Heaven Can Wait - Review en Español

"There's a reason for everything. There's always a plan"

Los fines de semana todos tenemos nuestros propios rituales, lavar la ropa, salir a hacer las compras y de vez en cuando, ver una película de comedia nunca está de más. No concuerdo con la idea que Heaven Can Wait es absurda en su premisa, incluso Dios puede equivocarse y en una burocracia algunos procesos son tan ambiguos que remover a alguien antes de tiempo es algo que podemos ver todo el tiempo. Lo que logra Warren Beatty y Elaine May en términos del guion es una mezcla de fantasía y absurdismo que no solo hace a uno reír, nos hace pensar en nuestras propias vidas y que haríamos si se nos diera otra oportunidad.

Si bien el personaje de Joe Pendleton (Warren Beatty) busca satisfacer sus deseos terrenales y cumplir su sueño de jugar en el Super Bowl uno se da cuenta de que, a pesar de tener todo el dinero del mundo, al entrar en el cuerpo de Leo Farnsworth, este nunca pierde su objetivo ni su capacidad de empatía con el mundo y sus allegados. Por supuesto, este tipo de historias no es nueva y se adapta y transforma a lo largo del tiempo, A Christmas Carol tiene una idea similar al igual que It's a Wonderful Life, lo que eleva a la película y la hace, a mi parecer, única, es el arrebatarle a nuestro protagonista su memoria y la oportunidad de vivir el resto de su vida con una nueva lección.

Al final, la ambigüedad de si logrará recordar su antigua vida o no queda a la imaginación del lector, se nos tienta la idea de recuperar la memoria con varios objetos y personas importantes en la vida de Joe, su entrenador hablando con él, su clarinete presente en el vestuario del equipo, y finalmente Betty Logan, su prometida, apareciendo al final, pero sin ningún indició de saber algo excepto que la estática de ambos logra trascender barreras de tiempo, cuerpo y niveles espirituales.

Review: What is a Woman? - 2022

Story - Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire travels around the world to ask one of the biggest questions of this generation. Cast - Matt Walsh Crew - Justin Folk (Director) Runtime - 95 minutes What is a woman? A woman is someone who claims that as their identity. After two years of the pandemic, many theater chains and venues are struggling to put people in their seats, it is harder than ever to get a group of 150–200 people to sit quietly and watch a drama, comedy, or even horror movie, surprisingly, one category of film that has seen a consistent demographic to show up are "conservative" or "right-wing" movies. This is not a new phenomenon, there have always been movies whose primary audiences were conservative, republican, and white throughout history, but this new era of filmmaking has been growing and gaining more attention after the release of the 2023 movie 'Sound of Freedom'. The supposed docum...

Review: Resan (The Journey) - 1987

Story - Petter Watkins' global look at the impact of military use of nuclear technology and people's perception of it, as well as a meditation on the inherent bias of the media, and documentaries themselves. Cast - Peter Watkins Crew - Peter Watkins (Director) Runtime - 873 minutes "I think to remove the veil of ignorance from the world is the most direct way at least to achieve enlightenment." Sometimes it is incredibly difficult to sit and watch a long movie, after all, the way of life in the XXI century has been accelerating to the point that 90-minute movies are consumed in 20 different parts on a tiny screen while commuting to work. This is a world that 15 years ago I would have never imagined. I believe on this occasion, watching a movie divided into 19 different sections has helped me to appreciate and embrace what it is trying to say on a different level. It is hard for someone in 2024 to...

Emilia Pérez - Review

Cast - Karla Sofía Garcón, Zoë Saldana, Selena Gomez. Jacques Audiard - Director "Habla, esta gente habla, pero ahora lo van a pagar." As a Mexican, having to watch ignorant, simplistic, and often disrespectful depictions of how life is in this country is to be expected once in a while. There are countless examples of this in cinema, television, and the opinions of random Twitter users. Most of these are embraced, reclaimed, and even celebrated by large sections of the population, I doubt Emilia Pérez , with its soap opera sensibilities will be hated by many of them. For the more progressive outlets, critics from Mexico, and on Social Media, this is yet another example of a whitewashed representation of the entire country's way of living, its government, and attempting to tackle an issue that causes hundreds of thousands of dead and missing people every year without the proper education and g...
