“The Chosen One” is a series based on the graphic novel “American Jesus” written by Mark Millar and Peter Gross. It stars Bobby Luhnow, Dianna Agron, Tenoch Huerta Mejía, and Carlos Bardem. A series developed by Everardo Gout, Leopoldo Gout, and Jorge Dorantes.

Regarding religious themes and personal faith, let each individual choose their own beliefs, we will not delve into that aspect. Here we discuss movies and series, and seen from that perspective, “The Chosen One” is an excellently produced work that surprises from the very first scene with its stylish and meticulously crafted cinematography, camera movements, and shot selection.

It’s safe to say it’s a well-made production.

Synopsis

The plot follows a 12-year-old boy, Jodie, in Baja California, who discovers he possesses Jesus-like powers. He then must decide whether to accept his calling and carry out his fate.

About the series

There is something marvelous about the world of cinema and art in general, and that is the ability of a work (in any format) to respond to different viewers’ perspectives in very distinct ways. Some may see “The Chosen One” as a series about religion – which it may very well be – while others may interpret it as a provocation. However, what we can discuss is the quality of the ideas presented from a cinematic point of view.

“The Chosen One” is a good series that can be enjoyed and has a lot to say and with multiple layers. It dares to push boundaries, playing with the genres of horror and drama, intertwining them and bringing out the best from each, achieving a delicate balance to ultimately attain what we can call personality, or its own style. “The Chosen One” knows how to assert itself, stand out, entertain, and above all, capture the interest of audiences because it skillfully utilizes diverse elements and manages to balance them for those seeking a well-told story and a high-quality production.

It will certainly spark discussion, thus the production company succeeds twofold: it will generate controversy and provoke debate due to its thematic contents. However, we will not be the the ones to discuss that angle.

One thing we will always emphasize, is this: regardless of the discourse and theme – even Oscar Wilde would agree – things must be done with style, and “The Chosen One” manages to do just that, bringing forth a distinctive voice while remaining is quite entertaining.

Avec des thèmes religieux et la foi de chacun. . à chacun ses croyances, nous ne nous en mêlons pas. Ici, nous commentons les films et les séries, et “L’Élu” se distingue par sa production excellente et surprenante dès la première scène, avec son traitement cinématographique stylisé et élaboré, ses mouvements de caméra et le choix des plans.

C’est ce qu’on appelle une bonne production.

Synopsis

À propos de la série

Il y a quelque chose de merveilleux dans le cinéma et l’art en général, et c’est que chaque œuvre (quelle que soit sa forme) a la capacité de répondre aux différentes perspectives du spectateur de manière très différente. Certains verront dans “L’Élu” une série sur la religion – ce qui peut être le cas – et d’autres la comprendront comme une provocation. Mais ce dont nous pouvons parler, c’est de la qualité des idées exposées et de la proposition sur le plan cinématographique.

“L’Élu” est une bonne série, de celles qui sont appréciées et qui ont beaucoup à dire à tous les niveaux, avec beaucoup d’audace, jouant avec les genres de l’horreur et du drame, les mélangeant et en tirant le meilleur de chacun, parvenant à trouver un équilibre difficile pour finalement atteindre ce que l’on pourrait appeler une personnalité ou un style propre : “L’Élu” sait se faire valoir, se démarquer, divertir et surtout intéresser les audiences car elle dispose de nombreux éléments avec lesquels elle sait jouer et qu’elle parvient à équilibrer pour ceux qui recherchent une histoire bien racontée et une bonne production.

Et elle fera parler d’elle, donc le producteur réussit doublement : elle suscitera la controverse et la polémique en raison de sa thématique. Nous n’entrerons pas dans ce débat. Mais nous insisterons toujours sur une chose : quel que soit le discours – et même Oscar Wilde pourrait être d’accord – il faut faire les choses avec style, et “L’Élu” a une voix stylée et est très divertissante.

Profitez-en bien.
