Culpa Mia (My Fault)


 

I saw this movie all over my TikTok a few months ago, but I never actually watched it just because I thought it looked like a dumb movie. It seemed like a easy start for this blogs so I decided to just watch it. It really wasn't that bad. I usually avoid movies in other languages because i end up focusing more on the captions than the actual movie, but for some reason I didn't have a hard time watching this movie and keeping up. Going into watching the movie I knew a bit about it which definitely helped me understand what was going on. 
     I honestly did really like it. The lighting was always really cool, especially during the party and racing scenes. I thought the love story was cute and I've always really liked the whole enemies to lovers trope. HOWEVER, the stepbrother and stepsister trope is GROSS. That was my main turn off of the movie. I do think that Noah and Nick are a cute couple, and I think that they could really help each other grow. BUT THEY NEED TO FIGURE OUT THE STEPSIBLINGS SITUATION. If we just ignore the incest situation, then I'm rooting for Noah and Nick. I think that the characters compliment each other really well and you can tell the actors have really good chemistry. 
    I'm just gonna ignore the whole step siblings thing for the rest of the blog. Anyways, I do think Noah is a good character. I think she has a lot of potential to be a really cool female lead. However, she does have that "I'm not like other girls" energy which makes me want to slam my head into a wall. Especially at the beginning of the movie, she's really entitled and rude. I can't really blame her though because if i had her mom as a mom I would be so bummed. Her mom is literally the worst, she didn't realise that she was uncomfortable when Dan was there and all she does is get mad at Noah for existing. 
    Now Nick. I already have a hard time liking him as a love interest because thats my brothers name but whatever. That aside, i really like Nicks personality. He's kinda a douche at the beginning of the movie but he's such a great guy at the end. 10/10 character development. however, I think the gang stuff is really dumb. They definitely only put in the gang stuff so that there was a in for the ending. Also, I don't know how Spanish gangs work, but the gang feels unrealistically separated from Nicks life. The only time they interact is when they're at parties or races and then there's basically nothing else, which is feel like isn't how gangs work. 
    Overall I thought the movie was pretty good. The camera work was really creative and I thought they did a really good job with the lighting. I was worried that the script was gonna be trash, but I was pleasantly surprised with how the writing was. Honestly I think it was a good rom-com ish movie and I'm gonna watch the second one when it comes out.

    I love how you instantly analyzed the stepsibling thing. You did a lot here and I love this. If you are spending too much time this, you are allowed to cut back a little bit. But if you are having a good time, keep it up!

Amadeus (1984)

Mr.H told me that this film is like if The Prestige didn't fumble the ending (i liked the ending of the Prestige but whatever.) I can for sure see elements of the Prestige in this film but i think the ending was even more confusing than it. There was no real explanation. I mean i understand the concept that Salieri killed Mozart, but its not really clear to me how he does. Does he work him to death? did he drive him insane with the whole masked guy asking for a funeral song thing? i really dont know. I also dont think this can really be compared to the Prestige. its a movie about revenge for sure, there are elements reflected in both films but the one sidedness of the revenge in this film is a major disconnect for me. I think the one sided revenge adds a lot to this story. it shows how consuming jealousy is  and i think it depicts Salieri getting absorbed by the jealousy and letting it drive him insane, even after Mozart is dead. however, it is not the same one upping, escalating h...

What Jennifer Did (2024)

Ive heard of this case before. i really like true crime and theres so many youtubers that i watch religiously that have talked about this case but this presented way more information than those videos did. This documentary did an amazing job at breaking down every little detail of the case. I also really enjoyed the insight that i gained into the police investigation system and how they go about investigating a homicide case and all the pieces that go into it.  Cinematically this was pretty good. some of the other True crime documentaries ive seen struggle to make it a movie instead of just an organized combination of evidence but that was not the case with this one. obviously the main driving force of this was the interrogation recordings and the eventual confession but they mixed in some cinematic elements which really helped this feel less like a documentary and more like an actual movie  one thing that this gave that other videos on this case didn't was the specific invest...

Leo (2023)

 this movie is honestly better than it should be. its a really cute film.  its not anything to call home about. i mean its a lizard whos an inspirational speaker? to be honest its a dumb concept. but its done really well. Leo is oddly comforting as a character, like he reminds me as my grandpa? not to compare my grandpa to a lizard but like the resemblance is there (sorry Alvis.)  i think that this movie is done super well. i think that all the character arcs were done well. they seemed a little bit forced at times sure but its a kids movie so i wasn't really expecting angst. i also love how theres every type of 5th grade stereotype in here. theres the yapper, the bully, the mean girl, the kid with allergies etc.  i did think that the music was a little bit out of place. like why are we singing? it kinda ate sometimes but it felt unnecessary.  ik this is a short blog, but i dont have a ton to say about this movie. it was cute, and for children. i liked it but al...
