  1. [Movie review] [Eng | Esp] The Mothman Prophecies | The future that no one wants to know about@jrjaime1074d
    Welcome my dear internet travelers lovers of misfortunes and thank you very much for making a temporary stop in my post, I am a big fan of scary things, which is why it is not surprising that I am a follower of DrossRotzank (Highly recommended if you like the subject) I digress, the point is that he made a top on supernatural entities in which he highlighted one called "Mothman" where a film based on this event entitled "The Mothman Prophecies" was recommended, which talks about its history and so on. Without further ado, prepare to have prophecies about tragedies that we are about to begin.
    Bienvenidos mis queridos viajeros del internet amantes de las desgracias y muchas gracias por hacer una parada temporal en mi post, soy muy fanático de las cosas de miedo es por ello que no es de sorprender que sea seguidor de DrossRotzank (Muy recomendado si les gusta el tema) estoy divagando, el punto es que hizo un top sobre entes sobrenaturales en el que destacó uno llamado el "Hombre polilla" en donde se recomendó una cinta basada en este hecho titulada "The Mothman Prophecies" que habla de su historia y demás. Sin más que agregar prepárense para tener profecías sobre tragedias que estamos por comenzar.

    The soundtrack is quite gloomy and it fosters an atmosphere of mystery in accordance with what is handled throughout the film, it remains consistent with everything that is worked on throughout the film.
    La banda sonora es bastante tétrica y que propicia un ambiente de misterio acordé con lo que se maneja a lo largo del filme, se mantiene concordante con todo lo que se trabaja a lo largo de la cinta.

    The construction of the world feels well worked because it explores its context in an interesting way, in turn, importance is given to the population of the small town, making the viewer interested in the details that the plot gives, which are embodied in the setting that you have. On the other hand, I must highlight the fact that he works on the subject as realistically as possible, making the group naturally skeptical of such a complex situation, giving the matter plausibility.
    La construcción de mundo se siente bien trabajada debido a que explora su contexto de forma interesante, a su vez, se le da importancia a la población del pequeño pueblo haciendo que el espectador se interese por los detalles que va dando la trama los cuales se encuentran plasmados en la ambientación que se tiene. Por otro lado, he de destacar el hecho de que trabaja el tema lo más realista posible haciendo que el colectivo se encuentre naturalmente escépticos ante una situación tan compleja dándole plausibilidad al asunto.

    This is an interesting section, right off the bat you have the fact that it is based on real events, which gives it a certain aura of even more powerful suspense, leaving the above aside, there is the fact that the narrative is well worked to the point that it keeps the mystery being a mystery, seeking to tell a story rather than providing answers about it, this decision makes that feeling of uncertainty is transmitted correctly. I previously mentioned the exposed incredulity of the people before the subject in general, but since it also has weight in the plot, I think I agreed to highlight it here, adding the fact that it exposes different discourses regarding premonitions of misfortunes and the idea of ​​whether or not it is worth doing something to try to warn about it, this leaves open a certain philosophical nuance about whether it would be convenient to risk everything in order to try to stop a catastrophe that will affect possible strangers.
    Este es un apartado interesante, de buenas a primeras se tiene el hecho de que es basada en hechos reales lo que le da cierto halo de suspenso aún más potente, dejando lo anterior de lado está el hecho de que la narrativa está bien trabajada al punto de que mantiene el misterio siendo un misterio buscando contar una historia más que el hecho de proporcionar respuestas sobre el mismo, esta decisión hace que ese sentimiento de incertidumbre se transmita de forma correcta. Mencioné previamente la incredulidad expuesta de la gente ante el tema en general pero como está tiene peso también en la trama me parece acordé el hecho de también destacarlo aquí añadiendo el hecho de que expone diferentes discursos con respecto a las premoniciones de desgracias y la idea de si vale la pena o no hacer algo para intentar alertar al respecto, esto deja abierto cierto matiz filosófico sobre si sería conveniente arriesgar todo con tal de tratar de detener una catástrofe que afectará a posibles desconocidos.

    In general, all the characters that appear on the screen feel interesting, they all face an entity they don't know and fail to understand its intentions, making them feel very human, on the other hand, it shows something of their life to get to know them a little and feel more plausible how these phenomena affect them in their day to day. The protagonist results in a character who goes through many inconveniences and with whom one can empathize precisely for the fact that he suffers these problems, the fact that he presents a lot of confusion and fear regarding what he faces makes him feel very human, thus highlighting a well-achieved characterization.
    En general todos los personajes que aparecen en pantalla se sienten interesante, todos se enfrentan a una entidad que no conocen y no logran comprender sus intenciones haciéndoles sentir muy humanos, por otro lado, deja ver algo de su vida para conocerles un poco y sentir más plausible como esos fenómenos les afectan en su día a día. El protagonista resulta en un personaje que atraviesa muchos inconvenientes y con el cual se puede empatizar precisamente por el hecho de sufrir dichos problemas, el hecho de que presente mucha confusión y miedo con respecto a lo que enfrenta lo hace sentir muy humano destacando así una caracterización bien lograda.


    The Mothman Prophecies is not a film that tries to give answers or generate fear directly, it mainly seeks to capture a story with a lot of intrigue and bewilderment that to a certain extent is enough, you will see the form of social response to this type of circumstances, which makes it an interesting film. That is why it deserves 3.5 stars out of 7, a simple film with few ambitions that manages to meet the objectives it sets and tell the story it wants, if you like documentaries of paranormal events this will be a good proposal.
    The Mothman Prophecies no es un filme que intente dar respuestas ni generar miedo de forma directa, busca mayormente plasmar una historia con mucha intriga y desconcierto que hasta cierto punto es bastante verás la forma de respuesta social ante este tipo de circunstancias lo que la hace una cinta interesante. Es por ello que merece 3.5 estrellas de 7, un filme sencillo y con pocas ambiciones que logra cumplir los objetivos que se propone y contar la historia que quiere, si les gustan los documentales de sucesos paranormales está será una buena propuesta.

  2. Review of The Mothman Prophecies (2002)@thunderjack1269d

    My daughter, Little Miss, had recently picked up a film on DVD called The Mothman Prophecies, and, of course, has wanted to watch it with me and my Bonnie Bride. This is a supernatural thriller revolving around John Klein (Richard Gere) and a series of events that he is involved in that begins with the death of his wife at the beginning of the film, and then two years later finds himself inexplicably in the small town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. There, Klein’s life is interwined with numerous residents, including a local police officer, Connie (Laura Linney), and Gordon (Will Patton).

    It is, as a mentioned, a supernatural thriller about an entity referred to locally as The Mothman (queue theme song...Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-Mothman!), and various weird things that some of the local townsfolk, including Gordon and Connie, have experienced, including premonitions of what may be coming down in the future for them, including near-death experiences.

    Little Miss is fascinated by supernatural stories, and had learned about the Mothman from various other sources. This film is based on the 1975 book by John Keel, with some liberties taken related to the timing of the events, originally asserted to take place in the 1960s, not during the open years of the 21 ST Century, including the collapse of Silver Bridge (it collapsed in the late ‘60s) and claims the reason for the bridge failure has never been explained. Well, maybe not in 1975 when Keel’s book was published, but by the time this film was made engineers certainly did know the cause of the structural failure.

    Aside from some of the historical and factual inaccuracies, and taking this as a film of entertainment, it is a pretty darn good film. It kept us all interested in seeing where things were going to go, and how it would end. That makes it a good movie...we wanted to keep watching it.

    The cast did a good job, including Gere (sorry, never been much on his films, I think I have seen three prior to this) and the rest of the cast were all people I am unfamiliar with, although my Bonnie Bride did recognize a few of them, including Linney. Production values were solid, and kept a good pace as it moved through the story. At times you could almost feel the intensity of wierdness that was being projected onto and by the characters, including Klein dealing with strange phone calls.

    Strangely, Little Miss insists that The Mothman Prophecies is a Christmas movie because the events take place duing the Christmas Holiday season, culminating on Christmas Eve. Yeah, just like Die Hard is a Christmas movie (in that case, so is The Ghost and the Darkness).

    If you are into supernatural thrillers that at least attempts to give you the creeps, then The Mothman Prophecies is well worth watching. Take it as a piece of entertainment, though, and not as a dramatization of actual supernatural events. And yes, I can see myself watching it again sometime in the future. Even now, I can hear Little Miss saying “Daddy, let’s watch Mothman!”. Probably when December rolls around.

    Thanks for stopping by.
