The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind (2019)
Unsatisfying
Heartwarming this is not. The first 95% of the film is depressing. When it finally gets to something positive, after it just dragged on and on with one depressing thing after another, they take about 4 minutes to celebrate. It left me wondering why I watched it for so long as the squeeze was not worth the juice. Not even close. Spend some time finding a better film to watch. Just because it's true doesn't mean it's heartwarming.
The acting is good, it is a very well done film but I wish I had spent my time watching something else. This could have been a much shorter film with a much longer and meaningful celebration of the triumph at the end.
Class Action Park (2020)
Loved the 80's never went to Action Park
I loved the nostalgia of this documentary. The 80's were a great a great time to grow up in, pre cell phones and pre internet. I don't agree with one of the final commentaries where it is stated that it led to time on the couch with a shrink. It was a wonderful time to be an adolescent where not everyone was given a trophy and parents weren't overprotective. I recommend it to anyone that it looking for an interesting documentary as well as a trip down memory lane of the 80s.
Confirmation (2016)
Biased
This movie was biased. The film focuses primarily on Hill. Comparatively, it gave little thought and screen time to how Clarence Thomas felt and what he was dealing with. The end of the movie showed the true agenda of continuing to try to discredit Thomas by overwhelmingly showing those who thought Hill told the truth. As someone who watched this unfold in real time, it was not an unbiased presentation of occurred.
