaps adolescence is the most investigated, represented, and perhaps idealized stage of life in our lives. It is that exact point where we stop being children and start becoming adults. This m…

The work that divided waters in Cuban cinema is based on a short story by Senel Paz. This film fearlessly touches upon one of the most thorny topics of post revolutionary Cuba. Which was nothing more than the evident co…

If something characterizes Ghibli movies, in general, is their beauty. This film is no exception, but perhaps it gives another twist to that, not only being beautiful, but taking beauty as the theme to explore. In this…

Music as one of the most identifying elements of humanity, because wherever there is music, there is humanity, it is the rug upon which this story will be driven. One that narrates to us about the strength and importanc…

What does it mean to be a man already, by itself, today is a complicated question? What does it mean to be a man who grows up in a violent environment? It adds another layer of complexity, but how to be a man who grows…

When you literally have lost everything, you hold on to what you have left out of love or simply because it is the only thing you have left. Today I come with a classic of classics in what animation is. A movie that has…

To what extent are we capable of carrying our obsessions? This film faces the modern world head on and dares to engage with the topics that are generating the most discussions, such as conspiracy theories and manipulati…

A deluge where humanity is no longer present, a post apocalyptic world where humanity has vanished, but we can find its traces everywhere. This is the setting where Flow unfolds, a film that came to revolutionize what w…

It is okay to surrender in love. At least my generation, which grew up watching these great Disney movies where love always won no matter what and was even the justification to carry on any enterprise and never give up,…

Honor should have limits? The Duellists is presented to us as one of those great period films, where we will find grand battles and two caballeros will put their honor to the test above all else, but the movie decides t…

Humanity versus nature, a classic as we might say, and there is no better way to reflect it than this work, one where its author Hayao Miyazaki consolidates himself with that characteristic style of his films, a cinema…

Who has to suffer through the burdens of a genius while this person carries out their work? For years we have heard of the women who are behind those great genios; those who had to cook, feed the children, wash the clot…

What does it mean to be human? The 90s. Technology is disrupting all our lives, and right then, one of the most revolutionary works for the cyberpunk genre is released. At the same time, it is one of the most cited by c…

Pain as a human necessity, perhaps this is one of the most contradictory aspects of humanity because in our urge to feel, pain is something that we can always have close at hand and, therefore, we run the risk of turnin…

A cathartic journey into the desert. This film is perhaps one of the last great epics of contemporary cinema, so much so that it has no middle grounds; you either hate it or you love it. Under a premise that might at fi…

Sentimental Value is a film that begins with a very deep emotional break, but takes a turn toward the grandiloquent, building its greatness from that very wound. From there, the work reveals its seams by introducing us…

What shape should love take? This is the question that sustains this entire film. Because far from the epic fantasy or perhaps science fiction that we might expect from a premise where an anthropomorphic merman is found…

I entered to watch this movie expecting only aesthetics and where I arrived surprised me a lot. A movie with a Chinese box structure. This is a technique normally used in literature, in stories, novels, where one story…

Here is the translation of the text, separated into paragraphs as requested: Perhaps the most frantic film I have ever seen starts like this, with a race; perhaps an image that we can ultimately interpret as poetic, a r…

Perhaps the pastel colors of this movie, so characteristic, are the perfect contrast for the cold and lonely way the character feels. How Theodore, the protagonist of this movie, goes through an increasingly isolated wo…

Awakening, perhaps, is the main axis of this film. One that moves like a leaf in a summer breeze. During the first hour of the movie, we see this leaf move through a small village where various cultures converge, as wel…

In this film, we follow two stories in parallel: on the one hand, the story of a hitman and his female partner. This seems simple in form, but in structure it is much more complex than that, because the whole story is c…

This is the final installment of the saga and perhaps the most important film, because with it the perfect closure to Evangelion is marked. This film not only shows us a cluster of events, but takes the representation t…

Bewilderment, that would be the best way to describe this movie, because it starts without any prior warning. It is, perhaps, the most turbulent movie in the saga regarding the script, because, in a way, it tries to tra…

This is the second part of the already classic Evangelion saga, but it is not only the classic saga, but the modern reinterpretation. Why can we affirm this? Because unlike the series or previous movies, this saga corre…

The first film of the saga, one that revisits the cult anime Neon Genesis Evangelion , but from other approaches. Here we do follow the story of the protagonist, and we understand much better the world where it unfolds,…
