Ice Cold Gold (2013)
100% Scripted bs infront of a nice background
Everything in this show is fake. The people that pretend to be miners are just casted reality TV actors. That everything is scripted is not even the worst part, the worst part is that the script is so bad. There is constant drama about some childish nonsense that is soon forgotten to be replaced by the next unproffessional kids fight. Also the story doesnt even make sense.
Some of the many plotholes is how in the beginning of season 2 they are very worried that somebody finds out about their "secret" spot and be faster than them. The problem is that they even say that some locals told them that there would be rubys right there. So how can there be a secret? There never was. Should we really believe that the inexperienced new guy is constantly the lucky one? In reality he is just the person that we as an audience should see ourselves in.
Though its not all bad. The basic idea is deccent and they have a nice background scenery. Onestly, just watch some documentarys about Greenland. I would raise my points up to 4 if you watch it on mute.
Closing Time (2018)
Arthouse at its best
This movie is almost in its own category. It seems sometimes like a documentary but it is not. There is no voice from the off and the protagonists dont talk much either. We are watching from the sidelines into the lives of Mr. Kuo and his Wife Mrs. Lin who run a small restaurant for the sleeples in Taipei. They open after most other people have closed already but at some point Mr. Kuo comes to a point where he decides to close for good and just drives off.
This is not a classic movie with much of a plot, it is not a documentary either. It can be seen as a very subtle commentary about lifes endless chores itself and about life in the shadows. The movie doesnt explain itself. You can watch it for the mood and the nice pictures but at the end there will be questions that we have to answear ourselfs.
Closing Time reminds sometimes of Chungkink Express or Fallen Angels by Wong Kar Wai or Movies by Aki Kaurismäki but it is much closer to real life. So close that it is hard to tell what is fiction and who is just a real person going about their business while the camera rolls by.
