1. ›Leave the World Behind (2023) || You Will Wrestle With The Not Knowing@teknon315d

   

   This is one of those movies I watch, sigh and say “favoritism made me do it.” For the love or should I say admiration for Julia Roberts. I don’t think I’ve seen any of her films in a long while so coming across this one, I didn’t think twice, I just watched.

   

   But, whatever I later got from this film wasn’t what I expected from it. I don’t know what I really expected but I honestly didn’t think it was an ‘end of the world’ kinda film. I’ll also warn you; it’s not your typical “end of the world” movie. It’s not filled with explosions nor is it about saving humanity in some grand heroic gesture. It rather focuses on a small group of people, one house and the terrifying not knowing of what’s happening beyond the walls.

   

   The setup is pretty simple: Amanda (Julia Roberts) and her husband Clay (Ethan Hawke) rent a luxurious home for a family getaway. But their seemingly peaceful vacation gets disrupted when the owners of the house, GH(Mahershala Ali) and his daughter Ruth (Myha’la), show up unexpectedly, claiming that a sudden blackout has knocked out power across the city. With no internet, no news and strange occurrences piling up (animals behaving oddly, tech failures, planes falling from the sky), the tension isn’t just about what’s happening “out there”, it’s also about trust, fear and who they choose to believe when nothing makes sense.

   The film leans into paranoia and never gives you easy answers which may likely frustrate you. The characters were just as clueless as I was and the longer it went, the more I felt that creeping dread of being cut off from the world.

   

   Performance-wise, Julia Roberts delivers. She’s tense, suspicious and layered. Mahershala Ali^{first impression of him}, carries a calm but commanding presence that makes you hang onto every word that comes out of his mouth. I was really trusting him to fix the situation because of how collected he seemed. Ethan Hawke plays Clay as almost painfully passive, which works anyway because it highlights how unprepared most of us would really be if we were to ever be in same situation.

   The film isn’t fast and I think that’s deliberate.^{I watched it at 1.5x speed anyway}

   

   Not going to lie, I found it too slow. At some point I was frustrated and that’s mostly because this movie avoids giving a neat, tied-up explanation for whatever the hell was happening. I hated the idea of wrestling with the not knowing, just like the characters. I needed a freaking explanation.

   Nevertheless, it’s sleek visually but unsettling. You know, little touches like a herd of deer, the silence of empty skies, the flicker of dying screens just sticks with you. It’s less about spectacle and more about mood.

   

   Would I recommend it? Yes but with a caveat. If you want a big disaster movie energy, you will be let DOWN!. But if you’re into slow-burn psychological thrillers that poke at your anxieties about technology, society and trust, then go for it.

   Rating? ⅗.

2. ›Leave the World Behind Review : A Chilling Sci-Fi Thriller You Can’t Miss@papamogambo469d

   I finally saw "Leave the World Behind" movie. It is a Sci-fi/Thriller movie. I will review this movie and share my thoughts on how I liked it.

   

   Story Overview

   In the movie we see the story of a family. Where they make vacation plans. So they also book a house. Which was a much nicer house but they got it at a much lower price. So they continued to rejoice but one day in the middle of the night the owner of that house came there. And say the house is theirs but they don't see it as their house. And soon after they arrived, some strange things started happening. For example, there were cyber attacks in America too, ships fighting each other, planes crashing, and many other such incidents. This is what you can see in the movie why these strange events were happening?

   Suspense & Thriller Elements

   It is a drama, thriller movie and more than that it is a suspense, mystery movie. Where the mystery of the movie will make you wonder what is going on here? Even when the movie is 95 percent over, you won't understand what's going on here. And when you understand why this is happening, you will be shocked. There are many things in the movie that keep you hooked.

   My Experience & Thoughts

   Early in the movie I thought it was the work of aliens. But you can understand whose work it is after watching the movie, I won't give any spoilers.

   It is a suspenseful, thriller movie that keeps the suspense till the end of the movie. Sometimes there will be some incidents in the movie which will make you curious to know the mystery of this movie. I finished the movie from start to finish in one go. No place was boring at all. The length of the movie is 2 hours and 31 minutes but the movie ends very quickly, the time does not let you know.

   Negative Aspects

   There is a possible downside. That is, it has no happy ending. If you like happy ending movies, then you might be a little disappointed in this place.

   Final Verdict & Rating

   Actually this movie is much better. I will rate this movie 9 out of 10. In the end I will tell you that watch the movie, you will really like it a lot.

   If you have already watched this movie, let us know in the comments what's your thought.

   [Source](https://www.filmaffinity.com/ve/filmimages.php?movie_id=290444)

    

   The mastermind behind Mr. Robot (2015) presents ‘Leave the World Behind’ on Netflix. This thrilling film delves into the realm of conspiracy as a family embarks on a brief getaway, seeking solace in an isolated house, far from the hustle and bustle of their urban lives.

   After returning home, the family settles into what appears to be a normal routine. The children splash happily in the pool while the parents, played by Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke, relax with a glass of wine, momentarily escaping the pressures of everyday life.

   However, in an unexpected turn of events, chaos ensues. Ships crash into the shore, planes plummet, the electricity suddenly goes out and the phone signal mysteriously vanishes.

   It is in this convergence of calamitous events that thoughts naturally gravitate towards the notion of an impending apocalypse.

   [Source](https://www.filmaffinity.com/ve/filmimages.php?movie_id=290444)

    

   The essence of the film lies in exploring the consequences of a possible collapse of our current system. It delves into the question of how humanity would respond and adapt in such a scenario.

   Would we possess the knowledge and capacity to navigate through this new reality?

   The system itself has become dependent on external support, but it remains uncertain whether those in power have intentionally initiated this dependency or simply allowed the idea to spread among a fearful population.

   As the film unfolds, the plot takes us into a world where the system has collapsed. The origins of this devastation remain unknown, but we witness protagonists driven by a desperate search for answers, seeking solutions to their difficulties.

   [Source](https://www.filmaffinity.com/ve/filmimages.php?movie_id=290444)

    

   The aim of the film is to provoke contemplation about existence within a social framework. Humans, like animals, possess an inherent sociability.

   The only distinction lies in the human being's ability to choose between joining a collective or opting for isolation in the belief that it may lead to a more favourable outcome.

   Gender, age, religion and sexual orientation have no relevance in this matter. The undeniable truth remains that we are interdependent beings and evading this reality is futile. It is therefore prudent to acclimatise quickly to this notion.

   The absence of novelty or wonder does not detract from the positive reception of witnessing characters face such challenges.

   The intrigue of observing human responses to uncertain circumstances remains unwavering.

   Despite one's own perceived capabilities, it is only through direct experience that one can gain true knowledge of one's own capabilities.

4. ›Leave the World Behind (movie review)@tegoshei895d

   
   Have there been times when you just want to escape reality and be in an entirely different world? The movie which is entitled, ***"Leave the World Behind"*** somehow depicts both the literal and figurative meaning of its title.
   

   IMAGE SOURCE

   
   In the movie, Amanda Sandford *(played by Julia Roberts)* booked a luxurious rental home for her and her family to stay at for the weekend. She has been too exhausted from work, so has her husband. They thought it could be a great escape and a chance to relax and bond with their two kids.
   

   While they were at the beach that weekend, something strange started happening and continued on for the next days. There was no signal, animals started acting strange and two people suddenly appeared in front of their rental home.
   

   IMAGE SOURCE

   
   The movie was a little bit of everything, to be honest. It wasn't confusing... just a little intriguing. A lot of things were happening at the same time which are not properly explained. I'm not complaining though because I enjoyed it.
   I personally like it when a movie allows me to make my own conclusions instead of giving every explanation away. I find it fun and engaging in a way. Anyway, here's the trailer of the said movie below.
   [VIDEO SOURCE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMVBi_e8o-Y)
   Despite having a quite unrealistic setting, the characters reaction towards what's happening were relatable. It's interesting how every character represent a certain type of person. It shows how people deal with various events, other people and their own self.
   

   IMAGE SOURCE

   
   I've read some reviews on this movie and a lot of people were not impressed by the ending. They mentioned how irrelevant and anti-climatic it is. I can see their point, but I personally don't mind how it ended. Sure, it wasn't the best way to end the movie, but it makes sense and it made me think.
   Sometimes, amid the chaos, struggles and everything else, we can choose ourselves and the things that make us happy and feel alive.
   All in all, it was a good movie, but don't expect too much. I liked it, but I'm not sure if it would be other people's cup of tea. But if you have time and curious enough to watch this, then do so... and tell me what you think afterwards.
   Thanks for reading and see you next time! (^^,)/

5. ›Leave the World Behind | Review [ENG-ESP]@davidpena21900d

   Over the years, the world has gone through many events, where most are caused by the same human being, all for a game, power, to be the best and say that they have control, causing society to be filled with fear and not know what to do with their lives in such moments. As it happened in the most recent Netflix movie, which gave much to talk about all social networks known as Leaving the world behind, where a director managed to make a production based on a very desperate situation, full of terror, fear and a mental game with each of those who make life there, when you realize that you are about to live in a world of collapse and thus manages to create many questions.

   Con el paso de los años, el mundo ha pasado por muchos eventos, donde la mayoría son causados por el mismo ser humano, todo sea por un juego, poder, ser el mejor y decir que ellos tienen el control, provocando así que la sociedad se llene de miedo y no sepa qué hacer con su vida en dichos momentos. Tal como ocurro en la más reciente película de Netflix, la cual dio mucho de que hablar por todas las redes sociales conocida como Dejar el mundo atrás, donde un director logro hacer una producción basada en una situación muy desesperante, llena de terror, miedo y un juego mental con cada uno de los que hacen vida allí, cuando te das cuenta de que estás a punto de vivir en mundo de colapso y de esa manera logra crear muchas interrogantes.

   Edited in Canva

   From the beginning everything starts very well with a simple vacation and I even thought it would be the same as always, without a doubt things take a different path when certain aspects appear that allow the fear of the human being to grow, since no one would be prepared to receive an unexpected visit at night or suddenly all services are cut off and you are left without communication, creating a very confusing scenario, where we wonder what will happen, is it all a game, will they be able to enjoy the vacation, and many other things, since it is not as simple as it seems. In addition, another very good aspect that very few films of this genre have is that it makes us imagine and think about the possible clues to the whole problem, but again the medium is present that makes the human being is locked and does not react to anything, causing a disaster.

   A production that covers many theories and things that are caused by the same human being, using technology, power and resources that no one has, especially the government of a country. The film covers every detail and leads us to continue to enjoy and see what will happen, if everything will have an end explained or simply the world will end and everyone will die, creating a sense of intrigue, suspense and the thought that something bad will happen in a certain time. Beyond that, it also seeks to show that teamwork, security and trust in people is very important, since in this type of situation everyone is on their own looking for a way to survive an apocalypse.

   Desde un principio todo comienza muy bien con unas simples vacaciones e incluso pensé que sería lo mismo de siempre, sin duda las cosas van tomando otros camino cuando van apareciendo ciertos aspectos que permite que ese miedo del ser humano crezca, puesto que nadie estaría preparado para recibir una visita inesperada en horas de la noche o que de repente te corten todos los servicios y quedes parado sin comunicación, permitiendo crear un escenario muy confuso, donde nos preguntamos ¿Qué pasará? ¿Todo es un juego? ¿Podrán disfrutar de las vacaciones?, y muchas otras cosas, puesto que no es tan sencillo como aparenta. Además, otro de los aspectos muy buenos y que muy pocas películas de este género lo tienen es que nos hace imaginar y pensar las posibles pistas a todo el problema, pero nuevamente el medio está presente que hace que el ser humano se tranque y no reaccione a nada, provocando un desastre.

   Una producción que abarca muchas teorías y cosas que son provocadas por el mismo ser humano, usando la tecnología, el poder y los recursos que nadie tiene, en especial el gobierno de un país. La cual la película va cubriendo cada detalle y nos lleva a seguir disfrutando y ver que pasará, si todo tendrá un final explicado o simplemente el mundo se acabará y todos van a morir, creando una sensación de intriga, suspenso y el pensamiento de que algo malo ocurrirá en un cierto tiempo. Más allá de eso, también busca demostrar que el trabajo en equipo, la seguridad y la confianza que se le tenga a las personas es muy importante, puesto que en ese tipo de situaciones cada quien está por su lado buscando la manera de poder sobrevivir a un apocalipsis.

   They managed to recreate a great production with each of the special effects and each of the scenes of the same, which allows it to be very attractive and not boring at all, since it always does not present something new and when you realize you have seen many places and each one has a very different situation before that great situation, in addition the diverse moments of terror that are there present in the film and everything is to play with that fear and thought of the human being, since it is the main reason of the same one, emphasizing that moment of the people that are not the owners of the house, in addition the deer, being a very dangerous animal, but that at the same time they give much fear, for that reason it is a film where you will take many surprises and they will be able to be very desperate.

   With more than hours of production, fear, psychology and decision making gives us a great production where the end of the world will be present and how everything can happen in a matter of seconds and at the least expected time, so it is a situation that no one could be prepared, either by something planned human being or everything happens by itself, so life is one and you have to enjoy it to the fullest. Would you be prepared for an apocalypse?

   Lograron recrear una gran producción con cada uno de los efectos especiales y cada una de las escenas de la misma, la cual permite que sea muy atractiva y no sea nada aburrida, puesto que siempre no presenta algo nuevo y cuando te das cuenta has visto muchos lugares y cada uno tiene una situación muy distinta ante esa gran situación, además los diversos momentos de terror que están allí presente en la película y todo sea para jugar con ese miedo y pensamiento del ser humanos, puesto que es la principal razón de la misma, destacando ese momento de las personas que no son los dueños de la casa, además los ciervos, siendo una animal muy peligroso, pero que a la vez dan mucho miedo, por eso es una película donde te llevarás muchas sorpresas y podrán ser muy desesperante.

   Con más de horas de producción, miedo, psicología y la toma de decisiones nos regala una gran producción donde el fin del mundo estará presente y como todo puede ocurrir en cuestión de segundos y en el momento menos esperado, por eso es una situación que nadie podría estar preparado, ya sea por algo del ser humano planificado o todo ocurra por sí solo, por eso la vida es una sola y se tiene que disfrutar al máximo. ¿Estarías preparado para un apocalipsis?

   Source

   A very good cast and the best thing is to see again the presence of the great actress Julia Roberts as Amanda, which takes a great role in it and without her none of it would be possible, despite being very nervous, restless, since her vacation did not go well as she expected, however, she manages to get into the role and to face every situation in a good way, since the slightest mistake made was going to be very affected. The presence of her husband, Ethan Hawke as Clay, achieves a great connection, even though each one has a different perspective and both go through very desperate moments and causes a lot of anguish, since if they don't help each other, who will. Other characters that make life in this movie are very good and each one brings something to the table, as others who know what can happen.

   Un reparto muy bueno y lo mejor es ver nuevamente la presencia de la gran actriz Julia Roberts como Amanda, la cual toma un gran papel en la misma y sin ella nada de eso sería posible, a pesar de ser muy nerviosa, inquieta, puesto que sus vacaciones no salieron nada bien como ella lo esperaba, sin embargo, logra meterse en el papel y poder enfrentar cada situación de una buena manera, puesto que el mínimo error que se cometiera iba a verse muy afectada. La presencia de su marido, Ethan Hawke como Clay, logra una gran conexión, a pesar de que cada uno tiene una perspectiva diferente y ambos pasan por momentos muy desesperantes y causa mucha angustia, puesto que si ello no se ayuda, quién lo hará. Otros personajes que hacen vida en esta película son muy buenos y cada uno aporta algo, como otros que saben lo que puede ocurrir.

   Source

   A movie that I liked a lot and I took many surprises that I never expected to see in a movie, also has many cons and pros, since it does not leave very thoughtful, being a great thriller with an open world of possibilities and for me this movie has to get the second part, no doubt the human being is capable of destroying the world at any time of life, regardless of the fear and the disaster it causes.

   Una película que me gusto muchos y me lleve muchas sorpresas que jamás me espere verlas en una película, además cuenta con muchas contras y pros, puesto que no deja muy pensativos, siendo un gran thriller con un mundo abierto de posibilidades y para mi esta película tienen que sacar la segunda parte, sin duda el ser humano es capaz de destruir al mundo en cualquier momento de la vida, sin importar el miedo y el desastre que cause.

6. ›Leave the world behind (2023) review: Don't look up, please.@richardalexis901d

   

   All the screenshots in this post were taken directly from the movie by me.

   

   ENGLISH

   I had put off my first viewing of "Leave the world behind" quite a bit for a simple reason: I don't like it when the conversation around a film distances itself from its quality.

   Source

   For weeks it was inevitable to read hundreds of conspiracy theories, which, although they helped attract the masses to this film, also ignored those aspects that generally make us enjoy (or not) a specific work: the quality of its script, its direction, music, photography, the performances of the main and supporting actors and the ability it has to develop its own plot.

   

   

   After my first viewing, I think I understood perfectly why this was, considering that the film by Sam Esmail (who many of us will remember for the acclaimed Mr. Robot series) revels in being disconcerting, a characteristic that unfortunately does not play in favor of the final result.

   Starring Ethan Hawke, Julia Roberts and Mahershala Ali, "Leave the world Behind" could be defined as an apocalyptic story, where little by little we see the consequences of an invisible threat.

   

   

   Recently we have received a wave of similar stories that, as in the case of Don't Look up, are responsible for approaching the concept of the end of the world from a cynical and mocking angle, something that contrasts with the more brutal and direct approaches that we saw in early 2000s cinema like the technically brilliant "2012."

   However, unlike the brilliant satire contained in Don't Look Up that made us reflect on our own reality by blurring the lines between satire and drama, Leave the World Behind falls halfway as a visually substantial, but unable to convey their messages organically.

   I must confess that Sam Esmail's writing style had already shocked me a little since the days of Mr. Robot, not because it was objectively bad, but because he was focused on attacking the advancement of technology and our dependence on it from a point of view. extremely pretentious view, ignoring that at the end of the day they are wonderful tools that (in the right hands) allow us to achieve things that we previously considered unattainable.

   In this case, not only are these ideas repeated with the same lack of subtlety, but also an entire environmental message is added that necessarily fits during the eternal two and a half hours of the footage.

   

   Although I don't hate the idea of a progressive film (In fact it seems quite silly to me to rule it out because of this), I would have preferred if these same ideas had been presented in a less pretentious story, with characters who act with more rationality regardless of whether we (the viewers) do not understand what is happening.

   Still, it's a visually appealing film with a couple of genuinely entertaining moments.

   ESPAÑOL

   Había postergado bastante mi primer visionado de "Leave the world behind" por una sencilla razón: no me gusta cuando la conversación alrededor de una película se distancia de la calidad de la misma.

   Source

   Durante semanas era inevitable leer cientos de teorías conspirativas, que, si bien ayudaron a atraer a las masas hacia este filme, también ignoraban aquellos aspectos que generalmente nos hacen disfrutar (o no) una obra específica: la calidad de su guión, su dirección, musica, fotografía, los performances de los actores principales y secundario y la capacidad que tiene para desarrollar su propia trama.

   

   

   Luego de mi primer visionado creo que entendí a la perfección a que se debía esto, considerando que el filme de Sam Esmail (A quien muchos recordaremos por la aclamada serie de Mr.Robot) se regodea en ser desconcertante, una característica que lastimosamente no juega a favor del resultado final.

   Protagonizada por Ethan Hawke, Julia Roberts y Mahershala Ali, "Leave the world Behind" podría definirse como una historia apocalíptica, en donde poco a poco vemos las consecuencias de una amenaza invisible.

   

   

   Recientemente hemos recibido una oleada de historias similares que, como en el caso de Don't Look up, se encargan de abordar el concepto del fin del mundo desde un ángulo cínico y burlón, algo que contrasta con los acercamientos más brutos y directos que veíamos en el cine de principios del 2000 como la brillante técnicamente "2012".

   No obstante, a diferencia de la brillante sátira contenida en Don't Look Up que nos hacía reflexionar sobre nuestra propia realidad difuminado las líneas entre la sátira y el dramatismo, Leave the world behind se queda a medio camino como un filme visualmente sustancioso, pero incapaz de transmitir sus mensajes de forma orgánica.

   Debo confesar que el estilo de escritura de Sam Esmail ya me chocaba un poco desde los tiempos de Mr.Robot, no porque fuese objetivamente malo, sino porque se encontraba enfocado en atacar el avance de la tecnología y nuestra dependencia hacia ella desde un punto de vista extremadamente pretencioso, ignorando que al final del día son herramientas maravillosas que (en las manos correctas) nos permiten lograr cosas que antes considerabamos inalcanzables.

   En este caso, no solo se encuentran repetidas estas ideas con la misma ausencia de sutileza, sino que aparte se le suma todo un mensaje ambiental que calza forzosamente durante las eternas dos horas y media del metraje.

   

   Si bien no detesto la idea de una película progresista (De hecho me parece bastante tonto descartarla por esto), hubiese preferido que estás mismas ideas se hubiesen presentado en una historia menos pretenciosa, con personajes que actúan con más racionalidad independientemente de que nosotros (los espectadores) no entendamos lo que está sucediendo.

   Aún así es una película visualmente atractiva con un par de momentos genuinamente entretenidos.

7. ›Leave the World Behind (film): It's good, but it could have been better@netflixr905d

   With this movie I feel as though the original idea was probably to make this story more in-depth and come to an actual conclusion rather than have it turn out the way that it did which, don't get me wrong, is still good, but I absolutely hated the way that this one ended and feel as though it could have been done better.

   Even though I always try my best to avoid spoilers in every review that I do just know from this point forward that I suggest that you do watch this movie, I enjoyed it and recommend it.

   src

   When I saw this pop up on my Plex subscription I was curious because I haven't seen Julia Roberts in anything for a while but I do know that she is A-list enough that she isn't going to accept just any ol' script that comes across her agent's desk.

   The film begins with her waking up her husband and telling him that they are off to a place just outside of New York City to have a little weekend getaway with their family. It is at this point that she does the only internal dialogue narration that happens in the entire film and she let's the audience know that she "absolutely hates people." This is something that I think all of us have been able to relate to during at least one point in our lives because I will admit that there are a lot of times that the way the world has become annoys me personally to the point where I want most of the people around me to just leave me alone.

   So for her and her family, getting out to a small town just outside of busy NYC for a weekend alone it is exactly what they were looking for.

   Things seem to be going very well when all of a sudden very strange things start happening such as everyone losing wifi and television capabilities and at this point I will admit I was like "here we go with the no signal apparatus that needs to exist in order for thriller films to move forward!" In this instance though I was incorrect and it wasn't just that they couldn't get a signal, nobody could. The more and more strange things start to happen and I will only spoil one of them

   src

   While they were at the beach an enormous oil tanker just keeps getting closer and closer until eventually everyone decides to run away as it crashes into the beach. The CGI during this portion of the film is wonderful but a bit later on that ends up not being the case.

   When they return home from the beach they can't really find any information about what happened but just continue on with their dream weekend in a luxury beach home anyway. Then, later on, the owners of the house turn up at the door and this is where Netflix gets a bit Netflixy but I suppose they just can't help themselves.

   src

   The owners of the home are a wildly successful black family and they are polite in asking if it is ok if they stay in their own home in the basement suite because they were in NYC when the blackouts started happening and they have nowhere to go. This is where Netflix simply cannot help themselves as far as the racial re-education is concerned because Julia Roberts' character shows signs of not wanting them in the house and not believing they actually own it. Of course they don't come right out and say it but it is implied that her main reason for feeling this way is because they are black.

   Thankfully they don't focus on this for very long and as things start to get worse, the two families come together as a team to try to figure out why no communications are working, no TV stations are working, and more and more technology-driven features that all of us take for granted in our lives also no longer work.

   I always kind of enjoy when they try to "Black Mirror" us in this way because take a look at your own life and take stock of how heavily you completely rely on the existence of technology to get really anything in your life done. The point is nailed home when Ethan Hawke's character simply tries to drive to the grocery store in the small town and is completely incapable of doing so without GPS even though he drove from that small town to the house he was in just the day before. They don't come right out and say it but the point here is that all of us, myself included have allowed technology to be the dominant factor in our ability to simply survive.

   src

   Before all coms are lost it is explained to us that the problems is because of cyberattacks taking place all over the United States in a coordinated strike of unknown origin. After we catch a glimpse of that, televisions no longer work either, nor do radios. Everyone is completely in the dark, well not literally because for some reason they still have electricity.

   The underlying message here, at least as I understood it, was that there are certain powers that be that are capable of simply flipping a switch and completely undermining everyone's way of life. Almost all of us wouldn't know what to do if one day all of a sudden our devices simply didn't work anymore. Does anyone even have a land line anymore?

   I thought it was an interesting take on potential nation-ending strategies rather than just the usual bombs and aircraft sort of scenarios. Remove the technology that the population has become reliant upon to survive and they will quickly turn on one another... no reason to invade.

   Should I watch it?

   This is one of the better films I have seen in recent times. It was so good in fact that even though I had planned on a 2-movie night, I went to bed afterwards instead realizing that there was very little chance that I was going to stay interested in the 2nd one. It did me some good probably because this film is over 2 hours long. Like I said earlier on, I don't like the non-resolution way in which the film ends but I can only imagine that this was done on purpose by the producers and director so that the audience has a sense of filling in the blanks of what they were not told on their own.

   Except for the tiny little bit of racial education that Neflix seems contractually obligated to throw into anything that they make, this movie was pretty fantastic and I recommend it. I don't know why Netflix didn't try to throw this into theaters any more than they did as it only had a limited theatrical run at "select theaters" which probably just means NYC and Los Angeles.

8. ›Leave the World Behind@cute-cactus918d

   I imagined scenarios in my head where an ordinary story could turn into a cyber-attack, a world war or an attempted coup d'état against the government after the misuse of technology. Of course, what makes me think of these things is the chain of events, or should I say the chain of events that could happen, which even I will admit to myself is outrageous.

   [source](https://www.themoviedb.org/t/p/original/z6OkT7XjzSrgstiTlld0jUvME9y.jpg)

   You may think that I am telling the story in a complicated way or not, and you can be sure that I will agree with you. I'm still thinking about the whole story that I watched and I don't have a clear idea of what happened and what might not have happened. Or rather, I have no idea what happened!

   Something is definitely happening, but it's not clear what it is! Let me explain what I'm talking about and not to add more mystery to this review of a movie that already has enough mystery. I'm talking about the movie Leave the World Behind, which was made in 2023.

   Going back to the beginning, I would like to emphasize that I watched the movie for Julia Roberts. Despite her advancing age, she is still beautiful and still manages to stay in the center of my attention. I won't go into the reasons for this, I just want it to be known that I watched the movie for her.

   The movie in the thriller genre is really tense in terms of not being able to develop the story and tie it to a point. Obviously, we are at the first stop of a new sequel and they wanted to present the story with a wide range...

   ...but I think every movie should have its own ending, even if it's going to be a sequel one way or another. Every sequel I've seen so far has been tied to certain points in its own story and has an ending.

   The material is good, the shots are good, the story is good, but it doesn't have the desired flavor because of the disconnections at the connection points. And it gives the impression that the movie will never end, that it will go on forever. In fact, there is no ending and the story disappears as if there was a blackout.

   [source](https://www.themoviedb.org/t/p/original/hQlXUcMriREzaC05a5EKtgzKN9j.jpg)

   Julia Roberts, who plays Amanda, starts off as a responsible parent and a mother who prioritizes her two children and questions everything. In the later moments of the story, she switches to the view of being bogged down by personal conflicts rather than her responsibilities. It can be thought of as the lower personality struggling with the upper personality, but I find it strange that she chooses to be distrustful of third parties for this.

   Ethan Hawke, who plays Clay, gives a better acting performance. Even though I opened the movie for Julia, Ethan instantly became my favorite. He maintains his trustworthy personality throughout the movie and maintains a balance in his ups and downs.

   I can recommend you to watch Leave the World Behind, but I don't think you should rush to watch it. With its unfinished story, you might be the one who leaves the dinner before you are full. Wait for the sequel to be released and then watch it one after the other in a way that integrates the story. In spite of everything, I wish a good time to those who will watch it.

9. ›Leave the World Behind, Sam Esmail, 2023@claudio83921d

   From the novel by Rumaan Alam, an apocalyptic thriller with clear Shyamalan influences and Barack Obama's advice on the screenplay which made some scenarios more probable. The story of a humanity blindly in free fall, an unidentified enemy, confusing information and hence panic, fear, preconceptions, prejudices, inertia, mistrust.

   Source

   ---

   A mass self-destruction whose only person responsible is man with his lies, isolation, hypocrisy and total lack of transparency and trust towards others. Men who hate other men even though they know that, in the end, if everything fails, they will be left to themselves and then they will have to be satisfied, trust and rely so as not to become extinct.

   Amanda Sanford, a misanthropic woman who works at an advertising company, decides to take her family to a rented house on Long Island for an unplanned vacation. Her husband Clay is a professor and her two teenage children, 13-year-old Rose and 16-year-old Archie, are obsessed with technology. Once they arrive, they realize they have no cell phone connection. Rose, who followed Friends, can't watch the last episode of the tenth season. While the family relaxes on a nearby beach, an oil tanker suddenly runs aground on land. Disturbed, they return home, only to realize that neither the television nor the wi-fi are usable.

   If man is the poison, then there is good hope that he can also be the antidote. And when even the most advanced technology crashes, there will remain those trusted "Friends" who respond to the mantra of 'I'll be there for you', because real friends remain and do not go out of fashion, like iconic TV series and capable DVDs. to create connections beyond connections. Film with current and interesting ideas, not very original but holds up.

10. ›Dejar el mundo atrás (netflix movie review)@roadstories921d

    

    Feliz ombligo de semana chicos, nos resta aún menos días para finalizar el año y es cuando más activos debemos estar para empezar el 2024 viento en popa.

    Aprovechando esa energía, hace un par de noches atrás vi con mi pareja una de las películas más criticadas en las redes sociales incluso por influencers, considerando que es "una perdida de tiempo" ver esta trama que dura más de 2 horas.

    Antes de que se estrenará la película en Netflix ya yo tenía la seguridad que la iba a ver a costa de cualquier crítica que existiese. Pienso que los trabajos protagónicos de Julia Roberts son fascinantes, sin embargo si hay una única película de ella que no me resultó del todo bien.

    Dejar el mundo atrás tiene muchos significados en si, lo primero que se me vino a la mente es lo que dejas de hacer por perder el tiempo en cosas que crees son más importantes. Pero ya luego parte de la película también te hace pensar sobre el fin de los tiempos en si, es decir la muerte misma.

    English Text

    Happy navel of the week guys, we still have less days left to finish the year and it is when we should be more active to start 2024 with the wind in our sails.

    
    Taking advantage of that energy, a couple of nights ago I watched with my partner one of the most criticized movies on social networks even by influencers, considering that it is "a waste of time" to watch this plot that lasts more than 2 hours.
    Before the movie was released on Netflix I was already sure that I was going to watch it regardless of any criticism that existed. I think Julia Roberts' starring jobs are fascinating, however if there is one single movie of hers that didn't quite work for me.
    Leaving the world behind has many meanings in itself, the first thing that came to my mind is what you stop doing to waste time on things you think are more important. But then part of the movie also makes you think about the end of time itself, i.e. death itself.

    

    La mayoría de los eventos se dan en una casa de vacaciones dónde una familia se dispone a pasar el rato ameno, siendo que el trabajo y las ocupaciones no han dado la oportunidad para tener momentos en familia.

    Considero que viajar es algo saludable para las relaciones en familia e incluso interpersonales de cada uno pues todos estarían en un momento, sitio o actividad de confort, ya sea leyendo un libro a la orilla de la playa, construyendo un castillo o pasando el rato en la alberca mientras miras el alrededor del paisaje.

    En fin, que está familia ha escogido a primera instancia vivir emociones dentro de una casa que se supone no estaba habitada, era exclusiva para ellos. Sin embargo todo cambia cuando un par de personas a mitad de noche tocan la puerta.

    En mi interior me dije que se hacían pasar por personas que no eran pues todo daba indicios a que se trataba de un engaño incluso Julia, quien tiene el papel pilar de esta familia debido a su carácter, se da cuenta de ciertas señales que no encajan en todo lo que estás personas hablan.

    English Text

    Most of the events take place in a vacation home where a family is ready to have a good time, being that work and occupations have not given the opportunity to have family moments.

    
    I believe that traveling is healthy for family and even interpersonal relationships because everyone would be in a moment, place or activity of comfort, whether it is reading a book on the beach, building a castle or hanging out at the pool while looking around the landscape.
    In short, this family has chosen at first instance to live emotions inside a house that was not supposed to be inhabited, it was exclusively for them. However, everything changes when a couple of people knock on the door in the middle of the night.
    I thought to myself that they were pretending to be people they were not, because everything indicated that it was a deception, even Julia, who has the role of pillar of this family due to her character, notices certain signs that do not fit everything that these people talk about.

    

    Ya el simple hecho de tener que hospedar a personas desconocidas en el mismo techo donde duermen tus hijos es algo de alerta e incomodidad, pero si bien es cierto muchas cosas extrañas empezando a suceder no solo a los alrededores del lugar, también en la ciudad cercana donde están vacacionando.

    Por un momento pensé que iba a tener un agregado de ciencia y ficción tipo "la guerra de los mundos" donde cuerpos extraños querían colonizar la tierra y acabar con la humanidad.

    Sin embargo el libreto es más sencillo que esto, supone una forma de guerra para espiar pecados de quienes formar parte de una nación que ha hecho daño a otros países.

    Estos al parecer tienen una tecnología tan avanzada como para dejar vulnerable a todo un país, y por no ser exagerado sumergirlo en el caos que es prácticamente lo que consiguen con todo lo que hacen en su momento.

    English Text

    Already the simple fact of having to host strangers in the same roof where your children sleep is something of alert and discomfort, but while it is true many strange things starting to happen not only around the place, but also in the nearby town where they are vacationing.

    
    For a moment I thought it was going to have a "War of the Worlds" type sci-fi addition where alien bodies wanted to colonize the earth and wipe out humanity.
    However the plot is simpler than that, it involves a form of war to spy on the sins of those who are part of a nation that has done harm to other countries.
    These apparently have a technology so advanced as to leave a whole country vulnerable, and not to be exaggerated submerge it in chaos which is practically what they get with everything they do at the time.

    

    Pero pues, volviendo a lo que es el título y su real definición, esto dependerá más lo que represente según nuestra perspectiva, pues sucede que en su mayoría se enfocan en los sucesos y responsables cuando la realidad es ver las causas y razones por la cuál se llegó a cierto punto.

    Justo eso a mí parecer es lo que simboliza esta trama, estamos sumergido en un mundo ficticio, cada cabeza es un mundo en su y olvidamos que hay un resto de personas.

    Una de las cosas que más señalan es la dependencia que ha creado la humanidad hacia la tecnología como si siempre estuvo con nosotros y realmente no es así. Viéndose también el hecho de cómo la misma tecnología puede llegar a ser una amenaza a nuestras vidas.

    Dejamos que el tiempo sea abarcado en su mayoría por las preocupaciones, el trabajo, las distracciones en cuanto al entretenimiento tecnológico y olvidamos lo sencillo que es vacacionar en familia, ir a una playa, tener un picnic sin celulares a mano y olvidarnos un poco de los lujos de la vida.

    English Text

    But then, returning to what the title is and its real definition, this will depend more on what it represents according to our perspective, because it happens that most of them focus on the events and those responsible when the reality is to see the causes and reasons why it reached a certain point.

    
    Just that in my opinion is what symbolizes this plot, we are immersed in a fictitious world, each head is a world of its own and we forget that there is a rest of people.
    One of the things they point out the most is the dependence that humanity has created towards technology as if it was always with us and it is not really so. Seeing also the fact how technology itself can become a threat to our lives.
    We let time be taken up mostly by worries, work, distractions in terms of technological entertainment and we forget how easy it is to have a family vacation, go to a beach, have a picnic without cell phones at hand and forget a little of the luxuries of life.

    

    En cuanto a las ciertas señales que hay en esta película, no sé si se trata de algo religioso, como un aviso para que exista algún tipo de salvación en la humanidad, o si simplemente es un agregado de mayor suspenso en la trama.

    Lo que si considero es que no se pierde el tiempo cuando vemos desde diferentes ópticas la trama en su y todos los mensajes ocultos que resguarda. El problema cuando alguien dice que es una perdida de tiempo total, es que esta misma persona se sigue engañando con la ficción que vive en su vida, una conclusión a la que he llegado pues, hay cosas evidentes en la película que despierta ciertas emociones de reflexión.

    El final puede verse algo tosco con señales de continuidad, incluso hay la posibilidad de que sea así dado que se divide en capítulos por si mismo la trama dando a cada uno de ellos nombres como si fuese el proceso de algún evento.

    English Text

    As for the certain signs in this film, I do not know if it is something religious, as a warning that there is some kind of salvation in humanity, or if it is simply a suspenseful addition to the plot.

    
    What I do consider is that no time is wasted when we see from different points of view the plot and all the hidden messages it keeps. The problem when someone says that it is a total waste of time, is that this same person is still fooled by the fiction that lives in his life, a conclusion that I have reached because there are obvious things in the film that awakens certain emotions of reflection.
    The ending can be seen somewhat clumsy with signs of continuity, there is even the possibility that it is so given that it is divided into chapters by itself the plot giving each of them names as if it were the process of some event.

11. ›[ESP/ENG] Leave The World Behind (2023) - Review: “mientras menos sepas mejor”@miguelalfonso922d

    

    imagen

    

    

    imagen

    Hola hive, hoy les vengo a hablar sobre una película bastante curiosa que acabe de ver y es que ya había visto diferentes recomendaciones en Tik Tok sobre esta película, así que decidí verla y de esta forma sacar mis propias conclusiones, por esta razón es que hoy les vengo a hablar de Leave The World Behind

    Leave The World Behind es una película de Thriller Psicológico lanzada en el 2023, dirigida por Sam Esmail y protagonizada por Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke y Myha'la. Esta película nos muestra a una familia que decide ir a una casa a las afueras de la ciudad para poder despejarse un poco de la vida que llevan, sin embargo las cosas se empiezan a tornar muy extrañas y la desconexión los aísla de obtener respuestas. La película está basada en una novela homónima lanzada 2020, escrita por Rumaan Alam. Ya habiendo dado un poco de contexto ahora si comencemos!

    

    imagen

    Primero siempre me gusta empezar hablando de lo que más me encanto de la película y en este caso sin duda es la dirección, esto es un aspecto del cual yo estoy muy pendiente, más que todo en las películas de suspenso, porque siento que es una herramienta importante que debe ser usada correctamente como en este caso, cada escena logra trasmitirnos esa sensación de tensión necesaria para mantenernos enganchado, esto mediante algunos planos estáticos con zoom y otros con planos extremadamente dinámicos, esta mezcla de ambos estilos genera un resultado final bastante interesante que es necesario destacar.

    Las actuaciones de cada uno de los actores también me atrapo, siento que le logran inyectar una esencia muy cool a cada uno de los personajes, además de que siento que se complementan muy bien, así que en este aspecto no tengo ninguna queja.

    

    imagen

    En cuanto a la premisa, es muy sencilla, sin embargo lo que la hace interesante es el querer saber porque están sucediendo cosas extrañas y querer ver como nuestros protagonistas salen de aquella situación, pero si nos ponemos a ver la “historia” en si no es complicada, lo confuso en si es ir armando el rompecabezas para dar con lo que está ocasionando ese caos.

    Yo en lo personal me consideró muy fan de las películas de suspenso, siento que la mayoría de estas películas nos mantienen enganchados hasta al final, hasta que por fin logramos obtener respuestas (y ni siquiera es así en todos los casos), pero también las e de suspenso buscan una forma diferente de mostrarnos los hechos.

    

    imagen

    En este caso si admito que tal vez la película se enredó mucho más de lo necesario, más tomando en cuenta el final, y no digo que el final no me haya gustado, sino que siento que no termino de cerrar o explicar todos los sucesos.

    Ahora eso desencadena en otro aspecto que también me gusta de este tipo de películas y es el poder interpretarla de una forma subjetiva y poderla comparar con las opiniones de los demás, porque Leave The world Behind, nos da un final bastante simple dentro de lo que cabe, pero de ahí en adelante es trabajo de nosotros terminar unir cabos y darle otras interpretaciones.

    

    imagen

    Cuando me puse a leer sobre la película me llamo la atención dos interpretaciones: una de ellas habla sobre cómo la peor amenaza de la sociedad es la sociedad en sí (y esa queda bastante explícita en la película), y la otra es que nosotros como espectadores cumplimos el rol de La Niña pequeña de la familia, que no le importa todo el caos que hay en el exterior, ella simplemente busca aislarse en su serie de tv.

    En conclusión disfrute esta película, me gusta que se presta para diversas interpretaciones y que realmente es una película enganchante, esas ganas de querer saber que va a pasar nos mantiene pegados al tv de principio a fin, y eso que no es una película corta, pero también estoy claro que no es una película fácil de digerir y tal vez no es para todo el mundo, pero en lo personal cumplió mis expectativas, recomendada!

    

    imagen

    Me gustaría saber si has visto esta película y de ser así cuál es tu opinión al respecto

    Hello hive, today I come to talk about a rather curious movie that I just saw and I had already seen different recommendations on Tik Tok about this movie, so I decided to see it and thus draw my own conclusions, for this reason is that today I come to talk about Leave The World Behind.

    Leave The World Behind is a Psychological Thriller movie released in 2023, directed by Sam Esmail and starring Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke and Myha'la. This movie shows us a family that decides to go to a house on the outskirts of the city in order to clear a little of the life they lead, however things start to become very strange and the disconnection isolates them from getting answers. The film is based on a novel of the same name released in 2020, written by Rumaan Alam. Having given some context, let's get started!

    

    imagen

    First I always like to start talking about what I love most about the film and in this case it is undoubtedly the direction, this is an aspect of which I am very aware, especially in thrillers, because I feel it is an important tool that must be used correctly as in this case, each scene manages to transmit that sense of tension needed to keep us hooked, this through some static shots with zoom and others with extremely dynamic shots, this mixture of both styles generates a very interesting end result that is necessary to highlight.

    The performances of each of the actors also caught me, I feel that they manage to inject a very cool essence to each of the characters, plus I feel that they complement each other very well, so in this aspect I have no complaints.

    

    imagen

    As for the premise, it is very simple, however what makes it interesting is wanting to know why strange things are happening and wanting to see how our protagonists get out of that situation, but if we look at the "story" itself is not complicated, the confusing thing is to put together the puzzle to find what is causing the chaos.

    I personally consider myself a fan of suspense movies, I feel that most of these movies keep us hooked until the end, until we finally get answers (and it is not even like that in all cases), but also suspense movies look for a different way to show us the facts.

    

    imagen

    In this case I admit that maybe the movie got much more tangled than necessary, especially taking into account the ending, and I'm not saying that I didn't like the ending, but I feel that it didn't end up closing or explaining all the events.

    Now that triggers another aspect that I also like about this kind of movies and that is to be able to interpret it in a subjective way and compare it with the opinions of others, because Leave The world Behind, gives us a fairly simple ending as far as it goes, but from there on it is our job to finish joining ends and give it other interpretations.

    

    imagen

    When I started reading about the film I was struck by two interpretations: one of them talks about how the worst threat of society is society itself (and that is quite explicit in the film), and the other is that we as viewers play the role of the little girl in the family, who does not care about all the chaos outside, she simply seeks to isolate herself in her TV series.

    In conclusion I enjoyed this movie, I like that it lends itself to various interpretations and that it really is an engaging film, that desire to want to know what will happen keeps us glued to the TV from beginning to end, and that is not a short film, but I am also clear that it is not an easy film to digest and maybe not for everyone, but personally it met my expectations, recommended!

    

    imagen

    I would like to know if you have seen this movie and if so what is your opinion about it?

12. ›Review ||🔥LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND🔥|| Netflix thriller movie (2023) [ESP/ENG]@edwarlyn11927d

    

    

    Hola mis queridos lectores de Hive y amantes del mundo cinematográfico ❤️ hoy les traigo una propuesta recién salida del horno como se suele decir, y es que este film prácticamente está recién estrenando en la plataforma Netflix abordando un tema bastante complejo pero tampoco tan alejado de la realidad, una historia en el género de thriller que estoy segura nos dejara a más de uno pensando y con mucha incertidumbre al final.

    

    Cómo es mi costumbre, no me gusta dar adelantos o spoilers de lo que sucederá, especialmente si es tan nueva, pero si me gusta darles desde mi opinión una pequeña parte ella para así darles una idea de lo que será, y ya quizás si les gusta mucho el género y la dirección en que gira la trama, se animen a darle una oportunidad y la vean.

    Al principio si les tengo que avisar o prevenir que la película es larga, aproximadamente 2 horas y jugará con nuestra mente al hacernos creer una cosa y sorprendernos con otra, cada escena supera a la anterior con un nuevo misterio precisamente muy relacionado con el título dejar el mundo atrás, dándonos además algunas referencias para reflexionar y que sin imaginar, más allá de la ficción, al camino que vamos, no estamos muy lejos de la realidad.

    

    Un gran atractivo para mí de este film fue ver entre los protagonistas a Julia Roberts interpretando a una mujer algo dura y fría con respeto al mundo que la rodea, una madre de familia que al igual que muchos, nos vemos hundido en la rutina y la monotonía del día a día. Esto hace que todos quieran salir a tomarse un pequeño descanso e irse de vacaciones fuera de la ciudad, pero lo que ellos no saben es que esa escapada no será tan tranquila y relajada como imahinaban. Muchos acontecimientos bastante raros y extraños los empezarán a perturbar a tal punto de querer buscar una explicación lógica...pero de verdad la hay?.

    Una emocionante historia que nos dejara la piel helada por tener mucha similitud con la actualidad, abordando temas importantes como la tecnología y como esta nos consume de una manera que casi no podemos dejar de depender de ella, incluso alejarnos de la realidad por la cantidad de felicidad y satisfacción instantánea que está nos causa. Otro tema importante es el uso de esta avanzada tecnología en el tema político, las invasiones e intentos de guerra entre países importantes como el ejemplo de estados unidos, en dónde al principio todo parece obra de un extraño suceso apocalíptico originado por seres de otro mundo incluso por el mismo cambio climático, más sin embargo, existe un peligro mayor y es el ser humano, y las temibles acciones que este llegaría a causar con tal de lograr sus objetivos.

    

    Aquí les comparto el tráiler para que la disfruten y se animen a verla si es que aún no lo han hecho.. y ya luego me cuentan que tal les pareció 😸. Espero les haya gustado y espero también compartirles muy pronto nuevas críticas y recomendaciones (sin spoilers)😁 de series y películas que vaya mirando, con mucho cariño me despido y será hasta la próxima !!💕

    Link del tráiler YouTube

    

    Hello my dear readers of Hive and lovers of the film world ❤️ today I bring you a proposal fresh from the oven as they say, and is that this film is practically just premiering on the Netflix platform addressing a fairly complex issue but not so far from reality, a story in the thriller genre that I'm sure will leave more than one of us thinking and with much uncertainty at the end.

    

    As is my custom, I do not like to give previews or spoilers of what will happen, especially if it is so new, but I like to give you from my opinion a small part of it to give you an idea of what it will be, and maybe if you really like the genre and the direction in which the plot turns, you will be encouraged to give it a chance and see it.

    At first if I have to warn or warn you that the film is long, about 2 hours and will play with our minds by making us believe one thing and surprise us with another, each scene exceeds the previous one with a new mystery precisely related to the title leave the world behind, also giving us some references to reflect and that without imagining, beyond fiction, the way we go, we are not far from reality.

    

    A great attraction for me of this film was to see Julia Roberts among the protagonists, playing a somewhat hard and cold woman with respect to the world around her, a mother who like many, we are sunk in the routine and monotony of everyday life. This makes everyone want to go out to take a little break and go on vacation out of town, but what they do not know is that this getaway will not be as quiet and relaxed as they imagined. Many strange and strange events will start to disturb them to the point of wanting to look for a logical explanation...but is there really one?

    An exciting story that will leave our skin cold for having a lot of similarity with the present, addressing important issues such as technology and how it consumes us in a way that we can hardly stop depending on it, even away from reality by the amount of happiness and instant gratification that it causes us. Another important topic is the use of this advanced technology in politics, invasions and war attempts between important countries such as the United States, where at first everything seems to be the work of a strange apocalyptic event caused by beings from another world, even by climate change itself, but nevertheless, there is a greater danger and it is the human being, and the fearsome actions that this would cause in order to achieve their goals.

    

    Here I share with you the trailer for you to enjoy it and encourage you to watch it if you haven't done it yet... and then let me know how you liked it 😸. I hope you liked it and I hope to share with you soon new reviews and recommendations (without spoilers)😁 of series and movies that I'm watching, with much love I say goodbye and I'll see you next time!

      Hola por aquí en esta tarde a la comunidad de #MoviesAndTVShows! por allí tengo pendiente participar en la iniciativa navideña que salió hace poco y también tengo otras películas festivas de las cuales opinar, pero antes de hacerlas, me vi en la obligación de expresar lo que pienso de éste film que se estrenó hace poco en la plataforma de Netflix, de la cual esperé como por dos meses su estreno, esta película se llama Dejar El Mundo Atrás.

    ---

    𝔻𝕖𝕛𝕒𝕣 𝕖𝕝 𝕄𝕦𝕟𝕕𝕠 𝔸𝕥𝕣𝕒𝕤

    **Fuente**

      Este film tenía muchas ganas de verlo por la trama que me arrojaba el trailer en sí, además de ver a la fabulosa Julia Roberts y a Ethan Hawke protagonizar la película, ya que tenía bastante tiempo sin verlos en la pantalla grande.

    

      De antemano les digo que no les haré spoiler, sólo daré mi opinión de la adaptación cinematográfica de un libro que lleva el mismo nombre, cuyo autor es Rumaan Alam. Yo no sabía absolutamente nada del libro ni de su autor, hasta que terminé de ver la película.

    **Fuente**

      He leído un par de reseñas de esta película apenas la agregaron a Netflix y en ambas reseñas hablaban de lo excelente que fue, sin embargo yo la verdad opino diferente. A mi la película en sí, me decepcionó totalmente.

      Y es que para que una película me guste de verdad debe tener primero y principal una historia con una trama muy bien desarrollada, y lamentablemente este film no lo tenía. No sé qué tal será el libro, pero estoy segura de que será mejor que la adaptación ya que por lo general suele ser así.

    **Fuente**

      A la trama le conseguí varios huecos que dejaron en el aire y sin explicar, por esa razón se perdía cierto interés en algún momento, al menos de mi parte, hubo escenas que no tuvieron sentido para mí ni razón de ser incluidas en el film. Y es que cuando vi el trailer esperaba que la película tratara de algún ataque extraterrestre o sino de una catástofre de tal magnitud que toda la tierra se viera implicada, pero no, éste no es el caso.

      No les voy a decir de qué trata porque es quitarles el suspenso que se revela al final y le quita la emoción de ver la película. Y bueno, además de una muy mala trama desarrollada, no me gustó para nada los efectos visuales que implementaron, girando la cámara en momentos que prolongaban una escena que ya se podría decir que había terminado.

    **Fuente**

      O sea, justifico girar la cámara para visualizar amenamente la estructura de la casa, las escenas aereas en el bosque, pero hacerlo en casi toda la película? eso no, llegó un momento en que me incomodaba a la vista ya que me causaba cierto mareo, aparte de como dije anteriormente, alargar las escenas que se sabe que ya habían terminado.

      Otro aspecto que no me gustó fue el sonido y el fondo musical aplicado para infundir las escenas de terror. La película no me asustó en ningún momento. Los cambios abruptos de escenario tampoco me gustaron. Las letras y el intro que usaron al inicio de la película no lo vi necesario, no era una película de James Bond o de Kill Bill para hacer eso.

    **Fuente**

      Los efectos especiales definitivamente pudieron haber estado mejor, pero imagino que gran parte del dinero se les fué pagándole a los grandes actores contratados que de cierta manera puedo decir que salvaron una parte de la película.

      Pero es que tuvo bastantes aspectos negativos que se pueden criticar en gran medida y perjudica el film en su gran totalidad así contrates a la Creme de la Creme de Hollywood para esteralizarla. Con esto quiero decir que la película llega a un nivel de sin sentido bastante peculiar y que básicamente la terminé de ver por los actores, ya que me aburrió en cierto punto por sus tantas vueltas de cámara y escenas prolongadas de forma innecesaria.

      Ya para finalizar sólo quiero agregar que la actuación que más me sorprendió fue la de Mahershala Ali. Ya que su personaje fue el más intrigante de todos y me mantuvo espectante para saber qué ocurría realmente, será bueno? será malo? quién es realmente este hombre? qué oculta? Todo un misterio que sin lugar a dudas logró demostrar con su excelente interpretación.

      Pero ni con una actuación impecable, ni por los actores contratados ni el misterio inconcluso que se presentó en la película voy a darle una alta puntuación. Mi puntaje final para Dejar el Mundo Atrás es de 6/10 o ⭐️⭐️ de 5. Lo volvería a ver? NO. Lo recomiendo? TAMPOCO. Pero como dije, las actuaciones si estuvieron bastante buenas. El puntaje dado se basa más que todo por el gran trabajo que hicieron todos ellos, pero con todo y eso la tengo en mi lista de peores películas que he visto este año.

      Hello here this afternoon to the community of #MoviesAndTVShows! I have pending to participate in the Christmas initiative that came out recently and I also have other festive films to review, but before doing so, I felt obliged to review first this film that was recently released on the platform of Netflix, which I waited about two months for its release, this film is called Leave The World Behind.

      I was looking forward to seeing this film because of the plot that the trailer itself gave me, as well as seeing the fabulous Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke starring in the film, as I hadn't seen them on the big screen for quite some time.

    

      I'll tell you in advance that I won't give you spoilers, I'll just give you my opinion of the movie adaptation of a book with the same name, whose author is Rumaan Alam. I knew absolutely nothing about the book or its author until I finished watching the movie.

    **Source**

      I read a couple of reviews of this movie as soon as it was added to Netflix and in both reviews they talked about how excellent it was, however, I have a different opinion. For me the movie itself, I was disappointed.

      And for me to like a movie it must have first and foremost a story with a very well-developed plot, and unfortunately this film didn't have that. I don't know how the book will be, but I'm sure it will be better than the adaptation as it usually is.

    **Source**

      I got several holes in the plot that were left in the air and unexplained, for that reason some interest was lost at some point, at least on my part, some scenes did not make sense to me or reason to be included in the film. When I saw the trailer I was expecting the movie to be about an alien attack or a catastrophe of such magnitude that the whole earth would be involved, but no, this is not the case.

      I'm not going to tell you what it's about because it takes away the suspense that is revealed at the end and takes away the excitement of watching the movie. And well, in addition to a very poorly developed plot, I didn't like the visual effects they implemented at all, turning the camera at times that prolonged a scene that you could say was already over.

    **Source**

      I mean, I justify turning the camera to visualize the structure of the house, and the aerial scenes in the forest, but to do it in almost the entire film? no, it got to a point where it made my eyes uncomfortable because it caused me some dizziness, besides, as I said before, lengthening the scenes that were already finished.

      Another aspect I didn't like was the sound and the musical background applied to infuse the horror scenes. The movie didn't scare me at any point. I didn't like the abrupt changes of scenery either. The lyrics and intro they used at the beginning of the movie I didn't see it necessary, it wasn't a James Bond or Kill Bill movie to do that.

    **Source**

      The special effects definitely could have been better, but I imagine that a lot of the money went to pay the great actors hired who in a way I can say saved part of the movie.

      But it had quite a few negative aspects that can be criticized to a great extent and it hurts the film as a whole even if you hire the Creme de la Creme of Hollywood to sterilize it. By this, I mean that the film reaches a level of nonsense quite peculiar and that basically, I finished watching it because of the actors since it bored me at a certain point with its many turns of camera and unnecessarily prolonged scenes.

    **Source**

      Finally, I want to add that the performance that surprised me the most was that of Mahershala Ali. Since his character was the most intriguing of all and kept me waiting to know what happened, would he be good? will he be bad? who is this man? what is he hiding? It was all a mystery that undoubtedly managed to demonstrate with his excellent interpretation.

      But neither with flawless acting, nor because of the actors hired, nor the unfinished mystery that was presented in the film am I going to give it a high score. My final score for Leaving the World Behind is 6/10 or ⭐️⭐️ out of 5. Would I watch it again? NO. Do I recommend it? NOT. But as I said, the performances were pretty good. The score given is based mostly on the great work they all did, but I still have it on my list of worst movies I've seen this year.

      Well dear readers, so far I leave you my opinion about Leave the World Behind. I would like to know if you have already seen it or want to see it after reading it. I'll say goodbye until the next post not before thanking you for reading my opinion. Greetings! and be well! 😄

    Si hay una película que está dando de que hablar, para bien o para mal, sin dudas es esta dirigida por Sam Esmail, el mismo de Mr Robot. Pero no solo él está metido en la creación de esta producción, sino que nada más y nada menos que los mismos Obama, si, Barack y Michelle, los que alguna vez dirigieron al país más poderoso del mundo. Confieso que este último dato no lo sabía, de hecho el di una oportunidad a la película por el elenco que tiene el cual es uno de inmensa calidad. Tener a una Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, Kevin Bacon y Mahershala Ali en una misma pantalla es algo que hay que ver sin pensarlo mucho.

    If there is a movie that is making people talk, for better or worse, it is undoubtedly this one directed by Sam Esmail, the same of Mr Robot. But not only he is involved in the creation of this production, but also none other than Obama himself, yes, Barack and Michelle, those who once led the most powerful country in the world. I confess that this last fact I did not know, in fact I gave the film a chance because of the cast which is one of immense quality. Having Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, Kevin Bacon and Mahershala Ali on the same screen is a must see without much thought.

    Este film de buenas a primeras es uno que lo podemos catalogar como uno postapocalíptico en donde la supervivencia humana se da buscando ser el más apto con todas las implicaciones que esto trae. Porque, qué harían ustedes si saben que el mundo pendiera de un hilo? - que todo lo que conocen ya no existe y que la confianza y el ser una buena persona es un lujo el cual ponerlo en práctica supone un riesgo muy grande? - pues algo así es el mundo en donde estas personas les está tocando vivir. Es un drama lleno de suspenso siendo además un thriller psicológico muy intenso; me atrevería a decir que es de las películas que más tenso pueden poner al espectador. Pero bueno, vayamos y hablemos más de este nuevo título a manos de los Obama, algo que es bastante curioso si me lo preguntan.

    This film can be categorized as a post-apocalyptic film, where human survival is based on being the fittest, with all the implications that this brings. Because, what would you do if you knew that the world was hanging by a thread? - That everything you know no longer exists and that trust and being a good person is a luxury which to put into practice is a great risk? - Well, this is the world in which these people are living. It is a drama full of suspense being also a very intense psychological thriller; I would dare to say that it is one of the films that can make the viewer more tense. But well, let's go and talk more about this new title at the hands of the Obamas, something that is quite curious if you ask me.

    La película comienza con Amanda y Clay (Julia Roberts y Ethan Hawke), una pareja común y corriente la cual está sumergida en la rutina diaria. Con sus dos hijos deciden dar una sacudida a esa vida y se van de vacaciones, unas que para la desgracia de ellos y de muchos más serán un caos total. La cosa es que una vez estando en la casa que alquilaron una buena noche se aparecen un par extraños abogando por ayuda ya que en la ciudad ha ocurrido un apagón y todo está sumergido en el desastre. Esta pareja afirman ser los dueños de esa casa pero sin forma de comprobar nada la desconfianza va creciendo y todo se va volviendo más aterrador y lleno de dudas minuto a minuto.

    The film begins with Amanda and Clay (Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke), an ordinary couple who are immersed in the daily routine. With their two children they decide to shake up that life and go on vacation, a vacation that unfortunately for them and many others will be a total chaos. The thing is that once they are in the house they rented one fine night a couple of strangers appear pleading for help because in the city there has been a blackout and everything is submerged in disaster. This couple claim to be the owners of the house but with no way to prove anything, distrust grows and everything becomes more terrifying and full of doubts minute by minute.

    La pareja es G.H y su hija Ruth (Mahershala Ali y Myha'la Herrold), quienes desde el minuto uno lo menos que inspiran es tranquilidad. Con el pasar del tiempo se van dando cuenta que la situación es más compleja de lo que en principio se pensaba y es que aparentemente el mundo entró en una situación de no retorno en donde, como mencioné antes, no quedará otra opción que cada persona active el modo supervivencia. A partir de acá veremos cómo ciertas cosas comienzan a ocurrir que alimentarán la teoría de que algo realmente malo está sucediendo y de como estas personas se las arreglan para buscar sobrevivir y no morir en el intento.

    The couple is G.H. and his daughter Ruth (Mahershala Ali and Myha'la Herrold), who from minute one inspire tranquility. As time goes by, they realize that the situation is more complex than they thought at first and apparently the world has entered a situation of no return where, as I mentioned before, there will be no other option but for each person to activate the survival mode. From here we will see how certain things begin to happen that will feed the theory that something really bad is happening and how these people manage to survive and not die in the attempt.

    La trama de la película es de las cosas más simples y clichés que se puede ver y esto es básicamente por la cantidad de films que hay parecidos y con esta temática. Lo que la hace "especial" es la cantidad absurda de tensión que hay, es una eterna expectativa de que algo va a pasar, de que algo está mirando y vigilando, del desconocimiento de la situación real, de la desconfianza en el entorno y de la forma en que pintan a las personas ya que hay una clara deshumanización muy marcada en cada personaje. Esto último es clave porque es lo que marca el camino y la evolución de las relaciones además de un cambio en el comportamiento motivado por varios sucesos que les pasa a cada uno a lo largo de la historia.

    The plot of the film is one of the simplest and most cliché things you can see and this is basically because of the amount of similar films with this theme. What makes it "special" is the absurd amount of tension, the eternal expectation that something is going to happen, that something is watching and watching, the lack of knowledge of the real situation, the distrust of the environment and the way people are portrayed, since there is a clear dehumanization very marked in each character. The latter is key because it is what marks the path and the evolution of relationships as well as a change in behavior motivated by various events that happen to each of them throughout the story.

    El film tiene un aura de teorías conspirativas que para muchos son un secreto a voces, como esa de que al mundo lo controla una pequeña elite de poder que puede hacer y deshacer a su antojo. Lo que llama la atención es que esto está hecho bajo los ojos de los Obama, será que ellos saben algo que nosotros no? o simplemente es ficción? - menciono esto porque es de las matrices de opiniones que más he leído al respecto, para mi es una tontería real pero estas cosas dan mucha publicidad. En este mismo orden también hay cierto "racismo" de negros hacia los blancos en una escena en particular. Esto también está dando de qué hablar especialmente si los Obama están detrás de este film. Como ven, es una película que no escapa de la "polémica".

    The film has an aura of conspiracy theories that for many are an open secret, such as the one that the world is controlled by a small power elite that can do and undo as it pleases. What is striking is that this is done under the eyes of the Obamas, could it be that they know something that we do not? or is it simply fiction? - I mention this because it is one of the matrices of opinions that I have read the most about it, for me it is a real nonsense but these things give a lot of publicity. In the same order there is also some "racism" of blacks towards whites in one particular scene. This is also giving something to talk about especially if the Obama's are behind this film. As you can see, it is a film that does not escape from "controversy".

    Hablando más técnicamente hay que decir que la película está muy bien hecha. A nivel de efectos todo está muy logrado, la fotografía es espectacular, la banda sonora, la cinematografía, el movimiento de cámaras es muy bueno, acostumbran a usar un ángulo que da un toque más de contrariedad y alimenta al caos que reina. La actuaciones para mi son bastante promedio y esto es doloroso teniendo en cuenta los grandes actores que hay; no son malas pero uno espera un poco más notoriedad en ellas y que destaquen. Julia Roberts es quizás la punta de la lanza, es una mujer que vive siempre dudando de todo, cuestionando todo y es que su empatía hacia las personas es limitada, diría que ella es lo que más destaca.

    Speaking more technically it must be said that the film is very well made. At the level of effects everything is very well done, the photography is spectacular, the soundtrack, the cinematography, the camera movement is very good, they use to use an angle that gives a touch more of contrariness and feeds the chaos that reigns. The performances for me are pretty average and this is painful considering the great actors that are there; they are not bad but one expects a little more notoriety in them and that they stand out. Julia Roberts is perhaps the tip of the spear, she is a woman who lives always doubting everything, questioning everything and her empathy towards people is limited, I would say that she is what stands out the most.

    El resto, como ya dije, todo muy average. Es una película rara y esta opinión crece con el final el cual me dejó un poco descolocado. Es uno que puede dar para miles de interpretaciones. No me atrapó y es una lastima porque lo tenía todo para hacerlo, de hecho empezó muy bien pero después todo se va diluyendo rápido además de que me pareció eterna, muy larga para lo poco que terminó siendo. Le doy un 6/10. Técnicamente es muy buena pero hasta ahí. Está disponible en Netflix y dura casi dos horas y media. Les dejo el tráiler.

    The rest, as I said, all very average. It's a weird movie and this opinion grows with the ending which left me a little bit confused. It is one that can give a thousand interpretations. It didn't catch me and it's a pity because it had everything to do it, in fact it started very well but then everything is diluted quickly and it seemed to me eternal, very long for how little it ended up being. I give it a 6/10. Technically it's very good but that's as far as it goes. It is available on Netflix and lasts almost two and a half hours. Here is the trailer.

15. ›Leaving the world behind: Is this a realistic view of the end of the world? EN/ES@fabian98930d

    Cómo sería estar dentro de un momento apocalíptico en la tierra qué sería lo primero que veríamos caer y qué pasaría con la sociedad en medio de la crisis? Pues esto es lo que nos trata de explicar la nueva película de Netflix dejar el mundo atrás una súper producción traída de la mano del director Sam Esmail, el mismo que estuvo bajo la dirección de series como mister robot y homecoming. Ahora nuevamente está trayéndonos una película apocalíptica que además de tener una trama bastante realista tiene actores de mucho peso en la industria tales como Julia Roberts, Ethan hawke, Kevin bacon y Mahershala Ali. Y luego de verla lo primero que pude notar en el internet es que bueno no tiene una gran recepción muchos la tildan de ser una película bastante genérica y mala pero como cada quien tiene una opinión sobre alguna película o serie en esta publicación vengo a dar mi opinión sobre la película y voy a tratar de ser lo más neutral posible.

    What would it be like to be inside an apocalyptic moment on earth, what would be the first thing we would see fall and what would happen to society in the midst of the crisis? Well this is what the new Netflix movie Leave the World Behind tries to explain, a super production brought by the hand of director Sam Esmail, the same who was under the direction of series like Mister Robot and Homecoming. Now again he is bringing us an apocalyptic movie that besides having a very realistic plot has actors of great weight in the industry such as Julia Roberts, Ethan hawke, Kevin bacon and Mahershala Ali. And after watching it, the first thing I noticed on the internet is that it has not had a great reception, many people label it as a pretty generic and bad movie, but as everyone has an opinion about a movie or series in this publication I come to give my opinion about the movie and I will try to be as neutral as possible.

    Pero antes de dar mi opinión sobre esta película conozcamos un poco de lo que va la trama básicamente se trata de una familia compuesta por Amanda, clay, Rosy y archie. Esta familia quiere pasar una hermosas vacaciones en long island pero poco a poco sus vacaciones se ven interrumpidas por sucesos que son bastante extraños y que pondrán a prueba su integridad física mental y familiar. Además se enfrentarán al dilema de tratar de sobrevivir cueste lo que cueste así como tratar de encontrarle el sentido a las cosas ya que supuestamente por un hackeo y un apagón masivo en todo Estados Unidos se comienzan a ver escenas catastróficas como si fuera el fin del mundo.

    La primera opinión que tengo sobre la película es que es bastante realista en primer lugar la película menciona que un ataque masivo a la redes de información de Estados Unidos lo cual hizo que cayera el sistema económico de ese país y por ende el sistema económico mundial esto se apega muchísimo a la realidad ya que si vemos en la actualidad prácticamente todo lo que nos rodea es electrónico o tiene que ver con algo de información electrónica así que si alguien quisiera hacer daño a otro país simplemente apaga su sistema eléctrico o lo desconecta del internet lo cual generaría un caos masivo. Y se puede ver perfectamente como esta película lo retrata y se ve como las personas comienzan a desesperarse porque su vida se desestabiliza. Además el que se apague en los sistemas eléctricos de un país o se ataque a los sistemas informáticos puede dañar en gran medida otras cosas y en la película también se ve ya que los aviones barcos todos comienzan a navegar sin rumbo y los aviones caen del cielo asesinando a muchas personas. lo cual si lo llevamos a la vida real es totalmente cierto ya que con un ataque hacia los sistemas informáticos y eléctricos estas cosas también pueden fallar y por ende ocurriría muchos desastres a nivel global.

    But before I give my opinion about this movie, let's know a little of what the plot is about, basically it is about a family composed by Amanda, Clay, Rosy and Archie. This family wants to spend a beautiful vacation on long island but little by little their vacation is interrupted by events that are quite strange and that will test their physical, mental and family integrity. They will also face the dilemma of trying to survive whatever it takes as well as trying to make sense of things since supposedly due to a hacking and a massive blackout throughout the United States they start to see catastrophic scenes as if it were the end of the world.

    The first opinion I have about the film is that it is quite realistic. First of all, the film mentions that a massive attack on the information networks of the United States caused the economic system of that country to collapse and therefore the world economic system, this is very close to reality because if we see that nowadays practically everything around us is electronic or has to do with electronic information, so if someone wanted to harm another country, they would simply turn off its electrical system or disconnect it from the Internet, which would generate massive chaos. And you can see perfectly how this movie portrays it and you see how people start to get desperate because their life is destabilized.In addition, if the electrical systems of a country are turned off or the computer systems are attacked, it can greatly damage other things and in the movie it is also seen as the airplanes and ships all begin to sail aimlessly and the planes fall from the sky killing many people. which if we take it to real life is totally true because with an attack on computer and electrical systems these things can also fail and therefore many disasters would occur globally.

    Otra cosa que me resulta muy interesante de la película ve es ver cómo los personajes poco a poco pareciera que van perdiendo la cordura y comienzan a desesperarse por encontrar una solución en una escena cuando acuden a Danny interpretado por Kevin bacon me recordó mucho a las escenas de the walking dead donde cuando el sistema mundial cayó las personas comenzaron a juntar provisiones y a tratar de sobrevivir con lo que tenían defendiéndolo hasta la muerte con armas cuchillos o con los dientes. Y también se ve cómo lo primero que se necesita al momento de ocurrir un desastre de esta magnitud o un ataque es resguardar medicinas ya que la película también nos muestra que es algo sumamente necesario.

    Además otro factor bastante interesante de la película es que supuestamente lo que ha ocurrido en todo Estados Unidos es un ataque de los enemigos y de hecho cierta escena hace ver que así es lo cual también nos recuerda que eso es totalmente cierto ya que Estados Unidos es un país que lamentablemente no le cae muy bien a muchas personas poderosas alrededor del mundo y como dice acá en la película pudiera ser uno o más o que todos los enemigos de Estados Unidos se unieran para poder atacar lo cual haría que poco a poco la población se desesperara e iniciará una guerra civil para que ellos mismos se destruyeran en masa lo cual al día de hoy es totalmente cierto ya que si vemos la realidad actual de Estados Unidos vemos que están al borde de una guerra civil ya que hay muchos mandos y es un país totalmente dividido en todos los sentidos.

    Another thing that I find very interesting about the film is to see how the characters gradually seem to lose their sanity and begin to despair to find a solution in a scene when they go to Danny played by Kevin bacon reminded me a lot of the scenes of the walking dead where when the world system fell people began to gather supplies and try to survive with what they had defending it to death with weapons, knives or teeth. And it is also seen how the first thing that is needed at the time of a disaster of this magnitude or an attack is to save medicines as the film also shows us that it is something extremely necessary.

    Another interesting factor in the movie is that supposedly what has happened in the United States is an attack by the enemies and in fact a certain scene makes us see that it is so which also reminds us that this is totally true since the United States is a country that unfortunately many powerful people around the world do not like and as it says here in the movie could be one or more or that all the enemies of the United States would unite to attack which would gradually make the population become desperate and start a civil war to destroy themselves en masse which today is totally true because if we see the current reality of the United States we see that they are on the verge of a civil war as there are many commands and is a country totally divided in every way.

    source

    Ahora mi opinión sobre la película es que es una película bastante realista no se va a los extremos exagerados ni tampoco cuenta la verdad como si fuera algo de ficción lo que la película trata de transmitir es lo que en realidad puede pasar en una situación así de ataque de un país a otro ya que en estos días un ataque electrónico es muchísimo más temido que una propia confrontación directa con armas. Así que mi opinión para esta película es darle un 8 de 10. Ya que aunque es bastante realista si hay algunas escenas que se salen de contexto y el final obviamente deja pie para una segunda parte lo cual sí lo haría elevaría su puntaje a 10 ya que uno queda con la expectativa de saber qué ocurre al final.

    Así que espero que te haya gustado esta reseña déjame en los comentarios si ya viste esta película y si es así déjame saber cuál es tu opinión sobre ella y si no la ha visto entonces te recomiendo que la veas y que me dejes también tu comentario de qué te ha parecido muchas gracias por leer y nos vemos en una próxima ocasión.

    Now my opinion about the movie is that it is a very realistic movie, it does not go to exaggerated extremes nor does it tell the truth as if it were fiction, what the movie tries to transmit is what can really happen in a situation of an attack from one country to another, since these days an electronic attack is much more feared than a direct confrontation with weapons. So my opinion for this movie is to give it an 8 out of 10. Although it is quite realistic there are some scenes that are out of context and the ending obviously leaves room for a sequel which would raise its score to 10 since one is left with the expectation of knowing what happens at the end.

    So I hope you liked this review let me know in the comments if you have seen this movie and if so let me know what is your opinion about it and if you have not seen it then I recommend you to see it and also leave me your comment of what you thought about it thank you very much for reading and see you next time.

16. ›Dejar el mundo atrás (de manera literal) ESP - ENG@valeriavalentina930d

    

    [](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12747748/mediaviewer/rm2021739265/)
    

    

    
    

    
    

    Dejar el mundo atrás es una película que se estrenó recientemente en Netflix, últimamente no había visto ninguna película y cuando me apareció está en la página de inicio pensé, "¿por qué no verla?", acto seguido la vi y debo decir que me gusto. Lo primero que me llamo la atención fue su nombre, ¿quién no ha querido dejar el "mundo" atrás unas cuantas veces?, no sé ustedes, pero yo sí, tipo irme a vivir a una montaña o algo, ja, ja, ja, en fin, la sinopsis solo nos dice que una familia rento una casa para irse de vacaciones un par de días y de pronto cosas extrañas empiezan a suceder (invitados indeseados, situaciones "apocalípticas"), leer eso fue lo suficientemente convincente para que empezara a reproducirla y verla de lleno. 

    
    

    

    [](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12747748/mediaviewer/rm847926017/)
    

    Este filme de un poco más de dos horas y que se divide por partes, lleva por nombre "Dejar el mundo atrás" por dos razones, la primera (y más obvia) es porque la casa de renta que alquilo la familia se llama literal así, la segunda es que el mensaje de la película es ese, dejar en su totalidad el mundo atrás sin importar lo que está pasando en él, esto queda más que claro por su final, en donde sé muestra a través de la hija de la protagonista que cuando las cosas están fuera de nuestro control, solo tenemos que dejar todo fluir sin importar lo duro que sea, crear nuestro lugar seguro y desconectar. Para muchos (algunas opiniones en internet), el final de la película no fue muy convincente, quedaron con la sensación de que ese no era el final, lo cual tiene sentido, ya que todo lo que pasa en la película es bastante fuerte, entonces uno esperaría algún tipo de solución a la problemática tan grande presentada, pero volviendo al nombre de la película, esos acontecimientos no eran el enfoque principal, el enfoque principal era representar lo que sería dejar el mundo atrás en toda su literalidad. 

    El suspenso, las buenas actuaciones (solo no me gusto la interpretación del hijo de la familia, sorry not sorry) y las ganas de saber qué está pasando no faltan en Dejar el mundo atrás, Julia Roberts se lució como siempre, los efectos estuvieron buenos, toda la ambientación, el cómo enfocaban las cosas pienso sí logro crear la típica sensación de incógnita y ominosidad que ese tipo de películas busca generar (muy importante) más a mí me encanta ser sorprendida con que las películas y series no terminen como lo espero, porque a veces de ver tantas uno termina siempre adivinando como se desarrollara todo, lo cual puede llegar a ser con el tiempo poco divertido, ¿no creen ustedes? Quiero mencionar que en esta película, Rosie, la hija de la protagonista (Julia Roberts), es el personaje clave, es el significado de la película en sí misma y eso me encanto. Me agradas pequeña niña obsesionada con Friends, aunque no me guste Friends.

    Este filme recomiendo verlo, no es una eminencia, pero es bueno, es decir, no es algo nunca antes visto, pero sí tiene frescura y puede llegar a hacer reflexionar a muchos. Creo que siempre es bueno sacar a colación mensajes importantes para la vida de manera gráfica, ya saben, a los humanos se nos olvidan las cosas y siempre están naciendo nuevos humanitos, un ciclo en el que siempre la enseñanza a través de diferentes medios prevalece. Si te gusta el suspenso, las películas americanas sobre el fin del mundo o similares más quiere entretenerte un rato, posiblemente Dejar el mundo atrás te gustará.

    Leaving the world behind is a movie that was recently released on Netflix, lately I had not seen any movie and when this one appeared on the home page I thought, "why not watch it?", I watched it and I must say that I liked it. The first thing that caught my attention was its name, who hasn't wanted to leave the "world" behind a few times?, I don't know about you, but I have, like going to live in a mountain or something, ha, ha, ha, ha, anyway, the synopsis only tells us that a family rented a house to go on vacation for a couple of days and suddenly strange things start to happen (unwanted guests, "apocalyptic" situations), reading that was convincing enough for me to start playing it and watch it straight through.

    This film is a little more than two hours long and is divided into parts, it's called "Leaving the world behind" for two reasons, the first (and most obvious) is because the rental house that the family rented is literally called that way, the second is that the message of the film is that, to leave the world behind no matter what is happening in it, this becomes more than clear by its ending, where it shows through the protagonist's daughter that when things are out of our control, we just have to let everything flow no matter how hard it is, create our safe place and disconnect. For many (some opinions on the internet), the ending of the movie was not very convincing, they were left with the feeling that somehow that was not the ending, which makes sense, since everything that happens in the movie is pretty heavy, then one would expect some kind of solution to the very big problem presented, but going back to the name of the movie, those events were not the main focus, the main focus was to depict what it would be like to leave the world behind in all its literalness.

    The suspense, the good performances (I just didn't like the interpretation of the son of the family, sorry not sorry) and the desire to know what is happening are not lacking in Leaving the World Behind, Julia Roberts shined as always, the effects were good, the whole setting, the way things were approached I think it did manage to create the typical feeling of unknown and ominousness that this kind of movies seek to generate (very important) plus I love to be surprised with movies and series that don't end as I expect, because sometimes from watching so many one always ends up guessing how everything will develop, which can become little boring over time, don't you think? I want to mention that in this movie, Rosie, the daughter of the main character (Julia Roberts), is the key character, she is the meaning of the movie itself and I loved that. I like you little girl obsessed with Friends, even if I don't like Friends.

    I recommend watching this film, it's not outstanding, but it's good, that is, it's not something never seen before, but is fresh and can make many people reflect. I think it's always good to bring up important messages for life in a graphic way, you know, we humans forget things and new little humans are always being born, a cycle in which teaching through different ways always prevails. If you like suspense, American movies about the end of the world or similar plus just want to be entertained for a while, possibly Leaving the World Behind will appeal to you.

17. ›LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND | MOVIE REVIEW@josehany931d

    LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND

    Today I opened my Netflix as I usually do every Sunday and I found this movie as the first option, I stopped to read the synopsis and really the only thing that made me decide to watch it was that Julia Roberts would be there and I thought to myself that it couldn't be bad , however there are mixed feelings here.

    Hoy abrí mi Netflix como suelo hacer todos los domingos y me encontré con esta película como primera opción, me detuve a leer la sinopsis y realmente lo único que me hizo decidir verla fue que estaría Julia Roberts y pensé para mis adentros que no podría ser mala, sin embargos hay sentimientos encontrados aquí.

    Let's start talking about the movie, this will be a short paragraph, I hope.

    We meet a family that seems to be the typical American family, they are in the city and suddenly the wife (Julia) decides that they need a vacation and it is the best time to do it, so they rent a kind of Airbnb on Long Island, On the first day they arrive and everything is fine until on a walk on the beach something strange happens with a boat, and that is just the beginning of the strange things. Later at night while the children are sleeping, the couple hears a noise coming from outside and then someone knock on the door, the strangest thing is that it was the owners of that house bringing news that a blackout had occurred and they needed to stay in that house because it is safer. But really this is just the beginning of a world that seems to be falling apart while no one pays attention.

    Empecemos hablando de la película, esto será un párrafo corto, espero.

    Nos encontramos con una familia que parece ser la típica familia americana, están en la ciudad y de pronto la esposa (julia) decide que necesitan unas vacaciones y es el mejor momento para hacerlo, por lo que alquilan una especie de Airbnb en Long Island, el primer día llegan y todo está muy bien hasta que en un paseo por la playa sucede algo extraño con un naufragio, y eso es sólo el comienzo de las cosas raras. Más tarde en la noche mientras los niños duermen, la pareja escucha un ruido proveniente de afuera y en eso llaman a la puerta, la cosa más extraña es que eran los dueños de esa casa trayendo noticias de qué había ocurrido un apagón y necesitaban quedarse en esa casa porque es más segura. Pero realmente esto es todo el inicio de un mundo que parece estar desmoronándose mientras nadie pone atención.

    Today I will be simpler and only relate that part of the plot, but I am going to go a little deeper with my personal comments.

    It is obvious that this film is apocalyptic and also belongs to the thriller, there is a lot of psychology involved in this whole issue and it feels like this situation is happening to me and by this I mean the characters and the entire development of the film. I think the story itself is quite open to any interpretation. It is evident that something is happening, but we do not know what it is, as a viewer you are waiting. However, in this entire plot not even the characters know what is happening so it creates a kind of confusion and I think that if I were in their place I would have entered into a kind of mass hysteria.

    The whole movie you feel like what's going on here? And the characters are just like us, we are people who are not prepared for anything and who don't handle any type of information either. And something I didn't like is that I never fully understood what was happening and they never say it, throughout the film we have to assume or not know why the story was incomplete, perhaps that was the point to be able to bring the feeling to the viewer, that feeling of confusion and despair that the characters feel.

    On the other hand, it felt so American. Always talking about the government, about the elites, that people with money control the world and will make us disappear if they want. Somewhere they mention something not so explicit, but you deduce that it is more of the same and perhaps a little illuminati here, corruption there... Maybe they are right and soon we are going to suffer from something similar but what is very certain are 2 things: 1.- that New York will burn in flames like in every apocalyptic movie I see, hahaha. 2.- We are all a little more paranoid every day.

    To conclude, I thought it was a film that keeps you glued to the screen from beginning to end, it is entertaining, the ending is not at all conclusive and it injects you with emotions throughout the film. I don't consider it the best film I have ever seen, but neither I would put it in the bad movies category, I liked it.

    Es obvio que esta película es apocalíptica y también pertenece al thriller, hay mucha psicología envuelta en todo este tema y se siente que es como si esta situación me estuviera pasando a mí y con esto me refiero a los personajes y todo el desarrollo de la película. La historia en sí creo que es bastante abierta a cualquier interpretación. Es evidente qué algo está sucediendo, pero no sabemos que es, como espectador estás a la expectativa., sin embargo, en toda esta trama ni siquiera los personajes saben qué está sucediendo así qué te crea una especie de confusión y creo que si yo estuviera en el lugar de ellos habría entrado en una clase de histeria colectiva.

    En toda la película te sientes como ¿qué está pasando aquí? Y los personajes están igual que nosotros, somos personas que no están preparadas para nada y que tampoco manejan ningún tipo de información. Y algo qué no me gustó es que nunca terminé de entender qué estaba sucediendo y nunca lo dicen, en toda la película tenemos que asumir o no saber porque la historia quedó incompleta, quizá ese era el punto para poder llevar el sentimiento hasta el espectador, ese sentimiento de confusión y desesperación que sienten los personajes.

    Por otro lado, lo sentí tan americana. Siempre hablando del gobierno, de las élites, que las personas con dinero controlan el mundo y nos harán desaparecer si ellos desean. En alguna parte mencionan algo no tan explícito, pero vas deduciendo que se trata más de lo mismo y quizá un poco de illuminati por aquí, corrupción por allá… Quizá tengan razón y pronto vamos a sufrir de algo similar pero lo que es bien seguro son 2 cosas: 1.- que New York arderá en llamas como en cada película apocalíptica que veo, jajaja. 2.- Todos estamos cada día un poco más paranoicos.

    Para concluir me pareció una película que te mantiene de principio a fin pegado a la pantalla, está entretenida, el final no es nada concluyente y te inyecta de emociones a lo largo de la película, no la considero la mejor película que haya visto pero tampoco la pondría en la categoría de malas películas, me gustó.

18. ›An Apocalyptic Thriller to Savour || Leave the World Behind Film Review@olujay931d

    The word "slowburn" as one of the descriptions piqued my interest when I found this film. Although I had recently watched a film that had a similar thing, this one was going to be something about a dystopian time; apocalyptic would be more apt. A snippet from the film fueled my interest even more.

    

    Leave the World Behind sounded more like people were going to evacuate the earth or something. I had missed that kind of film where I would get to see spaceships and some extraterrestrial drama, and the title and the snippet I watched made me expect that. It was nothing like that, however.

    The 2023 film is an adaptation of a book of the same name, written by Rumaan Alam. With a two-hour runtime, it comprises elements that are ominous, thrilling, and intruiging. The most exciting thing for me, however, was the cinematography.

    What the film turns out to be is something rather thought-provoking when one reads in between the lines. Or should I say in between the scripts? In the end, we realise something quite apparent about human nature and just how we are our own undoing.

    

    𝔸𝔹𝕆𝕌𝕋 𝕋ℍ𝔼 𝕄𝕆𝕍𝕀𝔼

    Amanda doesn't like people and being around them, and so she wakes up one day with the idea of getting away from the city with her family to a house on Long Island. Her family, Clay her husband, Archie and Rose her son and daughter, are obsessed with their technology.

    As soon as they reach the house, they begin to lose reception and internet services. Shortly afterwards, they began to experience blackouts. Then a family shows up in the middle of the night at their doorstep, asking to spend the night because they're far from home, with some shady explanation.

    

    A series of events unfold, global hysteria ensues, and everyone is cut off from themselves with no cellular, internet service, or electricity. Things escalate with every turn, and the two families are stuck together to try and survive.

    

    𝕄𝕐 𝕋ℍ𝕆𝕌𝔾ℍ𝕋𝕊 & 𝕆ℙ𝕀ℕ𝕀𝕆ℕ

    I didn't think I would sit for the entire film in one go because it was two hours long. It was when there were about 10 minutes left that I realised how much time had passed. What this implies is that I was engrossed for most of the film. And there are certain things that I appreciate about it. There were also some things that raised my eyebrows in the film.

    The film is split into five parts. Each of those parts is not exactly a different section of the film but just points signifying different occurences in the apocalyptic world, or more like different levels. I particularly like this, as it wasn't something conventionally done in movies. It made me feel like there was still more to come in addition to the experience that I was already enjoying.

    Considering the genre and runtime of the film and the fact that it was going to be a slowburn, I had prepared myself to be patient and expect the development of the story and its characters to take some time. But shortly after the introduction scenes, it had already started getting intriguing for me.

    

    From start to finish, I kept watching closely, trying to wrap my head around what was going on. There were strange occurrences with no plausible explanation, like a ship crashing into a shore and a plane falling out of the sky into the ocean.

    The dialogues between the characters were a mixture of intense, witty, spooky, casual, and hilarious in many cases. I enjoyed just how certain characters interacted with themselves. And considering that there were different ages of characters, there was a whole dynamic to it all.

    

    The storyline was engagingly progressive. I felt carried along through each scene and savoured every moment of it. Some things didn't quite add up, however. As much as I enjoyed the thrills, I couldn't help but question, in the back of my mind, the explanations for what I was watching. I hoped that I would find the answer in the end, but what I got didn't exactly suffice eventually. It wasn't a problem anyway, and there is a good reason.

    The general idea I got from the film was how flawed we are as humans in nature. As much as we make the world what it is and becomes, we consequentially break it with our actions and how we treat ourselves in certain circumstances. A part of the film explains how this is so, and that's something I appreciate, but it didn't really suffice for the mysterious things that had happened earlier.

    This film review would be incomplete without discussing the level of impression that I got from the cinematography of this film. I would say that I enjoyed the film mostly because it was just so hard to not notice and appreciate it.

    

    For many parts of the film, I wondered just how they may have shot them. The camera work was so appealing that I was ravished by what I saw. There are certain nuances to different levels of storytelling in films that cinematography—lights, sets, camera work—contribute to. An enhanced experience was what I had with this film, thanks to the team behind the visual storytelling.

    The music is something to point out. When we are talking about ominous, this film has a lot of sounds like that. At almost every point in time, I thought something was going to happen—something spooky or really chilling. It's not that there were false alarms, but that the sounds I heard all through set the vibes for a really thrilling experience.

    𝕄𝕐 𝔽𝕀ℕ𝔸𝕃 𝕋ℍ𝕆𝕌𝔾ℍ𝕋𝕊...

    The fact that I didn't exactly get the answers to some of the questions I had in my film didn't really affect the fact that I enjoyed it regardless. It was just alright for me the way it ended. The way it ended gave a hint that the film was also some sort of tribute to the late star of the American sitcom Friends that recently passed on, Matthew Perry.

    This is an apocalyptic film to enjoy, especially when one just needs to unwind. It may not be perfect, but I recommend it regardless.

    I'll give it a rating of 8.5/10.
