I didn´t like it. It was boring, repetitive and trivial. To tell that story, a 3-hour movie is senseless. Besides, It seemed to me that it was made in a hurry. Past Bond´s movies are much better.

This movie is not simply about getting drunk and having fun. It argues about the purpose of education in our current society which is only concerned on developing technical and specific skills in a world which has been becoming more stressful, boring and depressing, in other words, dehumanized, day by day and faster.

As a matter of fact, it is about the human struggle to survive and overcome the worst living conditions. In order to do that, it discusses about the possibilities of having entrepreneurship and partnership (and solidarity) strengthening each other.

This was my first comment:

"I´ve just watched Tenet and, honestly, I don´t know yet if I can say I liked it. By the end, I started to develop better impressions. However, I found it a little bit confusing from the beginning to the half of it. I guess I need to watch it at least once more to come to a clear conclusion. Anyway, it was pretty entertaining."

My new comment:

FANTASTIC ! You really have to watch it at least twice and it is also true that subtitles may help to understand the complex parts, especially when the dialogues involves theories of physics. Above all, the tip is watching it more than once. I´ve never faced such a challenge like this movie posits before. The script is really brilliant ! One of the best movies I´ve ever seen in my entire life !

It resembles The Americans, emphasizing personal and psychological dramas beyond firing-fightings and murders. It is a good espionage TV Series, but it is not as breathtaking as The Americans is. By the way, I´ve watched the latter for uncountable times and it is by far not only better than the finnish series, but also than all the other similar ones. I don´t know, I guess the cast is not as great as The Americans´. The final episode could´ve been better as well. Anyway, I hope the second season will be better.

I watched this fantastic TV series by the end of the 90´s on MTV and, up to now, it is modern and revolutionary ! Definitely, it is not for kids. Actually, it is the only sort of animation that I like, mixing espionage, sci-fi and futuristic themes which are somehow plausible.

Some weeks ago, I watched this classic again. I don´t know how many times I did this. Maybe unconsciously, the fact is that I came to the conclusion that Highlander is actually marked by many references to the geopolitical moment which the world was facing at the middle of the 80´s because of the Cold War between Soviet Union and United States. Pay attention and you will see it too ! For instance, where does the vilain come from ? He is very strong and gets stronger destroyng his opponents. He threatens the humankind future and only Highlander can beat him ! Anyway, "there can be only one", which means Capitalism and not Socialism. There is even a scene in which there is a guy wearing a shirt with clear and negative references to USSR. He himself attacks the vilain, but is brutally defeated, I mean, killed. In summary, directly or not, it is an allegory to the Cold War.

I´ve always liked the time travel theme in movies. This is a very good one in my opinion. It resembles a little bit 1980´s "Somewhere in Time" stared by Christopher Reeve. Above all, it makes me wonder about the possibilities of seeing the future or the past again just changing the way we define and use our language. It definitely influenced me to study about the fascinatiing world of linguistics. By the way, it has a good message about solidarity and union among us beyond nationalities, especially in these days which are marked by regressive ideas across the world. Not even the ongoing pandemic seems to make us think in a different perspective, I mean, as Humankind.

I didn´t know this TV series until last month. It is not bad, but it is not good enough. I find the concept is great. At first, once I love these kinds of programs, I was quite excited and interested. The main problem is that it is hard to show these "investigations" as real ones, using actors and actresses. This way, it seems fake inevitably, confusing the audience about what is true or not, even when Wolfe tries hard to do so. By the way, he and his assistant are better actors than the ones they hire to play.

I have just watched Bacurau and I found it a great movie ! Very well filmed and directed. For non-Brazilians, it may seem surreal. However, the story is quite related to Brazilian politics as it ever was and it is: based on violence and exploitation.

For sure, this is a great TV series. To me, the Americans is the best ever. I miss it a lot. I don´t remember how many times I´ve watched and every time I do that I find something new and interesting. I knew about the Americans when I was searching for movies or TV series about espionage back in 2014, I think. Then I´ve read a positive BBC critic article: the Americans is not about the victory of FBI against KGB or vice versa. It is really well written and each episode defies our intelligence. The finale is unforgettable !
