Peliplat - The first social network for film buffs. Everything you need to know about the film industry, its celebrities and the best movies and TV shows.

I don't know if you've ever felt this way, but it seems like the more movies I watch, the more I can only find the pure joy out of a good story in animated films. It's true—just a simple, good story. Perhaps because animated films often cater to children, they humbly focus on the power of storytelling. This power dates back to ancient times when people, anxious about food and nightfall, gathered around campfires to spin comforting tales. A truly moving story has strangely become something rare t

In the vast universe of “Disney princesses,” there is a division between those protagonists who embody traditional royal ideals and those who stand out by breaking with established norms. On one side, we have the classic princesses: women who were born into royalty or who, by the circumstances of their story, end up becoming heirs to a throne, such as Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, or Beauty and the Beast. However, Disney has carved out space for a new category: heroines. These are women who, thou

Among the colorful cast of One Piece, Roronoa Zoro stands out as my absolute favorite. It's not just his incredible fighting skills or his impressive combat style that draws me in; it’s his lack of a noble lineage or a gifted bloodline. Zoro, unlike many of his peers, didn’t inherit greatness; he earned it. In a world overflowing with characters defined by prestigious family backgrounds and inherited powers, Zoro’s “ordinariness” sets him apart, making his journey toward becoming the world’s str

Gru: my life model (!) I am going to explain in simple terms what it is to adopt a child. From one day to the next you are a parent. That's how brutal it is. You don't have 9 months to mentally prepare yourself for this huge change that will affect your life, it's not something that you have planned and that will happen on a fixed date... just one day the judge calls you and says “you are a dad; go to the orphanage with this paper and take this child that is already yours”. My wife and I got mar

I'm not going to even try to pretend I'm unbiased. I’m preparing for the holidays in the US with my parents (including my immigrant father) right now, but there’s none of the usual cheer. Election day was spent silently avoiding the news and dodging the topic of the election. Even now we avoid speaking of it unless we’re talking about plans going forward, but no matter what we try to distract ourselves with, the political reality is always lurking in the back of our minds. I can’t say I’m surpri

After months of buzz surrounding Megalopolis, Francis Ford Coppola’s long-awaited film, I finally got the chance to see it, and all I can say is this: watching it was an experience unlike any other—but one I wouldn’t recommend to anyone. Megalopolis tells the story of an architect determined to overcome resistance and transform a fictional city—“New Rome,” evoking both New York and ancient Rome—into a utopia where everyone can find enlightenment and fulfillment. Coppola nurtured this idea for ov

When I watched the first Joker in 2019, I left the theater with a wondering mind. The movie moved me in a way I hadn't expected, with its raw and unsettling approach to mental health, social exclusion and the fine line between victim and villain. Arthur Fleck wasn't just the comic book Joker I knew—he was a brutal portrait of a society that fails to look after its own. However, to my surprise, what I considered to be a broader social critique was taken up by a group that completely distorted the

Released on October 4, 2024, Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia's The Platform 2 returns to the grim, dystopian setting that resonated so powerfully with audiences during the height of the COVID lockdowns. The original film, released in 2019, became a dark reflection of our society's struggles with resource scarcity, and it quickly gained traction on Netflix. Now, four years later, we must ask: does the sequel maintain that same level of relevance and impact? At its core, The Platform 2 picks up where its p

On September 20th, Whiplash thundered back into theaters with a stunning 4K remastered version, celebrating its monumental 10th anniversary. As I sat in awe, realizing that a decade had passed since its original release, I eagerly immersed myself in this cinematic masterpiece once again. But to my surprise, watching Whiplash now hit me in a far deeper, more visceral way than I ever expected. Thinking back to the first time I saw it, I can't help but reflect on the impact it had on me then and th

To be each other's heroines rather than be a Rose Bride：Utena & Anthy Among the vast array of animated heroes (usually male) that have captured the hearts of audiences worldwide, one stands out as a truly unique and compelling character: Utena Tenjou from Revolutionary Girl Utena (Shoujo Kakumei Utena). Directed by Kunihiko Ikuhara and Naoko Yamada, Revolutionary Girl Utena first aired in 1997 and has since become an iconic anime classic, cherished for its iterative and progressive storytelling

In the expansive universe of Japanese manga, Gintama stands out for its unique storytelling and profound themes, capturing the hearts of countless readers. Its protagonist, Sakata Gintoki, is a blend of comedic charm and deep-rooted samurai ethos. He seamlessly merges tradition with modernity, absurdity with solemnity, crafting a character that’s both complex and irresistibly engaging. The Depth Behind the Laid-Back Demeanor At first glance, Gintoki is easily recognizable: wild, with naturally c
