Blue, Painful and Brittle (2020)
Bad communication
At the end of the day everything in this story could have been fixed had there just been better communication. The guy liked the girl and though she could read his mind the whole time. When she doesn't reciprocate the feeling he gets butthurt and angry that she's not giving him the time of the day and actually cares more about her club stuff than him.
There's one scene near the end of the movie that's pretty telling of the entire relationship between the two. It's along the lines of him saying he got kicked out of the club that they start together and she replies back that he left own his own free will in which he replies with, "well, you should have understood how I felt". My guy, the world doesn't revolve around you.
Not to say that she doesn't have any problems too. She's definitely just aloof all the time but most of the movies problems really is on him for holding everything in and being so passive aggressive. I don't know, the acting is fine, the cinematography is fine but the story was just all over the place and it falls flat. It all comes down to jealousy and how vicious it can be.
In & Out (1997)
People need to stop thinking the film is current
I feel like a lot of people who have just recently watched this movie are in the mindset of how this movie would be today instead of when it came out in 1997. Homosexuality has been more laid out, gay rights have been front and center as of late but back in 1997 this movie was really one of a kind and yes it exaggerated the gay stereotypes but it wasn't like it had much to work off of either. At most it was offensively inoffensive but never once did I think lesser of the gay character. Not then, not now. It was one of the few films that went out of its way to go, "Yeah, he's gay and that's fine".
Pan-dola (2016)
Everything was going so well...
Typical catastrophe film but there's some questionable scenes. One I think really turned me off from the movie was when the government decided to just up and leave and also lock up all the people of the village inside a gymnasium because they knew too much about what happened at the nuclear reactor area. I can't fathom. They also used an Internet jammer so they wouldn't be able to use their phones. I really have a hard time believing that anyone from the police, government or anyone from the KCDC would just leave people to die like that. Every single one of them left these people to die. Not a single person tried to help these people. Can you live with the fact that you just left hundreds of people to die? I have another complaint with the characters also. Some of them feel like they're just there to play a role and it doesn't feel like they're real people. Also everyone's always yelling at each other. I know they're in a middle of a disaster and all but there are just some straight up screaming matches with some characters. The mom to the daughter, the daughter to the mom, the workers at each other, the prime minister and the president, the president's wife and the president. It's like shut up why are you yelling? That one scene mixed in with over the top acting and unlikable characters really made me stop caring by that point. The whole movie in itself just feels like a propaganda film. A "this is what happens when you use nuclear power" movie. It's so heavy handed that sometimes I'm just rolling my eyes while they're pointing out who's wrong and the destructive impact of using nuclear.
Colombiana (2011)
Unlikable main character
The movie itself is mediocre at best but I have a really hard time getting into it because Zoe Saldana's character is just really unlikable. How am I suppose to feel for this character when she doesn't care about anything except getting her way? There's a scene in the film where she purposely gets sent to jail so that she could kill someone in his jail cell. She takes down one of the guards watching the criminal and makes it seem like the guard shot the guy. Then there's another scene where she puts a bomb underneath the chair of an FBI agent so he won't attack her telling him to get the information that he needs or else every week she'll starting killing him family. Oh and she also gets her uncle and his family killed because she wants to do everything her way. I know she got screwed over when she was a kid but what a reckless assassin and one that just doesn't care about anyone. I can't sympathize for a character that has no sympathy for other people either. One more thing, everyone is this freakin' movie knows about the cataleya flower. I didn't even know the thing existed.
Mazâ (2020)
Tragic story of a toxic relationship
I'll preface it now for all of you the movie itself is just miserable from start to finish. Every second of it makes you angry that such a woman can be such an irredeemable person. Now I'm not saying that this is a bad movie, in fact its misery and its ability to fire me up is what makes it such a recommended viewing. The actress who plays the mother is so good at just being the most scummy, despicable person. You feel for these kids that she totally uses as props to further her own agenda. I think the hardest part to watch is that her son takes it and keeps taking it time after time as if under some sort of spell. It's so hard to watch a child's innocence being ripped apart by the very person that gave them life and is suppose to protect them and cherish them. It just hurts to watch.
