Iván Olsen es acosado por matones un antipático papá, pero una poción mágica mezclados por una bruja amigable le hace "el mejor en todo" durante un día (Resumen de Netflix.com)
Iván el Increíble/Jelly T Tráiler- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjoZVStw-IM
Visto esta película en Netflix meses antes de que empecé la universidad y pensar acerca de los sucesos que ocurrieron todavía me duele mi cerebro e incluso mi corazón.
Yo sabía que si quería revisar esta película ahora, era necesario volver a verla para estar seguro de que tengo todas mis hechos rectos y señalan muchos de sus defectos obvios. Así, por su propio bien, miré la película de nuevo, reviviendo el dolor que yo sentía todos esos meses atrás.
Según Commonsensemedia.org, Iván el increíble es una "versión en lengua inglesa de la película de animación danesa" y el sitio señala que "los niños acostumbrados al ritmo optimista y películas de dibujos animados estadounidenses encontrarán en esta película de ritmo más lento y algunas escenas repetitivas."
Marcapasos lento y repetitivo escenas son los menos de los problemas de esta película. Cualquier película que presenta esas imágenes grotescas, significa animada personajes, y uno de los peores de la moral de todos los tiempos no debería ser capaz de ver la luz del día.
Como el resumen de los estados, la historia gira en torno a Iván Olsen. Él es un chico que es ignorado por muchos y su único consuelo es jugar con sus electrodomésticos improvisados en una sala privada de su casa.
Ivan está plagado de "matones". Hay tres matones de su escuela que parecen mucho mayores de lo que parece. Asumí que estaban en la escuela media y alrededor de la misma edad que Iván, pero estos matones parecía estereotipos. Un matón, un drogadicto buscando dummy, y una chica que es deliberadamente señaló a mirar muy feo con una figura disporpotional y siempre es visto con una mitad comido salchichas en la boca, como un cigarro.
En el comienzo de la película, ellos escogen a Iván y su amigo Lottie (quien tiene un flechazo Ivan) y mientras Lottie es capaz de ir a escondidas de los matones, Ivan se queda con el trío y que obligarlo a sentarse dentro de un gran lavabo con agua y luego arrojarlo en el inodoro cale y se burlan de él hasta sin fin.
Pero eso no es lo peor, estos no son los únicos acosadores Ivan aborda.
No es sólo el trío de chicos que significan lo intimidan, es toda la ciudad!
En serio, casi cada sola persona insultos Iván en una u otra forma. Uno de sus compañeros, un muchacho rico atascado mocks Ivan por no poder pasar tiempo con Lottie, tanto como él, que nunca está realmente explica que cuelgan fuera mucho, desde Lottie claramente no como los ricos kid. La ciudad carnicero y una anciana frágil comentarios sobre cómo Iván es, e incluso el padre de Iván (Holson Olsen, el nombre se menciona una sola vez) es un matón a él. De hecho, el papá era menos mi personaje favorito debido a su insufrible actitud hacia su hijo.
Es conocido que la intimidación en la escuela a diario sucede una vez que el padre de Iván, Holson le pregunta si los niños trasteado con él de nuevo. Cuando Ivan dice sí, el papá no comodidad el hijo o decirle a la directora acerca de él; él le regaña por no ser lo suficientemente fuerte como para hacerse cargo de la situación. El papá sigue ranting sobre cómo quiere Iván podría ser como Tarzán-una fascinación que yo estaba muy confundida.
A lo largo de la película, el papá siempre está hablando de cómo debería ser como su Ivan hombre ideal, Tarzán por ser grandes y fuertes. Es peculiar que los escritores eligieron Tarzán como el ideal para el padre, ya que Tarzán es una historia en la vida real;.Creo que si el padre estaba obsesionado con algo como un espagueti monstruo, que haría que la historia mejor y tal vez más divertido, porque podrías encontrar hilarante que iba a obsesionarse por algo tan estúpido; pero ese no es el caso. Desde que fue a Tarzán, no sólo genera la audiencia off pero da un menor aversión a todo lo Tarzán relacionados para los próximos días (por desgracia) de
todas maneras, el padre es un completo idiota a Iván. Él es delirante y nunca toma su hijo de lado en todo lo malo que le sucede. También se dio cuenta de que su padre no se toman el tiempo para enseñar a su hijo las cosas simples como andar en bicicleta.
También se enteró de que Ivan no se puede leer. Cuando se trata de Iván el analfabetismo estaba perturbada en cómo su estado era realmente malo. Ivan sería testimonio literalmente las letras de un libro saltar de la página y correr por la habitación gritando.
En un primer momento pensé que esto era solo un chiste común que resultó ser una broma débil, pero ahora lo veo como un triste revelación. En función de cómo lo trata su padre y su naturaleza engreída, sólo podía suponer que su papá nunca le enseñaron a leer correctamente.
Su padre le importa más ser entrenador de los habitantes de la ciudad para presumir su ego y obtener la popularidad él cree que merece, pero él opacan por una bruja itinerante que viene a la ciudad y concede los deseos del pueblo, incluyendo la elaboración de un viejo hombre caminar de nuevo. Esto provoca que el padre de utilizar a su hijo para demostrar a la comunidad que él puede hacer que la gente firme con su entrenador habilidades.
Una cosa que hace a su hijo es que reúne a todos los habitantes de la ciudad a un árbol alto y hace Ivan subir todos el camino a la cima para probar que él es fuerte. Ivan a regañadientes sube pero falla en hacer todo el camino y cae a la tierra delante de todo el mundo. Su padre crece enfurecido con él y boquillas palabras odiosas, diciéndole que es imposible trabajar con ella y que él no puede hacer nada bien y da a su hijo el apodo de "Tarzán" de gelatina (Jelly T- El título de la película danesa) y los pobladores se burlan de Ivan utilizando ese sobrenombre cuando el padre abandona a él por el árbol.
El único que no se burlan de Iván fue Lottie, que en este punto ha sido constantemente tratando de evitar cualquier confrontación con los matones y siempre Iván izquierdo para valerse por sí mismo. Francamente, no veo esto como demasiado malo desde Lottie es un cabrito, y para ser justos, ella no parece entender que lo que hace está mal. Mientras, su padre...es todo tipo de mal. En este punto es donde yo realmente quería no ver nunca más, pero me empujó.
41 minutos antes de llegar al clímax de la historia cuando Ivan posteriormente descubre donde la bruja itinerante se encuentra y la bruja es lo suficientemente amable para darle uno gratis deseo. Ivan quiere ser el mejor en todo y él obtiene desea que él quiere, pero la bruja le advierte de que sólo podía quedarse así durante un día.
Por supuesto, el próximo día Iván muestra sus nuevos poderes por la lectura de varios libros para la clase, obteniendo la venganza de la escuela matones y mostrando sus músculos para intimidarlos (los músculos por el camino freaked me fuera por la forma en que fueron diseñados. Era inquietante ver) además de él puede escupir lo suficientemente rápido para romper una ventana y razas la chica bully alrededor de la ciudad en una bicicleta mientras que él tiene su amigo Lottie en la espalda, ponerla en peligro.
Ivan se enorgullece de sus nuevos poderes hasta que Lottie se queja de que las potencias han cambiado a él y que no le gusta este nuevo Iván. El muchacho entonces se molesto por perder a su amigo, pero lo suficientemente pronto hace la sorprendente revelación el día después de que él no ha perdido sus poderes. Esto es porque la bruja olvidó realizar Ivan beber una poción que detiene a los poderes. Esto resultó ser afortunado noticias para el padre de Iván, quien promueve a sí mismo a través de su hijo los poderes y hace un libro llamado, "entrenador" de Tarzán y viaja por todo el mundo para vender a todo el mundo.
Una vez más, su padre es ser engreído y todavía no cuida de Ivan. Él sólo para su autocuidado.
Después de viajar por el mundo, el padre y el hijo, regreso a casa y el padre inmediatamente provoca tensiones entre él y la ciudad de carnicero. Sin embargo, Ivan es para él y coge el carnicero y camina sobre el árbol anteriormente en la película. Toda la comunidad circundante es Ivan, gritando por él para lanzar el carnicero en el árbol, pero Ivan se niega y finalmente -shocker-recoge su papá y tira de él sobre el árbol en su lugar. El padre cae del árbol y llora sobre su vergüenza, pero una vez más, Iván se siente culpable por ser significa así que él se lo lleva a casa.
Al llegar a casa, básicamente el padre admite que él no es del todo bueno y es una persona débil. Iván muestra su sala privada de artículos para el hogar a su papá y la bruja le llega allí, de repente, le da la poción y lo convierte de nuevo a normal. Y al parecer el padre es bueno con su hijo en la forma en que lo está ahora, porque él aprendió su lección de cómo es dulce.
Al final de la película, se muestra Ivan a ir a la escuela y diciendo que él es Lottie vuelve a lo normal a la derecha antes del trío de matones volver a meterse con él de nuevo (sabiendo que es normal también) pero esta vez, Lottie es lo suficientemente fuerte para defender a Ivan y pueden obtener intimidados y arrojados en el fregadero juntos y cuando los matones deje de reírse de su vergüenza, la pareja mantenga las manos y disfrutar de su compañía como cacerolas a la bruja viaja a otra ciudad desconocida.
....Esta película es simplemente horrible. Los personajes son los intimidadores o víctimas, y estoy de acuerdo con commonsensemedia.org cuando dicen que la moraleja de esta historia es, "Es mejor ser intimidado a convertirse en un matón a ti mismo" porque es lo que se está presentando en niños pequeños.
Esta película está destinada para los niños 8 y arriba, pero qué es exactamente lo que estaban pensando cuando crearon este? Esto puede causar serio daño moral a un niño, pensando que debería conformarse con ser escogido en y es bueno para la gente con golpear a usted y no diga nada a nadie tan largo como usted es un tipo secundario.
Sí, es bueno decir que usted debe ser amable, sino también ser valiente y quererse lo suficiente para protegerse. Protección no convocatoria de lucha; algo tan sencillo como decirle a un maestro es un acto de amor hacia ti mismo.
aquí fue poco de amor que debe difundirse en esta película, los únicos personajes del público como son Ivan, Lottie y la Bruja, pero todos los demás actúan como defensores de los demonios, especialmente el padre. Él fue hecho para ser demasiado tuvo aversión y nunca un encanto suficiente para hacerme como él. Él tiró su inseguridad sobre su hijo y él no merece compasión por su pasado o una palmadita en la espalda por "cambiar" su actitud al final. Estoy seguro de que si me hicieron una secuela, iba a volver a sus viejos hábitos. En serio, si yo fuera Ivan, yo intentaría huir de casa en cada ocasión que se me presentaba, aunque desde que el padre fue negligente, estoy seguro que no sería difícil de hacer.
Esto fue un reto a superar, pero me alegro de haberlo hecho. Nadie necesita ver este vídeo. Soy un adulto y estoy casi creció deprimido viendo este joven la tortura ir tan lejos. Sólo podía imaginar cómo se sentirían los niños.
Sólo ver si desea confirmar que estoy diciendo la verdad acerca de esto, que no estoy haciendo hasta una elaborada historia que tontamente despotricar. Y no verla con los niños en la habitación.

Ivan the Incredible/Jelly T (2013)
Ivan Olsen is plagued by bullies an an unsympathetic dad, but a magic potion mixed by a friendly witch makes him "the best at everything" for a day (Summary from Netflix.com)
Ivan the Incredible/Jelly T Trailer- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjoZVStw-IM
I watched this movie on Netflix months before I started college and thinking about the events that occurred still hurts my brain and even my heart.
I knew that if I wanted to review this movie now, it was necessary to re-watch it to be sure that I got all my facts straight and point out many of its obvious flaws. So, for your sake, I watched the movie again, reliving the pain I felt all those months ago.
According to Commonsensemedia.org, Ivan the Incredible is an, "English-language version of a Danish animated movie" and the site points out that, "kids used to the upbeat rhythm of American cartoons and movies will find this film's pace slower and some scenes repetitive."
Slow pacing and repetitive scenes are the least of this movie's problems. Any movie that presents such grotesque imagery, mean spirited characters, and one of the worst morals of all time should not be able to see the light of day.
As the summary states, the story revolves around Ivan Olsen. He is a young boy who is ignored by many and his only comfort is playing with his makeshift household appliances in a private room of his house.
Ivan is "plagued by bullies". There are three bullies at his school that appear much older than they seem. I assumed they were in middle school and around the same age as Ivan, but these bullies looked like stereotypes. A thug, a drug addict looking dummy, and a girl who is purposely drawn to look very ugly with a disporpotional figure and is always seen with a half eaten sausage in her mouth-like a cigar.
In the beginning of the movie, they pick on Ivan and his friend Lottie (who has a crush on Ivan) and while Lottie is able to sneak away from the bullies, Ivan is left with the trio and they force him to sit inside a large sink filled with water and later throw him into a toilet stall and mock him till no end.
But that's not the worst part, these are not the only bullies Ivan deals with.
It's not just the trio of mean kids that bully him, it's the entire town!
Seriously, almost every single person insults Ivan in one way or another. One of his classmates, a stuck up rich kid mocks Ivan for not being able to spend time with Lottie as much as he is-which is never truly explained why they hang out so much, since Lottie clearly doesn't like the rich kid. The town butcher and an older lady comments on how frail Ivan is, and even the Ivan's father (Holson Olsen, the name is mentioned once) is a bully to him. In fact, the dad was my least favorite character because of his insufferable behavior towards his son.
It is known that the bullying at school happens daily once Ivan's father, Holson asks if the kids messed with him again. When Ivan says yes, the dad doesn't comfort the son or tell the principal about it; he scolds him for not being strong enough to take care of the situation. The dad continues ranting about how he wishes Ivan could be like Tarzan-a fascination that I was really confused about.
Throughout the movie, the dad is always talking about how Ivan should be like his ideal man, Tarzan-by being big and strong. It's peculiar that the writers chose Tarzan as the ideal man for the father, since Tarzan is a story in itself; I think if the father was obsessed with something like a spaghetti monster, that would make the story better and perhaps funnier because you'd find it hilarious that he would obsess over something so stupid; but that's not the case. Since he was into Tarzan, it not only throws the audience off but gives a minor dislike to everything Tarzan related for the next few days (unfortunately)
Anyways, the father is a complete jerk to Ivan. He is delusional and never takes his son's side on anything bad that happens to him. It's also realized that his father didn't take the time to teach his son simple things like riding a bike.
It is also learned that Ivan cannot read. When it comes to Ivan's illiteracy I was perplexed at how bad his condition really was. Ivan would literally witness the letters of a book jump off the page and run across a room yelling. At first, I thought this was just a running gag that turned out to be a weak joke, but now I see it as a sad revelation. Based on how his father treats him and his conceited nature, I could only assume that his dad never taught him how to read properly either.
His father cares more about being a coach for the townspeople to boast his ego and get the popularity he thinks he deserves, but he's outshine by a traveling witch who comes into town and grants people's wishes, including making a old man walk again. This causes the father to use his son to prove to the community that he can make people strong with his coach skills.
One thing he does to his son is that he gathers all the townspeople to a tall tree and makes Ivan climb all the way to the top to prove that he's strong. Ivan reluctantly goes up but fails in making it all the way and drops to the ground in front of everybody. His father grows infuriated with him and spouts hateful words, telling him he's impossible to work with and that he can't do anything right and gives his son the nickname, "Jelly Tarzan" (Jelly T- The Danish title of the movie) and the townspeople make fun of Ivan using that nickname once the father abandons him by the tree.
The only one who wasn't making fun of Ivan was Lottie, who at this point has been constantly trying to avoid any confrontation with bullies and always left Ivan to fend for himself. Frankly, I don't see this as too bad since Lottie is a kid and to be fair, she does seem to understand that what she does is wrong. Whereas, his father...is all kinds of evil. This is the point where I really wanted to not watch anymore, but I pushed on.
41 minutes pass before we get to the climax of the story when Ivan later discovers where the traveling witch is located and the witch is kind enough to give him one free wish. Ivan wishes to be the best at everything and he gets want he wants, but the witch warns him that he could only stay like that for one day.
Of course, the next day Ivan shows off his new powers by reading multiple books to the class, getting revenge from the school bullies and showing off his muscles to intimidate them (the muscles by the way freaked me out by how they were designed. It was unsettling to see) plus he can spit fast enough to break a window and races the girl bully around town on a bike while he has his friend Lottie on the back, putting her in serious danger.
Ivan is proud of his new powers until Lottie complains that the powers have changed him and that she doesn't like this new Ivan. The young boy is then upset over losing his friend, but soon enough he makes the surprising revelation the day after that he hasn't lost his powers. This is because the witch forgot to make Ivan drink a potion that stops the powers. This turned out to be fortunate news for Ivan's father, who promotes himself through his son's powers and makes a book called, "Tarzan Coach" and travels around the world to sell it to everyone.
Again, his father is being conceited and still doesn't care for Ivan. He only cared for himself.
After traveling the world, the father and son return home and the father immediately causes tension between himself and the town butcher. However, Ivan is there for him and picks up the butcher and walks over to the tree from earlier in the movie. The whole community is surrounding Ivan, chanting for him to throw the butcher on the tree but Ivan ultimately refuses and -shocker-picks up his dad and throws him on the tree instead. The dad falls from the tree and cries over his embarrassment but once again, Ivan feels guilty for being mean to him so he carries him home.
When they get home, basically the father admits that he's not all that great and is a weak person. Ivan shows off his private room of household items to his dad and the witch finds him there suddenly, gives him the potion and turns him back to normal. And apparently the father is okay with his son the way he is now, because he learned his lesson-how sweet.
At the end of the movie, it shows Ivan going to school and telling Lottie that he is back to normal right before the trio of bullies return to mess with him again (knowing he's normal too) but this time, Lottie is strong enough to stand up for Ivan and they both get bullied and thrown in the sink together and when the bullies leave laughing at their shame, the pair hold hands and enjoy their company as it pans over to the witch traveling to a different unknown town.
....This movie is just horrible. The characters are either bullies or victims and I agree with commonsensemedia.org when they say that the moral of this story is, "It's better to be bullied than to become a bully yourself" because that's what it is presenting to young children.
This movie is intended for kids 8 and up, but what exactly were they thinking when they created this? This moral can seriously damage a child, thinking that you should settle for being picked on and it's okay for people to beat you up and not say anything to anyone as long as you are a kind child.
Yes, it's fine to say that you should be kind, but also be brave and love yourself enough to protect yourself. Protection does not call for fighting; something as easy as telling a teacher is an act of love towards yourself.
here was little love to be spread in this film, the only characters the audience might like are Ivan, Lottie and the Witch, but everyone else act like devils' advocates, especially the father. He was made to be too unlikable and never charming enough to make me like him. He threw his insecurities onto his son and he deserves no pity for his past or a pat on the back for "changing" his attitude at the end. I'm sure if they made a sequel, he would revert back to his old ways. Seriously, if I were Ivan, I would try to run away from home every chance I got, although since the father was neglectful, I'm sure it wouldn't be that difficult to do.
This was a challenge to get through, but I'm glad I did it. No one needs to watch this. I'm an adult and I almost grew depressed seeing this young boy's torture go on for so long. I could only imagine how kids would feel.
Only watch it if you want to confirm that I'm telling the truth about this, that I'm not making up an elaborate story just to mindlessly rant. And don't watch it with children in the room.

Netflix (Nueva idea!)
Cuando comencé este blog crítico de cine, de hecho, cuando empecé a trabajar en la revisión de mi cuenta de Facebook, que originalmente se apegaron a revisar lo que había en Netflix (un proveedor americano de demanda de los medios). Aparte del hecho de que yo no centrar la mayor parte de mi atención a las películas en los actuales escenarios, no hay nada diferente en el trabajo que estaba haciendo, y el trabajo que estoy haciendo ahora.
Y por lo tanto, me parece que es beneficioso para mi audiencia si inicio publicar críticas de películas de Netflix. Tengo una aplicación de Netflix en mi teléfono para que yo pueda tirar fácilmente de sus películas.
Ya he hecho mi decisión de que esto es lo que voy a hacer, pero si en el largo plazo, este método no, por favor, o me parece demasiado complicado, lo dejo.
P. S va a hacer mi vida en mi colegio así. Planificación en hacer mi primer post hoy o mañana.
Manténgase sintonizado!

Netflix (New idea!)
When I began this movie critic blog- in fact, when I first started making reviews on my Facebook account, I originally stuck to reviewing whatever was on Netflix (an on demand American provider of streaming media). Aside from the fact that I didn't focus much of my attention to movies in current theaters, there was nothing different about the job I was doing then and the job I am doing now.
And so, I would find it to be beneficial for my audience if I start posting movie reviews from Netflix. I have an app for Netflix on my phone so I can easily pull up their movies.
I already made my decision that this is what I will do, but if in the long run this method does not please you or seems overly complicated, I will stop.
P.S Still going to do my life in my college as well. Planning on doing my first post either today or tomorrow. Stay tuned!

I already made my decision that this is what I will do, but if in the long run this method does not please you or seems overly complicated, I will stop.

VIDA UNIVERSITARIA (lo siento para el retraso)
Este es un breve mensaje, pidiendo disculpas a cada partidario de las minas que ha notado cómo he sido incoherente con mis publicaciones. Hace cuatro semanas, llegué a la universidad. Actualmente estoy viviendo en un dormitorio y mi única forma de comunicación con internet (además teléfono) es terriblemente lento en mi ordenador portátil y los equipos de mi biblioteca de campus. Por lo tanto, desde este punto, mi es probable que los críticos se publicarán menos rápidamente, pero te prometo, YO todavía le proporcionan la gran calidad que se merece. De hecho, para remediar esta situación, estoy pensando en hacer un blog documentar mis aventuras en el campus. Tengo mucho que pasar a través de ella y no hay suficiente tiempo para hacerlo en este mensaje, sin embargo, voy a establecer un día de la semana donde sólo puedo liberar mis sentimientos sobre lo que ha ocurrido a lo largo de cada semana. Espero que esta idea es muy popular y no puedo criticar películas, pero crítico... mi vida universitaria? (No se) de todos modos, gracias por apoyar todo este tiempo y ME hablará con usted pronto!
P. S no sé donde hay un cine en mi área de trabajo. Actualmente estoy viviendo en Connecticut y nunca he estado en este estado para ello mucho antes. Voy a tener que buscar un teatro pronto o encontrar un sitio que muestra películas gratis que ya en los cines.

COLLEGE LIFE (Sorry for delay)
This is a brief message, apologizing to every supporter of mines who has noticed how inconsistent I've been with my publishings. Four weeks ago, I started college. I am currently living in a dorm and my only form of communication with the internet (besides phone) is on my terribly slow laptop and the computers at my campus library. Thus, from this point, my critics are likely to be published less swiftly but I promise you, I will still provide you with the great quality it deserves. In fact, to make up for this, I'm thinking about doing a separate blog documenting my adventures on campus! I have much to go through and not enough time to do it in for this message, however, I will set up a day of the week where I can just release my feelings on what has transpired throughout every week. Hopefully, this idea is a popular one and I can not only critic movies but critic...my college life? (IDK) Anyways, thanks for supporting me all this time and I will talk to you soon!
P.S Not sure where a movie theater is around my area. I am currently living in Connecticut and I've never been in this state for this long before. I'll have to look for a theater soon or find a site to shows free movies that are in theaters.
