yeah, i cried
30 April 2022
This movie made me cry. It's not exactly the mostly crafted disney film, but at the end it gives us such a dense message that i guess it got me and i started to cry. It's not that unusual for me to cry in films, even though doesn't happen that often. And when i cry i always give good grades. The thing here - the story about an orphan kid, who was deeply frustrated about his nonworking invention that took him hours and hours to make, looking for a family - is how lewis became hopeful.

The type of themes the movie explores - fear of failure, of loneliness, childhood traumas that can be problematic, fear of being rejected - i guess a bunch of them are deep to me. So while i was doing his trip, i think it went too close to home. And i was mildly enjoying the movie, and finding the robinsons a bit boring, until we understand exactly what goes on.

Look the movie is not very appealing visually. It's maybe one of the worst disney movies in that sense, it looks too amateurish, even though it has good ideas in terms of scenery. But the animation is clearly disney saying "we don't care". However the script is actually great. Since the beggining the movie gives you small clues about what's really going on. And when we get there, the characters gain a whole new dimension. What was an absolute cartoonish idiotic villain is now a deep character with a lot of issues that absolutely need a psychologist.

That's how smart this is. Disney did a "sixth sense" that is actually better than the sixth sense. And when we see the results at the end for the kid, when the whole plot comes together, when all the pieces match...jesus i cried. I guess i really liked lewis.
