Ai amu a hîrô (2015)
A subpar movie about a subnormal middle-aged man and the lack of his manhood
It's a movie about this narcissistic, mentally challenged, middle aged loser who is supposed to be a 'normal man', but is actually a thoroughly off putting fool with serious mental issues. The movie is supposed to be a parallel of the crisis Japanese men are going through, I guess and their emasculation... but it turns out there is no worse medium to discuss any issues in their society than the zombie apocalypse... the only thing I guess this film explained to me is why are children, more precisely, high-school girls so sexualized in Japan... because it seems that Japanese men can't handle a woman who is presented as an money grabbing being...
The movie and the story are shallow, filled with tropes which makes them boring... 'Japanese zombies', no... story wise, there is no true originality here, however, the visual design is pretty interesting...
Other reviews giving this film an 8 or 9 and how this is a 'gem'' are truly worrying me... sure, some parts of an opinion are personal and so on, but this movie is pretty bad...
Shadow and Bone (2021)
I wanted both 'main' characters dead, but some things really redeem it
The world is cool, some reviews say they want more exposition... I don't know what to say to that, except that exposition bad, generally, you want to discover the world as the story unfolds and this takes that approach, so definitely a plus there. The characters of criminals and especially Kaz are entertaining, they have sensible motivations and they're worked out. But man... Mal and the Sun Summoner are the worst cliche teen-romantic-drama characters and are simply unbearably boring and bland... they're horribly written and it seems that their main plot tool is being annoying and I'm not kidding or exaggerating. Literally the progress of their story is... other characters explaining how stupid and unreasonable they are... it feels like 4th wall breaking how stupid they are and how easily other characters explain and counteract their stupidity...
2067 (2020)
Bad bad bad
This is what happens when you don't know how to write a script, literally. It's so absurdly bad that I wouldn't be surprised it was written while drunk in microsoft word by someone who actually never read a script, but thinks he know how to. It's a mush of everything with no good flow or thematic treatment. I thought I was about to see an insanely low budget film that's too overzealous, by trying to show expensive things on low budget. Oh boy, was I wrong, actually a decent amount of money was burned, who are these idiots that give such untalented swindlers so much money, idk, but they should stop giving away money to Uwe Bolls of this world...
The Crossing (2018)
Sort of an interesting premise, but a horrible script
The script is amateur, really bad. I mean, some scenes reminded me of the Room. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because the premise is interesting enough to give me enough hope so I wouldn't give up until 13 minutes into the 5. episode.
I will just talk about the scene at 13 min of the 5. episode, and then you will understand what I mean. So, we have a character whose dad was supposedly drunk and he caused a car crash that killed his mother, 10 years ago. He's estranged from his father, supposedly blaming him for the crash. He remembers (suddenly... lol) that his father wasn't responsible for the accident. He goes with that information to the deputy sheriff who tells him he's tripping. He doesn't go to the father or something, to tell him that he remembers, tell him he's no longer angry at him, or something... no, father approaches him at a restaurant, because the deputy told father that his son is having doubts about the crash. When he sees the father, he asks him angrily "what are you doing here", like, wtf? Then, he starts talking about what he remembered, because his father is asking him about it, and only then, he suddenly softens, like he just remembered that he has the new information. I mean, horrible, a horrible script...
13 Reasons Why (2017)
Thinning the herd
This is my first review and I made it because this series got such a high rating, and unfortunately some good reviews. Those good reviews are in some serious trouble, psychologically. This girl represents everything that's wrong with today's society. She's a suicide you hope for. She's that one about which you say: "Good, world is a better place now", those "victims". I don't know if U.S. sunk to that type of PC fascism that makes everyone around a awful human being blamed on that persons whim just because that person feels, subjectively that you harmed her. This story and this personality of Hannah can maybe make sense to people that wrote articles about how winning over a girl in a video game is rape, or those articles about how Battlefield 1 is sexist because it doesn't include female players, or even that about a male fetus being a rapist inside his mother, because his penis is inside his mother. This show and the main character have that kind of logic. If this character was a male, it would be a show about Elliot Rodgers, that's the level of Asperger's and narcissism presented in the show.
The only motivation for making this show; because it's actually well made, with a big budget and a good cast; is that Illuminati decided to make a show that hopefully makes horrible people like the main character kill themselves, but it adds that twist where they suggest you should make innocent people suffer for no reason, but your lack of adjustment, classic Illuminati... which I condone, as is obvious, I hope. Really, it's a mockery of an act of suicide, or people have just became so shallow and so so meaningless and horrible, that this makes sense. I hope Elliot Rodger is not one of a lot, and if he is, I hope this thins the heard.
