Luz: The Flower of Evil [Luz, la flor del mal] (2019)

What exactly is the doctrine of El Señor? The central message of this religious horror western seems to fluctuate from scene to scene, moment to moment. Though in a way, I suppose that is the nature of cult leaders: make shit up as you go along so you can stay ahead of the group. The problem is, El Señor is a terrible cult leader. Even from the outset it seems apparent that this compound is in its final days. Early on, his methods of control are fairly conventional. A cassette tape player that his daughter Laila found is an instrument of the Devil, the soothing strains of the Mozart Clarinet Quintet insidious messages of his evil. The girls don’t even understand the concept of music in general. El Señor installs a Messiah in a boy he’s kidnapped, evidently a move he’s pulled before on several occasions, all to little avail. But from here things change. Nature, initially a harbinger of evil in the dark forest, is now a testament to God’s holiness, to be venerated above all. El Señor’s faith takes on an almost pagan bent as he speaks to the duality of good and evil in one form. He wants to make God real in the form of this newfound Jesus, and yet also encourages the killing of God as a first step to the divine. He’s all over the place. Perhaps the only continuity comes in his obsession with light, also the name of his deceased wife. She is the holy of holies, and he is adrift without her. Perhaps this is all some sort of masochistic coping mechanism.

The color timing and aesthetic of the world of the film certainly maintains in keeping with the sudden turn for naturalism in the spirituality of this compound. Skies are often impossibly blue and at night the moon and Milky Way loom large and vivid. Rainbows are painted into the background. In its visuals and editing the film looks like a perfume ad in beats, imagery of these earthly angels on horseback as narration mulls the mysteries of the divine. Again, the film doesn’t quite seem to know where it wants to head, repeating the same basic beats time and again as the plot advances, looping back to try and tackle the issue from a different angle. It’s more beautiful than the harshness of the descriptions of this apparently cursed land would have you believe, but just as empty.

The boy and the goat represent sole sources of ambiguity in this film about everything and nothing. Goats have of course Baphomet baggage, and the appearance of the figure in the film remains ambiguous and inconsistent, giving it an otherworldly quality. So too is the boy off-putting in his blankness. He never speaks, and his expression is often one of vague despair. And yet sometimes he seems to have ulterior motives. Is he truly the Devil incarnate, or is he just dealing with the deep trauma of being kidnapped and having his mother assaulted in front of him? Let’s be honest, it’s probably the latter, but the editor would like to pretend it’s not.

Some girl from colombia started a hoax about the boy and the heron

Sorry beforehand for the lack of video but it got deleted and tik tok canibalized the reuploads by debunking the debunking of the debunking.

Chances are you haven't heard about this, but as a colombian i had to answer to the call and make fun of such an obvious lie.

But people believed her?

In a nutshell a lady from colombia uploaded a video explaining her participation in Studio Ghilbi's most recent movie "The boy and the heron" claiming she made 25.000 frames of the movie in hopes that no one would check or know about the 24 fps rule because "Animation is for kids and malnourished artists!!1" she claimed that she talked to miyazaki several times during the production (which was not possible because Takeshi Honda was the supervisor) and that she got hired because her style resembled a lot to Studio Ghilbi's style (which is not a criteria to be hired in any animation house ever).

And here comes the funni!

Most people knew this was a hoax, 24 fps it's a basic principle of cinema and animation. BUT NEWS SITES BELIEVED HER, SHE EVEN GOT INVITED TO SEVERAL UNIVERSITIES TO TALK ABOUT HER EXPERIENCE.

The part that got me and not in the good way was a sponsor for the company she got hired by lying and the fact that ALL of the art on her portfolio is stolen.

Hbomberguy said that Business people see creativity as something that is beneath them and they will lie for their businesses and he was so real for that.

Now it's left to colombian artists to be even more underrepresented in animation and ilustration, so fuck you Geraldine Fernandez
