Sobre la película
Dirigida por Alexander Payne, The Holdovers nos traslada a la década de 1970 en Nueva Inglaterra, específicamente a la Academia Barton, un prestigioso internado donde se desarrolla la historia. La película sigue a Paul Hunham (interpretado por Paul Giamatti), un profesor de Historia algo huraño y reservado, que pasa la mayor parte de su tiempo enseñando en este lugar. Durante las vacaciones de Navidad, Paul se encuentra a cargo de un grupo de estudiantes que, por diversas razones, no pueden regresar a sus hogares. Entre ellos está Angus Tully (Dominic Sessa), un joven problemático y con dificultades para adaptarse, quien ha pasado por varios colegios debido a su comportamiento rebelde.

About the film
Directed by Alexander Payne, The Holdovers takes us back to 1970s New England, specifically to Barton Academy, a prestigious boarding school where the story takes place. The film follows Paul Hunham (played by Paul Giamatti), a somewhat sullen and reserved history teacher, who spends most of his time teaching there. During the Christmas vacations, Paul finds himself in charge of a group of students who, for various reasons, are unable to return home. Among them is Angus Tully (Dominic Sessa), a troubled and maladjusted young man who has been through several schools due to his rebellious behavior.

Los personajes y sus historias
La película profundiza en las vidas de estos personajes, mostrando cómo sus historias personales se entrelazan. Paul, un hombre conservador y solitario, carga con un pasado doloroso marcado por un fracaso que lo ha definido. Angus, por su parte, está lidiando con el reciente matrimonio de su madre y la ausencia de su padre, lo que genera en él una profunda tristeza que oculta tras su actitud desafiante. Además, está Mary Lamb (Da'Vine Joy Randolph), la cocinera del internado, quien está atravesando un duelo por la pérdida de su hijo en el servicio militar.

The characters and their stories
The film delves into the lives of these characters, showing how their personal stories intertwine. Paul, a conservative and lonely man, is burdened with a painful past marked by a failure that has defined him. Angus, on the other hand, is dealing with his mother's recent marriage and the absence of his father, which generates in him a deep sadness that he hides behind his defiant attitude. Then there is Mary Lamb (Da'Vine Joy Randolph), the boarding school cook, who is grieving the loss of her son in military service.

La conexión entre los personajes
A medida que avanza la trama, Paul, Angus y Mary se embarcan en una especie de viaje emocional juntos. A través de sus interacciones, descubren aspectos de sí mismos que aún no han sanado y encuentran consuelo en la compañía del otro. La película nos muestra que, aunque la vida no siempre es como la esperamos, hay valor en seguir adelante y apreciar lo que tenemos en el presente, incluso si no es perfecto.

The connection between the characters
As the plot progresses, Paul, Angus and Mary embark on an emotional journey of sorts together. Through their interactions, they discover aspects of themselves that have not yet healed and find solace in each other's company. The film shows us that, although life is not always as we expect it to be, there is value in moving forward and appreciating what we have in the present, even if it is not perfect.

La ambientación y la dirección
La dirección de Payne y la escenografía logran transportarnos a la Inglaterra de los años 70, con una atención meticulosa a los detalles. Las grabaciones en la Academia Barton, un lugar lleno de historia, refuerzan la sensación de que estamos viendo un momento específico en el tiempo. La película está filmada de manera sutil, permitiendo que el espectador sienta el paso lento del tiempo y se sumerja en la vida de los personajes.

The setting and direction
Payne's direction and set design succeed in transporting us to 1970s England, with meticulous attention to detail. The filming at Barton Academy, a place steeped in history, reinforces the sense that we are watching a specific moment in time. The film is subtly shot, allowing the viewer to feel the slow passage of time and become immersed in the lives of the characters.

Reflexión final
The Holdovers es una película larga (más de dos horas), pero su ritmo pausado y su narrativa detallada hacen que el tiempo pase casi sin darnos cuenta. Lo que más me impactó fue la manera en que la historia nos invita a mirar más allá de las apariencias y a entender que todos llevamos cargas emocionales que nos moldean. A pesar de las pérdidas y las dificultades, la película nos recuerda que es posible encontrar consuelo y seguir adelante, valorando lo que tenemos en el presente.

Final Reflection
The Holdovers is a long film (over two hours), but its leisurely pace and detailed narrative make the time pass almost without our noticing. What struck me most was the way the story invites us to look beyond appearances and understand that we all carry emotional baggage that shapes us. Despite loss and hardship, the film reminds us that it is possible to find solace and move forward, valuing what we have in the present.

A mí también me encantó cómo mezcla la comedia con el drama de una manera tan natural. Paul Giamatti está espectacular, como siempre, y el chico, Dominic Sessa lo hace genial.. La relación que se va creando entre ellos dos y con Mary, la cocinera, es lo más lindo de la película, sientes esa conexión humana de la que hablas, cómo tres personas tan diferentes encuentran un punto en común en medio de sus problemas. Buena reseña!

Si, tiene una forma tan simple de contar una historia llena de recuerdos dolorosos. Es una película muy buena y me gustó también la actuación de cada uno de los protagonistas. Gracias por pasar y dejarme tu comentario, lo aprecio mucho ☺️

Hello, I hope you are well, I must say that my posts are written by me and that if at some point I have made use of the AI is to correct grammatically some paragraphs. I do not consider that I am using the AI much less to write a complete post and paste it here in Hive as if it were mine, the whole post is written by me. I hope you can understand the situation and that this does not generate any problems in the future, thank you!

I thoroughly read your posts and investigated them for AI-generated writing. Then I ran the text through complex AI detection analyses.

avatar

I understand, but all the text was written by me and I have ways to prove that it was, as I explained before I usually use the AI sometimes to correct grammatical errors, but all the text is taken from my own mind and is of my authorship, I have the texts saved in my phone if you want to see some proof of what I say about correcting grammar with the AI, but I do not use it to make a post and publish it here in Hive as if it were mine without having written it.

Could you please come to Discord to appeal?
Thanks

Yes of course, it is the discord that is in the link of your profile right?

I will keep in mind that AI cannot be used including to correct grammar because any AI detector will most likely say that the text was done with artificial intelligence. I will no longer use AI to correct my grammar in texts to avoid problems in the future, however I would like to know if there is any way to improve the grammar of my text without having to use AI, I would be grateful to know your answer. Thank you.

Evidently, a simple grammar correction was not used, but an AI prompt was used to generate the review.

avatar

I know it may seem written by AI but I really only use it to correct grammar, sorry for the inconvenience caused as I know it is not possible to use it to correct grammar mistakes. I thank you for contacting me and next time I will upload the posts without correction, I think it is the only way that it will not detect as if it were AI. If you have any recommendations for improving grammar I would be grateful to know. Thanks!

(If you need screenshots with the uncorrected posts I can send them to you, so you can see that I do write my own posts)
