A Monster Calls
A MONSTER CALLS
A Monster Calls is an extraordinary and marvelous
film directed by the Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona. The main cast is
formed by Lewis Macdougall as Connor, and the Oscars nominees Sigourney Weaver
(as Connor’s grandma) and Felicity Jones ( as Connor’s mother). Connor seeks
help for a tree monster to get over his single mum’s cancer.
After his
parents got divorced, connor has to look after his mother. Moreover, he has to
cope with his autoritary grandmother and the fact that he is bullied at school.
Trying to get over his fears, he calls a monster who tells him three stories.
At first,
Connor doesn’t understand the reason why the monster tells him that stories,
apparently useless for Connor. But at the end, when Connor has to tell the
fourth storyto the monster, he refuses to say what he thinks out loud, but
finally he reveals his thoughts: he only wans her mother to die so she doesn’t
sufeer more.
This film is
based on the named-after novel written by Patrick Ness, and we totally
recommend the film and the book, both. It is so emotional and it shows a life
lesson. Everyone should see this masterpiece!!
