Es la película del momento en cines y una de las protagonistas de la temporada de premios, proporcionando una mirada diferente sobre Shakespeare y su familia La historia real detrás de 'Hamnet', la nueva película de Paul Mescal: ¿Qué le pasó al hijo de Shakespeare? Hamnet’ se ha convertido en una de las películas del momento, al mismo tiempo que es una de las protagonistas de los Premios Oscar 2026 con ocho nominaciones que incluyen mejor dirección para Chloé Zhao y mejor actriz principal para Jessie Buckley. Una historia que no deja indiferente y que se basa en el libro homónimo de Maggie O’Farrell que fue todo un fenómeno literario en plena pandemia, en la que se narra que narra la historia ficticia de Hamnet Shakespeare, el único hijo del dramaturgo, que falleció a los once años y en la que se imagina cómo el profundo dolor por esta pérdida pudo haber influido en la creación de la tragedia ‘Hamlet’. Si te has quedado con ganas de más después de verla, aquí tienes algunos largometrajes relacionados por el tema que tratan, de una forma u otra. window.marfeel.cmd.push(['multimedia', function(multimedia) { multimedia.initializeItem('yt-Ith7z6FzLe0-4282', 'youtube', 'Ith7z6FzLe0', document.getElementById('yt-Ith7z6FzLe0-4282')); }]); ‘Shakespeare in Love’ (1998) Frente al duelo silencioso que atraviesa ‘Hamnet’, ‘Shakespeare in Love’ propone el reverso luminoso de la creación: el amor, el deseo y el impulso vital que alimentan la escritura. La película adquiere una nueva capa de lectura: ya no es solo el nacimiento de Romeo y Julieta, sino la intuición de que la obra de Shakespeare surge tanto del gozo como de la pérdida, como sucede en ‘Hamnet’. Ambas películas dialogan en ese punto donde la vida íntima se transforma en literatura, aunque una lo haga desde la herida y la otra desde el enamoramiento. window.marfeel.cmd.push(['multimedia', function(multimedia) { multimedia.initializeItem('yt-gk1rTKB6ZF8-1006', 'youtube', 'gk1rTKB6ZF8', document.getElementById('yt-gk1rTKB6ZF8-1006')); }]); ‘Hamlet’ (1996) La adaptación de Kenneth Branagh funciona como el eco trágico que ‘Hamnet’ anticipa en silencio. Es una de las adaptaciones de ‘Hamlet’, la tragedia que Shakespeare escribe en memoria de su hijo fallecido, con mejores críticas y que se erige como la más fiel a su historia, que además también recibió varias nominaciones en los premios Oscar. window.marfeel.cmd.push(['multimedia', function(multimedia) { multimedia.initializeItem('yt-8f39MD3mmzY-1591', 'youtube', '8f39MD3mmzY', document.getElementById('yt-8f39MD3mmzY-1591')); }]); ‘El jardín secreto’ (1993) Al igual que ‘Hamnet’, ‘El jardín secreto’ entiende el duelo infantil como una experiencia corporal y ligada a la naturaleza. La muerte en la película resuena también con la ausencia, un vacío que no se llena con palabras, sino con espacios, rituales y silencios. Ambas historias confían en la tierra, las estaciones y el cuidado lento como vías de sanación, y colocan a los niños en el centro de un proceso de duelo que es íntimo, pero profundamente transformador. window.marfeel.cmd.push(['multimedia', function(multimedia) { multimedia.initializeItem('yt-13czbJPP9ZQ-4093', 'youtube', '13czbJPP9ZQ', document.getElementById('yt-13czbJPP9ZQ-4093')); }]); ‘Bright Star’ (2009) ‘Bright Star’, dirigida por Jane Campion, comparte una delicadeza extrema para filmar el amor atravesado por la muerte.

(The Center Square) – Illinois lawmakers are considering legislation to limit what recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program can buy, a proposal supporters say encourages healthier choices while critics worry about access and affordability. Senate Bill 2908, introduced by state Sen. Neil Anderson, would direct the Illinois Department of Human Services to seek federal approval to bar SNAP benefits from being used on candy, sugary drinks and other highly processed foods. Anderson said the bill “has been necessary for quite a while” to ensure “taxpayer dollars for SNAP aren’t being spent on junk food.” “For low-income people on SNAP, we want to make sure that they are getting the best food possible nutritionally, so that they’re not chronically ill, whether it’s obesity or diabetes or what have you,” said Anderson. Under the bill, IDHS would oversee implementation if federal approval is granted, though the department would operate within the guidelines established by the USDA. “They would have some say in the oversight, but it would be pretty narrow based on the USDA,” Anderson said. IDHS did not immediately respond to The Center Square’s request for comment. Ohio is moving forward with plans to restrict the purchase of carbonated, sugary drinks and potentially other high-sugar items like candy using SNAP benefits, with new rules anticipated to take effect this year. Anderson emphasized that the bill does not take away personal choice. “This doesn’t mean that people can’t buy, you know, sugary snacks or soda. They would just have to do so with their own money and not SNAP,” he said. “The data was there just to show how chronically ill these people are and how SNAP benefits or taxpayer funds shouldn’t be contributing to that.” Critics say residents in food deserts, where stores like 7-Eleven may be the only option, could face limited access to groceries. Anderson acknowledged the issue but said the state is taking steps to address it. “Even at 7-Elevens, there are still healthier options than candy and soda,” he said. “Obviously we need to do more, but we’re working on that legislatively, and the governor has had some funding to address food deserts in recent budgets.” Illinois has dedicated $20 million through the Illinois Grocery Initiative to help address food deserts by supporting existing stores and encouraging new grocery development. Additional grant rounds have provided millions more for projects, including roughly $7.9 million in 2024 and over $10 million in 2025 for store upgrades and new locations. Supporters of SNAP reforms often argue the measures can encourage workforce participation by promoting healthier populations, while critics worry about limiting access to food. Anderson said the legislation strikes a balance. “This is not taking away SNAP benefits,” he said. “It’s simply saying that it’s not going to pay for things that are directly, according to the health organization, contributing to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension. Healthy people are people that are able to work.” Anderson also addressed concerns about cost, arguing that restricting sugary drinks and ultra-processed desserts would not leave recipients without affordable options. “I don’t subscribe to that argument,” he said. “There’s plenty of healthier options. This is just getting rid of the narrowly focused sugary drinks, candy, and ultra-processed desserts. Outside of that, there’s still plenty of affordable options.”

Today, over 120 European and international civil society groups sent a letter to EU leaders to urge them to cancel negotiation and implementation of the US-EU trade deal and reduce reliance on US fossil fuels in solidarity with those threatened by Trump’s fossil-fueled imperialism in Latin America and Greenland. Signatories include Oil Change International, Greenpeace International, Conexiones Climáticas, European Trade Justice Coalition, and the EU-LAT network. In July 2025, Trump used the threat of economically devastating tariffs to ensure the EU would agree to import $750 billion of US energy products over the next three years. Many analysts say this deal risks creating yet another dangerous dependency for Europe while leading to the weakening or abandoning of crucial climate and human rights legislation in the bloc. The letter argues that every Euro spent on US fossil fuels, and every fossil fuel investment made by European companies and banks in the United States, fuels Trump’s authoritarian agenda at home and his imperial ambitions abroad. Increased reliance on US fossil fuels will also worsen the climate crisis, spread toxic pollution in frontline communities, and is expected to raise energy prices for EU households. The letter concludes that the EU must courageously oppose Trump’s fossil fuel agenda and defend people, our planet, and the rule of law. It demands EU leaders: -Stand in solidarity with the Latin American nations threatened by the United States and other manifestations of imperial force, and to stand against all forms of oppression affecting local communities, as in the specific case of Venezuela. -Stand in solidarity with Greenland. It is up to its people, and only them, to decide on their future. -Put forth a motion at the United Nations that condemns the US’s blatant violations of international law -Immediately cancel negotiations and implementation of the US-EU trade deal -Engage with EU Member States to renew the European Green Deal and establish a binding roadmap for the phase-out of fossil gas,in particular US liquefied natural gas (LNG) -Engage with EU Member States to appropriately terminate existing and prevent new long-term contracts for the import or financing of US LNG -Defend the existing EU Methane Regulation and ensure a strong and robust implementation that applies to imports -Support the First International Conference on the Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels, organized by the governments of Colombia and the Netherlands Quotes: “The EU has shifted its energy dependence from one authoritarian regime to another. Under Trump, the U.S. has become a rogue state that violates international law and bullies sovereign nations into submitting to its ‘energy dominance’ agenda. The EU must stop wasting money on risky, expensive U.S. fossil fuels, which threaten climate goals, put people at greater risk of climate disasters, and harm communities with toxic pollution. The EU is at a fork in the road: it can follow the U.S. down a volatile, destructive path or it can forge its own course toward stability. It can save billions, build a resilient economy, and ensure its long-term energy security and independence through a just transition to renewable energy.” Myriam Douo, False Solutions Senior Campaigner, Oil Change International “There’s nothing clean about US LNG. This industry has destroyed wetlands, damaged fishermen’s livelihoods, and condemned Gulf South communities like mine to higher rates of heart conditions, asthma, and cancer. We’re also on the frontlines of hurricanes and flooding made worse by continued fossil-fuel dependency Europe keeps importing. The EU must side with communities like mine, not the fossil fuel executives bankrolling Trump, by ending its reliance on U.S. gas.” James Hiatt, Executive Director of For a Better Bayou “If there was ever a time to realize that Europe needs to hold its ground and resist the fossil fueled imperialism of both Putin and Trump, than this time is definitely now! Switching one foolish fossil dependency for another is like switching from Vodka to Whiskey (or rather Bourbon) while claiming to get sober. Europe must stop lying to itself and get real. Real sovereignty is fossil free!” Andy Gheorghiu, freelance climate campaigner, consultant, and initiator of the letter
