Hello, friends! We continue with horror movies this October. Today, I bring you a review of a film that surprised me quite a bit with its presentation of events and captivating plot. I'm talking about Weapons.
Trama - Plot
La historia gira en torno a unos ni帽os de una escuela que desaparecieron todos la misma noche a la misma hora, menos uno de ellos. Esa ma帽ana fue el 煤nico que se present贸 a clases conmocionando a todos. Nadie sabe qu茅 pas贸 con los otros ni帽os, la comunidad est谩 muy conmovida por lo sucedido, la 煤nica pista son algunas c谩maras que captaron a los ni帽os corriendo solos hacia la oscuridad de la noche. La sospechosa principal, seg煤n los padres, es la maestra que es acusada de haber hecho brujer铆a con ellos. Mientras tanto, no est谩n poniendo el foco en donde deber铆an y cuando lo hagan quiz谩 sea tarde para despertar.
The story revolves around a group of schoolchildren who all disappeared on the same night at the same time, except for one of them. That morning, he was the only one who showed up for class, shocking everyone. No one knows what happened to the other children, and the community is deeply affected by the incident. The only clue is some camera footage showing the children running alone into the darkness of the night. According to the parents, the main suspect is the teacher, who is accused of having cast a spell on them. Meanwhile, they are not focusing their attention where they should, and by the time they do, it may be too late to wake up.
Rese帽a - Review
Una pel铆cula bastante peculiar, est谩 dividida en varios puntos de vista de diversos personajes que aparecen en la historia que nos har谩n conocer y llegar al fondo del asunto. Me gust贸 esta manera de contar la trama, la hizo interesante y ayud贸 a entender mejor a cada personaje que fue parte de la trama. Tambi茅n me encant贸 la manera de relatar los hechos al comienzo con la voz en off de un ni帽o contando lo que hab铆a sucedido hasta ese momento y lo mismo al final.
A rather peculiar film, it is divided into several points of view from different characters who appear in the story, allowing us to get to know them and get to the bottom of the matter. I liked this way of telling the story; it made it interesting and helped me to better understand each character that was part of the plot. I also loved the way the events were recounted at the beginning with the voice-over of a child telling what had happened up to that point, and the same at the end.
Me pareci贸 una pel铆cula entretenida y misteriosa, con bastante suspenso por momentos m谩s que escenas de terror, pero este apareci贸 en algunas partes. Quiz谩 me pareci贸 un tanto rebuscado el asunto, aunque me gust贸 que se tratara de una pel铆cula que trate sobre la brujer铆a. No es muy profunda, ni tiene mucha explicaci贸n. No van a encontrar una obra maestra ac谩, pero se deja ver y est谩 buena. A m铆 me gust贸 mucho, me mantuvo enganchada intentando descifrar c贸mo iba a terminar todo porque parec铆a no tener mucha soluci贸n.
I found it to be an entertaining and mysterious film, with more suspense than horror scenes, although there were some scary moments. Perhaps I found the plot a bit far-fetched, although I liked that it was a film about witchcraft. It's not very deep, nor does it offer much explanation. You won't find a masterpiece here, but it's watchable and enjoyable. I liked it a lot; it kept me hooked, trying to figure out how it was all going to end because it didn't seem to have much of a solution.
Tampoco entend铆 ciertas actitudes de padres de algunos ni帽os y la comunidad en s铆, es un lugar peque帽o en el que desaparecieron 17 ni帽os, o sea, hay 17 familias que perdieron un hijo o una hija y no se vio esa desesperaci贸n por encontrarlos, quiero decir, entiendo que no es una pel铆cula dram谩tica, pero me hubiera gustado que fuera m谩s real en ese sentido. Es m谩s, hab铆a un hombre, un 煤nico padre que fue al que se lo vio m谩s vulnerable, intentando investigar por sus propios medios y se lo ve铆a muy afligido por la desaparecieron de su hijo. Incluso dorm铆a todas las noches en el cuarto del ni帽o y en una ocasi贸n fue juzgado por su esposa, o no se qu茅 es lo que era, de que se la pasaba deprimido. Y s铆, desapareci贸 su hijo y no sabe nada, me parece que tiene todo el derecho de estar mal y no poder superar el tema. Esas cosas no me gustaron para nada la verdad. No se sinti贸 muy realista o es como si estuvieran faltos de alma. Pero bueno.
I also didn't understand certain attitudes of some of the children's parents and the community itself. It's a small place where 17 children disappeared, meaning there are 17 families who lost a son or daughter, and you didn't see that desperation to find them. I mean, I understand that it's not a dramatic film, but I would have liked it to be more realistic in that sense. What's more, there was one man, a single father, who seemed the most vulnerable, trying to investigate on his own and looking very distressed by his son's disappearance. He even slept in his son's room every night and on one occasion was judged by his wife, or I don't know what it was, for being depressed all the time. And yes, his son disappeared and he knows nothing, I think he has every right to feel bad and not be able to get over it. I didn't like those things at all, to be honest. It didn't feel very realistic, or it's as if they were soulless. But anyway.
Creo que tuvo un final acorde y eso me gust贸, no fue esperanzador, pero tampoco tan pesimista, tuvo la cuota justa de lo que dej贸 la historia. Aunque creo que tampoco se entendi贸 muy bien lo que pas贸 y uno pensar铆a que como el mal ya estaba desterrado, por decirlo de alguna manera, las cosas iban a volver a la normalidad, pero parece que estaba equivocada. Igual me gust贸, una historia de terror no tiene porque tener un final totalmente feliz. Pero me hubiera gustado tener una mejor explicaci贸n acerca de c贸mo funcionaba la magia o de d贸nde sali贸 la bruja y por qu茅 el ni帽o fue capaz de manipularla haciendo lo mismo que le vio hacer a ella. Me dej贸 pensando mucho en esto.
I think it had a fitting ending, and I liked that. It wasn't hopeful, but it wasn't overly pessimistic either; it had just the right amount of what the story left behind. Although I don't think it was very clear what happened, and one would think that since evil had been banished, so to speak, things would return to normal, but it seems I was wrong. Still, I liked it. A horror story doesn't have to have a totally happy ending. But I would have liked a better explanation of how the magic worked, where the witch came from, and why the boy was able to manipulate her by doing the same thing he saw her do. It left me thinking about it a lot.
Como les dije, no es un mal film, al contrario. Sin embargo, si nos ponemos a analizarlo hay cosas que no se logran entender. Igual es una pel铆cula ideal para ver en estas fechas y dejarse seducir un poco por la magia negra ah. Est谩 m谩s que recomendada por mi parte.
As I said, it's not a bad film, quite the contrary. However, if we analyze it, there are things that are difficult to understand. Still, it's an ideal film to watch at this time of year and let yourself be seduced a little by black magic. I highly recommend it.
Bueno amigos, hasta ac谩 mi opini贸n acerca de esta pel铆cula. Espero que les haya gustado y los animo a verla si les llama la atenci贸n. Si ya la vieron me encantar铆a saber qu茅 les pareci贸.
