Station Eleven (2021)
It's all Literature & Drama / there is NO Apocalytic Sci-Fi
Does anyone really think 20 years after a pandemic which kills 99% of the human race, the surviving 1% will spend their time as wandering nomadic hippies performing Shakespeare on trailers?????
In such an apocalyptic scenario, even 20 years later, performing Shakespeare would be very low on anyone's "to do" list. The 1% will be looking to survive, getting food and water on the table, looking for meat, protecting their home from loots and gangs, cutting woods. The smarter ones will be working to restart the technology.
This is just idealistic unrealistic fairytale. This series shouldn't be marked Apocalypse and Sci-Fi, it's just Drama, Literature and if you like Shakespeare.
Oppenheimer (2023)
Movie is overrated and about office politics
Unpopular opinion: the movie is overrated.
The movie's second half is about office politics, which nobody cares about. Here's the spoiler, the second half is about who gets the much-desired credit for dropping the bomb: Oppenheimer, the US President, or the research center's head.
The movie's center should be the nuclear bomb and the destruction it did. They are promoting the film with the bomb on all posters, but the film instead surrounds office politics.
Zero perspectives or impact on the Japanese shown post. A random anime series provides a better perspective than what this movie showed on the bomb.
With zero perspectives on the impact of the bomb on the Japanese and the greater world, the movie plays on American chauvinism.
Background music is louder than dialogue. English native countries didn't have subtitles on the film, making it hard to follow.
The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley (2019)
Storytelling could be better
Recent documentary movies have really taken off from mostly indie to mainstream movie quality and filming, this is not one of those. As for Elizabeth - a white woman with blonde hair, blue eyes, Stanford on the resume and wealthy family - her journey to becoming a 'on-paper' billionaire wasn't that hard. Valuations and Silicon Valley is another story.
Lion (2016)
Slumdog Millionaire 2.0
You know the storyline even before watching it. If you spending next 2 hours to watch this its only for the visuals for Poverty India - a sub-genre that $ells effectively in the Western countries. Hollywood loves this theme. Meanwhile, Dev Patel really capitalising from these poor-brown-Indian persona roles.
