Los increíbles
Pronto se estrenará en España Los increíbles, nueva película de Pixar que viene precedida de unas muy buenas críticas en Estados Unidos.
James Berardinelli dice:
As the crop of digitally animated films becomes more abundant, audiences are likely to demand increasingly more from such movies. The early efforts mostly had everything: beautiful visuals, great voice acting, and superior writing. But, as more of these pictures reach screens and they become «routine,» it’s natural to speculate whether there will be a slip in quality. Fortunately, such a trend (if it ever develops) is not in evidence in The Incredibles. As with Toy Story and Finding Nemo, Pixar has again struck gold. The Incredibles isn’t just fine family entertainment, it’s superior family entertainment.
One thing immediately noticeable about this picture is that it is markedly more mature in tone and approach than any previous digitally animated movie (excepting Final Fantasy, which was intended for -and did not reach- an entirely different audience). That’s not to say that kids, even young ones, won’t enjoy The Incredibles, but it appears that writer/director Brad Bird composed his film with older children and their parents in mind. Also, because of the long running time (nearly two hours), boys and girls prone to restlessness may have trouble sitting through everything.
That teaser trailer -you know the one I’m talking about- with the fat old ex- superhero struggling to get into his spandex costume? It left such a bad taste in my mouth whenever I contemplated the film that must go with it. I imagined a gang of former masked crusaders called out of happy retirement, reluctantly huffing and puffing their way back into action, replete with very unfunny cracks about getting fat and old, and probably with an even more unfunny getting- into- shape- à- la- Rocky sequence thrown in for good measure.
The Incredibles is so not that film. It is so so- not- that- film that it’s running neck- and- neck with Toy Story 2 as the best Pixar film ever, nay, as one of the best animated movies ever made; it’s running neck- and- neck with Spider-Man 2 as the best superhero movie ever made. If you love these kinds of movies like I do, then you cannot miss this film… but you probably don’t need me to tell you that, because you’ve already planned a night at the multiplex with all your geek pals followed by a roundtable dissection at the diner (you’re gonna have a lot to talk about). If you’re not sure if you like these kinds of movies, do yourself a favor and check this one out, because labels like «superhero,» «animated,» and «geeky» aside, this is simply a great film, overflowing with humor and heart and soul and with lots of interesting things to say about love and family and following your dreams and the priorities of our society.
On the surface, «The Incredibles» is a goof on superhero comics. Underneath, it’s a critique of modern American uniformity. Mr. Incredible is forced to retire, not because of age or obsolescence, but because of trial lawyers seeking damages for his unsolicited good deeds; he’s in the same position as the Boy Scout who helps the little old lady across the street when she doesn’t want to go. What his society needs is not superdeeds but tort reform. «They keep finding new ways,» he sighs, «to celebrate mediocrity.»
Yo tengo tanta confianza en Pixar que ya hay un Mr. Increíble protegiendo mis libros:
