in multiple scenes The beast from the director Balthasar Kormakur, nature is a real enemy through a bloodthirsty lion turned into a monster by human violence. However, the film is also a well-narrated journey through questions about the man and his environment. Who are we in contact with the primitive?
This is not a simple topic, and the script does not show it in an obvious way. Greatest success premise The beast This is a reflection on the need to live at any cost. Whether it’s an out-of-control animal or a person looking to protect their family. Between the two, the film raises the question of how we overcome uncontrollable situations. At the same time, he reflects on fear and mental suffering as a natural impulse.
The production does not hide the fact that this is a traditional formula in cinema. His strength is to take that structure and tell the story elegantly. Each argument item in The beast it is justified by a great blessing. The animal defends its territory from the horrors that the human world creates, and faces a random victim who defends only his own. The accident ends in a terrible way, despite being predictable.
The beast:
murderous creature in the middle of the night
Dr. Nate Samuels (Idris Elba) carries several emotional experiences on his shoulders. He has to deal with the loss of his wife. A tragedy that happened in the midst of a stormy separation. He also tries to console or comfort his daughters Nora (Leah Jeffreys) and Meredith (Iyana Halley). They’ve endured a conflicted relationship, and recent duel injuries make things more difficult.
In an attempt to reconcile, they make a trip to their relatives. South Africa dead mother in search of relief and peace. The script talks about the experience from a certain distance and without going too deep. However, it is clear that death is the common thread connecting the Samuels to what they find on the plains of Africa.
The director is trying to combine both rooms into a compact whole. Then there’s one of the plot’s problems: sometimes he can’t effectively weave everything he wants to group together, even if that’s supposed to be the main storyline. But the confusing plot moments are offset by tension and deft camera work. The subjective camera follows its characters and turns the audience into witnesses of a terrible circumstance.
Scary creature lurking in The beast
The notion of the inevitable causing a lethal situation is the vehicles that The beast used to draw the viewer into a conflict. The one begins when the characters encounter an unstoppable and irrational presence. On this occasion, director Balthasar Kormacour decides to analyze the fact of good and evil as a gray area. The lion, turned into a terrible threat, is at the same time a victim of man in his greed. The idea can seem repetitive until the plot finds a way to give it a convincing three-dimensionality.
AT The beast this is much more than a story about an animal that must be killed out of necessity. This is despite the detailed horror hidden in the plains. A creature that fed on human blood and had already attacked entire cities with its insatiable appetite. The digital recreation of the lion, the center of the story, is impressive. The visual detail allows the script to delve deeper into the idea of a deadly and powerful enemy.
But although at some points his rage seems more human than just instinctive, he is still an animal. An aspect that lends credibility to the narrative; especially when the perception of danger becomes cruel. The instinctive killer travels alone, attacking poachers and residents of a peaceful village. But it is still a disoriented and aggressive mammal. Nuance, which in the film is shown almost poetically.
Dilemma of fear
Why can an animal become an enemy? Explanations in The beast something like that is not obvious. The film tries to get away from the topic, but, despite this, it approaches the obvious. The lion, who has lost his pride, is a reflection of Nate, who also engages in a potentially devastating duel. The parallelism is explained as part of a cruel circumstance. Which allows you to achieve emotional moments in a bloody scenario.
The story, through a certain sense of horror, incorporates dark and violent ideas: there is danger everywhere, and Cormacour shows this in subtle shots. From the endless blue sky that surrounds the characters and scenes like an observer, to the loneliness that is expressed in silence. The beast aims to give an eloquent meaning to each element that unites his setting. It’s not just about using the beauty of unexplored passages as context.
The unknown is the territory where the highest mystery of the world outside of man reigns, how to resist it? The problem is considered from several different points of view. But, in particular, from the idea that every trace of reason disappears in the original.
Nature versus man:
version The beast about fear
AT The beast wins the urge to survive. Both the scenario and the direction should show how far this search can go. As if all of the above wasn’t enough, the plot analyzes its harshest sides through an unpredictable figure. It’s about a crazy lion who turns out to be more than just an animal. Is it a symbol of the cruelty that surrounds him? Is his behavior born of revenge? The film does not make the mistake of humanizing its being. But he extends his power into inexplicable territory.
movie bases its effectiveness on the analysis of the mysterious from the primitive, succeeding in its allegorical language. He delves into an abstract vision of the unmanageable horrors associated with the original and suggests that the battle between man and the world outside the civilized world should be brutal and with its own rules. But even so, all animals, including humans, have a more complex goal than preventing death. A sacrifice for a greater good? The film does not answer the main question; however, he reveals what he wants to show about pain. Its highest and most refined point.
