Animal (2023)
Macabre and gratuitous in violence
SRV has made a technically brilliant film imo, but he has let loose violence and macabre in favor of solid story telling which could have restricted the movie to a 150 mins instead of the 200+ or so running time.
I miss movies from Sriram Raghavan who in similar dark themes created Badlapur without the need for extreme gore.
Having said that as much as I am disappointed by recent releases, Animal and The Archies, its a time to celebrate the diversity of content.
I keep faith in that series like The Railway Men can still produce nail biting content without being excessive with drama or violence.
MH370: The Lost Flight (2022)
So called "experts" with their wild theories
MH370 is a fascinating subject, and Netflix made a juicy documentary with self proclaimed "experts".
This is an excellent manipulation of viewers - who are keen to listen to possibilities on the reasons for disappearnce of a large aircraft.
"Experts" are working in their own thought bubbles, questioning all official statements / theories, which sounds great - until you start questioning all the gaping holes in this theories.
None of these theories has been tested severely as the official statements by government agencies.
Assumptions made without any verifications - eg: one of experits asks - why did an Australian air base in Malaysia did not detect MH370 flying over its base?
At face value it seems very sensible, but there would be a very simple explanation behind it.
Another theory - Plane got "hacked" by a passener and made to travel north to Kazakhstan.
Mostly its frustration and anger by the poor families who have lost their dear ones and some of them who are now chasing these theories to explain their loss.
How did a jumbo jet the size of 777 not be found in this day and age? That is fascinating question and provides a ripe ground for all possible theories.
Maybe 777 is just a very small object in the vast expanse of our Earth, occupied largely by oceans - in areas that no one dares to travel.
Without firm evidence its rich pickings for this kind of documentary. All very manipulative.
