The South Park Movie aged really well.

ENGLISH

I admit that despite being a South Park fan who has religiously watched all the specials that have been released exclusively for Paramount+, I had always ignored the 1999 film, The Reason? Although I knew that it had been very well received in terms of criticism, I consider that the series created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone shines better when we see it from a current perspective, something that can often cause its best stories to remain stuck in the historical moment. that arose.

There are exceptions, obviously, but there is something in the production process of each episode that ends up perpetually stagnating them in time, something that obviously should not harm our ability to appreciate them, but which can turn revisiting them into a slightly tedious task.

This is a silly prejudice, I admit, and "Bigger, Longer and uncut" is an example of this, since not only does it still have a relevant premise in the middle of 2024, but it has also been thematically reinforced by the passage of the years.

Although on the surface it may seem like a musical that uses vulgarity as an incentive to attract people, a deeper exploration of it reveals a dense criticism of the culture of censorship, and how inconsistent we often are in deciding what deserves to be. massively consumed and not.

The brilliant thing about the matter is that this criticism is not built to the detriment of the film's ability to be entertaining, and, many times, it finds the perfect point between subtlety and exaggeration to land it appropriately.

It contributes greatly to this point that despite the simplicity of South Park's animation style, Bigger Longer and Uncut represents a considerable improvement in terms of production over traditional episodes (especially if we take into account the technical limitations of the time compared to the today) and features several of the best gags that Parker and Stone have written during their entire careers.

It is a Trojan horse, which, without giving up the usual style that we usually expect from a franchise like South Park, knows how to make us think, something commendable considering that more than 20 years have passed since its original theatrical release.

Good music, emotional moments and several of the best jokes ever seen in an animated film. South Park the movie has it all.

Admito que a pesar de ser un fanático de South Park que ha visto religiosamente todos los especiales que se han estrenado exclusivamente para Paramount+, desde siempre había ignorado la película de 1999, ¿La razón? Aunque sabía que había Sido muy bien recibida en términos de crítica, considero que la serie creada por Trey Parker y Matt Stone brilla mejor cuando la vemos desde una perspectiva actual, algo que muchas veces puede causar que sus mejores historias queden estancadas en el momento histórico que surgieron.

Hay excepciones, obviamente, pero existe algo en el procesos de producción de cada episodio que termina estancandolos perpetuamente en el tiempo, algo que obviamente no debería perjudicar nuestra capacidad para apreciarlos, pero que si puede convertir revisitarlos en una tarea ligeramente tediosa.

Este es un prejuicio tonto, lo admito, y "Bigger, Longer and uncut" es una muestra de ello, ya que no solo sigue contando con una premisa relevante en pleno 2024, sino que aparte, se ha visto reforzada temáticamente por el paso de los años.

Aunque en la superficie puede parecer un musical que utiliza la vulgaridad como incentivo para atraer a la gente, una exploración más profunda del mismo deja entrever una densa crítica a la cultura de la censura, y lo inconsistentes que muchas veces somos para decidir que merece ser consumido masivamente y que no.

Lo brillante del asunto es que está crítica no se construye en detrimento de la capacidad que tiene el film para ser entretenida, y, muchas veces, encuentra el punto perfecto entre la sutiliza y la exageración para aterrizarla apropiadamente.

Contribuye muchísimo con este punto que pese a la simpleza del estilo de animación de South Park, Bigger Longer and uncut representa una mejora considerable en términos de producción a los episodios tradicionales (especialmente si tomamos en cuenta las limitaciones técnicas de la época en comparación a la actualidad) y cuenta con varios de los mejores gags que Parker y Stone han escrito durante todas sus carreras.

Es un caballo de Troya, que, sin renunciar al estilo soes que solemos esperar de una franquicia como South Park, sabe hacernos reflexionar, algo loable considerando que han pasado más de 20 años desde su estreno teatral original.

Buena música, momentos emotivos y varios de los mejores chistes que se han visto en una película animada. South Park la película lo tiene todo.
