Meh.
14 May 2021
I read a book about a year ago and it's very good so I was curious when I saw they were making a movie especially with Amy as a lead. But I was left very dissapointed. From the beggining it lacked style and direction. It's all so messy. All together a pretty bad movie. If you're into thriller genre maybe give it a go, I probably expected more because of a book.

DONT ASK WHY. IT'S ART!
14 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
So, this is one of those movies without the right answer. It is pure art. Don't ask why. Don't ask what's the point in all that because well, what's the point in anything? So many questions unaswered. Just the artist that put his soul into film and gave it to you to shape it as you want and as you feel. Every single person on the planet has a different opinion on this movie. And that's excatly why it exists. Not to answer the question. But to lead us to answer.

Personally I love it so much because it shows all the flaws of our society without actually talking about them. It shows the emotional distance between people. People so distracted by the mobile phones and problems that they don't even see the beggar. Parents talking to their children like it's a job. So cold and distant. Famous people filming at the graweyard with zero respect for the dead. People killing each other for the fun of it.

We all feel less and less everyday. We are all actors. We are not who we want to be. We don't live like we want but by the rules that this society enforced us to. We are surronded by so many machines that we stoped thinking. We feel so little. In the final scene when machines talk they actually make fun of the way we live, they became more humans than actual humans. So sad.

And at the end the way that Monsieur Oscar does his job with no passion or desire shows that even that final act that is our life we take for granted.

Minari (2020)
9/10
Hauntingly beautiful film.
12 March 2021
Minari is an exquisite family drama written and directed by Lee Isaac Chung and brought to life beautifly by an amazing cast led by Steven Yeun(Jacob) and Alan S. Kim(David). I was blown out by wonderful camera work and scenery. Every frame is so pure. It lifted this movie on another level. The story is an everyday life problem and looks abit usual at the first look. But it is nothing like that. There are so many little details that make this one so special. A cute and funny acting by the little man, the performance of the so called not real grandma and of course Steven Yeun. He talks so little but says so much. Absolutely stunning. Best male performance of the year that goes along with the best picture. A must watch!

Beautiful. 8/10
13 December 2020
It speaks beautifully about life as something so challenging but also so wonderful and unique. It portrays 40 years in life of 4 friends. All the ups and downs, love and hate and all the suffering that a real friendship can cause you. This film makes you feel something and wants you to live your life the best as you possibly can but to never forget the people that have been by your side.

Bad Tales (2020)
7/10
Go and see it if you can
9 August 2020
It's a good movie. Plot is well worked but they didn't really make the best of it. Dialogues are solid. All together it's a good movie but not as good as it could've been.
