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.
This is one of my favorite TV villains. Octavio Toscano is Eduardo Santamarina's first villain (best known for being a leading man in soap operas) but the fact is not believable as he seems to be used to playing this type of character. Octavio is a sociopath, a man who, terrified of returning to the poverty in which he was born, is obsessed with money, with increasing his fortune (obtained from his marriage to the daughter of his former employer) and which has grown with investments, malpractices and also the theft of land from small ranchers.
A movie full of the characteristic humor, I like the interaction that Mantis has with Drax, both make a perfect interpretation of the characters, dynamic, Drax quite extroverted, his way of seeing and living things make him unique, we can also see a more confident and modern Mantis and his touch of innocence.
American Assassin: How far would you be willing to go for revenge?
As you can see we have two extremes, one that to save many people must put aside his revenge and another that continues with his thirst for revenge until the end, the denouement is exciting, there is a lot of action and deaths along the way but everything obeys an order of events that make this movie something masterful from my point of view. In 2017 when it was released it did not have much acceptance, perhaps because of the violent and bloody, although I think it had a lot to do with the issue of terrorism since here they involve countries like Iraq and Iran linked to this and the development of nuclear weapons.
Keanu Reeves is the only one who kept this franchise moving on for this long. His role in the franchise was made for him and him alone. I doubt anyone else could fit into his role the way he did. Yes, his dialogues are scanty but he still conveys a lot of messages through his mannerism, moves, and action. An action man I would name his character. Reeves was fantastic in this sequel as he has been in the previous installments and *"Yeeeaaah" he handle his role like a champion. He is the glue that keeps the franchise together without him everything would collapse.
The actor Ian Mckellen reflects all the presence of leadership in the character and only does it with posture and gestures, the costume work also enhances this aspect because it looks impeccable and dominant, as the actor does not have a physical structure as the comic in which Magneto is reflected very muscular and Mckellen is not at all, he uses his hands and look to reflect that physical power that does not have and achieves it because it is credible to the viewer.
From the very first frame, it was a strange feeling. First, the opening screensaver. Pictures from the life of a small provincial town in Texas. Everything here is the way I like it: interiors, features of social life, the fashion of that time (the action takes place in the late 70s). But ... if you look carefully, you can pay attention to various little things. Here is a beautiful fence around the flower garden, but some boards are broken.... here is a beautiful service, but there is a crack on the plate... Everything is beautiful, everything corresponds to social norms, but somewhere inside there is a problem.
Divorce Attorney Shin: A Kdrama that shines light on melodramatic divorce cases.
I'm quite impressed with the storytelling in this show. It has everything it takes to give a very serious melodramatic fact-check about marital life. However, I genuinely appreciate the addition of deadpan humour to the show. It wasn't forced in any way. You will just laugh out loud with the delivery of each of that comic relief. And, there was a whole lot of those. Hehe. You've gotta love it.
El Padre (Review & Opinion) || The Father (Review & Opinion)
It is a dramatic film directed by Florian Zeller, which presents us with a story full of excellent performances, by its protagonist Anthony, played by Anthony Hopkins, and the main actress in her role as Anne (the daughter), played by Olivia Colman, in it we can see the conflict that arises in Anne's life when she has to take care of her 80-year-old father, She struggles with the memories of her father, who does not recognize her at times, or confuses her with his caregiver, she must constantly answer her father's questions regarding her sister, who passed away years ago, and her father does not remember him, having to relive these moments of sadness repeatedly.
The mental illnesses, the addiction problems, the emotional instability, the recreational use of psychotropic substances, the negligence and little presence of conscious, full and healthy immersion of parents in the lives of their children, all that can summarize a little of all the things that are seen, but we will also see rapes, emotional manipulation, many crimes will be committed, pornography, child pornography, and it is not easy, none of that will be easy, because to a greater or lesser extent we will come to feel empathy, if they are not still breathing corpses, and if they came to live something similar to what the series represents, everything will be worse, because no matter the details that are described, in general the situation that we have lived will be the same and we can not do anything to change it, just accept it and try to be in our own skin.
Crítica a LA BELLA DURMIENTE de Walt Disney/ Review Walt Disney's SLEEPING BEAUTY.
On the narrative side, it is a fairy tale of fairies and knights with all the elements that characterize them, where good and evil are very well defined and do not mix. As for the princess who gives her name to the film, she is a passive character who does not perform relevant actions throughout the story, making the real protagonism fall on the fairies Flora, Fauna and Primavera, being these the ones who carry the weight of what happens.
Finally we have Dragon Ball GT, a story that is not considered canon since it did not have the participation of the creator of the mage. He refused to continue the story and Toei Animation released this new story, which according to Toei Animation would be long after the sequel to DGZ. The truth is that I don't dislike this story. It may have some errors with respect to the Dragon Ball franchise since the author did not work directly on this story, even its broadcast was given without a previous maga. In GT we had the saga of the search for the Dragon Sphere throughout the universe, Baby's Saga, Super Saga No. 17 and Dark Dragons Saga. One of the things that I must criticize is the drawings of the characters, some of them looked pretty bad or not as good as the ones drawn by the author. This presentation had 64 chapters and was released in 1996. This was a story that I liked and it was worth watching, although not like the original plot.
However, I think it is important to recognize that despite the fact that in its long duration it has managed to maintain quality (improving even animation and rhythm), Archer began to fall into monotony in recent years, functioning as a set of gags and conflicts that, although very well done, feel a little less refreshing every time.
I just watched this one. It's another dystopian, action (sometimes)/thriller/drama. There's just 6 episodes, so it's a good one to binge for a day or two. Black Knight is another Korean made show.. I guess Netflix knows I like to watch those. Despite not being a very big country, Korea sure do produce some great stuff! I luv me some K-pop as well..
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.
