Review of Luca (2021) by Itsineffable — 21 Jun 2021
The thing most people have with this film is that the plot isn't strong enough or the stakes are too low, saying how Pixar is 'losing its touch'. But too be honest, no they're not, they wanted to take a break from the high staked and complex plot driven films.
They wanted to create a whimsical story about friendship and acceptance. And the lgbtq+ metaphor is especially appreciated. It's not just about the plot that pixar wanted to take easy, it was the art style too.
Instead of having insanely human like detailed characters, like in soul, inside out, raya and the last dragon, and so on and so forth. They instead went with a cute and brightly colored style. Which is only one of the breathtaking things about this film.
People are ridiculing this film for what it's not, when they could be judging it for what it is. It's one of the most visually stunning films that Pixar has made, each character had their own life and they're not just some random person who's their to help out Luca.
I don't care if this film was made by Pixar, Disney, blue sky's, paramount or any other studio, I'm judging it for what it is and not for what it needs to compare too. In short, I loved everything about this film and I'll be thrilled if they were to make a second release.
May it be on Alberto wanting to find his parents, people not being accepting of the fact that they're sea monsters or if it's even about Luca trying to decide if he's in love with Giulia or Alberto. I would still watch it and love it no matter what studio creates it.
