Tessa Young (Josephine Langford) is an 18-year-old who has just started college. With modest clothes and quite naive, she is introduced to the world of parties through her roommate, Steph (Khadijha Red Thunder), much more liberal. Soon he meets Hardin (Hero Fiennes Tiffin), a rebellious young man who denies love, despite having read the main novels on the subject. Gradually the two approach, initiating a burning passion.
One of the most awaited films among fans of the books created by Anna Todd arrives in theaters.
Unfortunately, the adaptation arrives a little late and follows the pattern of other books that became movies and failed to explore the full potential of their stories.
There are many teen movies that seem to just want to cash in on them.
After is bad in several ways. Starting with the cast that doesn't deliver a miserable feeling so that we can create empathy. They are cliché and badly used characters.
The main character is beautiful, intelligent, a good daughter, she had a problem with her father who abandoned her, she only had a boyfriend in her life who is more a friend than her love, she wears “correct” clothes and her dream is to work with books, but You only go to business school to get a job.
Do you know any characters that aren't like that? Is every girl's dream to work in a publishing house?
Hardin, on the other hand, is the bad boy who wears black - he has a terrible wardrobe -, who doesn't smile, gets angry easily and unnecessarily, has a tattoo and is rich. Seriously?
The friends are lesbians with dyed hair and piercings.
This is an outdated style and it's high time they stopped it.
No girl needs to be soft-spoken and withdrawn to be smart. We can see this in strong women in the music industry, artists, politicians and even writers.
Same for bad boys. Keeping the James Dean style is a mid-20th century thing. And still paint with black clothes and tattoos? Not every bad boy wears black and has a tattoo. That by the way, could someone explain the reason for them? Because the movie doesn't explain. And yet to continue with the “standards”, is to continue to score lesbians being punks.
The script is also poor, as it is clear in several long and tedious moments, with the couple simply looking at each other and nothing happening. Or put the soundtrack to complete the thoughts and feelings of the characters. Already demonstrating that if it is necessary to put on a song to show how they feel, it is because the performance was poorly crafted.
In addition, the script fails to explore many more than interesting parts of the work, which are the abuse relationships. This is simply thrown away and After becomes just another movie that looks like a fanfilm or video created by fans to honor the “team anything”.
Among so many failures, fans of the books will be disappointed and keep saying all the time - and rightly so - that a certain part of the book is missing, that it didn't happen that way among so many other points.
After unfortunately doesn't say what he came for and just turns teenagers into self-interested and meaningless thoughts. One of these parts is the protagonist several times saying that he doesn't like his father because he has money and his mother suffers in a dive, but he continues to live without any problem with his fortune and still helps his girlfriend with a beautiful place to live. live after she fights with her mother. And Hardin's mother is not even shown and we are left in a vacuum, like so many other meaningless scenes.
There are so many flaws, that even those who have never read one of the books will not want to run to know Anna Todd's work.
This is a warning for the producers. It's not just a famous book that makes a movie.
