Hello! As part of our ongoing efforts to improve both interaction and curation in the Movies and TV Shows Community, this post is one of many to highlight and boost members of the past week that have posted what we believe is exceptional content.
The Details
Each week, our Moderators will monitor the posts within the Movies and TV Shows Community and handpick the ones that are believed to stand out under numerous factors: post quality, length, and subject.
There are no entry requirements, and this is not a contest, but simply a roundup intended to provide additional exposure to all of you for your efforts. Just have fun posting in the Movies & TV Shows Community and five or more posts will be chosen frequently.

The main theme of the plot is to see if it is possible to judge what people do during intimacy and privacy, thus having various subjects who are judged for their "sins" as if it were a SAW movie, in a kind of shady game, all the people we see during the episode have something to hide, they do not want anything to come to light, they are never seen worried about what they have done, they just do not want their loved ones to find out, they show no remorse and prefer to take actions or commit crimes that could be considered worse than the reason they are extorted for, but here comes a big question, can something be considered bad if it doesn't harm anyone as long as it stays hidden? We could easily say that keeping secrets that do not affect others is fine but it really depends a lot on what you are hiding from others and more so if this involves an illegal action where third parties are also implicated, in addition to being a crime punishable by law. Despite the fact that the extortionists judge "bad" people, it is also important to see that they are not exempt from wrongdoing, what they do is also wrong, acting on their own, although in a way their actions could be justified in certain cases where the law does not intervene as in cases of infidelity.

From my point of view this story has mainly two main characters, and we are not talking about the prince 🤣, Elodie and the Dragoness are undoubtedly the main characters of this film, but let's go by parts so you can understand my point. Elodie is our main protagonist, there is no doubt about that, and I feel that she is a very well built character, her transition and that change of role from being a damsel with impeccable manners, to being a warrior who is fighting for her life, and when I talk about forced I mean that strange transition that sometimes the protagonists have where from one moment to another they already know how to fight, throw knives, spin around in the air and other things, Here Elodie takes a bit more time, we see her crying out of frustration, going into crisis for not knowing what to do, accepting that she's going to die at some point in the story, and taking the necessary strength to survive, and that's what at least I expect from stories of this kind where the girl has to learn quickly how to live and overcome such a threat that comes her way. Besides this, I really liked the interaction she had with her sister, even though it was brief in my opinion, and without a doubt the encounters she has with the Dragon are great 🔥.

I am not sure maybe it's because I am going older or maybe it's something else but I used to be a fan of the whole one man versus the whole world action movie, but watching this one felt very weird. I could feel myself unconsciously pointing out all the flaws in the whole sequence and how unrealistic it was for someone to be so unstoppable, unshakeable and completely without fear. But that's usually the main thing with these type of movies they're to serve as an escape from reality and give us that sense and feeling like everything is possible. For this reason I can't really fault that aspect of the film, but left to me I just felt like It was too unreal in that aspect. I'm guessing I've just outgrown that whole trope. I like to see heroes who actually fear, feel and aren't 100% perfect.

The animation is strange, the above is because it is the first film made by computer, the issue is that the film, although it presents a good fluidity, lacks an interesting level of detail, which results in many scenes looking empty and boring. , is a quite striking contrast, especially when compared to the rest of the studio's films, which have stood out for their extremely beautiful and detailed sets.

The award for best actress is well deserved for Emma Stone, her character is a baby who is growing up (only in mind), learning new things every day, she has moments in which she lets herself be spoiled, as any child would do and so she grows up to discover her sexuality and the satisfaction that this gives her. When the time comes for her to leave and get to know life, her father supports her in the only way he can and lets her live her freedom.

Moving on to the soundtrack, I'd say they curated the perfect songs as it enhanced the storytelling, with uplifting melodies that complemented the scenes perfectly. Trust me, the music added depth and emotion to the film. I really applaud the film's director and music supervisor for this one.

Compared to other romantic stories, this one may not be so romantic and I wouldn't include it among my favorites by Kiarostami, but the performances of the protagonists are very good (in fact, Binoche won the Best Actress award at Cannes for this role) and The simplicity of the script and the sequences are quite refreshing. More than a story or a plot, Certified Copy is for me a debate, a reflection, a conversation about art, life, love, like those we can have with a friend when leaving a museum or cinema. It is as if we were conversing with the director and through the characters we were also dialoguing with the artists. Does originality really exist, especially in these times, when, as Chuck Palahniuk says, everything is a copy of a copy of a copy? Is the artistic, plastic reproduction of something real a copy? Is it better to have a good copy than a bad original? Or does originality exist and therefore it is more important for something to be new than for it to be really good? If these questions are accompanied with examples of works, walking through a museum, a square, a gallery, wouldn't it be a wonderful experience? Perhaps that was precisely Kiarostami's intention, that we ourselves copy the protagonists of the film and had our own Certified Copy of these ideas. Have any of you seen this film? Do you know any other ones by Abbas Kiarostami? I read you in the comments.

Some examples of unintelligent reboots, not to mention some forced ones like the female version of the Ghostbusters. I believe that the innovative spirit of screenwriters does not necessarily have to try to modify a cult film from the past to attract spectators to the cinema. There are many books to draw inspiration from, if there really are no new ideas on the type of movie to make. But distorting a cult for the sole sake of making money... Well it's the most disgusting part of modern cinema.

It is curious how one of the best villains made in the cinema, does not appear in his debut film until almost halfway through the movie, not if this was done to save on expenses or something like that, but what it causes is an expectation, a curiosity, and at the same time a great fear, to meet the one of whom we hear so many terrible stories, especially the one in which it is told that he fell in love with the sea, told by "Tia Dalma" a kind of sorceress who will help Jack Will to know where the key is and where to find David Jones, which finally makes an appearance in a shipwreck, offering its survivors, However, these survivors are joined by Will, who, not being in panic and shock, discovers that he comes from Jack, in which the two finally face each other and discuss details of why Jack is indebted to David, revealing that a contract bound Jack to be captain of the Black Pearl for 13 years, and then be part of the crew of David Jones, the event concludes with Jack, earning a term of 3 days to bring 100 souls in exchange for Jack's freedom, so both seal the deal and Jack is momentarily free of the harassment of the Kraken.

It is a series from 2004, premiered on FOX, even though its last chapter was released in 2012, it was a little difficult to see all the chapters in order and not messed up when they pass them on TV or repetitive. Netflix incorporated this series and it is great to be able to enjoy each chapter in order to enjoy this Sherlock Holmes of medicine that will make you laugh and more than once be surprised with the weirdest and at the same time amazing medicine cases ever seen, accompanied by a little drama, romance and action that are never missing in a good series.
Congratulations to everyone that was chosen, and thank you to everyone posting in Movies and TV Shows! We look forward to the next report and highlighting even more of you.
