What is a fool story context review (FSC)?

Fool story context is a subgenre of film reviews that I came up with during the COVID-19 pandemic. With creativity, I seek to improve the plot of movies by introducing, on the one hand, digressions that enrich the main story and, on the other, applying narrative ellipsis to less relevant content. I was inspired by movie reviews from internet portals like IMDB and Filmaffinity, travel feature films and postmodern literature. Given the genre of film reviewed, I can assure you that the object and motivation of the FSC is to stand out the performance of little-known artists and filmmakers.

The FSC is closely related to the classic conception of film reviews, but it adds a lot of new information to the script and provides a large amount of data related to shooting locations. It is also a parody of the style of film critics and their thoughtful essays, making indiscriminate use of those words typical of those who raise their pinky when drinking their glass of champagne.I use irony and proverbs to sweeten the prose, and the photo captions are written in a humorous tone. The beginnings are located in mid-2020, weeks after the coronavirus epidemic that paralyzed the European continent.

As for its characteristic features, the Fool story context analyzes and slightly alters the main story, transforming the initial work into a new product. In my opinion, the vision that an FSC writer should put on paper is a mirror of his most personal interpretation. It differs by a marked expressive freedom and by including paragraphs with excessive surrealism. The image accompanies the entire writing, providing the dynamism and audiovisual component that young readers of the 21st century demand.

Regarding the content, the Fool Story Context is a genre of film essay that stands out for some very peculiar distinctive features:

- Documentary and geographical contribution of the shooting locations: coordinates, referenced photographs, aerial images, etc.

- Quotes and winks to great scenes and characters from celluloid history.

- Highlight all the passive product placements that appear in the film, linking to brands and companies.

- Additional information related to vehicles, hotels, tourist attractions and other objects that appear in the props.

- Audiovisual content in the form of images, graphic design and video to complement the essay.

- Brushstrokes of multidisciplinary knowledge: history, law, journalism or medicine.

- Use of images generated by AI when the new approach to the story requires them, with the aim of giving packaging to the script.

The aesthetic of the FSC stands out for its dynamic and easy-to-read lyrics, and it uses technology and creativity to build a new approach to the film, differing from the original conception of the filmmaker.

Influences:

    Early in the 21st century, THE INTERNET MOVIE DATABASE users opinions of movies evolution into a COMMENTARY phase - virtually identical to other film summary and known as Movie reviews.

    MOVIE REVIEWS were superior in viralism and reach, and at least equal in content to the classic film reviews from which they were inspired. 

    Movie reviews were used as SEO content in the risky positioning of other websites all over the planet.

    After the bloody spread of COVID in Western Europe, I decided that I didn't want to settle for just having my own introspective view of films: that gave me a near-death feeling. 

    An special blog with the name of TROPICAL LUSCIOUS DREAMS began to cover the films in a new short story, ignoring the superfluous scenes and reinforcing other elements and characters that the original director had not treated with enthusiasm; as if I were a mere invasive artist. 

    This was not called creation. 

    It was called Fool story context.

Crítica de cine: Private Tropical 38 "Mother and daughter banal vacation" (2008) (Sabrina Feet, Angelina Move, Daria Shower)

  Sorprende la cantidad de personas que cruzan el Atlántico para pasarse una semana entera recostados sobre una tumbona de ratán, sin salir del resort del lujo que han escogido en un catálogo promocional y con el único afán de descansar y de buscar una tranquilidad digna de la piscina de Fuentecerrada, Teruel. Aquí en Europa disponemos también de unas playas alucinantes, tanto en España (véase Formentera o la Costa Brava) como en otros países como Portugal, Grecia, Croacia o en islas como Córcega y Cerdeña... ¿Quién en su sano juicio se embute en un asiento de clase turista para viajar a República Dominicana y disfrutar de unas calas similares? ¿De verdad las personas toman un vuelo de 9 horas o incluso pasajes con escala, para únicamente tomar el sol?... La respuesta es que sí. La banalidad, amigo lector, ha conquistado a la sociedad actual.

El drama de los ERE sobrevuela esta película de principio a fin, narrando las últimas vacaciones de unas compañeras de profesión, que se han visto afectadas por un reajuste de personal en la aerolínea para la que trabajaban. La filosofía del "carpe diem" ha calado hondo en sus corazones y deciden ponerla en práctica en la isla caribeña. Un planteamiento magnífico para este clásico de cine de tarde.

Movie review: Private Tropical 19 "Deadly Love in Paradise" (2005) (Sunny Day, Laura Prion, Jane Cruising, Belicia Steer)

  A very brief panoramic view of a subtly colonial enclave places us directly in the paradisiacal destination. In a matter of seconds, we will be immersed in a matrimonial argument full of long faces and rudeness. There are many open wounds in the couple we see on screen, and their stormy relationship will be the common thread throughout the film.

  It's midnight. Eve of a wedding in style. The engaged couple strolls through a manicured French garden in Barre Trigano Castle, accompanied by a third woman. - "It is my parents' house" says the future wife. This luxurious mansion has little of a house and a lot of a palace. Everything is going great, even the relationship with the sister-in-law seems to be quite cordial and the atmosphere is calm.

Crítica de cine: Private Tropical 41 "British Virgin Ashes" (2008) (Keisha Bane, Leigh Dogan, Crystal Wink)

  Los estertores de un anciano inglés recostado en su lecho de muerte nos han traído hasta aquí. Al parecer, un moribundo pronunció tres cortas palabras en su lengua natal... eran su impulso terrenal antes de partir y, a la vez, su última voluntad. British... virgin... ashes, articuló no sin esfuerzo el septuagenario James Logan en la quietud de su hogar situado en la campiña de Dorset. Lejos quedaban ya sus noches de juerga en el The Royal Arcade Ballrooms de Boscombe, nada más regresar del, por aquel entonces obligatorio servicio militar (El National Service se abolió en 1963), sin embargo, su legendaria atracción por las mujeres veinteañeras seguía intacta cincuenta años más tarde.

Crítica de cine: Private Tropical 34 "Caribbean Sea Conspiracy" (2007) (Lauryn Way, Carla Box, Ellen Haint, Tarra Wait, Cindy Collar)

Un acusado tono sepia de la secuencia de apertura nos indica que estamos presenciando un evento del pasado. Es un flashback aderezado con una música digna de Ocean´s Eleven que acontece en un acogedor chalet de estilo antillano situado en Guadeloupe. Esa tonalidad es acertada hasta tal punto, que incluso la relacionamos de forma inconsciente con el calor húmedo de determinadas latitudes tropicales. Un hombre maduro con ínfulas, sombrero Panamá y puro Davidoff aguarda sentado en una mullida hamaca, al lado de una piscina calmada como plato de sopa abandonada a medio comer. Algo horrible está a punto de ocurrir...

La película comienza con una  visión panorámica de Nápoles  al final de la tarde, sobre la Avenida Antonio Gramsci, a lo largo de la playa Mappatella, con el Castell d´l Ovo al fondo. En una casa palaciega napolitana, decorada con aire neoclásico, una pareja se despide. El pobre Alessandro se marcha a un viaje de trabajo, al sombrío y desolador Kiev, quién sabe si a revisar el sarcófago de la central de Chernobil. No parece ser un viaje atractivo.
