   Si hay una película que marco un antes y después en las adaptaciones actuales adolescentes, esa es After. Una historia que nació hace tantos años, de un fanfic, el cual causo un impacto porque para su público, gusto muchísimo. Y les voy a ser honesta, yo nunca fui fan de la historia, no porque fuese mala, sino que el rollo de One Direction no me encantaba, así que me evitaba leer esas historias. Pero, si estuve consciente de que a la gente la amaba, luego cuando adaptaron la historia tampoco la vi, si no hasta hace pocos días que aburrida en mi casa, es que decido verla.

   If there is a movie that marked a before and after in the current teen adaptations, that is After. A story that was born so many years ago, from a fanfic, which caused an impact because for its audience, it was very much to their liking. And I'll be honest, I was never a fan of the story, not because it was bad, but because I didn't love the One Direction stuff, so I avoided reading those stories. But, if I was aware that people loved it, then when they adapted the story I didn't watch it either, until a few days ago when I was bored at home, I decided to watch it.

   En esta oportunidad no quiero analizar la historia, puesto que es una muy cliché, que todos conocemos y que la verdad no es nada del otro mundo, es hasta repetitiva. Después de ver la película no sentí cringe, la verdad es una historia adolescente muy normal, con su drama, pero siento que es para un público en específico, definitivamente no es una para todo el mundo y es lo que la gente no entiende, así que prefiere tirarle Hate. Si bien la historia de Tessa y Hardin es un poco cuestionable, por el rollo de la apuesta, de que Hardin es bastante agresivo, de que Tessa es un poco tímida y dejada, cuando te enganchas con la película quieres ver un poco más, sin sentir que es lo más impresionante, pero definitivamente si distrae y eso también está bien. 

   In this opportunity I don't want to analyze the story, since it is a very cliché one, that we all know and that the truth is nothing out of this world, it is even repetitive. After watching the movie I didn't feel cringe, the truth is a very normal teenage story, with its drama, but I feel it's for a specific audience, it's definitely not one for everyone and that's what people don't understand, so they prefer to throw Hate at it. While Tessa and Hardin's story is a bit questionable, because of the betting thing, of Hardin being quite aggressive, of Tessa being a bit shy and left behind, when you get hooked with the movie you want to see a bit more, without feeling like it's the most impressive thing, but it definitely does distract and that's fine too.

   Por otro lado, siento que me gustan las actuaciones, los diálogos y el lugar donde está ambientada esta película, no se siente como algo de baja calidad y eso hace muy llevadero el hecho de que es simplemente una película para adolescentes, de esos que amaban leer en Wattpad en los años 2012-2014. ¿La recomiendo ver? Solo si eras una persona que, en sus tiempos, le gustaba ese tipo de historia, hay que verlas con esos ojos para no criticarla demasiado, puesto que está orientada a ese target.

   On the other hand, I feel that I like the performances, the dialogues and the place where this movie is set, it doesn't feel like something of low quality and that makes very bearable the fact that it is simply a movie for teenagers, of those who loved to read on Wattpad in the years 2012-2014. Do I recommend watching it? Only if you were a person who, back in the day, liked that kind of story, you have to watch it with those eyes so as not to criticize it too much, since it is geared towards that target.

   Últimamente, me ha puesto a pensar en que, no todas las películas deben sé intensamente buenas, que deben ser las mejores y que todo tiene que ser impresionante. A veces está bien disfrutar de historias regulares, que no sean malas, pero que tampoco sean increíbles, se puede ver tranquilamente y está bien. Para mí, After, es una historia regular, pero no en el mal sentido, sino que es una historia para un público en específico y si no estás en él, quizás no te encante, pero si quieres distraerte puedes verla sin problema. ¡Espero que les haya gustado conocer mis opiniones neutrales, nos leemos pronto!

   Lately, it has got me thinking that, not all movies should be intensely good, that they should be the best and that everything has to be awesome. Sometimes it's okay to enjoy regular stories that aren't bad, but aren't unbelievable either, you can watch them quietly and that's okay. For me, After, is a regular story, but not in a bad way, but it is a story for a specific audience and if you are not in it, you may not love it, but if you want to distract you can watch it without any problem. I hope you liked to know my neutral opinions, see you soon!

2. ›After (Netflix film) : The trailer gives the entire stupid story@gooddream2542d

   Following my promise I made around 5 months ago to watch literally anything that Netflix recommends to me, I was somewhat obligated to watch this even though after seeing the trailer I, and pretty much anyone else with a brain, knew the entire story.

   source

   I will go ahead and admit that I did not watch every minute of it, I scanned through a lot of it and that is simply because of the fact that the preview that pops up leaves nothing to the imagination. There are not twists, no surprises in this cookie-cutter teenage drama. It is a teenage / young adult love story and absolutely nothing original happens at any point in the entire 90 minutes or so.

   So here's the story: Excellent student and "good girl" named Tessa (played actually quite well by newcomer Josephine Langford) goes off to college, kisses her still-in-high-school-for-another-year boyfriend goodbye and takes all of about 3 days to hook up with someone new.

   She meets "Hardin" at a frat party and he is the "bad boy" type (Hardin is played by an actor named Hero Fiennes-Tiffin, who I now hate because he did terribly in this film and no one's first name is "Hero.") How do we know that Hardin is a "bad boy?" Well because he is in college and already has a bunch of tattoos, is anti-social yet adored, and has what I believe to be a British accent. Let's forget the fact that he is maybe 130 lbs soaking wet with a backpack on, he is tough!

   _{if I encountered this "bad boy" on the street, i don't know what my reaction would be.... almost certainly not fear}

   Tess predictably gets into a relationship with Hardin and she has a crisis of conscious because of her relationship with her boyfriend back in her high-school hometown. This doesn't stop her from being romantically involved with him though and whatever... she's in college and I honestly don't care.

   I thought it was funny that even this garbage film was not safe from the SJW senseless ire though. They attacked the film for "glorifying unhealthy relationships." Even horrible fan-fiction (that's what this film is based on by the way - a fan of Harry Styles imagined a story where she randomly meets him.) Many people tried to make a connection between this film and "50 shades" although they honestly have nothing in common other than absurd characters.

   Urgh! I cringed a few times just re-watching that trailer. Rest easy though, if you made it through that 1 minute and 18 seconds you no longer need to suffer through the film because you already know everything.

   I think it says a lot about society today when something like this can get released to almost universal negative criticism yet still manages to turn 14 million into 65 million at the box office. Hero is only in this film because he is related to Ralph Fiennes, not that I have a problem with Nepotism but dear lord it was difficult to watch his acting.

   On a scale of "Urgh!" to "Wowsers!" I give After a rather enthusiastic.....
