Review of The Incredibles (2004) by Viniciusbrito — 07 Jul 2018

Back in the day there was a bunch of superheroes around the world with the most varied powers that were used to save their city from the bandits that were around, but because some amount of things the use of powers to save people and arrest criminals were banish in law, and all heroes stopped to work as one publicly. During the time of the heroes, a really strong man named Mr. Incredible and a Elastic Woman get into a relationship and got married, years after the end of the age of the heroes they got children and really tried to live like a normal person with normal jobs. Trying to keep being a heroe secretly and don't getting used to the normal life, the main character cedes in the first attempt to the action.

The story of this movie is very good, it is very well constructed without plot holes, it does have a nice use of the chekhov gun. A very nice narrative, with suspect aspects, a kind of narrative that one person is lying to the other and you have the perspective of the liar at first, and later on they give you the perspective of the other, making you understand both point of views very well. The motivation of all the characters are very well, not just exposed, but in some cases you can really feel it, feel the problem and the bad situation that the character is in and what i'm referring about, it isn't much about the acting, but the context of the thing, the moment that mr. incredible is in that monotonous work, you feel his unhappiness and later on when he got to be a hero again, it's easily noticiable the wight out of his shoulders of doing something that he really loves again, and that make us go to another really nice thing of the movie, the metaphor with the reality. One of the best things about this kind of movie, is that it works for all publics, the kids will have fun with the action, but the adults will also see the reality and heavy message that there is in it where you can put in relation with your life and make a parallel, that if you got something that you love to do, and for some reason ends in a job that you hate, you will not just struggle with your life, but also with your familly, because you will possibli get to be always stressed and tired, when right at your side there is something that you really like and can make things work. The problem with their familly was, they didn't talked, wich is the problem with most of the families, what can make they understand eachother and accept.

The strutcture of this movie is different than the main structure that pixar movies had at that time, is not about going back at home, that story that the character lose himself and needs to get back home, this one is more about understanding home, get to know the other in your side.

The action of this movie is incredible, the best thing about the action in those teams of superheroes is when they work together and use their powers together to achieve or reach something, and that in this movie is perfect, not just how they introduce the powers to the public, but also the interaçao between them using it, it isn't just funny, but also dope as hell when they are all in action.

The cinematography of this movie is very good as well, it does have some really pretty moments, but it isn't fantastic and helps to tell the story in a lot of moments, but it is pretty, it does have a moving camera that really captivates me, during in action it is really a differential.

The villain of the movie is nice and it does have a ok motivation that inside of the movie it does make some sense, but you will need to have some disbelief to buy what happens during some moments, there is some poetic license here, I didn't liked the villain that much, but he makes sense. The movie isn't about him, but the familly.

The theme that they created here is just remarkable, it is great, a noir theme very investigative.

All the characters are wondrously constructed, you not just care, but you is really interested to know more and go along with all of them, all had a key moment, and all are explored in different ways, they are uniques. Not just them but the familly friend with ice power and the comic moments is dope as well.

They make fun and use the superheroes stereotype here a lot, it isn't just a homage, but a characterization of the superheroe theme, the makers really had a nice brainstorm of the hero type while doing this.

This movie is just great, it does have a nice meaning, great action moments, characters that you will like very quicly and a great story about familly.
