CUATRO DÍAS MÁS| Review [ESP-ENG] 🎥

Cuatro días más es un film estrenado en el 2020, el director Rodrigo García, reconocido por series televisivas destacadas como Soprano o Carnivale, decide adaptar un hecho de la vida real a la gran pantalla. Es la historia de Molly una joven adicta que lleva varios intentos de recuperación por consumir opioides; resulta que, aparece una nueva alternativa, pero debe cumplir 4 días limpios. En el reto se le suma su madre Deb, quien junto a ella debe confiar en la relación madre e hija para estar en condiciones de recibir el tratamiento. Como observan es un tópico abordado en otros proyectos; no obstante, aquí la relación de madre e hija crea un estallido de incertidumbre y agotamiento que te llevan a pensar en el sufrimiento familiar y lo que concierne el bienestar de todos para estar en armonía como grupo que convive con el adicto.

Films that flirt with the Spectator allow us to validate what we observe as interesting. Sharing a story, regardless of the existence of similar stories, will depend on distancing oneself from other existing films; it is a matter of highlighting the idea from another point of view. When I saw Four Good Days, a plot similar to many stories told, there was an immediate deduction in the thread of the plot; however, from it, I rescued the following: family and self-love, which are important aspects of the message. It is a low-profile film, I suppose, because of the conventional way of carrying the content and the weakness of having a basic ending. There is something I must emphasize: doubt will always be present in the film, which is a powerful premise in the filming.

Four Good Days is a film released in 2020. The director, Rodrigo Garcia, recognized for outstanding television series such as Soprano or Carnivale, decides to adapt a real-life event to the big screen. It is the story of Molly, a young addict who has been trying to recover from opioid use several times. It turns out that a new alternative appears, but she must complete 4 clean days. She is joined in the challenge by her mother, Deb, who, together with her, must rely on the mother-daughter relationship to be able to receive the treatment. As you can see, this is a topic addressed in other projects; however, here the mother-daughter relationship creates a burst of uncertainty and exhaustion that leads you to think about the family suffering and what concerns the welfare of all to be in harmony as a group living with the addict.

El guion es una ruta sencilla que se enfoca en dos personajes fundamentales que buscan orquestar estabilidad. Dibujan los rasgos típicos del familiar traicionado y del adicto que busca cubrir un pensamiento mitómano. Las imágenes son escenas simples de grabación, son cambios sutiles de los personajes en primer plano que desarrollan el drama, situación evidente en las imágenes del inicio, donde los pies simbolizan el sostén de la felicidad y la tristeza que te guían hacia el llamado de la vida. Por otra parte, el vestuario y la escenografía representan el tiempo y la realidad de una madre que sostiene un techo en una zona tranquila.

La música es nostálgica, resalta el nivel de sensibilidad de Molly y los altibajos emotivos y sentimentales que siente al recordar o discutir con su madre, los cuales son signos de las personas adictas al expresar el sentir. Los diálogos llevan la narrativa bien organizada del tema, están cargados de significados, es decir, duda, preocupación, ansiedad, reproche, negligencia, irresponsabilidad, miedo y oportunidad. Todas las sensaciones serán atendidas por el amor "fracturado entre madre e hija". La película no tiene algo innovador, como mencioné en otras líneas, conocer el posible desenlace y el fin no me disgustó porque el drama de madre e hija se tejió en una red angustiosa.

The script is a straightforward journey that focuses on two pivotal characters seeking to orchestrate stability. They resort to the typical traits of the betrayed family member and the addict seeking to cover up a lying thought. The images are simple filming scenes with subtle changes of the characters in the foreground that develop the drama, a situation evident in the images at the beginning, where the feet symbolize the support of joy and sadness that guide you towards the call of life. On the other hand, the costumes and set design represent the time and reality of a mother holding a roof over her head in a quiet area.

The music is nostalgic, highlighting Molly's level of sensitivity and the emotional and sentimental ups and downs she feels when remembering or arguing with her mother, which are signs of people addicted to expressing feelings. The dialogues carry the well-organized narrative of the theme; they are loaded with meanings, i.e., doubt, worry, anxiety, reproach, negligence, irresponsibility, fear and opportunity. All the sensations will be attended by the "fractured love between mother and daughter". The film does not have something innovative, as I mentioned in other lines. Knowing the possible outcome and the end did not displease me because the drama of mother and daughter was woven into a distressing web.
