Accused (2023)
The Frightening Power of Social Media and Revenge
This low budget movie is novel and entertaining. It shows the frightening power of social media, hate, prejudice and revenge.
In the wake of an all too familiar London terrorist attack occurs a terrifying case of mistaken identity. A young man simply going about his everyday business happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
A photo of the terror suspect is released. Despite the photo not clearly showing the man's face a storm is whipped up on social media and the young man is wrongly identified as the subject.
What makes this film entertaining is this scenario is all too possible. An innocent photo here or there can lead to severe consequences.
The ability to relate to this incident is what makes the film so entertaining. This is why my social media accounts are locked down so tightly. Especially Facebook! There are no pictures available to the public on my profile apart from my profile picture of me unidentifiable in sunglasses! No tagged pictures relating to my house, work, gym and certainly no public pictures.
After watching this film, if you haven't already, you'd be wise to follow suit! I recommend this film.
The Trouble with KanYe (2023)
Just Roll With The Narrative
This is a typical BBC hit piece for the viewing pleasure of the metropolitan elite. Whatever the "current thing", "the current narrative" the BBC always rolls with it.
As recently as 10 years ago the BBC were actually impartial -they weren't perfect but perfect impartiality is impossible.
The BBC used to undertake investigative journalism which challenged the establishment when required. Now it just blurts out the narrative the establishment tells it to as shown here.
Even the title of the documentary irritates me. "The trouble...". Okay so Kanye is a problem before we even start watching.
The journalist is beyond insipid, predictable and boring. There is nothing challenging here. It is more about the journalist himself and his poor little "feelings" than it is about Kanye West. Love him. Hate him. Be indifferent to him. It doesn't matter. You'll learn nothing new here apart from the usual turgid criticisms we've heard countless times before.
We need people like Kanye West. Not because I like him. But just to disrupt the path of " you must all follow these ideas or you are an awful person who should be cancelled".
I heard West interviewed. He was so right when he said there are teams of people telling you what to be afraid of. To not say or do the wrong thing.
The elites claim to want diversity. Yes. The brand of diversity where it doesn't matter what your identity is, race, sexuality etc as long as we all think the same way. Which is the opposite of diversity. And oh boy, we are suffocated by that narrative in this documentary!
The program dramatically end with white on black type saying they received no response from Kanye. So what?!
I disagree with the journalist. Kanye has no questions to answer! It's up to Kanye. He's not on trial. Mind your own business!
Tenet (2020)
Dialogue!
"Mrfghhjkk"...! "Sfggbjj"?
Couldn't hear a word of it. Sort the sound out!
Terminator Salvation (2009)
Pointless
No Arnie = No Terminator. I was bored. Christian Bale is wooden. The plot goes nowhere. The atmosphere is tedious. No humour from Arnie's one liners. What's the point?
This Is Us (2016)
First Series better than the second
A great show but in the second series I felt some of the scenes were a bit sugary sweet and cringe worthy. The emotional codependent attachments are sometimes milked a bit to nauseating effect. Apart from that it's great!
