Warm greetings! Today I'll be reviewing one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. I truly never thought I'd like it so much. I'd been putting it off for a while until one day I decided to watch it with my children. It's called
FLOW (2024)
I had refused to watch it because I kept asking myself how a film where not a single word is spoken could convey anything, and let me tell you, I was very wrong.
It's a film that confronts us with that great dilemma of humanity when it has destroyed its own planet. No humans appear in the story either; we only see animals in a world where various natural phenomena occur that are beyond their understanding, and they simply try to adapt and survive.
In the story, we see various characters, such as:
The Cat (Protagonist): He is a black, solitary, very independent cat with a very ordinary appearance. At first, he is afraid of water and distrustful of everyone, but he is the central figure of the group and the one who must learn to trust others in order to survive.
The Capybara: It's the peaceful soul of the group. It's extremely relaxed, good-natured, and lazy (spending a lot of time sleeping). It's not bothered by the conflicts of others and becomes the peacemaker of the group, keeping the crew together and demonstrating great nobility.
The Dog (A Labrador Retriever): It's cheerful, noisy, hyperactive, and bursting with energy. Unlike his original pack, he is extremely friendly and just wants to play and make friends, even with the apathetic cat; he represents absolute loyalty.
The Lemur: A ring-tailed lemur who turns out to be a compulsive hoarder. He is obsessed with collecting and protecting all kinds of shiny objects and trinkets he finds along the way. At first, he is selfish, but he changes throughout the journey. I found him to be the cutest and funniest of the group.
The Secretary Bird: A large and majestic bird that joins the group after being injured and separated from its flock. Although it has trouble flying due to its injury, it becomes a kind of wise guide or helmsman for the group. I would say it is the most powerful figure in the story.
Together, these animals struggle to survive the natural disasters they encounter along their journey. It's a dramatic, sometimes harrowing story with a profound message about caring for the environment and our only home: Earth.
It's a pleasure to share this brief review with you.
