The recent film from Studio Ghibli has been, as usual, a success, being The Boy and the Heron nominated for the Golden Globes, a recognition that is not given to any feature film. But, today, this is not the focus of our words, but a recent controversy related to the film… a girl of Colombian nationality who has said in social networks, to be part of the creation of this, exclaiming to have done a monstrosity of work behind this, but, is this true?
Colombian woman hangs on the fame of the movie “The Boy and the Heron”.
Colombian Geraldine Fernandéz has proudly said on different occasions that she was part of the Ghibli Studio film, The Boy and the Heron, not only that, but that she was involved in the creation of 25,000 frames, a barbarity for any illustrator. This, at the beginning for the media of the South American country, was a total pride, but as the days went by, some users who have watched the film, began to post against these exclamations of the Colombian.
A user on Twitter/X sentences the Colombian with a precise statement: “unless she has changed her name or has not been included in the credits for some reason, she does not appear in any of the foreign names”. To reinforce his words, the user attached an image with the complete credits of the movie The boy and the Heron.
In the country’s media, after fans of the film offer some pressure on Geraldine, who users when analyzing their social networks expressed their displeasure, “She is an illustrator, but has not published any illustration”, making that, as the days passed, the Colombian will progressively confess that she had not done what she said. To our misfortune, that this kind of controversies about this immaculate film have appeared in this way, is a little sad, but it is certain, this feature film deserves the best, in our page we have reviewed this masterpiece for all of you, from this note.
We know that it has become a trend that Hispanic American illustrators, animators and designers who have participated in anime or anime feature films have become popular, but Geraldine Fernandez has exceeded the limits of this. Now, after being exposed for her lies about her outstanding participation in The boy and the Heron, she has deleted every one of her profiles, networks, everything. You can see the final interview where she confesses the truth of her words in the middle of the media, you can see it here.
Many cases we have seen in previous occasions that have wanted to take fame by doing things of this nature, exaggerate or lie, this girl is really a designer, but, as a designer of the bunch just did her job, but to take fame of this she made a screen exaggerating her contributions. We can’t comment any further, as the public and the facts speak for themselves, the repercussion of this, to the disgrace of Hispanics, is to put the name of those of us more on this side of the globe in a bad light.
The Boy and the Heron is a feature film that becomes the best that has been released in recent years, which is just as enigmatic as the studio’s previous works, offering us a profound story that has taken everyone’s heart, being the last work of Hayao Miyazaki. It tells us the story of a young boy who, at the age of 12, must face a new environment after the loss of his most loved one, his mother.
A few minutes into the film we are introduced to a talking Heron, who claims to be Mahito’s (the protagonist) mother, something that keeps him disturbed, as for him it is something he has not been able to overcome. This film presents us with a struggle between fantasy and the reality of overcoming the grief of a little boy, who must find an answer to the questions that are asked throughout The Boy and the Heron, and is accompanied by a soundtrack that takes these feelings to a new level.
