The Last of Us (2023)
Wow. Seriously. Wow.
Yes. I'm a fan.
Yes. I played it 18 times.
I can be very biased.
On the contrary: believe me, I'm more of the type who was afraid. I was afraid because I am a maximalist.
I definitely wanted to sit on it in such a way that I could paint a realistic picture. Not a fan's. With high expectations due to the reviews.
Let's start with the most divisive:
Best of the Series: Bella Ramsey. This is beyond dispute. Not real Ellie.
Much more than that.
Already in the first part, he deepens and conveys the character in such a way that there is no scene where we don't get goosebumps from the bone-shaking performance of the now still real butt-head teenager.
Regardless, there will surely be people who will be shocked by what they already knew: he is not a baby face, but it is not that you cannot say a bad word about his game, it is as visceral as if he had just jumped out of the game. What a miracle he does with the character.
Joel is awesome too.
Pedro plays Joel with perfect style and voice.
His game is unquestionable. The mood is largely given by his broken, tormented, but strong features. Just like in the first part of the game. And he does this without any clichés.
This is what I dare to say that a mannered Buttler or Jackman would not have been able to do.
Pedro is at the top and here he proves that he is not without merit.
What was even more surprising: Gabriel Luna.
This dude does Tommy's voice like he's the original one, from the game! For real!
His performance rivals that of Pedro. He really caught the thread and is an incredibly lovable character.
For me, he became the most likable.
Marlene give exactly what she's do in the game. Nothing special. Just professionalism. It can be seen that: she already know this inside and out.
Was there anything I didn't like? Yes.
Just a few things. But it was.
Robert's character, for example, was like that.
But I can't say more without spoilers.
The story expands/changes just as much as it adds and makes it easier to understand the contexts.
Even the opening scene is like this, and I guarantee: everyone will be shaking from the cold right there!
The arrangement is flawless. You can feel the Craig Mazin effect in every frame. Cuts and photography enhance the atmosphere. The dialogues and chemistry work.
One thing is certain: there is no idling. No stopping. No fluff.
There is Last of Us. Pure Last of us.
With lots of accurately translated sentences, pictures, and actions. With vibrating characters. Apothecary mode with working action scenes, raw power and emotions, in a scene and universe composed to perfection.
For an hour and a half, it takes even those who have never played the game out of reality.
Subjective opinion.
Give it a shot! It deserves it.
If nothing else, because of the work and creativity involved and because it will definitely be a historical piece, just like the game. It's such a good adaptation, I can confidently say: It's never been made before.
Surley liked it!
Thank you for this experience!
A besúgó (2022)
A bit lazy writing, but still the second best hungarian series.
The characters in the series are great. The actors play very well, bringing the roles tailored to them very well.
The story is interesting and action-packed.
The only thing that causes some disappointment is that the characters are too close together. Too much is a coincidence.
But it is absolutely the best series since the golden life /Aranyélet/ I have seen from a Hungarian director.
