Every single day I think the same,I would like to talk with him for at least 5 minutes.In that time,I would like to tell my dad him that he was the best father that I could ever have.I reckon that I talk with myself in silence,simulating one of our conversations.I usually look forward to seeing you in the sky.And frequently I say ‘ Papa,if you could see that..’.Unfortunately,my father is not here,but there is a frequency which will always connect us.This film is a wonderful example of this connection.
Frecuency is an American science-fiction film.It was directed by Gregory Hoblit and written by Toby Emmerich in 2000.This film received positive reviews and its budget was highly increased in its grossed.I’d like to point out that not only was its strong and famous cast which the key to its success,but also its extraordinary effects of the temporally-displaced conversation between father and son.These interacts don’t take place all at once.It means that the speed of some actions in the past seems synced to the speed of the effects appearing in the present,while others can take only a fraction of a second in the past.These techniques were revolutionary at that time.
After 30 years,John Sullivan (Jim Caviezel) hasn’t overcome his father’s passing away.His father Frank (Dennis Quiad) passed away while he was working as a fireman.John lives in the same flat,and one day he discovers an old frequency radio.John has just suffered a breakup and he decides to keep in touch with his ex-girlfriend.Yet,due to an unusual Aurora Borealis activity,John achieves to talk with his father the day before of the fire.His son tries to avoid that his father doesn’t go to the building in order to avoid the dramatic incident.Although it is difficult to get that Frank to understand that he is talking with his future adult son.At first glance,he is reluctant to follow this advice.
Frecuency is an intelligent science-fiction thriller that also happens to be a solid father/son movie.It probably won’t rewrite the history of time-bending movies,but there is not doubt that this movie doesn’t let you indifferent.
..I may not know who he is,but I don’t know where he’s gonna be and how he’s gonna get there.
