Review: ‘Poor Things’ is a salacious ‘Frankenstein’ turning Emma Stone into a Golden Globe ‘favourite’

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 23:32:49 GMT

This Sunday night, “Poor Things” will compete for a whopping seven Golden Globes, including Best Comedy/Musical, Best Director for Yorgos Lanthimos, Best Screenplay for Tony McNamara, Best Original Score for Jerskin Fendrix and acting prizes for Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe and Mark Ruffalo.That means you might spend this weekend watching the acclaimed science-fantasy, macabre dramedy that’s now playing in D.C. theaters — that is if you’re up to the challenge of a bizarre, graphic film that certainly won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but will leave even its detractors admitting that it’s some of the year’s finest acting.Based on the 1992 book of the same name by Scottish author Alasdair Gray, “Poor Things” follows a mad scientist fittingly named Dr. Godwin “God” Baxter (Willem Dafoe), who resurrects a Victorian woman who committed suicide by jumping off a bridge. His crude creation is now named Bella Baxter (Emma Ston...

¿Eran tres o 12? ¿Los guiaba una estrella? Lo que de verdad sabemos sobre los Reyes Magos

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 23:32:49 GMT

(CNN Español) — “Entraron en la casa, vieron al niño con su madre María y lo adoraron postrados en tierra. Abrieron sus cofres y le ofrecieron como regalo oro, incienso y mirra”.Basta con leer estas pocas palabras del Evangelio de Mateo para identificar de manera inmediata, y sin asomo de dudas, de quiénes está hablando el texto: son Melchor, Gaspar y Baltasar, los Reyes Magos, que según el relato bíblico salieron en busca del ‘rey de los judíos’ y, guiados por una estrella y tras un encuentro con el cruel Herodes, llegaron hasta él para adorarlo.Sin embargo, en ningún lado de la narración escueta que hace el Evangelio de Mateo de este episodio —es, por cierto, el único de los cuatro Evangelios donde se consigna esta visita— está dicho que sean reyes. Ni que sean magos tal como concebimos el concepto. Ni que sean tres. Ni mucho menos que se llamen Melchor, Gaspar y Baltasar.Incluso entre aquellos que creen que este episodio de la vida de Jesús realmente...
