Reviews

First of all, I am white, so do not assume that my criticism has anything to do with my race. Now, several times throughout the series, in many different ways, words and dialogue have been used to suggest that, in the words of the main character, "the main obstacle to our race is our race". Knowing that most of this dialogue and interaction is in fact fiction, I found it outrageous that whoever produced this used the names of outstanding people like Malcolm X and so many others and created a false narrative to promote this idea. It blames the victims all over again and presents a terrible and unfair image of them. It frustrates me that this is passed off as based on a true story when most of it is actually a fabrication. The story is basically men. Its a very well made series of course, addictive, the actors are great, not sure how they accepted to be part of it but well. To speak the truth, the main obstacle to our progress as human beings is us human beings. That is more accurate.

Well it's a good thing we stills speak about that very ilegal , immoral guantanamo place . And this movie is a true story and its about one of the innocent human beings held in there. To me that was not the important matter. While i was watching it i was feeling so outraged, thinking about the united states arrogance and propaganda as the best country in the world , when it's absolutely not. I was just feeling rage, then some kind of relieve and after the movie ends and they start passing videos of the real human this story was all about. And i felt ashamed of my rage. That wonderful human that as been through so much pain and injustice, had only love left inside. " In arabic the word for forgiveness and for freedom are the same "

For every activist with knowledge about the financial, monetary and economic system this show is more than a show , is a gift. I was very afraid almost until the end that the good ones would lose. That there was no escape. This last season tooks as all to despair almost until the end. I think most of us thought that they would all end up in jail our dead. And personally this would have devastated me . We need a win, even if just in a show. Thank you for this end it feels like a personal victory.

Well forget about Almodôvar , he produced the movie only, Isabel wrote it and directed it. This is a Isabel Coixet Movie and the reason you never heard about this Oscar winner in most categorys, if it ever got to Oscars ceremony, its because Isabel its a woman. She filmed it in a oil rig, probably the first movie made under such conditions. And she manages to break your heart , to punches you in the stomach, just by showing a woman tell the most devastating story who is based on true war storys. And she plays you like i never seen before, first Tim robins tells his story and after you hear, Sarah story you just start thinking that Tim's story is the one of a spoiled american. There are absolutely perfect silent interactions between the amazing characters in the movie. I think we know a movie is good when it lives in you , it becomes part of you, you remember it as you remember a good friend and Isabel gave this friend to me and My life without me. They are a cherished memory that lives with me and that sometimes its strong in many moments in my daily life. Of course i sometimes have to watched them again and again ou i share with friends allway with the sad felling: how can you never watched this two movies ? And knowing the sad response . I know things are changing but so slowly and people like Isabel that truly deserve to be seen and recognized are getting tired for sure.

I watched this movie in 1996 i was maybe 20 back then. After i read what was written at the back of the video tape, i though" another movie with lesbians and a men made for men and in the end she will chose the guy . I was wrong. We were four lesbians in the living room, we watched it, in the end we did not say a word, we just looked at each other and watched it again. I know i never watched any movie as beautiful as this one our a love scene as perfect as the one in the circus. I have to confess that all my oil paintings at home are inspired in scenes of this movie. But then again, i watched it at least a hundred times , maybe more and it is still my favorite movie. One thing people complain about the end is the exaggerated happy ending , what people do not know its that it was almost forbidden until recently to give a happy ending to people like me in Hollywood movies. In a way this movie changed history. Other point to make is that it was written and directed by a lesbian woman, so its honest, its a poem, the sex scenes are realistic, unlike so many men made films about lesbians, and am not talking about porn movies . Its also a love story, woman and men can identify with . After all this time, and watched it again yesterday with my new girlfriend, its my number one for sure.

Ok, i have been watching this show since it started. So you are all mostly family. I swear when Jo got denied the adoption papers, for the first time in my life i felt like hugging a character in a show. I think this show as done a lot of good to mankind . It is a political show, strongly feminist, anti racist, anti lgbt phobic . Of course last two seasons have not been the best. I believe its normal for a show with so many seasons, but still its able to surprise, to tell different stories and to touch our hearts and i hope we get grey's anatomy until we are all very old .

Now lets go to the but, as a feminist my self , i can not understand why are women in the show taking there husbands names proudly and everybody else starts calling them by there husband name in the show, there is nothing feminist about it. Second thing the soundtrack is becoming absolutely horrible, mostly cheesy men singing , almost no woman singing. So this is more of a suggestion can you make sure half the music you play is interpreted by woman? That can make a difference for a lot of female musicians who never get to be heard because the music industry is not feminist at all.

How many times in the name of not killing the terrible metas innocent people died? How many times do you have the same enemy's over and over again, it show a lack of imagination. I write this review after emotional flash sends his daughter back to the future and i just though i need to come and say what an arrogant, self pity, whining character Flash is. And in times like this i just remember a real life old woman from Chile who's sun was shot by the police, she said this peace and lets talk propaganda its not something she falls in to. I watch hero series in order to see some justice made in a world i can not bring much justice to and to distract me from all that is going on. But this show as the worst main hero i have ever watched and i watch a lot. Even arrow its better. If it wasn't for all the other characters, most of them pretty amazing i would have stooped in the first episodes.

This movie its about a woman with a mental disorder. She takes and needs lithium to keep the balance. Although the name of the disease is never mentioned on it,we might assume, bipolar disorder but it can be others. The movie tells the story of this woman our shows this woman going to several fazes of this disorder, all the struggle to keep the balance, to be a good wife and a good mother. There are some very interesting and true points and about this story, like the felling of being not worthy of her children of her her husband. So far so good. The acting is OK, the story line its a bit to focused on her. What i really have problems with is the ending. You see, i have very dear friends that went to all that, i have friends that take lithium. i have friends that tried to ended it all, some did it, some are still alive and i would never ever give this movie for them to watch. This movie is not just a stiller of hope to people that actually suffer from this diseases, this film almost suggests suicide with the not so much ambiguous end.This movie its irresponsible.

On the first season we got surprised with the wonderful stories of getting people connected and also with brilliant details of directing, beautiful pictures and screening. I thought , finally a show that really is special. Going to the second season we have a totally different focus, the "connecting people" is off the story, in every episode until now, story goes back and forward in to almost find the girl almost losing it for good, in a almost sadistic way typical of action series. We have the impression of having watched this before and we actually did in hundreds of other actions series. and we end up with a typical action show where the characters do all the mistakes that get them in to endless bad situations that even the least smart of us would avoid. Hoping for a better third season...
