Oh what a mess of a movie
Where to start.
The good; opening scene is reminiscent of bilbo sitting under tree at the start of the LOTR and is totally unrealistic but then gets creative and shows some real promise as it delves into the trenches which are sadly too sanitised and unrealistic and more reminiscent of a video game than real life. And that's the theme throughout the movie.
The bad: this movie wasn't written by anyone who ever experienced war. Period. So many scenes and just plain wrong at best and insulting to the soldiers who fought during this war.
The ugly: so much of the Movie needed to be chopped out. The story line could have been something amazing but it's constantly sanitised and filled with little sub-stories which just distract and annoy. The soldiers of the time seldom if ever cried. They seldom if ever spoke to commanding officers.
This movie is terrible. A cheap video game meets BBC wokefest. I think the only people who enjoyed this must grown up in a time of no war and that's an insult to those who fought and died in it.
Tesla (2020)
A movie about Tesla that isn't.
Many movies are written from the perspective of a third person and while some do it well, Tesla does this to its Peril. The movie has dozens of technical errors which I guess are supposed to be ironic but just detract from the story. A story which jumps all over the place and never feels settled or direct.
Ethan looks like he's not the full quid and adds very little to the rest of a cast who add even less. An amazing man deserves more than this, at least Elon Musks tweets are entertaining, Tesla the movie is not.
Hello, Privilege. It's Me, Chelsea (2019)
Painful. And not in the good way.
Remember when you were at school and you had to study something you knew you'd never use in real life?
I watched this with an open mind but after only 15 minutes I discovered the producers of this show made it a very closed mind.
This program will go down in history with the "flat Earthers" as an example of how dumb intelligent people can be.
Unless you've been living under a rock you'll most likely know the premise of white privilege. But this program debunks the theory more than it supports it.
The movies's subject doesn't understand her privilege has little to do with her skin colour and way more to do with her class. She doesn't debate or discuss, she just lectures and rants.
Even the examples she presents have more to do with class and less if anything to do with ethnicity. But I guess an open dialogue and varied examples would have disproved her theory so I understand why it was so biased.
There was no talk of poor, uneducated whites and struggles they deal with which are no different to those poor coloured folk endure.
This makes for painful watching to all but the most far left-wing zealots who believe we are all the product of our gendered, racial or religious category.
