Considering that in this film, it manages to articulate emotion and tension in a much more palpable way than in Dunkirk, but without the corny factor like in the third act of Interstellar, in addition to being clearly much less prepotent in its proposal than was previously the case in Tenet . While once the director's most outrageous inspirations were the operatic cameras that led to a frivolous atmosphere, in an incessant search for perfectionism like Kubrick, in his 12th feature film, new horizons are glimpsed, leaving cheap imitation and achieving a reformulation of a aesthetics, based on refining techniques. You get a mix of analysis of historical events and cine court, like those made by Oliver Stone in the 80s/90s and Spielberg specifically in that century, just like a second perspective, focusing on the tormented mind of the scientist, where contemplative daydreams escape into the universe and its atoms in an abstract way, following in the footsteps of Terrence Malick. Telling a modern tale of the American Prometheus, we see the pursuit of the man who "stole fire" and gave it to men, losing control of his creation, condemned by the Gods of the FBI. Left-wing trade unionist and not affiliated with a party: these characteristics implied a moral dilemma superior to the scientific one, whether or not to share information with allied countries, perhaps enemies; something notable through Cillian Murphy's impeccable interpretation of this ambiguous and mysterious being, who says little, but conveys a lot with his eyes. Avoiding the Self Made Man Nuclear narrative, the laurels are given to the collaborative work, not rewarding at the time, nor subsequently condemning third parties for the consequences involved in the creation of this bomb. It becomes even clearer that this selfish martyr's punishment is fame, even if it precedes him negatively, as he will be eternally notorious as the father of the attacks on Hiroshima & Nagasaki. The soundtrack marks a melancholy that hangs in the air and sediments a premonitory remorse, while silence overlays the moments of action characteristic of the author's career, showing horror only through the power of suggestion and not through the exposure of the chaos generated among the Japanese people. Without glorifying the tragedy or romanticizing war violence, in a complicated denunciation of American Imperialism in parallel to German Nazism, we find two sides of the same fascist mechanism, obtaining a magnifying glass that exposes a series of hypocrisies, betrayals and inconsistencies present in the American past, rooted in in the country to the point of poisoning the nation's culture and becoming a tradition of oppression, in a perpetual state of war (far from its soil).

Five Nights at Freddy's
(2023)
(NO SPOILERS)

Review of Emma Tammi's film based on Scott Cawthon's game
Five Nights at Freddy's is a perfectly commercial film. I don't care about the game or the fidelity of the original story, but the film adaptation doesn't make a point of being good, much less being good in the horror genre. Blumhouse has reached the height of mediocrity, achieved thanks to the Hollywood formula for selling films more easily. Formula that makes me reflect on the future of art, and when it will stop being what it is and become a product. But going back to the film based on Scott Cawthon's game: it was barely saved, in short thanks to fanservice, because when you remove the fanservice from that, all that's left is the formula, which consists of supposedly primary horror, which mostly gives way to action and /or the comedy, and last but not least, the stuffing of references and fanservice, which are enough for fans who already had low expectations. In short, Five Nights at Freddy's - The Neverending Nightmare is a film - nothing more and nothing less than - mediocre, which deserves a 6/10 due to the pleasures made to the fanbase during the film in the way that birds eat until they are full your belly - in little pieces. I conclude that the film is more afraid of the viewer than the spectator should be of the film, as it wastes the potential that a universe as rich as FNAF could offer to the big screen in a more worthy adaptation.

It is a surprising film
21 December 2023
Which brings together an exceptional cast, each actor with intense performances, combined with the incredible representation of the extraphysical dimension and the condition of the disembodied in the post-mortem, with strong scenes that impress with the veracity of the facts, according to some clairvoyant mediums.
The excitement resulting from this work sparks future films that explore these themes with equal competence. Congratulations Wagner Assis!!!!
We hope that the film industry continues to provide us with productions that combine careful casting, profound interpretations and special effects capable of leading us to mysteries beyond life.

"The Punisher in the Shadow: Denzel Washington shines and surprises in 'A New Side of Robert McCall'"
23 November 2023
Denzel Washington did very well in the role, at almost 70 years old he manages to convey the character's dark air on screen despite being a good vigilante.
Bad guys and good guys don't know whether to tremble more with fear or respect. To our surprise, the story presents us with a new side of Robert McCall when he enters a church for the first time to talk to God.
This is a real plot twist and, at the same time, a curious question, the character still believes in God.
One of the best films of the year!
The film is rated 8 stars because it is lower than the first film and higher than the second... that being said, I can say that among all the partnerships between the director and Denzel Washington, this is the duo's second best film (it is second only to Training Day for obvious reasons). This film is more contemplative so the slowness of the action didn't bother me. The meeting between Denzel and Dakota Fanning, although nostalgic, was not the meeting that would revolutionize cinema, but it works within the proposal, although the reason for him helping her seems a little out of place since I don't remember her being mentioned in the previous films... that being said, the Protector 3 works as a great swan song for Denzel Washington and Antoine Fuqua...
Supporting cast: rating 9 Direction: 10 Script: 8 Photography: 10 Protagonist: 10.
