1. ›[My Movie Review] Hancock [ENG - ITA]@claudio832371d

   Hancock is a film that tells the story of a somewhat anomalous superhero, he is often drunk and when he intervenes to do good deeds, he often causes much more damage. It is able to fly and is immune to any firearm or blunt body although it is careless and has no sense of proportion.

   

   ---

   The inhabitants of Los Angeles, after the umpteenth destructive episode of Hancock, the inhabitants, already annoyed by his too impetuous interventions, begin to raise controversy and ask for the superhero's departure from the city for their safety.

   Among his bailouts, Hancock meets Ray, a public relations man who tries to help him by providing advice to improve his image. The results are bad and Hancock continues to have an unharmonious attitude until the prosecutor sentences him to a prison sentence and Ray advises him to form himself and the hero is imprisoned in prison.

   After some time, however, his intervention is required to resolve a difficult situation in the city caused by a violent robbery with many hostages. This time Hancock follows Ray's advice and easily resolves the case without damaging anything. To celebrate Ray invites him to his home and here he gets to know Mary better, his wife from Ray, and soon discovers that she too has supernatural powers. During a heated argument, Mary explains to Hancock that they are the only survivors of their species and that in the past they were a couple but the weakness of their species consists in the closeness between the two individuals of the same species, which is the cause of their loss of powers.

   During a robbery, Hancock the immortal is wounded for the first time by a bullet and Mary runs to the hospital to assist him: here he tells the true story of the two of them, in the past husband and wife and they had decided to live together giving up their powers. But this decision resulted in the rebellion of their fellow men and they were forced to leave their world. While in hospital, a gang of criminals wishing for revenge show up in the hospital and seriously injure Mary. Only Ray's intervention can save them from gang violence.

   So Hancock decides to move away from Mary, thus helping her to heal and accepting her relationship with Ray.

   ITA

   Hancok è un film che narra le vicende di un supereroe un pò anomalo, spesso è ubriaco e quando interviene per fare delle buone azioni, causa spesso danni ben maggiori. E' in grado di volare ed è immune a qualsiasi arma da fuoco o corpo contundente sebbene sia sbadato e non ha il senso della misura.

   

   ---

   Gli abitanti di Los Angeles, dopo l'ennesimo episodio distruttivo di Hancock, gli abitanti, già infastiditi dai suoi interventi fin troppo impetuosi, iniziano a sollevare polemiche e chiedono l'allontanamento del supereroe dalla città per la loro sicurezza.

   Tra le sue azioni di salvataggio, Hancock incontra Ray, un uomo che si occupa di pubbliche relazioni il quale cerca di aiutarlo, fornendo consigli per migliorare la sua immagine. I risultati sono pessimi e Hancock continua ad avere un atteggiamento poco armonico fin quando il procuratore lo condanna ad una pena detentiva e Ray gli consiglia di costituirsi e l'eroe è recluso in galera.

   Dopo un pò di tempo però è richiesto il suo intervento per risolvere una situazione difficile in città causato da una rapina violenta con moltissimi ostaggi. Hancock questa volta segue i consigli di Ray e risolve agilmente il caso senza danneggiare nulla. Per festeggiare Ray lo invita a casa e qui ha modo di conoscere meglio Mary, la moglie da Ray, e ben presto scopre che anche lei è dotata di poteri sovrannaturali. Mary spiega ad Hancock, durate un acceso diverbio che sono gli unici superstiti della loro specie e che in passato erano una coppia ma la debolezza della loro specie consiste nella vicinanza tra i due individui della stessa specie, la quale è la causa della loro perdita dei poteri.

   Durante una rapina, Hancock l'immortale è ferito per la prima volta da una pallottola e Mary corre in ospedale per assisterlo: qui racconta la vera storia di loro due, in passato marito e moglie e avevano deciso di vivere assieme rinunciando ai poteri. Ma questa decisione ha scaturito la ribellione dei loro simili e sono stati costretti a lasciare il loro mondo. Durante la permanenza in ospedale, una banda di malviventi desiderosi di vendetta, si presentano in ospedale e feriscono gravemente Mary. Solo l'intervento di Ray riesce a salvarli dalla violenza della banda.

   Così Hancock decide di allontanarsi da Mary, aiutandola così a guarire e accettando il suo rapporto con Ray.

2. ›Hancock: La historia detrás de un héroe dañado@josalarcon22429d

   La mayoría de las películas de superhéroes se centran en un joven héroe que comienza su camino hacia la grandeza, a partir de algo trágico que le da la vocación de proteger a la gente. Sin embargo, no todos los héroes tienen el mismo tipo de origen y mucho menos se desarrollan heroicamente de la misma manera, Hancock, por ejemplo, nos presenta a un héroe acabado, humano y lleno de defectos y problemas que todo el mundo podría tener.

   Hancock se centra en un hombre capaz de hacer cualquier cosa, pero que sin embargo elige hacerlo a regañadientes y sin compromiso, un hombre que no siente la vocación de héroe y que, en cambio, lo hace más que nada por presión social.

   [Source](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/8960-hancock?language=en-US) # # La historia # Esta es una historia de superhéroes que no se centra tanto en el superhéroe, lo que quiero decir es que en esta película lo más importante es el hombre detrás de la capa, un hombre con vicios, defectos y muchos problemas que hacen que la sociedad, en general, lo odie a pesar de ser un superhéroe, un superhéroe que no es una mala persona, pero que es malo siendo un superhéroe. Ese es el ingrediente principal de esta historia, un superhéroe que no hace bien su trabajo y que en cambio causa más daño del que evita, más problemas de los que resuelve y que, por lo tanto, es odiado por la sociedad, un superhéroe que se emborracha la mayoría de las veces y que duerme en plazas y bancos de la calle... básicamente un vagabundo. # [Source](https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiu1f-HmablAhVO1VkKHekmAkEQjhx6BAgBEAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Focchimagazine.com%2Fdvd-netflix-hancock-has-a-romantic-story-thats-not-neatly-wrapped-in-a-beautiful-bow%2F&psig=AOvVaw1YJpMALVfOIkAr7K2KZkbq&ust=1571501382494920) # La historia es muy interesante porque nos permite explorar la vida de un superhéroe de una manera más humana a través de la gran revelación que le permite enderezar su camino y convertirse en el superhéroe que todos esperan de él. Afortunadamente Hancock recibe ayuda de un publicista para enderezar su camino, un publicista que le hace ver la realidad y ser mejor. Sin embargo, este publicista está casada con una mujer que acaba formando parte de la misma raza de Hancock y que ha estado oculta todo este tiempo.

   A partir de esa revelación la trama se vuelve más intensa y dramática, porque después de haber superado su conflicto con las adicciones, Hancock tendrá que enfrentarse a la verdad de saber que esta mujer era su compañera y que en lugar de quedarse con él, decidió dejarlo con a su propia suerte. Una historia seria, bien desarrollada, y aunque no perfecta es súper entretenida por el diferente ángulo de exploración que da a los superhéroes.

   La interpretación de Will Smith es absolutamente fantástica, da vida a un héroe borracho de una manera fantástica, se pone la piel de un adicto que consigue resaltar su actuación de manera increíble. En cada gesto, en cada mirada, en cada diálogo vemos a alguien que más que no querer ser un buen héroe parece que no le importa, básicamente hace el menor esfuerzo posible por ayudar. El carisma que transmite Will Smith es esencial porque da vida a un personaje odiado por ser tan desastroso pero que en el fondo es una buena persona, sólo que se siente solo y dañado.

Un héroe que después de descubrir que estaba solo, se rompe mentalmente, pero logra recuperarse y permanecer en el mismo camino de bien que había logrado. # # Resumen # Puede que pienses diferente, pero para mí esta es una gran película de superhéroes que consigue transmitir maravillosamente todo el peso y el dolor de querer ser mejor de lo que eres. Una película que da un toque más realista a algo tan fantástico como tener superpoderes, una película que consigue resaltar la humanidad de un personaje que no es humano en absoluto; alguien con los mismos problemas y vicios que cualquier persona común podría tener, pero que con ayuda consigue convertirse en la mejor versión de sí mismo.

   Una película muy entretenida que tiene momentos cómicos y dramáticos muy bien combinados para que nadie eclipse al otro.

3. ›[AAA][Review #27] Hancock@josalarcon22448d

   Most superhero movies focus on a young hero who begins his path to greatness, from something tragic that gives him the vocation to protect people. However not all heroes have the same type of origin and much less develop heroically in the same way, Hancock, for example, presents us with a hero finished, human and full of defects and problems that everyone could have.

   Hancock focuses on a man capable of doing anything, but who nevertheless chooses to do it reluctantly and without compromise, a man who does not feel the vocation of hero and instead does it more than anything by social pressure.

   [Source](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/8960-hancock?language=en-US) # # The Story # This is a story of superheroes that does not focus so much on the superhero, what I mean is that in this movie the most important thing is the man behind the cape, a man with vices, defects and a lot of problems that make society, in general, hate him despite being a superhero, a superhero who is not a bad person, but that it is bad being a superhero. That is the main ingredient of this story, a superhero who does not do his job well and instead causes more damage than he avoids, more problems than he solves and is, therefore, is disliked by society, a superhero who is drunk most of the times and that sleeps in squares and street benches... a homeless person basically. # [Source](https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiu1f-HmablAhVO1VkKHekmAkEQjhx6BAgBEAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Focchimagazine.com%2Fdvd-netflix-hancock-has-a-romantic-story-thats-not-neatly-wrapped-in-a-beautiful-bow%2F&psig=AOvVaw1YJpMALVfOIkAr7K2KZkbq&ust=1571501382494920) # The story is very interesting because it allows us to explore the life of a superhero in a more humane way through the great revelation that allows him to straighten out his path and become the superhero that everyone expects him to be. Fortunately Hancock gets help from an advertiser to straighten his path, an advertiser who makes him see reality and become better. However this publicist is married to a woman who ends up being part of the same race of Hancock and has been hidden all this time.

   From that revelation the plot becomes more intense and dramatic because having overcome his conflict with addictions now Hancock will have to deal with the truth of knowing that this woman was his partner and that instead of staying with him she decided to leave him on his own luck. A serious story, well developed, and although not perfect is super entertaining because of the different angle of exploration that gives to superheroes.

   The interpretation of Will Smith is absolutely fantastic, gives life to a drunken hero in a great way, puts on an addict's skin that manages to highlight his performance incredibly. In every gesture, in every glance, in every dialogue we see someone who more than not wanting to be a good hero seems not to care, basically makes the least effort possible to help. The charisma that transmits Will Smith is essential because it gives life to a character hated for being so disastrous but that deep down is a good person, only that feels lonely and damaged.

A hero who after discovering that he was alone, breaks mentally, but manages to recover and stay on the same path of good he had achieved. # # Summary # You may think differently, but for me this is a great superhero movie that manages to wonderfully transmit all the weight and pain of wanting to be better than you are. A movie that gives a more realistic touch to something as fantasious as having superpowers, a film that manages to highlight the humanity of a character who is not human at all; someone with the same problems and vices that any common person could have, but with help manages to become the best version of himself.

   A very entertaining movie that has comic and dramatic moments very well combined so that no one overshadows the other.
