Un village français (2009)
Outstanding
To the person Noushin Dowlatshahi, who gave 2 stars and wrote a very bizarre review. This is a pretty accurate story about what may have happened in many villages in France during the german occupation. This isn't a romanticized version where you think that some people like Kurt should have lived on, that the bad guy like Marchetti should or even could have been stopped under the Vichy Government and that the monstrous person like Müller should have been executed instead of escaping and continue to live as an informant for the US. I am french and this is a very possible scenario of France under the german occupation.
You, Noushin Dowlatshahi, need to read about the Holocaust, the Final Solution, the Gestapo, the Resistance, the Collaboration under the Vichy Government, and what was France and the people of France under the Vichy Government. You, Noushin Dowlatshahi, wrote such garbage, I don't think you are the kind of person that should watch anything about WW2. My review: OUTSTANDING tv serie, a MUST watch.
Hollywood (2020)
Loved it.
Outstanding TV show. I cannot wait for the second season. I wish the first season was more than 7 episodes. I love this era of Hollywood. So enjoyable to watch a tv show that make you feel happy. Happiness all around, with no violence. The clothes, the decor, the make-up, the music, everything was beautiful. Beautifully done with warm vibrant color palette and with outstanding acting from all the actors. Job well done.
Gran Hotel (2011)
Why so much violence
Just finished watching Gran Hotel and I didn't like this serie. Why are all the men portrayed as weak individuals in the presence of women. They get slapped, shouted at, humiliated at and none of the men rebelled. Are all Spanish men like this, is this a true portray of Spanish men? Was it really necessary to portray a mother (Angela Salinas) slapping constantly his son and Belén. And why are the women, Dona Teresa and Angela Salinas so violent (continually slapping women and men, with such force (even the slap is big with the arm that swing backyard to give a big slap WOW!!!). Is that the way Spanish women express their disapproval or disappointment towards men and women? So much violence from the female caracters, Dona Teresa whipping Belén and the rest of the men staff stoic...what a horrible scene. Could the script not show us instead a woman and a mother who are respected by their sons or by their staff (ie: by their actions or love) and not feared by getting slapped, screamed at and humiliated at. Fear can be achieve without violence, but obviously these script writers had no clue how to achieve this on screen. Men were portrayed with no self worth, no self esteem. They were so obedient and degraded by their wife or mother (Dona Teresa and Angela Salinas).
Dona Teresa oppressive, tyranic, cruel and harsh and violent (slapping again various caracters) toward Javier, Alfredo Vergara, Inspector Ayala and so many other men. Sofía toward her so so weak husband Alfredo Vergara. Belén toward Andrés. And finally, Angela Salinas toward her son and Belén. She slapped her son so many time, I stop counting. Do Spanish people slap other people around like it's an OK behavior?!?! In the serie, nobody seems to not have any kind of objection to be treated that way, not even one rebellious remarks or repartee. This serie is not to be compared to Downton Abbey in anyway. This is NOT the Spanish version of Downton Abbey by far. Downton Abbey was so much more, beautiful people with so much class, grace, elegance, dignity, self restraint and respect. Beautifully written. Cora and Robert Grantham loved their children and they were not feared but respected by everyone. I didn't like the vibe and what transpired in Gran Hotel, domineering violent women with so much cruelty towards women (staff) and men. And, the men were so weak, it was uncomfortable to watch. Overall the characters were over excessive in their manners and dialogue. Unnecessary violence from the women caracters was shown in this TV serie. The script writers could have found a different way to emphasize on the domineering characters of these women without using on screen violence. The intrigue of the plot didn't need this violence. I understand conniving women caracters, intelligent women caracters but the portray of these violent women hitting others women was not ok. Nothing was said or done with subtility or finesse and that is how great power is achieved. Such a shame that the love story was tarnished by the other caracters.
Replicas (2018)
Decide for yourself
I took the advice of other reviews and decide to judge this movie for myself and I am glad I did. This is a pleasantly good movie and I think some of the negative reviews are very harsh. Keanu Reeves is one of my favorite movie star so I wasn't disappointment but I also thought the story line was interested. For the ones who likes this movie, I suggested the movie "Chappie".
Toy Story 4 (2019)
Disappointed - Hated this last movie
I just came back home with my 2 children after watching Toy Story 4 and we are so confused, disappointed and feel cheated. We wish that we never saw this Toy Story 4. What happen to our beloved characters. In the car on the way home, I said to my kids, this movie cannot have been written by the same wonderful writers of Toy Story, Toy Story 2 and 3 . What happened to all our favorite characters (we didn't see much of them in this fourth movie ), what is that stupid ending, and why the original characters are now so very different. Why did the writers conformed to the rest of what is going on in the movie industry. Why couldn't they have stay true to what was so wonderful about Toy Story. My son (12 years old) told me at the end of the movie that he wish he never saw this Toy Story 4 so he could remember how wonderful was the ending of Toy Story 3. I feel cheated, WTF 😬 Didn't like this movie and for me Toy Story will finish at Toy Story 3. Review from a mother who saw Toy Story in cinema when first release in 1995, a true fan until this disastrous Toy Story 4. I give this movie a rating of 1 star and I am generous. Terrible ending, all our favorite characters were absent. Our strong Buzz was portrayed as dumb and clueless and for Woody, I didn't know this Woody, a totally different person. And how can Bonnie (5 years old) already ditched Woody after promising to Andy that she will love and look after Woody. I am so so sad, I don't even want to know about a possible Toy Story 6. I will pretend that this movie was never made.
