Review - Bad hair@genesishealthy251d

Hello! 💙

La propuesta de este filme la verdad es que es muy claro es una película serie B en toda regla, pero el guión la verdad es que está muy bien logrado y los efectos especiales prácticos la verdad rivalizan bastante con producciones de terror de alto presupuesto, con esto no quiere decir que es una película perfecta ni que tampoco sea la mejor que he visto pero la verdad me llevo una grata sorpresa porque simplemente esperaba ver la típica película de terror que es tan mala que es buena.

The premise of this film is very clear: it's a full-fledged B movie, but the script is actually very well done and the practical special effects rival those of high-budget horror productions. That's not to say it's a perfect film or the best I've ever seen, but I was pleasantly surprised because I was expecting to see the typical horror film that's so bad it's good.

En este caso uno va con la perspectiva de ver una película mala pero realmente llega a ser entretenida el mensaje que tiene algunas personas les puede llegar más profundamente, si es verdad que en la parte final de la película si se queda bastante corta con lo que tiene que ver con efecto especiales pero si bien se ve raro no creo que esté mal del todo.

In this case, you go in expecting to see a bad movie, but it actually ends up being entertaining. The message it conveys may resonate more deeply with some people. It's true that the ending of the movie falls short in terms of special effects, but even though it looks strange, I don't think it's all bad.

Con respecto a las actuaciones cumplen con ser correctas ninguna actuación pueda decir que sea maravillosa pero ninguna llega a ser mala en realidad creo que no hay ninguna figura reconocible solamente uno de un rapero bastante famoso que prefiero no spoilear quién es, el resto recomiendo muchísimo darle una oportunidad a esta película por mero entretenimiento.

As far as the performances go, they're fine—none of them are amazing, but none of them are bad either. I don't think there are any recognizable figures, except for one pretty famous rapper who I'd rather not spoil for you. Other than that, I highly recommend giving this movie a shot for pure entertainment value.

A bit on productions that left me with the “what did I just watch” feeling. I’ve seen a few of these in my time and the whole concept, while okay at first, at the end left me with a uhmm...different taste in my mouth. But over here, we’re all about bringing Tv productions to light, whether bad or good. So, I’ll leave the judgement to you all to decide. How good or bad of a film was this?

Bad Hair (2020)

A bit on the background. So, released in January 2020, Bad Hair is a satirical black horror comedy film that is written, produced and directed by Justin Simien. It features renowned actors and stars like Jay Pharoah, Lena Waithe, Kelly Rowland, James Van Der Beek and a host of others. It had a budget of 8.9 million dollars and runs for about 102 minutes.

The film is set in the late 1970s were a young Anna attempts to relax her hair with the help of her older cousin, Linda but then her hair has a bad reaction to the cream that leaves a permanent scar on the back of her head. Fast forward to 1989 where Anna, now an adult is an assistant at Culture- a television station that promotes African-American artistes. With aspirations to move up the industry, Anna is disheartened when her boss and mentor is ousted by the owner of the station and replaced with former super model, Zora.

Zora takes a liking to Anna and makes her her an assistant but demands that in order for Anna to fit in with the company’s new image, her natural Afro has to be changed to a weave. Zora recommends Virgie’s, an upscale salon. Though an excruciating process, the weave is finally done with clear instructions that the hair never gets wet. What ensues afterwards for Anna makes her understand that she may have just taken on far more than what she can chew in the… bloodiest of ways.

I found this film disturbing in a lot of ways. I could understand that the CGI was not too amazing because it was a portrayed as a satirical film that was trying to represent a particular era. The concept in itself was nice because it was a play on insecurities, especially for black women in corporate America. I just wish there weren’t too many plot holes or there was a more defined and note-worthy ending to it, instead of a whole information dump that was too much to work with in the short span of time left.

The soundtracks though. I think that was my favourite part. The score was composed by Kris Bowers and three songs were co-written by Justin Simien and Kelly Rowland, who equally performed in the tracks. Really good stuff.

Anyway, just thought to share this with you guys and probably have your opinion for those who have watched it. Or maybe, your general thoughts on the storyline. Hope you enjoy!

›League of Movies (Fourth Edition | Week 02) - Bad Hair (Pelo Malo)@maeugenia2172d

I'm very excited to participate once again in this contest by our friend @wiseagent, League of Movies (HIVE WRITING CONTEST): Fourth Edition | Week 02 - "Roots". This week, the task is to talk about a film that was made in your country and I chose Bad Hair (Pelo Malo), a movie that focuses on sexuality and the Venezuelan society.

Bad Hair is a 2013 Venezuelan film written and directed by Mariana Rondón, it's about a little boy named Junior, who has what we call bad hair, this is a term that we use to refer to curly hair similar to that one of African Americans, Junior dislikes his hair and wants to straighten it up to look prettier. This obsession with his hair leads to fights with his mother, as she thinks he might be gay, this fear is worsened as his only friend is a girl and he likes to watch beauty pageants with her.

Junior and his single mother live in a shabby apartment that is in a very dangerous zone of Caracas, we even watch as the children fear getting raped through the conversations they have.

I think this movie is subtle and it reminds me of Moonlight (more like Moonlight reminds me of this movie since Bad Hair came out first). It focuses a lot on the visual aspect, it portrays our macho society that is very uncomfortable with anything that is different. This movie is framed in the time where president Hugo Chávez was dying, which paints an even more uncertain future as we didn't know what would happen to our country, we wondered if we would finally be free (sadly, we still aren't).

All of the actors are great, this movie also looks amazing. It actually won many awards, but most importantly, it won the Concha de Oro in 2013 and is one of the best indie films if not the best one that has come out of our country, this award almost never goes to countries from Latin America, so it was a surprise!

This movie is about our society that is so against accepting what is different, the focus on the hair also points out our racism against black people. This film also talks about how kids that live in poverty only have the option of becoming criminals or military men, Junior wants to dance and sing and his grandmother encourages him because she is afraid he'll become a criminal when he grows old. While the girls, on the other hand, have to focus on beauty. These children barely have any freedom to decide for themselves.

Bad Hair really resonated with me, it's a film about acceptance and it puts a mirror in front of us, it makes us see the reality in which we live in and makes a point of trying to change for the better.
