La cinta fue dirigida por Yorgos Lanthimos, el mismo que se dio a conocer internacionalmente con el 茅xito Canino en 2009, considerado como un autor que logra combinar de una manera org谩nica y profunda los elementos surrealistas con el humor negro para construir una visi贸n de mundo muy particular. El fime crece en un mundo steampunk lleno de inventos extra帽os y personajes exc茅ntricos. Poor Things nos cuenta la historia de una criatura renacida que busca su lugar en el mundo, a trav茅s de una trama que combina elementos de ciencia ficci贸n, romance g贸tico y comedia negra, explorando temas como la identidad, la libertad y los l铆mites de la ciencia. Cuenta como un brillante pero perturbado cient铆fico resucita a una mujer ahogada que se suicida, reemplazando su cerebro por el de un beb茅 que yac铆a en su vientre y decide llamarla Bella. Esta audaz intervenci贸n m茅dica convierte a la mujer en un ser h铆brido con la mente en blanco e inocencia de un ser reci茅n llegado al mundo y la figura de una mujer adulta y madura que se enfrenta a desaf铆os sociales y particulares como individuo durante la trama. Puede parecernos complicado cuando alguien nos invita a ver este tipo de cine, sin embargo nos plantea sin dudas interrogantes 茅ticas y filos贸ficas sobre la identidad, la humanidad y el significado de la vida.
The film was directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, the same one who became internationally known with the success Canino in 2009, considered as an author who manages to combine surrealist elements with black humor in an organic and profound way to build a very vision of the world. particular. The film grows in a steampunk world full of strange inventions and eccentric characters. Poor Things tells the story of a reborn creature searching for its place in the world, through a plot that combines elements of science fiction, gothic romance and black comedy, exploring themes such as identity, freedom and the limits of science. . It tells how a brilliant but disturbed scientist resurrects a drowned woman who commits suicide, replacing her brain with that of a baby lying in her womb and decides to name her Bella. This bold medical intervention turns the woman into a hybrid being with the blank mind and innocence of a being newly arrived in the world and the figure of an adult and mature woman who faces social and particular challenges as an individual during the plot. It may seem complicated when someone invites us to see this type of film, however it undoubtedly raises ethical and philosophical questions about identity, humanity and the meaning of life.
PERSONAJES- CHARACTERS
Bella (protagonista-protagonist)
La pel铆cula nos muestra los diferentes estad铆os de vida de la protagonista, primera infancia, infancia, adolescencia, juventud y adultez y nos ofrece una oportunidad 煤nica para reflexionar sobre la formaci贸n de la personalidad y el desarrollo individual. Se pueden observar comportamientos como la exploraci贸n del mundo con asombro y curiosidad, la voracidad por aprender y experimentar, a trav茅s de la lectura de libros, la asistencia a eventos sociales y la b煤squeda de nuevas sensaciones. La protagonista vive aislada de los prejuicios sociales como lienzo en blanco, no posee en su comportamiento las inhibiciones que una persona criada en sociedad, por lo tanto puede ser considerado inapropiado, lo cual me pareci贸 interesante, pues no es frecuente que el ser humano viva sin malicia, sin filtros y sin sentido com煤n.
The film shows us the different stages of the protagonist's life, early childhood, childhood, adolescence, youth and adulthood and offers us a unique opportunity to reflect on the formation of personality and individual development. Behaviors can be observed such as exploring the world with wonder and curiosity, the voracity to learn and experiment, through reading books, attending social events and searching for new sensations. The protagonist lives isolated from social prejudices as a blank canvas, she does not have the inhibitions in her behavior that a person raised in society, therefore it can be considered inappropriate, which I found interesting, since it is not common for human beings to live without malice, without filters and without common sense.
Dr. Archibald McCandless, interpretado por el actor Willem Dafoe personaje enigm谩tico y ambicioso, no es mas que el cient铆fico brillante pero exc茅ntrico que lleva a cabo el experimento de revivir a Bella.

EST脡TICA Y FOTOGRAF脥A-AESTHETICS AND PHOTOGRAPHY
La pel铆cula tiene una est茅tica g贸tica, steampunk y surrealisTA, con una fotograf铆a y un dise帽o de producci贸n impresionantes para crear una atm贸sfera 煤nica y cautivadora.Realmente esta es una de las cuestiones fundamentales de la experiencia cinematogr谩fica. La pel铆cula utiliza una paleta de colores predominantemente fr铆a y oscura, con tonos de azul, gris y verde, lo cual contribuye a crear una atm贸sfera misteriosa y melanc贸lica, sin embargo a menudo se utiliza una iluminaci贸n dram谩tica para resaltar los rostros de los personajes y crear una sensaci贸n de tensi贸n. Los sets y decorados fueron elaborados y detallados, con una est茅tica que combina elementos victorianos con toques futuristas, fundamentales para crear el mundo imaginario de la pel铆cula y el vestuario extravagante y llamativo de la protagonista, que evoluciona a lo largo de el filme reflejan el crecimiento personal de la misma.Los tiros de c谩mara son inusuales, utilizando 谩ngulos que dan sensaci贸n de desorientaci贸n, sin embargo la mayor parte de el tiempo se enfoca en los rostros y movimientos de los personajes capturando emociones y reacciones. Realmente fue una experiencia maravillosa que am茅, es lo mas cautivador de la cinta la verdad.
The film has gothic and steampunk aesthetics and surrealism, with stunning cinematography and production design to create a unique and captivating atmosphere, it really is one of the fundamental issues of the cinematic experience. The film uses a predominantly cold and dark color palette, with shades of blue, gray and green, which contributes to creating a mysterious and melancholic atmosphere, however dramatic lighting is often used to highlight the characters' faces and create a feeling of tension. The sets and decorations were elaborate and detailed, with an aesthetic that combines Victorian elements with futuristic touches, fundamental to create the imaginary world of the film and the extravagant and striking wardrobe of the protagonist, which evolves throughout the film, reflects the growth The camera shots are unusual, using angles that give a feeling of disorientation, however most of the time it focuses on the faces and movements of the characters, capturing emotions and reactions.

DESAF脥OS PARA EL ESPECTADOR-CHALLENGES FOR THE SPECTATOR
El mayor desaf铆o para el espectador est谩 en la trama, pues es compleja y repleta de im谩genes y s铆mbolos que requieren una interpretaci贸n profunda, lo que puede dificultar su comprensi贸n frente a momentos de gran intensidad y otros m谩s lentos y reflexivos que pueden generar una sensaci贸n de desconexi贸n y dificultar adentrarse en la historia. La profundidad psicol贸gica de los personajes es otro punto d茅bil, aunque depende del espectador, hay personajes demasiado ambiguos o contradictorios, con los cuales el espectador, al intentar comprenderlos, puede sentirse frustrado, incluso dificult谩ndose la conexi贸n emocional con los personajes por la falta de claridad del gui贸n. Incluso la trata de temas como el sexo, los desnudos y el surrealismo que en esta cinta se exponen podr铆an ser un obst谩culo, pues Bella al no tener prejuicios, trata estos temas con la mayor desfachatez y naturalidad posible, aunque a mi me parecen aspectos esenciales para comprender la evoluci贸n del personaje y su personalidad, para otras personas en lugar de servir a un prop贸sito narrativo, podr铆a generar rechazo al filme.
The biggest challenge for the viewer is in the plot, as it is complex, full of images and symbols that require a deep interpretation, which can make it difficult to understand in the face of moments of great intensity and other slower and more reflective ones that can generate a feeling of disconnection and make it difficult to delve into the story. The psychological depth of the characters is another weak point, although it depends on the viewer, there are characters that are too ambiguous or contradictory, with which the viewer, when trying to understand them, may feel frustrated, even making the emotional connection with the characters difficult due to the lack of clarity. of the script. Even the treatment of topics such as sex, nudes and surrealism that are exposed in this film could be an obstacle, since Bella, having no prejudices, treats these topics with the greatest audacity and naturalness possible, although they seem to me to be essential aspects. to understand the evolution of the character and his personality, for other people instead of serving a narrative purpose, it could generate rejection of the film.
Realmente ha sido una experiencia cinematogr谩fica que me ha dejado sin aliento, despu茅s que los cr茅ditos rodaron segu铆 pensando y pensando, incluso creo que deber铆a repetirla. Nunca hab铆a visto nada igual! Es sin dudas una obra maestra de la originalidad, que desaf铆a las convenciones y nos invita a explorar los l铆mites de la imaginaci贸n. Espero que hayan disfrutado este post tanto como yo el filmey dem谩s est谩 agradecerles el tiempo tomado para leer. Nos vemos pronto con m谩s del maravilloso mundo del cine.
