La Nueva Apuesta de Netflix: ¿Éxito o Fracaso? // Netflix's New Bet: Success or Failure? [ Heart of Stone ]

Gal Gadot

Si esta actriz es uno de los principales recursos para captar la atención de los espectadores, es bueno analizar su participación en proyecto de Netflix.

En primer lugar, tenemos una visión generalizada de Gadot, una mujer con una elegancia indiscutible, la manera en que entra en esenas a cautivar con actuación y belleza hace que sea una atríz ya con una visión particular dentro del cine, sin embargo, observamos que el personaje del Agente Stone, tiene rasgos sutiles que se salen de esa enfoque que estamos acostumbrados con respecto a Gadot.

En este filme es una agente un poco simple, aparentemente se debe a que está en cubierto y su verdadera identidad no debe ser revelada, sin embargo, su rostro cambia mucho en comparación a las películas en las que estamos acostumbrados a ver de la israelí. Una imagen simplista, sin maquillaje, un cabello algo desalineado, la verdad es que no me ha gustado la aparición de la actriz en este filme, más allá de la acción obligatoria y comercial que propone la producción.

Desde mi punto de vista, es de las peores apariciones que ha tenido la actriz en pantalla, no está su toque cautivador ni, lo que se podría decir, su marca personal, aunque siempre estoy a favor de observar la versatilidad de los actores dentro de otros escenarios fuera de su zona de confort, creo que en esta ocasión es un punto negativo para Gal Gadot, al menos desde mi punto de vista personal.

Acción:

La película promete acción, en cuanto a este aspecto creo que es un filme que cumple a penas con esta característica, es una acción no muy atractiva, tampoco vistosa, quizás pierde el ritmo por momentos y hace que el filme quede con una sensación de que la acción, si bien no es mala, pudo tener características un poco innovadoras a todo lo que ya conocemos.

Es una acción que no sorprende y que tampoco va a acelerar nuestro corazón, simplemente va a rellenar un filme que presenta una propuesta repetitiva y una fórmula convencional, sin nada nuevo.

En muchos casos, Netflix se apoya en los efectos especiales para llevar la acción a un nivel comercial que atraiga espectadores que no les interese el desarrollo de la trama, pero en este caso no hay muchos efectos, explosiones u otras cosas que maravillen nuestros ojos.

Giros

Para aumentar la sorpresa dentro de la trama, en muchas ocasiones se utilizan giros en guion, en donde observamos que no todo es lo que parece, esto ocurre en una ocasión en este filme, este giro en la trama me sorprendió, realmente no lo vi venir y se realiza de manera abrupta, quizás un punto positivo para el filme, sin embargo, la trama se vuelve tan plana que termina siendo un giro insignificante desde un punto de vista general.

6.3 ⭐️

Opinión Final:

La película desde mi punto de vista es un fracaso, debido a que es un relleno más entre las opciones en Netflix, para catalogarla como un éxito debe ser algo que pueda sobrepasar en calidad el promedio de los filmes, no ser una obra maestra, pero al menos tener suficientes razones positivas para recordarla en el tiempo, en ese sentido Heart of Stone no cumple con lo que se espera de un éxito por parte de Netflix.

A pesar de que desde un punto de vista analítico sobre el filme, lo catalogo como un fracaso, nunca sabremos si esta producción es realmente positiva o negativa dentro de Netflix, debido a que no se publican los datos de reproducciones y nunca sabremos cuantos suscriptores se han unido al servicio de streamig, para ver esta película, en ese sentido, quizás desde un punto de vista financiero es positivo para la plataforma (por algo repiten siempre la misma fórmula), pero como un espectador pienso que no termina de convencer.

Heart of Stone

[English Version]

Netflix as always, tries to take a film to stardom overexploiting its advertising machinery, in many cases there are successes, in other cases (most) cause disappointments to subscribers. Heart of Stone is that new bet of action and espionage cinema that Netflix wants to bring to the homes of the world, is it a success or a failure, as usual, I will write you my opinion on that.

Source

This is a film with a formula that many of us already know, espionage, action and a cast that makes us all look forward to seeing a world class film that we will remember for a long time.

My weakness when considering this film is Gal Gadot, an actress I remember very well for Fast and Furious and especially for being Wonder Woman in the DC universe, the elegance of this actress can make a mediocre film can climb in level and visibility just by having the Israeli actress in the cast.

Having Gal Gadot with the promise of action within a plot immersed in espionage, makes a magnetic effect so that millions of people can reproduce this film, of course, an effect driven by the dizzying marketing that this streaming service performs.

It could be said that the reproductions at least from the beginning of the film are basically guaranteed, however, each film must contribute, have value, not be just another option, after all, it is not a film that has a short budget, usually Netflix makes large investments in this type of bets, but that usually do not end up convincing and that do not offer anything new to subscribers, even worse, do not convince other people to buy their subscription.

Movie Analysis

There is always something interesting in spy stories, the promise of action, plus artifacts or technology that in many occasions accompanies the plot, good scenes and chases with good rhythm, all that is makes a totally commercial spy movie, even the intro has something of James Bond, so from the beginning we can observe that the film is not something innovative, merely commercial.

Gal Gadot

If this actress is one of the main resources to capture the attention of viewers, it is good to analyze her participation in Netflix project.

First of all, we have a generalized vision of Gadot, a woman with an indisputable elegance, the way she enters esenas to captivate with acting and beauty makes her an atríz already with a particular vision within the cinema, however, we note that the character of Agent Stone, has subtle features that are out of that approach that we are used to regarding Gadot.

In this film she is a somewhat simple agent, apparently because she is under cover and her true identity should not be revealed, however, her face changes a lot compared to the films in which we are accustomed to seeing the Israeli. A simplistic image, no makeup, a somewhat misaligned hair, the truth is that I did not like the appearance of the actress in this film, beyond the obligatory and commercial action proposed by the production.

Source

From my point of view, this is one of the worst appearances the actress has had on screen, her captivating touch is not there nor, what you could say, her personal brand, although I'm always in favor of observing the versatility of actors within other scenarios outside their comfort zone, I think this time it's a negative point for Gal Gadot, at least from my personal point of view.

Action:

The film promises action, in terms of this aspect I think it is a film that barely complies with this feature, it is a not very attractive action, not showy either, perhaps it loses the rhythm at times and makes the film to be left with a feeling that the action, while not bad, could have had a little innovative features to everything we already know.

It is an action that does not surprise and that will not accelerate our heart, it will simply fill a film that presents a repetitive proposal and a conventional formula, with nothing new.

Source

In many cases, Netflix relies on special effects to bring the action to a commercial level that will attract viewers who aren't interested in plot development, but in this case there aren't many effects, explosions or other things to wow our eyes.

Twists

To increase the surprise within the plot, in many occasions twists in script are used, where we observe that not everything is what it seems, this happens in one occasion in this film, this twist in the plot surprised me, I really did not see it coming and it is done in an abrupt way, maybe a positive point for the film, however, the plot becomes so flat that it ends up being an insignificant twist from a general point of view.

6.3 ⭐️

Final Opinion:

The film from my point of view is a failure, due to the fact that it is one more filler among the options on Netflix, to categorize it as a success it must be something that can surpass in quality the average film, not be a masterpiece, but at least have enough positive reasons to remember it in time, in that sense Heart of Stone does not meet what is expected of a success by Netflix.

Source

Although from an analytical point of view about the film, I catalog it as a failure, we will never know if this production is really positive or negative within Netflix, because they do not publish the data of reproductions and we will never know how many subscribers have joined the streamig service, to see this film, in that sense, perhaps from a financial point of view is positive for the platform (for something they always repeat the same formula), but as a viewer I think it does not end up convincing.
