A Monster Calls | MOVIE REVIEW@fabian98767d

The Magic of Pain and Imagination.

The great pain that a child suffers when he sees his mother die of cancer is an extremely heartbreaking and traumatic experience. The innocence of childhood is interrupted by an implacable reality, where day to day life becomes an emotional battle. This process is a mixture of feelings that she cannot fully understand, such as fear, sadness and confusion, as well as uncertainty about the future.

Painful hospital visits, debilitating treatments and the mother's obvious distress become a constant reminder of the seriousness of the situation. The child may feel an overwhelming loneliness, even when surrounded by family and friends, because the pain he or she feels is deep and personal.

The despair and sadness can be manifested in the child in a variety of ways, from changes in behavior to difficulty concentrating in school. And this pain is not only something of the present, but also leaves emotional scars that can influence their life and their ability to form meaningful relationships in the future.

This painful subject is what this film directed by J.A. Bayona and based on the novel by Patrick Ness called: "A Monster Calls", this is a cinematic masterpiece that plunges into the depths of human pain and emerges with a powerful teaching about acceptance and emotional release.

This film stars Lewis MacDougall, Felicity Jones, Sigourney Weaver and is voiced by Liam Neeson, and as mentioned in the introduction, this film is not just a fantasy tale, but goes beyond that as a deeply human exploration of loss, fear and hope.

La Magia del Dolor y la Imaginación.

El gran dolor que sufre un niño cuando ve morir a su madre de cáncer es una experiencia extremadamente desgarradora y traumática. La inocencia de la infancia se ve interrumpida por una realidad implacable, en la que el día a día se convierte en una batalla emocional. Este proceso es una mezcla de sentimientos que ella no puede comprender del todo, como el miedo, la tristeza y la confusión, así como la incertidumbre sobre el futuro.

Las dolorosas visitas al hospital, los tratamientos debilitantes y la evidente angustia de la madre se convierten en un recordatorio constante de la gravedad de la situación. El niño puede sentir una soledad abrumadora, incluso cuando está rodeado de familiares y amigos, porque el dolor que siente es profundo y personal.

La desesperación y la tristeza pueden manifestarse en el niño de diversas maneras, desde cambios en el comportamiento hasta dificultad para concentrarse en la escuela. Y este dolor no es sólo algo del presente, sino que deja cicatrices emocionales que pueden influir en su vida y en su capacidad para entablar relaciones significativas en el futuro.

Este doloroso tema es el que trata esta película dirigida por J.A. Bayona y basada en la novela de Patrick Ness: "Un monstruo viene a verme", se trata de una obra maestra cinematográfica que se sumerge en las profundidades del dolor humano y emerge con una poderosa enseñanza sobre la aceptación y la liberación emocional.

Esta película está protagonizada por Lewis MacDougall, Felicity Jones, Sigourney Weaver y cuenta con la voz de Liam Neeson, y como se menciona en la introducción, esta película no es sólo un cuento de fantasía, sino que va más allá como una exploración profundamente humana de la pérdida, el miedo y la esperanza.

The story of this film centers on Conor O'Malley, a 12-year-old boy who is facing a huge emotional storm due to his mother's terminal illness. It changes when a monster appears from a tree outside Conor's window and manifests itself at 12:07 every night. This monster, not as an evil entity, but as a kind of guide that takes Conor through a series of stories that, although seemingly simple, have a very profound teaching and are full of complex truths about life and death, which can help Conor cope with his grief.

One thing that stands out about this film is that it uses the power of fantasy to address the harsher aspects of reality. The Monster as a Certain Life Guide tells Conor three stories, each with an underlying message that challenges simplistic perceptions of good and evil, truth and lies. These stories function as mirrors of Conor's inner struggles, as each is tied to him, reflecting his confusion, anger and pain. Moreover, the fusion of animation and live action not only creates a visually stunning aesthetic, but also symbolizes the interconnection between fantasy and reality in Conor's highly imaginative mind.

Now, if we talk about Lewis MacDougall's performance as Conor it is simply extraordinary. His performance perfectly captures the confusion, anger and grief of a child facing a very important impending loss. Conor's relationship with his mother is at the center of the film, and Felicity Jones gives a very impressive and moving performance as a woman trying to be strong for her son as her body gradually weakens until her death.

And Liam Neeson, with his deep, resonant voice, epically brings the monster to life with a mixture of authority and tenderness. Although initially frightening, the monster is not there to scare Conor, but to help him face his deepest fears, as he faces other struggles in addition to losing his mother and finding the truth in the midst of his emotional turmoil.

La historia de esta película se centra en Conor O'Malley, un niño de 12 años que se enfrenta a una gran tormenta emocional debido a la enfermedad terminal de su madre. Todo cambia cuando un monstruo aparece de un árbol frente a la ventana de Conor y se manifiesta a las 12:07 cada noche. Este monstruo, no como un ente maligno, sino como una especie de guía que lleva a Conor a través de una serie de historias que, aunque aparentemente sencillas, tienen una enseñanza muy profunda y están llenas de complejas verdades sobre la vida y la muerte, que pueden ayudar a Conor a sobrellevar su duelo.

Una cosa que destaca de esta película es que utiliza el poder de la fantasía para abordar los aspectos más duros de la realidad. El monstruo como cierta guía vital cuenta a Conor tres historias, cada una con un mensaje subyacente que desafía las percepciones simplistas del bien y el mal, la verdad y la mentira. Estas historias funcionan como espejos de las luchas interiores de Conor, ya que cada una está ligada a él, reflejando su confusión, ira y dolor. Además, la fusión de animación y acción real no sólo crea una estética visualmente impactante, sino que también simboliza la interconexión entre fantasía y realidad en la mente altamente imaginativa de Conor.

Ahora bien, si hablamos de la interpretación de Lewis MacDougall como Conor es sencillamente extraordinaria. Su actuación capta a la perfección la confusión, la ira y el dolor de un niño que se enfrenta a una pérdida inminente muy importante. La relación de Conor con su madre está en el centro de la película, y Felicity Jones ofrece una actuación impresionante y conmovedora como mujer que intenta ser fuerte para su hijo mientras su cuerpo se debilita gradualmente hasta su muerte.

Y Liam Neeson, con su voz profunda y resonante, da vida épicamente al monstruo con una mezcla de autoridad y ternura. Aunque al principio asusta, el monstruo no está ahí para asustar a Conor, sino para ayudarle a enfrentarse a sus miedos más profundos, mientras se enfrenta a otras luchas además de perder a su madre y encontrar la verdad en medio de su confusión emocional.

One of the most profound teachings of this film is the idea that it is okay to feel and express our emotions, no matter how chaotic or destructive they may be, as it shows us that there are right and wrong emotions in pain. It also shows that every feeling is valid and part of the healing process. Through his interactions with the monster, Conor learns that he must allow himself to feel his pain and anger in order to move forward and heal. The monster also teaches Conor that the truth of life and death is not always simple. The three stories he tells are full of nuances and contradictions, reflecting the complexity of real life.

Another thing somewhat complex but necessary in the film. It is Conor's relationship with his grandmother, which evolves significantly throughout the film. At first, the grandmother seems cold and distant, but as the story progresses, it is revealed that her sternness is a way of dealing with her own grief, as well as Conor's, and so Conor understands her. This development adds another layer of depth to the narrative, showing how different people deal with grief in different ways and how empathy and understanding is necessary to help bridge those gaps in order to heal.

Una de las enseñanzas más profundas de esta película es la idea de que está bien sentir y expresar nuestras emociones, por caóticas o destructivas que sean, ya que nos muestra que hay emociones correctas e incorrectas en el dolor. También muestra que todos los sentimientos son válidos y forman parte del proceso de curación. A través de sus interacciones con el monstruo, Conor aprende que debe permitirse sentir su dolor y su rabia para poder avanzar y curarse. El monstruo también enseña a Conor que la verdad sobre la vida y la muerte no siempre es sencilla. Las tres historias que cuenta están llenas de matices y contradicciones, reflejando la complejidad de la vida real.

Otra cosa algo compleja pero necesaria en la película. Es la relación de Conor con su abuela, que evoluciona significativamente a lo largo de la película. Al principio, la abuela parece fría y distante, pero a medida que avanza la historia, se revela que su severidad es una forma de lidiar con su propio dolor, así como con el de Conor, y así Conor la comprende. Esta evolución añade otra capa de profundidad a la narración, mostrando cómo personas diferentes afrontan el dolor de maneras diferentes y cómo la empatía y la comprensión son necesarias para ayudar a salvar esas diferencias con el fin de sanar.

Talking about the visuals, it is extremely surprising how animation and real life merge in a perfect way. Also the soundtrack is wonderful, and the work was entrusted to Fernando Velazquez, who with his excellent work, perfectly complements the atmosphere of the film. The music is very emotional and perfect, highlighting the most intense moments and providing a melodic backdrop that connects with the emotional experience of the audience.

To conclude, A Monster Calls is a perfect film that touches your soul. Out of curiosity I searched the internet for the most emotional movies, and well I found this great gem that goes unnoticed. With a moving narrative, stellar performances and a deep emotional teaching, it is a masterpiece that deals with grief and loss in such a unique and powerful way. It also invites us to reflect on our own emotions and reminds us of the importance of facing them with courage. Finally, a great lesson is that in a world where we are often told to be strong and hide our tears, this film is a fuller and more compassionate acceptance of our human experiences.

Hablando de los efectos visuales, es sumamente sorprendente cómo la animación y la vida real se funden de una manera perfecta. También la banda sonora es maravillosa, y el trabajo fue confiado a Fernando Velázquez, que con su excelente trabajo, complementa perfectamente la atmósfera de la película. La música es muy emotiva y perfecta, resaltando los momentos más intensos y proporcionando un fondo melódico que conecta con la experiencia emocional del espectador.

En conclusión, Un monstruo viene a verme es una película perfecta que te llega al alma. Por curiosidad busqué en internet las películas más emotivas, y bueno encontré esta gran joya que pasa desapercibida. Con una narrativa conmovedora, actuaciones estelares y una profunda enseñanza emocional, es una obra maestra que trata el dolor y la pérdida de una manera tan única y poderosa. También nos invita a reflexionar sobre nuestras propias emociones y nos recuerda la importancia de afrontarlas con valentía. Por último, una gran lección es que en un mundo en el que a menudo se nos dice que seamos fuertes y ocultemos nuestras lágrimas, esta película es una aceptación más plena y compasiva de nuestras experiencias humanas.

›A Monster Calls (2016) - Dejar ir, también es amar@mariaogliastre802d

Admito que soy demasiado miedosa y por el título de esta película no me había dado o oportunidad de verla, en especial porque siento que las películas de “terror” o suspenso con niños me da mucha ansiedad jajaja pero luego de ver un poco de que trataba si o si tenía que verla, así que hoy les cuento un poco de: A Monster Calls

Microsoft

Vemos cómo Conor, un niño de 12 años, tiene una extraña pesadilla en la sostiene a su madre en un risco y ella termina cayendo al vacío, Conor todas las mañanas se despierta y se atiende solo, es decir, de alista para ir al colegio, se hace el desayuno, es el encargado de la casa, ya que vemos que su mamá está bastante enferma, ella tiene cancer y se la vive agotada por un nuevo tratamiento, a demás que en su colegio sufre de abusos por sus compañeros y recibe burlas por la condición de su mamá.

Deluxe

Una noche mientras dibuja un “paisaje” como el de su pesadilla, a la misma hora que tiene las pesadillas, comienza a ver en frente de la ventana como desde ese árbol gigante se convierte en un monstruo y se comienza a acercar a Conor, el monstruo lo intenta asustar y le dice que ha venido por el, Conor parece no tener miedo, pero el monstruo le dice que volverá y le contará tres historias, luego de eso, Conor tendrá que contarle una historia, esta debe ser su verdad más profunda, eso que lo atormenta todas las noches.

Al día siguiente Conor tiene que lidiar con su abuela, este la verdad no esta feliz de que ella esté en la casa, él siente que puede ayudar a su madre el solo y que pronto mejorará, pero todo apunta a que la madre no va a mejorar y por eso en algún momento le tocará vivir solo con su abuela.

BBC

Esa noche viene el monstruo a contarle la primera historia, en la que nos enseña que no todo tiene un final feliz, que no todo lo que aparenta ser bueno lo es, ni todo lo que aparenta ser malo lo es, las personas somos una infinidad de pensamiento y acciones, que una sola no nos distingue como estamos acostumbrados a ver en otro tipo de historias.

Sus tres historias tienen el mismo transfondo, y aunque para Conor a veces es solo un sueño, causa que tenga algunas “malas actitudes” en la realidad, pero no suele ser castigado, ya que saben por lo que él está pasando, pero a su vez, él quiere ser castigado para de alguna forma ser reprendido por sus pensamientos más profundos y es que el monstruo aseguró venir a ayudarlo, pero eso no quiere decir que va a salvar a su mamá, sino a ayudarlo a soltarla sin sentir culpa y es que Conor desea que su madre deje de sufrir, prefiere verla morir que ver como sufre cada día, pero nada más de pensar y sentir esto, se castiga, piensa que es de lo peor por querer que si madre muera, cuando lo único que desea, es que deje de sufrir.

Cine y Psicologia

Él se sentía culpable por eso, quería ser castigado, pero nadie lo hacía, porque sabían que así no se solucionaba la situación que él pasaba, así que “monstruo” vino a ayudarlo a sanar y a hacerle entender todo lo que él está viviendo.

Esta película es preciosa, nunca me había dado la oportunidad de verla, pero si había visto muchos reviews, muchas reseñas que te dejaban llorando y es que si, amar también es dejar ir, amar tanto a alguien que prefieres que ya no esté a tu lado con tal y esa persona no sufra más, es el amor más puro y como los niños frente a esta situación sufren más porque no entienden eso que sienten, y es que si a uno le da impotencia no poder hacer nada, imagínate como se siente un niño, se que yo soy muy sensible con algunos temas, pero se que está película los hará llorar, si no la han visto, háganlo, verán todo desde otra perspectiva.

English

I admit that I am too afraid and because of the title of this movie I had not given myself the opportunity to see it, especially because I feel that “horror” or suspense movies with children make me very anxious hahaha but after seeing a little bit of what it was about yes or yes I had to see it, so today I'm telling you a little about: A Monster Calls

Microsoft

We see how Conor, a 12-year-old boy, has a strange nightmare in which he holds his mother on a cliff and she ends up falling into the void. Conor wakes up every morning and takes care of himself, that is, getting ready to go to school. , he makes breakfast, he is in charge of the house, since we see that his mother is quite sick, she has cancer and is exhausted by a new treatment, in addition to the fact that at school he suffers abuse from his classmates and receives teasing about his mother's condition.

Deluxe

One night while drawing a “landscape” like the one in his nightmare, at the same time he has the nightmares, he begins to see in front of the window how from that giant tree he turns into a monster and begins to approach Conor, the The monster tries to scare him and tells him that he has come for him, Conor seems not to be afraid, but the monster tells him that he will come back and tell him three stories, after that, Conor will have to tell him a story, this must be his deepest truth , that which torments him every night.

The next day Conor has to deal with his grandmother, the truth is he is not happy that she is in the house, he feels that he can help his mother on his own and that she will soon get better, but everything indicates that the mother is not going to improve and that is why at some point he will have to live alone with his grandmother.

BBC

That night the monster comes to tell the first story, in which he teaches us that not everything has a happy ending, that not everything that appears to be good is, nor is everything that appears to be bad, people are infinite. of thought and actions, that one does not distinguish us as we are used to seeing in other types of stories.

Their three stories have the same background, and although for Conor sometimes it is just a dream, it causes him to have some “bad attitudes” in reality, but he is not usually punished, since they know what he is going through, but at the same time Maybe, he wants to be punished to somehow be reprimanded for his deepest thoughts and the monster claimed to come to help him, but that does not mean that he is going to save his mother, but rather to help him let go of her without feeling guilty and it is that Conor wants his mother to stop suffering, he prefers to see her die than to see how she suffers every day, but as soon as he thinks and feels this, he punishes himself, he thinks that he is the worst for wanting his mother to die, when all he wants is , is to stop suffering.

Cine y Psicologia

He felt guilty for that, he wanted to be punished, but no one did, because they knew that this would not solve the situation he was going through, so “monster” came to help him heal and make him understand everything he is experiencing.

This movie is beautiful, I had never had the opportunity to see it, but I had seen many reviews, many reviews that left you crying and yes, loving is also letting go, loving someone so much that you prefer that they are no longer around you. side with someone and that person does not suffer anymore, it is the purest love and how children in this situation suffer more because they do not understand what they feel, and if one feels helpless at not being able to do anything, imagine how it feels. a child, I know that I am very sensitive about some topics, but I know that this movie will make you cry, if you have not seen it, do so, you will see everything from another perspective.

›A Monster Calls, a must-see film.@petercurator941d
[Source](https://www.filmaffinity.com/ve/filmimages.php?movie_id=269350)

This film packs an emotional punch like few others. Directed by J.A. Bayona, it taps into deep wells of longing, loss and grief through a truly imaginative lens.

The central concept of a tree-like monster awakening to help a boy cope with his mother's impending death is beautifully realized.

It's haunting yet hopeful, scary yet comforting. I was in awe of how the monster's fables wove real life lessons into fantastical worlds.
[Source](https://www.filmaffinity.com/ve/filmimages.php?movie_id=269350)

What really struck me was the tender yet truthful way it portrayed the confusion, fear and anger that comes with facing mortality at a young age. Lewis MacDougall gives a devastatingly vulnerable performance.

And the bittersweet ending left me in tears, providing just the right blend of catharsis and lingering unease that reflects how loss continues to echo in the emptied spaces it leaves.

Overall, it's an incredibly moving film experience - one that will likely stay with you for days after as you process its universal messages about home, family and making peace with life's most profound mysteries.

For any lover of stories, "A Monster Calls" is a must-see.

En general, la película nos deja varias lecciones de vida valiosas que pueden ayudarnos a sortear situaciones difíciles y a apreciar el poder de la imaginación y la narración. Es una película que puede ser para niños pero con acompañamiento advierto que el final me dejó muy mal 💔 termine llorando sin pesar que lloraría tanto al saber lo que se venía por haber leído el libro. No me gustan las películas de fantasía a menos de que tengan drama, suspenso o romance jaja. Puedo decir que la película pudo haber sido mejor aunque aún así me gustó gran parte de lo que ví. Una anécdota que les cuento es que después de haber leído el libro le mandé un mensaje al escritor por Instagram y le dió me gusta a mi comentario, me sentí tan feliz de que lo leyera, fue genial.

Overall, the movie leaves us with several valuable life lessons that can help us navigate difficult situations and appreciate the power of imagination and storytelling. It's a movie that can be kid friendly but with accompaniment I warn that the ending left me feeling very bad 💔 I ended up crying with no regret that I would cry so much knowing what was coming because I read the book. I don't like fantasy movies unless they have drama, suspense or romance haha. I can say that the movie could have been better although I still liked most of what I saw. One anecdote I'll tell you is that after I read the book I messaged the writer on Instagram and he liked my comment, I was so happy he read it, it was great.

Espero que les gustara mi reseña y se animen a ver esta pelicula, puede encontrarla en Cuevana y en otras páginas de streaming de películas. Gracias por llegar hasta aquí y apoyarme siempre 🧡

›A Monster Calls (film): A pretty great movie that did very poorly@gooddream2427d
It's anyone's guess as to why this film managed to lose money because it certainly had a lot going for it. It had big names in the cast, it had a massive budget, it had some really great CGI that was showcased in the posters and trailers, it was released around the Christmas holidays, and early reviews were mostly positive. So what's the deal here?

source

A Monster Calls is a fantasy film (this could be the first problem with mass appeal) based in England and centers around a disturbed boy named Conor O'Malley (Lewis MacDougall) and how his life is wracked with problems including his parents being divorced, getting bullied at school, and the big one is how his mother (Felicity Jones,) who he has a very close relationship with, is suffering from terminal cancer.

source

Conor is a very talented artist and his room is filled with painting and drawings and one night, his imagination or actual magic, brings a massive monster crashing towards his house. However, this beast is not here to hurt him, it is there to help him.

This is accomplished through a series of stories that The Monster tells Conor - all of which have dubious lessons woven into the tale that confuse the boy, but it all comes together in the end if you pay attention.
[source](https://img.rasset.ie/000d554f-500.jpg)
A big plus of this film is obviously the Monster itself, which is beautifully animated and voiced by Liam Neeson and at least for me, there is just something about that man's voice that I find so entrancing.

Despite being heavily featured in the advertising materials, Sigourney Weaver isn't in very much of the film. Casting her at all was a strange decision in my mind since I don't think Weaver is much of a box-office draw, is she? Certainly there were plenty of British actresses that were willing to take on the role.

I would personally like to have a British opinion on whether or not her British accent is convincing as we rarely see Americans placed in films where they have to put on an accent. It sounds fine to me, but I might not have the right "ear" for this.

source

So why did the film do so poorly? They had planned a $10 million opening weekend and managed to pull in less than $4 million over the film's entire run in North America (only 3 weeks.)

I don't know exactly what went wrong but I have some ideas.
- For one thing, the Christmas / New Year period is an extremely competitive time of year and a film needs to catch on immediately, which this film failed to do despite only really competing with Underworld in the opening weekend.
- Fantasy films are a tough sell. I like them and really look forward to them but I don't think this is the prevailing human sentiment.
- It wasn't a kids movie, and it wasn't an adult movie. It was something in-between and well, we all know that sadly, movies need to appeal to kids for the most part to pull in the billions.
- The main character is a child. This might only apply to me but I tend to avoid films with young leads mostly because I find child actors annoying - a feeling that I frequently felt during this film.
- This might sound condescending, but the word "calls" indicates in a lot of countries that someone is ringing on the phone. I wonder if the movie would have performed better if it had been called "A Monster Visits."

Basically, I actually have the same feelings about this film that most critics had in that I thought it was a lot better than the failure it appeared to be financially. However, this also means that there is a very good chance that a lot of you managed to not see it and if that is the case, well now you have something to perhaps look forward to.

I found the movie touching and aside from some irritating scenes where Conor acts like a bit too much of a brat, the acting is pretty sound. The special effects are world-class and the soundtrack / overall ambiance is damn near perfect.

It appears to be a fantasy film, but mostly it is a tale of human emotion and well, there are some tear-jerker moments that got to me and if you have a soul the same will likely happen to you.

Every now and then a film comes by that I can't understand how it failed to catch on with the public and while this movie certainly isn't epic it is one of the better films I have seen say, in the past 2 weeks. Mostly, it is a lot better than the financial performance would indicate. I would gladly watch it again and when I can say that, it is a pretty good sign in my mind that it is pretty good.

My overall rating! 7 / 10
