Crescendo (II) (2019)
8/10
Touch of hope
22 November 2019
They say hope is naive. And about Israeli Palestine conflict Benny Morris used to say: "Those to whom evil is done do evil in return". This is a movie about an attempt to stop it by assembling together a youth Israeli Palestinian orchestra. With a conductor who happens to have dark past related to Second World War and who can teach them more than you can imagine. Teach much more than only music - teach to see the soul. 8 goes for a little bit overdone moment of car crash. Otherwise - strong 10 and a moving piece that stays with you long days after you've watched it.

Interesting narrative and harmful bias
10 November 2019
When will I stop reading and watching that something happened "In Poland". Did Polish people set up the camps or what? And why are the camps marked on the territory of present Poland that did not exist back then? Nazi Germany were not there or what? And I sympathize with those who lost some family members during Holocaust but even them write "In Poland". Like Nazi Germany either did not exist or were a neighbour state.

MacGyver (2016–2021)
6/10
Culture turn reflected in a series
6 May 2018
Yes it does not stand any comparison to carefully explained science tricks of the original. I have not a clue what he does here as it is not explained at all. Children safety cause former generation experimented too much :P?

But I like it. MacGyver has feelings. He is bonded with friends with his father with Maddie. All of them are real people that are grounded in relations. The former one had a lot of high causes related to saving all hungry children in Africa but at the same time all he had done was hooking up around with some superficially romantic sugarcoat on top of it. The new one is just a person and is not overdone in either way.

I like Boser who loves Liana, I like Riley who has a father and makes family plans with Billy Colton. I do like updated version of them all.
