Cine: Three Months (2022)

Por si no se sabía, además de un consumado cantante, el sudafricano Troye Sivan es un actor que inició su carrera cinematográfica como el pequeño Wolverine en, precísamente, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" (2009). Luego sería el protagonista de la trilogía "Spud" y tendría un pequeño rol en "Inocencia Borrada" (Boy Erased, de 2018, ya reseñada aquí). Entre grabaciones, conciertos y alguna aparición televisiva, Sivan se hizo tiempo para rodar esta película de Jared Frieder, producida por MTV.

La historia transcurre en en 2011, en el estado de Florida (EE.UU.). Aquí, Sivan interpreta a Caleb, un muchacho que vive con su abuela (la ganadora del Oscar Ellen Burstyn) y el novio de ésta, Benny (el también ganador del Oscar Louis Gossett Jr.). Su padre ha muerto y su madre le ha desahuciado al no aprobar su estilo de vida gay. Trabaja en un supermercado junto a su amiga Dara (Brianne Tju), a quien luego halla teniendo un "encuentro" con Suzanne, dueña del local (Judy Greer). Un mal día, una de sus parejas provisorias le envía un mensaje angustioso: había sido diagnosticado con el VIH y, debido a que el condón utilizado se había roto, había posibilidades de que el adolescente se hubiera contagiado.

Allí se inicia una espera angustante de tres meses para saber si los resultados de los análisis son negativos o si, como teme, su vida cambiaría drásticamente. El Dr. Díaz, que es quien lo atiende (Javier Muñoz), le indica una reunión en el Pride Center of Equality Park (el lugar existe) para que se conecte con otras personas que pueden estar atravesando el mal (o estén en espera de un diagnóstico) y necesiten evitar la idea de tener relaciones sexuales. Allí conoce a un tímido muchacho llamado Estha (Viveik Kaira) que también está afrontando lo mismo que él, aunque con mayor temor, ya que sus padres hindúes (Caleb viene de una familia judía) no tolerarían jamás que su hijo perfecto fuese gay, y menos uno con VIH.

Al fin, ambos afianzan una relación en la que la actitud de vida desprejuiciada de Caleb contrasta fuertemente con la más seria y acongojada de Estha, de quien teme se desarrolle una depresión tan fuerte que decida terminar con su vida.

Es cierto que, aunque sigue siendo incurable, el VIH-SIDA ha perdido mucho ese halo de condena a muerte que lo revestía desde su descubrimiento, a finales de los setenta. No es un tema fácil, pero esta película logra utilizar un tratamiento desdramatizado, aunque no por eso menos ligero, de la realidad de los nuevos padecientes. Un aspecto importante de la historia es la permanente mención de Pedro Zamora, figura destacada del reality show "The Real World: San Francisco", emitido en 1994 por MTV.

Interstellar (2014)

Interstellar is a hugely ambitious film. It’s about the endless possibilities of space exploration, but also tells a personal story. Some of the choices it makes may seem wild but repeat viewings make you appreciate them more each time.

In the future, humanity is in trouble. Food sources are running out and it’s only a matter of time before Earth’s changing ecosystem can no longer support us. Former NASA pilot Joseph Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) is enlisted in a desperate, secret mission to find a new home for humankind. A wormhole placed near Saturn by unknown beings appears to be the key to salvation. Cooper has no choice; to save his children, he has to leave them behind and travel through the great unknown.

When I think of everything humanity has accomplished, from the music we’ve composed to the art we’ve painted to the philosophical debates and the feats of physical strength, I always find my way to space. Isn't it wonderful that we've managed to escape Earth’s gravity? Who could've predicted we'd set foot on the moon when we first emerged out of the primordial sludge? That’s what "Interstellar" is all about. In most science fiction, we learn that aliens and strange worlds are hostile. That we should've just minded our own business and stayed home. In this story, the stars are our salvation for us. The danger is present but it's what makes the journey so exciting.

This story never dumbs itself down to appeal to the most common denominator. It’s not so complicated that you can’t follow it, but there’s a lot to digest. We’re talking about theories involving gravity affecting the passage of time, black holes, wormholes, space anomalies, and more. Manifested visually on-screen, they become some of the most striking visuals I’ve seen in a long time, all set to a brilliant score by Hans Zimmer

It could've been a very clinical film but the human element and emotions are a critical part of the story, particularly towards the end. Our protagonist is leaving his children behind for a mission whose length is undetermined. He will need to hibernate through years’ worth of human history and risk his life for people who may not even exist anymore when he emerges from the wormhole. His children might not event WANT to see him again considering how long he's been gone. No technology could allow them to communicate. All that ties them to each other at this point is love, and family. Can this force overcome the vast unknown?

That last point can be difficult to accept as a major idea in a science-fiction story. Most movies would try to be one thing or another but not Interstellar. To make these seemingly contradicting concepts digestible, every aspect has been carefully scrutinized to ensure it helped drive the point home and provide the thrills we'd expect. We receive sights as we've never seen before and the action sequences are incredible. It isn't perfect. Certain dramatic moments do not quite pack the punch they should and the running time is a tad excessive. These flaws are overcome by the mind-blowing experience and sheer ambition of it all. It’s a picture you won’t easily forget. (On Blu-ray, June 19, 2015)
