Hot Fuzz
THE SOUNDTRACK IS FUCKIN PEAK. I LOVED IT. Spanish: No es mi tipo de pelĂcula, pero me gustĂł y la disfrutĂ©. No suelo ver este tipo de comedia dopada de acciĂłn, y tampoco es mi cosa favoritaâal menos por ahoraâ. Reconozco que funciona muy bien, incluso en lo absurdo. De hecho, lo absurdo, lo estĂșpido y el homenaje hace parte del objetivo, y funciona dentro del universo que se plantea. Hubo momentos en los que me reĂ, pero sobre todo sentĂ esa desesperaciĂłn del protagonista. La pelĂcula estĂĄ bien hecha que te mete dentro de la experiencia, al punto de sentir su impotencia, pues es la Ășnica persona que se toma todo en serio. En un punto lleguĂ© a pensar: âSon tan inĂștilesâ, pero despuĂ©s tomaron consciencia y es como thank you God, no podĂa morir o simplemente huir, y eso me encantĂł. Que las pelĂculas fueran el germen que lo motivó⊠me gustĂł. La acciĂłn estĂĄ increĂble y las muertes fueron grotescas. Algo que me gusta mucho del cine britĂĄnico es su ediciĂłn y su forma Ășnica de presentar a los personajes. TambiĂ©n la mĂșsica que emplean y acĂĄ no es la excepciĂłn. Mientras escribo esto, estoy escuchando Sgt.Rock (Is Going To Help Me) de XTC y me encanta. Sigo con el soundtrack que fĂĄcilmente puede pasar desapercibido por lo caĂłtico que puede ser el ritmo y lo inmersiva que puede ser la pelĂcula. Es evidente que hay alma y cariño por el cine detrĂĄs de esto. Y tan solo tienes que ver la quĂmica entre Danny y Nicholas. Fue lo que mĂĄs me gustĂł. Nicholas Angel es extremadamente competente, metĂłdico, obsesivo y eso lo hace parecer frĂo e inadaptado. Pero en lugar de tratarlo como un hĂ©roe cool, la pelĂcula lo presenta como alguien solitario, que no sabe cĂłmo conectar con la vida mĂĄs allĂĄ del trabajo, incluso lo retrata como un lunĂĄtico que estĂĄ perdiendo la cabeza en el "pueblo mĂĄs seguro" del Reino Unido; aunque sea Ășnicamente un ser que sĂ tiene sus lĂos internos como Danny, pero que tiene la justicia y la buena moral impregnada en su cerebro y la busca a toda costa. Su relaciĂłn con Danny es genial. Hay una evoluciĂłn real entre ellos que realmente sientes cuando Danny sacrifica su vida por su amigo. Somos testigos de una amistad sincera, torpe y llena de corazĂłn. Eso fue lo que mĂĄs me enganchĂł. El hecho de que Danny le proponga como cura para desconectarse del trabajo: ver pelĂculas... es genial, porque es justamente lo que hacemos nosotros al ver cine: una forma de desprendernos de nuestras vidas⊠pero no tanto, porque al final es otra forma de vivir, ya que aprendemos de nosotros y de la vida por medio de personajes e historias inolvidables, solo para adquirir sabidurĂa y vivir la nuestra con mĂĄs determinaciĂłn. Sigo escuchando el soundtrack y me encanta, holy shit. Tanto Trainspotting, como Withnail and I y Lock and Stock Two Smoking Barrels tienen canciones muy buenas. Siempre es un placer escuchar mĂĄs a detalle estos soundtracks. Slippery Rock 70s AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I loved it. Y Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits. En tĂ©rminos de comedia, me doy cuenta de que me hacen reĂr mĂĄs las pelĂculas donde no se busca la risa directa, sino que surge del caos o la crudeza de los personajes. Me pasa con Withnail and I, Trainspotting, con momentos raros en Breaking Bad y lo real de las situaciones que experimentan la familia disfuncional de Little Miss Sunshine. Me hacen reĂr lo incĂłmodo, lo humano, lo inesperado. Como esa escena donde Walter White rĂe de forma incontrolable debajo del piso. Esa risa manĂaca que te contagia no porque sea graciosa, sino porque te identificas con el absurdo de la vida misma, de lo poco creĂble pero probable de la situaciĂłn. Entonces sĂ: Hot Fuzz no es mi cosa favorita, pero me gustĂł. Es entretenida, tiene un ritmo particular con personajes entrañables y un estilo muy definido. Pensaba que lo que mĂĄs me habĂa gustado era el carisma de los personajes, pero terminĂł siendo la mĂșsica⊠estoy escuchando Lovefool - Radio Edit de The Cardigans, i mean, what a vibe. Se siente como el tipo de cine que sabe exactamente lo que estĂĄ haciendo y que, incluso si uno no pertenece a su publico objetivo, logra ganarse un lugar con carisma y honestidad. Y eso, al final, siempre se agradece. Probablemente, la vea despuĂ©s con otros ojos, con el soundtrack inyectado en mis venas, y me rĂa mĂĄs de lo que podrĂa imaginar. PD: EL SOUNDTRACK IS FUCKIN PEAK. I LOVED IT. El Ășltimo soundtrack que me encantĂł terrible fue Trainspotting y The Matrix. Amo Village Green⊠by The Kinks ahg AMOOOOOO DEMASIADO. ME FASCINA ESA CANCIĂN. IT'S A PREDICTION ABOUT THE PLOT TWIST. No puedo creer que literalmente que no haya percibido o sido consciente de estos temones mientras veĂa la pelĂcula⊠esto tan solo me hace pensar en cĂłmo diablos pudieron usarlas⊠quiero identificar cada escena con cada canciĂłn. DANCING WITH THE DEVIL??? AHG that kind of 70s Rasputin-style drumming âWTH y Caught by the fuzz. OK. STOP. I havenât listened the score originally composed to the film yet, but all the featured songs are just great. English: Itâs not my kind of movie, but I liked it and enjoyed it. I donât usually watch this kind of action-heavy comedy, and itâs not my thing, at least for now. I recognize that it works really well, even in its absurdity. In fact, the absurdity, the stupidity, and the homage are part of the goal, and it all works within the universe the film builds. There were moments when I laughed, but above all, I felt the protagonistâs frustration. The film is so well made that it pulls you into the experience, to the point where you feel his helplessnessâheâs the only one taking everything seriously. At one point, I thought, âTheyâre so uselessâ, but then they finally became aware, and it was like âthank you, God. He couldnât just die or run away"âand I loved that. Those movies were the spark that motivated him⊠I liked that. The action is amazing, and the deaths were grotesque. Something I really love about British cinema is its editing and the unique way it presents characters. Also, the music they useâand this film is no exception. As I write this, Iâm listening to Sgt. Rock (Is Going To Help Me) by XTC, and I love it. Iâm still listening to the soundtrack, which can easily go unnoticed cause of how chaotic the pacing can be, and how immersive the movie is. Itâs obvious thereâs soul and a deep love for cinema behind this. And you just have to look at the chemistry between Danny and Nicholas. That was my favorite part. Nicholas Angel is extremely competent, methodical, obsessiveâand that makes him seem cold and out of place. But instead of presenting him as some cool hero, the movie shows him as someone lonely, who doesnât know how to connect with life beyond workâeven like a lunatic losing his mind in the âsafest townâ in the UK. Although really, heâs just someone whose sense of justice and morality is so deeply ingrained that he pursues it no matter what. His relationship with Danny is great. Thereâs real development between them, and you feel it when Danny sacrifices his life for his friend. We witness a sincere, clumsy friendship full of heart. That was what hooked me The fact that the cure to disconnect from work is watching movies is genius, because thatâs exactly what we do when we watch films: a way to detach from our lives⊠âbut not entirely, because in the end itâs another way of livingâlearning about ourselves and life through unforgettable characters and stories, just to gain some wisdom and live our own lives with more clarity and will. Iâm still listening to the soundtrack and loving it, holy shit. Trainspotting, Withnail and I, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels all have amazing songs. Itâs always a pleasure to listen more closely to a British soundtrack. Slippery Rock 70s AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I loved it. and Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits. In terms of comedy, Iâm realizing that what makes me laugh the most are not movies that aim directly for laughs, but those where humor comes from chaos or the rawness of the characters. That happens to me with Withnail and I, Trainspotting, strange moments in Breaking Bad, and the reality of what the dysfunctional family in Little Miss Sunshine goes through. I laugh at the awkwardness, the humanity, the unexpected. Like that scene where Walter White laughs uncontrollably under the floor. That maniacal laugh that grabs youânot because itâs funnyâbut because you relate to the absurdity of life itself, to how unbelievable yet plausible the situation is. So yeah: Hot Fuzz is not my favorite thing ever, but I liked it. Itâs entertaining, has a particular rhythm, lovable characters, and a very defined style. I thought what I liked the most was the charm of the charactersâbut it ended up being the music. Iâm listening to Lovefool - Radio Edit by The Cardigans as I write thisâI mean, what a vibeâ. It feels like the kind of movie that knows exactly what itâs doing, and even if youâre not the target audience, it manages to win a place with charm and honesty. And that, in the end, is always appreciated. Iâll probably rewatch it with different eyes, with the soundtrack running through my veins, and laugh more than I couldâve imagined. P.S.: The last soundtrack I loved this much was Trainspotting and The Matrix. I love Village Green⊠ahg I LOVE IT SO MUCH. IT'S A PREDICTION ABOUT THE PLOT TWIST. I canât believe I didnât even notice or register these bangers while watching the movie⊠and now Iâm just thinking: how the hell did they pull it off? I want to match every scene to each song. DANCING WITH THE DEVIL??? AHG that kind of 70s Rasputin-style drumming âWTH and Caught by the Fuzz. OK. STOP. I havenât listened to the score originally composed for the film yet, but all the featured songs are great, and the main theme.

Edgar Wright is one of the best directors working today, and this may be this best film so far. After the massive disappointment last night in soho was I am glad to revisit his older films which are absolutely fantastic. One of the best comedyâs released since the turn of the millennium, and genuinely some of the best line delivery in film.
Hot Fuzz
I like the moment when the villagers simultaneously reveal their hidden weapons after seeing Nicholas return with an arsenal while riding a horse. A mystery action film with a touch of comedy, i really enjoyed watching it.
Hot Fuzz
My friend Luke pressured me into watching this for some Taco Bell. I took the bait and watched the movie. I loved it so much. I wasn't as into it at the start and I felt a lot of the cuts were extremely quick paced, but towards the end it really hooked me. The final sequence being so over the top and funny sold me entirely. Need to give this a rewatch but for a first viewing, I loved it!
