Hello! As part of our ongoing efforts to improve both interaction and curation in the Movies and TV Shows Community, this post is one of many to highlight and boost members of the past week that have posted what we believe is exceptional content.
The Details
Each week, our Moderators will monitor the posts within the Movies and TV Shows Community and handpick the ones that are believed to stand out under numerous factors: post quality, length, and subject.
There are no entry requirements, and this is not a contest, but simply a roundup intended to provide additional exposure to all of you for your efforts. Just have fun posting in the Movies & TV Shows Community and five or more posts will be chosen frequently.
In the face of this figure of oppression the heroes stand out, first of all, Scott Lang, Ant-Man, who goes from being a little unconcerned with what is happening around him to once again taking part in his mission to save, on this occasion, the quantum world. The Wasp, although she did not have a relevant participation, is also noteworthy because she continues to show herself as the inseparable companion of her beloved. Cassie Lang, who is already emerging as the heiress of the Pim particles, makes her debut here, but the most important thing is that despite her young age, she shows courage and good heart, which brings back fond memories of the early adventures of Ant-Man.
FILM REVIEW: Crimes of the Future (2022): The evolution of humanity is fascinating
The landscape of the film is generally unknown. We know we're in the future and there has been a monumental shift in human evolution. These new vestigial organs are being grown by a good portion of society. Their purpose are unknown at this point although it's hinted at larger things in the future. Can these organs potentially integrate with other organic systems and potentially create something new? This never directly comes to fruition; we know it might. While not spoiling what the new evolution might be, the next potential evolution are beings that can live off of the world they are now living in. Byproducts of hundreds of years could now be their sustenance while the lowly unevolved human race is left behind.
I watched Shazam Fury of the Gods with my friends (review with spoilers)
I have to be clear that there are things that, knowing the style of superhero movie that it is, the main plot had to be predictable to some extent in the resolution of things, but at the same time there were a few details with interesting twists (even if the outcome was the same). I would say one of these is that Annie, the girl who was talking to Freddy, turned out to be Atlas' third daughter: Anthea. One of my friends was saying "THAT'S THE BAD ONE" before the part about a third daughter was revealed, and while it seemed kind of a joke that he could draw that conclusion so soon from being involved with Freddy, I still don't know how to take the fact that he correctly guessed that twist, as if he had read the intent of her appearances so soon. And when Freddy finds out...it's because the other two also came to kidnap him and put up an energy dome that has the city trapped.
My experience as a unit photographer in "El Teléfono", a Venezuelan short film
During these days of shooting, I realized how difficult it is to make films, and how any detail can have a negative influence, or the opposite, on the audiovisual product. The unit still photographer experience helped me to be the eye that recorded the hard work of the cast and everyone involved that made this short film possible, filmed mostly inside a house, which was lent by two kind and nice people. It is during these moments that I value working together, and how each person is an important cog.
Over almost three hours of projection, the movie would have been much more efficient at this point if it had gone straight to the point (as it does in its insane action sequences, which for the most part are shot in an extremely creative way), but there are several disposable scenes, which serve only as a kind of “breathing” for the audience between one action scene and another. The “emptiness” in the script is evident and this ends up slowing down the pace of the story, which gradually loses its breath and turns the project into something more “disposable” at certain times. The most epic moments of the movie are still the action scenes, and this only strengthens how much it is a “recycled” movie.
Lo que me gustó y No me gusto de Creed III / What I liked and did not like about Creed III
Without giving you spoilers I want to tell you that you are going to love the final fight,
I didn't expect this, that is, I've seen so many final fights in the Rocky Universe that I was already predisposed to only see a great final fight, but it turns out that Michael B. Jordan has done something incredible by making a fight with the filmic elements of an anime Regarding the rhythm, the setting, the movements, the perspectives of the boxers, it is that he put us in that ring without realizing it, it was a sensory experience, it is too good and he has managed to give it a unique and differential seal within all the Rocky movie.
I really liked the performance of our protagonist as is the young man known as Johnny, a young man who has a great appreciation for pets, he takes care of them and from the beginning shows us the desire to fight and will give everything possible to help your pet, his personality is unique and puts a perfect touch to this film, and especially the responsibility he has in his hands, plus that dog is his greatest source of inspiration and leads him to find that happiness, friendship and the true meaning of having a pet at home. In addition, the presence of many other protagonists such as the father, who do very well, since he is the typical person who does not like pets, but in the end they end up getting attached to them.
I also really liked the way Charlie looked, the angle from which the shots were taken, the way he moved in the room with the walker, very slowly, he was really a whale. They seemed submerged in the ocean. Impeccable. The film developed in a linear way, the detail of listing the days seemed to me to reinforce how fast things happened. The colors, the rain, very easy to create a sad atmosphere. My favorite scene lasted a few seconds, when against all odds, he didn't eat the chocolate. There I could see the thoughts going through his head, the struggle between resignation and the hope of living, of not wanting to do everything wrong, at that moment I cried, a lot. I reflected myself in him and felt compassion.
This particular series tackles complicated and sensitive issues such as white slavery and gender violence in an interesting and exciting way, however, I consider that it also has some weak points, the plot may seem like more of the same for some, but for me it is fabulous, I get caught by the series that touch the subject of white slavery, drugs and killings.
Big Time Adolescence (film): A touching story that I think we can all relate to
I think that story will be relatable to a lot of people because when I was in high school or even later in college there were a few people that would hang around that were a lot of fun and I didn't realize it at the time but those men and women really shouldn't be attempting to influence teenagers lives since they have clearly really screwed up their own. I remember people like that from my own past and some time later I would look them up and find out that they never managed to accomplish anything with their lives and are now terribly pathetic and quite depressed.
The first aspect I should mention is the power of imagination as a human resource to interpret the world. The world is not a certain way, the world is the way I am. As human beings, I think that we have no nature and that we possess the power to modify our environment and imagination is there as a resource, it is not as many think that imagination is escape, or escape. On the other hand, the film is a journey between the tension between life and death, I feel that each extreme is pulsating against the other and part of what we are is how we walk that thread that joins the extremes. To be human is to walk on the tightrope between two abysses or that is what Nietzsche would say and that seems to me to be an accurate point of view.
Congratulations to everyone that was chosen, and thank you to everyone posting in Movies and TV Shows! We look forward to the next report and highlighting even more of you.
