There are at least fifty movies that have changed my life in one way or another. Few are those that have changed my life as an adult, but I can speak with great certainty of the experiences I had in my childhood and adolescence with movies I saw with my family, my father, my friends or even by myself on television. Movies like Interstellar 55555 that I remember watching at least six times because my brother had it downloaded on Ares and when he didn't have internet he watched it, or movies like A Clockwork Orange that when I was only 13 years old was being shown on TV and my dad wanted us to watch it together.
Now I'm dating someone, and one of the things I like about being together with someone is being able to show them this kind of stuff and see their reaction, because, somehow it makes me think that they are getting to know the part of me that they will never get to know, the childhood we never shared, the childhood we never played in. So, a few days ago we watched Surf up, and the truth is that I still think it is one of the best animated movies ever made. Partly it has to do because penguins are one of my favorite animals, but the whole concept of surf up is something too smart and innovative within animation, which makes the movie enjoyable for anyone who watches it.
Cody Maverick is an amazing character and the cast of characters is interesting all around. The chicken and many of the characters (including Cody) are an archetype that has been seen a lot, but that doesn't mean they are bad, but, from my perspective, quite the opposite, as they find a way to turn something that has been seen many times before. And well, it's obvious that I love the movie, but I really don't plan to extend in a surf up review because I feel that everyone has already seen it, however, I do want to say that now, with a clearer mind, I realize that it's not just a fun animated movie and that's it, but it's really a good movie with some interesting shots, a good soundtrack and a story perhaps obvious, but told in a curious way.
And what did the girl think about the movie? Well, she certainly liked it, although she didn't think it was a big deal, but that wasn't the point. In your mid twenties watching a movie about surfing penguins is no big deal, that's true, but when I was a kid and finished watching the movie and went to play the game on ps2, I felt something amazing; and I'm sure that didn't happen only with me and not only with that movie, I'm sure everyone has an anecdote or memories with movies that are βno big dealβ but still are inside you.

Hay al menos cincuenta pelΓculas que han cambiado mi vida de una u otra forma. Pocas son las que han cambiado mi vida ya de adulto, pero puedo hablar con mucha certeza de las experiencias que tuve en mi niΓ±ez y en mi adolescencia con pelΓculas que vi con mi familia, mi padre, mis amigos o incluso yo solo en la televisiΓ³n. PelΓculas como interstellar 55555 que recuerdo haberla visto al menos unas seis veces pues mi hermano la tenΓa descargada en Ares y cuando no tenΓa internet la veΓa, o pelΓculas como la naranja mecΓ‘nica que con tan solo 13 aΓ±os la estaban pasando en la televisiΓ³n y mi papΓ‘ quiso que la viΓ©ramos juntos.
Ahora estoy saliendo con alguien, y una de las cosas que me gusta de estar junto a una persona es poder mostrarle este tipo de cosas y ver su reacciΓ³n, ya que, de alguna forma me hace pensar que estΓ‘ conociendo la parte de mΓ que nunca llegarΓ‘ a conocer, la infancia que no compartimos, la niΓ±ez en la que nunca jugamos. Por eso, hace unos dΓas vimos Surf up, y la verdad es que sigo pensando que es una de las mejores pelΓculas animadas que se han hecho en la historia. En parte tiene que ver porque los pingΓΌinos son de mis animales favoritos, pero es que todo el concepto de surf up es algo demasiado inteligente e innovador dentro de la animaciΓ³n, lo que hace que la pelΓcula sea disfrutable para cualquier persona que la vea.
Cody Maverick es un personaje increΓble y la verdad es que el cast de personajes es interesante por todos lados. El pollo y muchos de los personajes (incluyendo a Cody) son un arquetipo que se ha visto mucho, pero eso no significa que sean malos, sino, desde mi perspectiva, todo lo contrario, ya que encuentran como darle la vuelta a algo que se ha visto muchas veces. Y bueno, es obvio que la pelΓcula me encanta, pero la verdad no pienso extenderme en una crΓtica de surf up porque siento que ya todos la han visto, sin embargo, si quiero decir que ahora, con la mente mΓ‘s clara, me doy cuenta de que no es solo una pelΓcula de animaciΓ³n divertida y ya, sino que es realmente una buena pelΓcula con unas tomas interesantes, un buen soundtrack y una historia tal vez obvia, pero contada de forma curiosa.
ΒΏY quΓ© pensΓ³ la chica sobre la pelΓcula? Pues ciertamente le gustΓ³, aunque no le pareciΓ³ la gran cosa, pero ese no era el punto. A mediados de tus veintes ver una pelΓcula sobre pingΓΌinos que surfean no es la gran cosa, eso es cierto, pero cuando era un niΓ±o y terminaba de ver la pelΓcula para ir a jugar su juego en ps2, yo sentΓa algo increΓble; y estoy seguro de que eso no pasΓ³ solo conmigo y no solamente con esa pelΓcula, estoy seguro de que todos tienen una anΓ©cdota o recuerdos con pelΓculas que βno son la gran cosaβ pero aun asΓ estΓ‘n dentro de ti.
