Love, Death & Robots: Jibaro (2022)
This episode made me physically uncomfortable
I couldn't even finish watching this. I watched it for maybe 5 minutes before I had to turn it off. This episode made me so uncomfortable, like physically uncomfortable.. it made me nauseous and gave me a headache.
Anyhow I give it two stars because the idea is there and the design was very nice, just the execution was absolutely awful. It's a shame I never get to know the full story of this episode. Horrible director. The disorganization of the imagery, the sound, everything.. absolutely awful. I felt like I had to endure torture watching this...
Sorry I can't comment on the story because I never finished the episode. I believe the story is actually quite interesting, no doubt, I like the other episodes of love, death an robots. But yeah, this episode made me physically uncomfortable and I felt like I needed to mention that because I cannot believe this episode got such a high rating. The directing is awful, couldn't finish it.
La sociedad de la nieve (2023)
More about the events than the people
Let me start off by saying that this is a really well made movie. I don't know which parts were cgi and which weren't because it wasn't very noticeable. It was just really well done. I've read the book 'Alive' not too long ago and I visited the museum in Montevideo, so I am very familiar with the story already. This movie was a nice addition. It really shows the harsh conditions that the victims had to face after the crash.
However, I think that 2,5 hours is just not enough to do justice to the story. There were a lot of things that I was missing in this movie, for instance, we didn't really get to know the people. There were a lot of quotes that I loved that were left out, and also some events were brushed over too quickly or just left out alltogether. But at the same time, the events that were shown were essential to the story. So honestly I think this story just needs to be retold in a mini series instead of a movie. Maybe than it will be possible to show the events as well as the people. Because right now I think everyone just needs to read the book since the movie left out a lot of things.
But overall, the movie was really well made and did a great job at showing the harsh conditions and the tragedy that the victims had to face. It is a really nice addition to the book to get some visuals with the story, but it is not a replacement. If you're intrigued by the story, please read the book as well.
