The Gilded Age (2022)
Laughing out loud who could rate it higher than 4
Historically the show is ridiculously bad. Nothing resembles the period of that time .
Also the acting is ridiculously poor, but the costumes and decor are great.
As many have stated previously, it's a lame copy of "Downton Abbey," a poor attempt to recreate the same concept but in different circumstances. Why? Americans don't need royalty . You can't buy it with cash . And they shouldn't. Americans are a proud nation of immigrants who have ambitions and may achieve their dreams regardless their birth ( generally speaking) . Why to create this fake narrative of royalty ? European aristocracy always looked down at American rich no matter how many generations NY elite resided in NY. It a fact . Marriages between Europe aristocratic name with no funds and American new money were accepted but no more .
I don't expect much historical accuracy from shows and movies, but one has to stick to at least some decent level of it. It's laughable. It's imaginary, marke it as fantasy pls
The past we want to have been like that (hint: it had never been like that, read a book on the period).
Dialogues, characters, storylines - Latin Soap
. But the costumes and overall attention to detail, no matter how imaginative they are, were really fun.
If you want to kill your time with a ridiculous soap opera in great costumes and you have never read anything about that historical period, you might like it.
Coded Bias (2020)
While the issue is very important the movie is a failure
While the issue discussed in the movie is indeed important, and the questions I raised here certainly need to be addressed, we face numerous challenges such as biased algorithms and legislative loopholes enabling technology to infringe upon established human rights. Furthermore, there's a risk of the technology industry becoming a dominating force in society, yet the movie and its proponents failed to adequately articulate and address them.
The statement that particularly disengaged me was when a woman equated the use of facial recognition in the United States to that in China, suggesting there's no difference except China acknowledges its use. Seriously???
This assertion prompted me to stop watching the movie. Have the filmmakers ever been to China? In the United States, facial recognition isn't used to the extent described - at Subway, in supermarkets, or during casual conversations.
While I recognize the seriousness of the issues at hand, it's unacceptable to propagate anti-American sentiment and equate a free democratic society with dictatorships like China. The challenges we face may require criticism and awareness-raising, but portraying American society as comparable to or worse than dictatorships is both unprofessional and untrue. It's essential to focus on addressing fixable issues and raising awareness without YOUR OWN BIAS!
Der Fall Jens Söring - Tödliche Leidenschaft (2023)
A platform for the narcissist to promote himself and his story
This documentary, unfortunately, falls victim to a skewed narrative, allowing Jens narcissistic to monopolize the spotlight without offering an alternative perspective enough .
The lack of balance undermines the credibility of the storytelling, turning it into a platform for self-promotion rather than a genuine exploration of the truth.
No police and journalists were not enough to present the whole story. Without Haysom it is hard to do it.
Jens speaks German the whole time , while he is proficient in English, which adds another layer to the narrative that reflects arrogance and disrespect and again one side narrative pretty much. He presents himself as a victim and the movie fails to challenge the narrative.
I stopped watching.
Ginny & Georgia (2021)
A competition of all cliche characters and dialogues
This supposedly escapist and humorous series, with a nomination for an Emmy, falls disappointingly short of expectations right from a Pilot episode though I have watched more waiting for something better
Instead of delivering fresh and original content, it relies heavily on cliché after cliché, leaving us with a sense of déjà vu rather than the anticipated laughter.
The lack of creativity raises questions about being rated higher than 3 , as the series fails to stand out in a crowded field of more innovative and deserving contenders.
I feel that if someone asked me to write clichéd characters or dialogues about moms, daughters, or small towns, I could certainly match the ones seen on the screen in the series.
The White Lotus (2021)
What's the fuss about ?
Entertaining mediocre show full of cliche about Italy and very predictable end . Americans need to see it without Hollywood lenses . It's like any show about Italy or France is painfully laughable for tons of cliche .
Actors are good though without Jennifer Coolidge it would be worse . She brought the light to it . She definitely the star of the show . If there plans for season 3 - I have no idea why to watch it without her character.
It's fun to watch something like that on a flight like reading a " beach book" . But nothing more to it . It's forgotten the next day.
Keeps you engaged to shorten time .
The Stranger (2020)
Just no
It hooks at the beginning but then it's so badly overdone with TOO many mysteries , it's just really silly and stupid
Wouldn't watch the next season if comes up
