Spencer (2021)
The sad truth about the royal family
Not so fond of dialogues, this movie really pictures the life that Diana had signed up to live.
The comparison with Anne Boleyn really shows the boring and segregated life she had. At the end of the day, she just wanted to laugh and have a KFC with her children on the south of the Thames, which is what a "regular" moms would do.
The family literally drove herself crazy as shown in her journey to her former home near the estate.
Belgravia (2020)
Not so "Downtonesque" but decent show
I really do enjoy these Julian Fellowes English aristocracy type of TV Shows. However do not expect it to be Downton Abbey 2.0.
In fact, it is the complete opposite. We're 70 years prior DA and it is a different universe as it is staged in central posh London (DA is in countryside Yorkshire)
We see similarities between both shows such as the famous "Upstairs-Downstairs" comparison, where you can find matching details like servants gossiping and aristocrates being unaware of the "real world" and being obnubilate by their own world.
Belgravia has a more popular view of British aristocracy, especially with unusual factors like unwanted pregnancies.
This subject made me realise that there must have been many bastards throughout the aristocratic families in the past. It's quite dramatic to think that your future heir isn't actually yours.
I binged this show and still enjoyed it quite much. Bit of unnecessary drama in the end with that whole river scene, but still a happy ending.
Don't Look Up (2021)
Under a certain administration, it could have truly happened
This movie really showed the greed and dumbness the US have become, and for some reason I could definitely see this happening.
Bit strange how countries didn't act together. You would also see China acting selfish in this situation.
Great movie, making fun of the US is always bringing them down to... earth !
Industry (2020)
Review from a banker perspective
The banking part of the show is interesting. They show us trading floors, client meetings and business trips. They also use a good financial vocabulary (Vix, pips, EUR/USD synonymous) which is great.
The dark sides of the show are obviously the sex scenes and drugs, which are insanely over exaggerated. I work in banking and I've also got friends working in the City for big banks. This is not the truth. This is a Wolf of Wall Street kinda vibes and utterly false.
I'll give it a 6, just because the banking part is good. Of course, HBO and the BBC had to keep it interesting for the "non-banking people", otherwise people would have stopped watching the show.
Also, I love the theme song (Nathan Micay - Blue Springs).
