Beautiful Boy (2018)
Sadly most people, at least among commentators here, don't seem to grasp the core of the issue.
First off, he does not grow up in a "good family".
His parents are divorced.
His father works to promote degeneracy hedonism, nihilism and materialism (ie. Working at "Rolling Stones").
A great scene in the movie is where the son is at a treatment center where he is asked "what is wrong with you" - and the son says that he is doing drugs etc. And the counselor responds "no, that is how you treat what is wrong with you"..
The problem is that there are no deep conversations, they never get to the root causes.
Downton Abbey (2010)
British drama at its finest!
What an interesting, enlightening, educational, witty and deep drama series.
The depth of the characters is matched by the rich story and the overwhelming efforts in regards to detail - from the beautiful house to the customs and manors of both the upstairs and downstairs, decor, art, music clothes etc.
A wealth of information about a fascinating period of time - which can teach us so very much about our history as well as to what staggering degree we have sadly fallen as a culture.
From a time when we were indeed the "light of the world".
A very educational show, also about human psychology (in the western wold at least).
I apologize up front for any grammatical errors etc.
Written by a Danish man in my late thirties.
I Am Mother (2019)
In a lot of ways an excellent movie
Very interesting and very thought provoking indeed.
Not quite what I thought.
A lot of fascinating aspects.
Only big problem is, the "last child" - such a high intelligence would obviously only have chosen to create white children.
The Many Saints of Newark (2021)
A huge disappointment indeed.
I thoroughly disappointed watching this garbage (at least compared to the amazing "Sopranos" that revolutionized TV series).
The characters are uninteresting, out of character and empty.
And why all the black gangsters?
That certainly wasn't a part of the Sopranos, on the contrary.
Pure political correctness I assume - or should I say "cultural appropriation"?
War Party (1988)
The usual white man and culture bad , non-white man and culture good
Very predictable, very unrealistic.
This movie is a trope in a long line of similar movies.
The Terror: A Sparrow in a Swallow's Nest (2019)
Sooo disappointed...
I thought it was somehow related to season one (ie. Old ships in the artic etc) - it is NOT...
The Call of the Wild (2020)
This is not an adaptation of the amazing novel by Jack London
I utterly despise CGI if it isn't in some sci-fi movie and then I still prefer old school special effects (as examples I could mention everything from Alien to the Gremlins).
Even the nature / scenery is CGI.
Children are being "dumbed down" by this "Disney" garbage that turns animals into "people" and where they aren't allowed to see anything that is "harsh" or "evil".
The story is boring and an immensely poor adaptation of an amazing novel.
