There was a time when Hollywood worked under the so-called star system. On broad terms, the industry would elevate some actors and actresses to Olympian levels, creating a Midas-like aura around them and everything they touched. This would fuel the dream-like, subtle qualities around their objects, assuring that their only presence in a movie would… Continue reading The Fall Guy

You Can’t Take It With You
In general terms, since last year I barely have forces to concentrate myself in watching a movie for 2 hours without getting sleepy. Who would had thought about it! Since I certainly missed the feeling I always had after watching a good film, I kind of forced myself to return and asked my father about… Continue reading You Can’t Take It With You
Ahsoka
A spoiler-free, reflective and very simplistic post I spent way more time than the amount I’d ideally desired to thinking on how to write this text. Ordering my thoughts is difficult, especially after during recovery of my anxiety. So, eventually I decided to keep my usual creative writing style out and express myself like when… Continue reading Ahsoka
Barbenheimer
I have wanted to write this text for an extended amount of time. Ever since I first saw the teasers that showed the conception of the two movies that concern us this time I have been possessed by some kind of infantile enchantment. It had some air of mythical.

A deed anywhere, anytime,… Continue reading Everything Everywhere All At Once
A Ghost Story

The image of a ghost represented by an entity covered by a long drape of white cloth hanging from its “head” is traditionally infantile, and seeing it incarnated in a… Continue reading A Ghost Story
The Batman
USA, 2022 Thriller Mainstream Trailer The discussion about the meaning of the term icon is analogue to the meaning of a classic. Both terms are intimately related, denotating eternal qualities that keep inspiring humans regardless of their lifetime, and therefore have carved themselves a well-deserved position in our intangible wall of fame of humanity. However,… Continue reading The Batman
