From the very beginning, it might seem like we are dealing with a horror series, but nothing could be further from the truth. Because Curse (Curse in Spanish) is an acidic parody of reality shows, influencers, and similar creatures born in this society of appearances and forced ostentation. It also has the advantage of starring Emma Stone, who is triumphing with her premiere on the big screen these days. Poor Creatures and why nominated for this year’s Oscars. The first part of this will be, I think, the only season we have in January. sky show time and this week the remaining episodes will come that will give us the end of the story.
In The Curse, Stone plays the host of a reality show launched with her husband (Nathan Fielder) in a program to rehabilitate abandoned houses and buildings in a town new mexico in the name Spanish and this turns into this ecological houses with the message of renewing and developing the society in which they invest. Everything was aimed at selling those dream houses and the shops next to them to the poor. stance To upload a photo of coffee Instagram. Although from the first moment we suspected that the intentions of the noble couple hosting the program were not as noble or charitable as they claimed.

Thus we find a format closer to a mockumentary or any reality show. We are in a series where we will not experience any boiling or unexpected scenario changes. Music and soundtrack are minimized. It gives us the feeling that we are facing a real story.
All buildings sold by heroes facade made of mirrors. The scene before the credits in each episode ends with the image distorted as if we were in front of one of those fairground mirrors. an existence The television camera has the same distortion effect Each of these mirrors and none of the heroes behave the same way when they know they are being recorded. The truth doesn’t matter, what the camera shows matters.
The main couple wants a reality show that aims to record what good people they are and how well they do everything. Of course, having a camera that collects everything every day ends up revealing exactly what you want to hide. Especially since the third leg of the series is a television producer (by Benny Safdie) those who implement the slogan are unscrupulous Don’t let reality bother you with a good headline and combine objects in any way with an easy click. Many times, we see how the heroes turn to the cameras when they see themselves capturing an intimate moment or doing things that no one should see. Even though they swear that the cameras and microphones are off, we all know that this is not the case.
Already in the first episode, the husband shows his worst side resorts to violence in front of a journalist who starts asking his wife disturbing things. He will then try to buy that tape in order to destroy it. But best of all, he films himself giving a huge bill to a girl begging on the street. She then tries to take it back when he tries to take her change. This is the moment when the girl unleashes the curse that gives the series its name. The heroes don’t know if he really has the evil eye on them.
As the plot progresses we will soon learn about Emma Stone’s character and how she tries to look like she is doing the right thing every time she is recorded. His smile can freeze you. One of the most revealing scenes is when he has one of those few moments typical of any sugar-saturated romantic movie. She thinks it’s so cool that she wants to repeat the situation, but she records it all on her cell phone. The difference between one moment and the next is artificiality. So we oscillate between absurdity and the shame of others.
