(ENG/SPA) THE WHALE... and The Sad Girl
Sincerity is one of the greatest feelings and values that human beings have, the film The Whale I think leaves a great reflection in this regard in which I consider that being sincere is good but not everyone is prepared or mature enough to listen to the sincerity of people, that's where the big brother of sincerity called hypocrisy comes into the picture to protect his little sister and fragile because in his words there is no intention to harm.... there is only sincerity.
The Whale is a recently added film on Netflix, I saw several reviews that named its protagonist that yes, she is powerful in her performance and can create connection with many people because of her physical condition but in the film there is much more than a whale, there is also a girl that is where the real message of the film is and that can reach young people in the audience who see punished their way of being, their sincerity, when in reality they are not bad because they are wonderful young people.
La Sinceridad es uno de los mayores sentimientos y valores que tiene el ser humano, el film The Whale pienso deja una gran reflexión al respecto en la cual considero que ser sincero es bueno pero no todo el mundo esta preparado o es lo suficientemente maduro para escuchar la sinceridad de las personas, es allí donde entra en escena el hermano mayor de la sinceridad llamado hipocresía para proteger a su hermanita pequeña y frágil ya que en sus palabras no hay intención de dañar.... solo hay sinceridad.
The Whale es un film recientemente añadido en Netflix, vi variadas reseñas que nombraban a su protagonista que sí, es potente en su actuación y puede crear conexión con muchas personas por su condición física pero en la película hay mucho mas que una ballena, también hay una niña que es donde esta el verdadero mensaje del film y que puede llegar a jóvenes en la audiencia que ven castigada su forma de ser, su sinceridad cuando en realidad no son malos porque son jóvenes maravillosos.
I am glad Brendan Fraser is retaking roles of power and impact in the cinema, I do not like his eyes because he seems to be always sad in an exaggerated way, this is a personal observation but the rest of the performance is impeccable, if I perceive his suffering, his way of punishing himself for the mistakes he made, which were many.
- I was impacted by the protagonist's diagnosis
It is not only the visual of the character that is already striking and is precisely what sells more of the film, the level of obesity that reaches the character limits him to live but beyond that were the moments when we see the numbers in which he is, values of vital signs that I never thought were real, I mention this first because it is the most vivid feeling and that I could not believe.
I am chubby and I love to eat hamburgers until recent months I ate too many french fries and if I noticed a disturbance in my heartbeat, that made me now take more care of myself and that's why seeing that level of values in vital signs of the protagonist left me thinking even more about taking care of myself, avoid reaching a border from which I can not return, just in the trailer you can see the pitiful condition in which the protagonist is.
People have freedoms, they can make decisions but the case of this film is a whole debate because we see family members, friends who have bad habits in which they reach the edge of self-destruction in which they are basically killing themselves in things that can be avoided or at least controlled and we do nothing because it is their freedom, for example, eating daily until they burst metaphorically speaking, are things that leave you thinking.
Me alegra Brendan Fraser este retomando roles de poder e impacto en el cine, no me agradan sus ojos porque pareciera estar siempre triste de manera exagerada, esta es una observación personal pero el resto del performance es impecable, si percibo su sufrimiento, llega a mi su forma de auto castigarse por los errores que cometió que vaya fueron muchos.
- Me impacto El Diagnóstico del protagonista
No es solo la visual del personaje que ya de por si ese elemento es llamativo y es precisamente lo que vende más de la película, el nivel de obesidad que alcanza el personaje lo limita de poder vivir pero mas allá de eso fueron los momentos en que vemos los números en los que se encuentra, valores de signos vitales que nunca pensé fueran reales, nombro esto de primero porque es la sensación mas viva y que no me podía creer.
Yo soy gordito y me encanta comer hamburguesas hasta que meses recientes comí demasiadas papas fritas y si note una perturbación en mis latidos, eso hizo que ahora me cuide mas y por eso ver ese nivel de valores en signos vitales del protagonista me dejo pensando aun más en cuidarme, evitar el llegar a una frontera de la cual no pueda regresar, justo en el trailer pueden ver la condición lamentable en la que se encuentra el protagonista.
La gente tiene libertades, puede tomar decisiones pero el caso de este film es todo un debate porque vemos familiares, amigos que tiene malos hábitos en los cuales se llega al borde de la autodestrucción en el que básicamente se están matando a si mismos en cosas que se pueden evitar o al menos controlar y no hacemos nada porque es su libertad por ejemplo comer diariamente hasta reventar metafóricamente hablando, son cosas que dejan pensando.
- A narrative with elements of inclusion that I did not perceive as forced
It is a film that evidently has the things of inclusion of the current times, I think the problem is not that these elements are if not the way they are presented according to what is told and if they are really necessary, in this case I see it in resonance with the story you want to tell, that is, it manages to convey the message to the audience in a satisfactory way and I applaud that especially for the religious element it contains.
If there is something that generates much sadness in the world is the religions that deviate due to the people who lead these doctrines and the acceptance by the masses of eternal punishment if they commit things that are not according to the scriptures or rather the way of thinking of the leaders of these forms of belief, the problem is that these religions fall into volatile dementia and instead of giving happiness, generate conflicts between people.
I totally agree with the message that the film leaves, that is why I totally recommend it because it is a strong message to those who are religious fanatics who fall into the absurdity of their ideas that mistreat innocent people unnecessarily for wrong beliefs.
- Una Narrativa con elementos de inclusión que no percibí forzada
Es un film que evidentemente tiene las cosas de inclusión de los tiempos actuales, pienso que el problema no es que esos elementos estén si no el modo en que se presentan acorde a lo que se cuenta y si son de verdad necesarios, en este caso lo veo en resonancia con la historia que se quiere contar, es decir, logra transmitir el mensaje a la audiencia de manera satisfactoria y eso lo aplaudo sobre todo por el elemento religioso que contiene.
Si hay algo que genera mucha tristeza en el mundo es Las Religiones que se desvían debido a las personas que lideran esas doctrinas y la aceptación por parte de las masas de un castigo eterno si cometen cosas que no están acorde a las escrituras o mejor dicho modo de pensar de los líderes de esas formas de creencia, el problema esta que esas religiones caen en demencia volátil y en vez de dar felicidad, generan conflictos entre las personas.
Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con el mensaje que deja el film, por eso lo recomiendo totalmente porque es un mensaje contundente a los que son fanáticos religiosos que caen en el absurdo de sus ideas que maltratan a personas inocentes innecesariamente por creencias equivocadas.
- The Sad Girl wounded by Moby-Dick
Many think that love is a good feeling but it is not at all, it has an unbridled way of acting that blinds people and makes them take like a locomotive ahead of the rest of people in order to be with that person they love, They become absolute Moby-Dick that in their uncontrolled emotions generate negative obsessions, this is the part that I do not agree with the concept of love and that I see very well represented in the film and inspired by that white whale, it's okay to be in love but not to be stupid, selfish and obsessive.
Much attention with the character of the sad girl that is where the greatest reflection of the film and why I recommend it for young people because in that stage of typical excuse which everyone calls rebellion there is something that can be drowning these young people, in the case of the film sees that these young people are wonderful, there are good people there and is a message in the film which I want to echo by recommending it, they are not bad, just suffer in the case of the film the consequences of the bad actions of their parents.
A film that I totally recommend, its end if it made me perceive emotions and sadness for the characters along with that great message of the white whale, I give it a 9 because the end I repeated it several times to understand that whale and even more that sad girl who is wonderful.
- La Niña Triste herida por Moby-Dick
Muchos piensan que el amor es un sentimiento bueno pero para nada lo es, tiene un modo de actuar desenfrenado que ciega a las personas y hace que se lleven como una locomotora por delante al resto de personas con tal de lograr estar con esa persona que aman, se vuelven absolutos Moby-Dick que en sus emociones descontroladas generan obsesiones negativas, esta es la parte que no estoy de acuerdo con el concepto amor y que veo muy bien representada en el film e inspirada en esa ballena blanca, esta bien estar enamorados pero no ser estúpidos, egoístas y obsesivos.
Mucha atención con el personaje de La Niña triste que es donde esta la mayor reflexión del film y por el cual lo recomiendo para jóvenes porque en esa etapa de típica excusa la cual todos llaman rebeldía hay algo que puede estar ahogando a esos jóvenes, en el caso del film ve que esos jóvenes son maravillosos, hay buenas personas allí y es un mensaje en la película del cual quiero hacer eco al recomendarla, no son malos, solo sufren en el caso de la película las consecuencias del mal actuar de sus padres.
Un film que recomiendo totalmente, su final si me hizo percibir emociones y tristeza por los personajes junto a ese gran mensaje de la ballena blanca, le doy un 9 porque el final lo repetí varias veces para entender a esa Ballena y mas aún a esa niña triste que es maravillosa.

I apologize, but I didn't finish reading this review cause just going halfway through it, I'm pressed to see the actual film. And I would want to explore the emotions in the film which reading through might alter for me.
I can see there are important lessons to learn and I look forward to that.
Thank you so much for sharing this.
Hope you're doing okay? I mean, you mentioned the issue with your heartbeat.
you do the right thing haha, is that just the cover of the film or the poster already sells, brenda fraser acts powerful and let's be happy for him and his return to fame 😃.
I'm super good, improved eating and all those super weird events are gone and I'm doing great, amazing what potato chips can do if you eat them daily haha 😅
Aunque aparte de esta y Mother! no he profundizado en la filmografía de Darren Aronofsky es fácil entender por qué suele ser visto como uno de los cineastas más interesantes de las últimas décadas, aunque su estilo sea particularmente "depresivo".
The Whale me gustó muchísimo, y aunque la mayor parte del mérito se lo llevó el performance de Brendan Fraser hay mucho que descartar más allá de eso, está bien dirigida y su guión es muy profundo.
It is powerful what I saw in the film especially at the end where it becomes visually metaphorical, the girl I loved because it was very emotional that part, has its things to discuss The Whale but the emotions along with the depressing and depressive touch the director does his job and that is to applaud 😃
