Sankuchuari -seiiki- (2023)
Anime Trope-y Sumo
The way the character and story elements were handled are borrowed heavily from Japanese manga and anime tropes, in that many of the premises and representations are larger than life and exaggerated. That can be good or bad depending on the viewer, and their familiarity with those storytelling devices and characterizations. In my opinion, it worked really well with Sanctuary in most instances to dramatize the story and embellish upon plot and character elements. This unique version of the anti-hero to hero origin story and progression hasn't been told in context of sumo before, and you'll be rooting for specific characters and empathizing with them as the season unfolds.
What Happened on the Moon? - An Investigation Into Apollo (2000)
Absolute Drivel
This film is a fascinating watch if you want to understand the minds of the unintelligent men who believe the moon landings were faked. So much time was spent on arguments that were circumstantial with easily a plausible alternate explanation, or arguments that fell apart with even the tiniest bit of scrutiny.
Many if the arguments are based on images taken from non-original sources, which they then claim their issues are because NASA is hiding the truth. It's just sad to watch, especially when doing a modicum of research would yield an understanding of the huge scope of the Apollo program, involving 400,000+ individuals, and the impossibility of keeping this all a secret.
Spoiler: We went to the moon. Deal with it.
