What's Next: The Future with Bill Gates (2024)
Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies
Bill Gates ias a man with God coplex
The Gates Foundation is "... an institution that thrives on the grotesque economic inequalities that govern the globe, that counts on the rest of us to be too poor or too stupid to say no to its largesse"
"Why have we allowed Bill Gates to take so much power from us for so long"?
"The simple fact is Bill Gates doesn't have expertise, training, or education in most of the topics where he asserts it".
"While Bill Gates is widely celebrated as the most generous man on earth, during his tenure as the world's leading philanthropic donor, he has managed to nearly double his personal wealth" .
"Bill Gates's public persona is very much wrapped up in his identity, as a businessman and then as a philanthropist. But underpinning his success, in Gates's own mind, is his superior intelligence" and "most journalists have embraced the Gates-as-genius narrative" (
"Giving away money is not supposed to magnify the asymmetries in wer that govern society, but to collapse them. And this is precisely why, in many respects,
Bill Gates mght be better described as a misanthrope - if he does not hate his fellow man, then he certainly views himself as superior"
Napoleon (2023)
Thank you Ridley Scott
I saw it and loved it so much that I will see it again in a few months.
The real problem with this movie is that we are so addicted to the Hollywood versions of the historical figures that we expect them to be eloquent super-charismatic warriors with punch lines and flame-cutting speeches.
But Napoleon is nothing like that.
Ridley Scott's Napoleon is the most repulsive mirror and reflection of human reality. The one who allows the megalomaniacs to climb up to control our lives and manage their lives.
Emotionless, a superficial half-beast and even a coward... the scene of the escape from the crowd of representatives of the revolution panting failed and hysterical... ignorant and probably illiterate.
Yes, the key to understanding Ridley Scott's message... what exactly happened there? How the French, a minute after beheading the nobles and taking responsibility for their lives for the first time in their history, gave the keys to a young soldier from Corsica from a family that led the rebellion in France in the War of Independence, who married a woman older than him who openly fornicated with other men when he conquered the world.
And not only did they make him king, they also made him emperor???
100 days of reign are all the greatness of Napoleon.
3 million French soldiers died in Napoleon's wars of conquest.
In 1800 the population of France was 30 million people, we are talking about a tenth of the population.
Throughout the film, the reality is reflected that basically nothing has changed after the revolution. The same debauchery and extravagance of the new privileges. Those who are close to the plate live in luxurious houses and wear silk and those who do not yet eat rats and live in filth.
This is the main point of the film in my opinion... and this is the message Ridley Scott is giving us.
Not the greatness of the Napoleons, Hitlers, Putins and Stalins...
Our failure as humans to take responsibility for our lives and shed the need to be controlled sheep whose lives are at the shepherd's mercy.
Grown movie
A huge message
Thank you Ridley Scott.
Vikings (2013)
So boring season 6....
Some times its a great wisdom to know when to put a stop.
its a pity I had to ruin all 5 season great impression over this last one .
nothings happens really/ same 0 same 0 another woman another child born or die its a very doll repetition over season one but without Floki Lagertha or Ragnar...... total waste of time if you ask me
Westworld (2016)
you wanted us to be like you, now you wants to be us.......
Its not easy to realize how ugly we humans are as species . Dolores the artificial life form is one huge mirror reflecting on human kind and not complimentary one.
No doubt the Androids will inherit the earth.Since the only why of being human is to not be one. Very sad and inspiring show.
Just one thing I TOTALY DISAGREE with the creators of this amazing show -no one really have a free will . Free will is a beautiful illusion we all have as of paradise lost.
Alias Grace (2017)
Amazing Grace
Very much like in her "Handmaid's Tale" Margaret Atwood's heroin Grace is an intelligent low class woman that know better what she should say or not for the sack of her survival. Truth is given in small doses, and with lots of compassion poured in to the naive Dr's ears .He who is so eager to help yet so blind to the exploitation and abuse of working class woman.
Grace inner voice is strong and true. Also she has no control over her life, she is not broken. I often think that is the greatest sin of woman of her kind in the eyes of society.
The Night Of (2016)
a worn story
nothing new under the sun.
The sane old story of the goody good boy from humble working class family and the underdog lower. have we not seen it before in hundred films and TV shows?
Slow going story that feels much like a literal copy. The only new idea is the leg eczema which I find extra repulsing ?
The cast is great though Turturro is way beneath his great talent.
Slow, boring too standard and a waste of time. I expect so much better from an HBO series.
I sincerely advice anyone who hasn't seen the original to see it.
Prometheus (2012)
I liked the old Ripley better !
* 4 point - * so alien like you can almost call it a a copy.
I truly don't understand this bizarre process of chowing old materials in new concept .
there must be some talented new script writer some where with brand new ideas.
similarity in the story line and even in the design is astonishing
sorry to say I didn't liked it much. I couldn't avoid comparing scenes character and effect between alien and Prometheus. it was quite annoying and total fun spoiler. any how.......
will probably watch alien saga again to wash the bad test.
Adam Resurrected (2008)
a state of grace
For me this film is about the guilt we feel for surviving, when better one and people we love don't. Its also about what makes us rise up to two when everything around us indicates we better kneel down to four.
This is a strong film about strong feeling that every one who experienced lost can relate to, as we might find ourself some time in course of life deep in the bottom...
This film was an amazing experience for me in that sense. The acting of Goldblum, the kid and all other members actors was excellent and moving.
The directing however, was poor and in a way it was more like watching a theater show on screen then a movie. that the only thing I noticed that truly annoy me. that a pity...
