Slay the Dragon (2019)
An important coverage ruined by strong bias
I wanted to learn but instead I was fed an agenda. Sadly, an extremely important issue was ruined by the producer not getting past his bias. Documentaries should be about accuracy. The best documentaries reveal actual details of a character or event that you were not aware of, so you can learn. If you read the Wikipedia page on gerrymandering instead of watching this, you will save 90 minutes of your life. This documentary is ruined by the extreme bias of the authors. The documentary is supposed to be about gerrymandering but it's really about the "evil republicans". They take 20 seconds to say "democrats did the same thing in California to gain control of the state forever but let's not talk about it" and then move on to the evil republicans they wanted to discuss. This is why the country is divided. Because even our coverage of true events can't be neutral.
The Big Short (2015)
70% of the truth
In the end, the movie concludes that Wall Street finds out that Wall Street is corrupt. This is where the movie falls Short Big time.
Wall Street is always corrupt, but that is not what caused 2008. It was select individuals, less than 100 people, who were fully complicit and responsible for what occurred. And none were jailed or even audited. Today, they are among the ultrawealthy. Why do you think Hollywood was able to publish a movie about real corruption? Because they named no individuals or entities, they only blamed the industry at large. And that's how the real crooks win.
The Hunger Games (2012)
What a Horrible Score
Tell me, what is the theme song of Hunger Games? Exactly.
This is what happens when you think the score doesn't matter. Your otherwise good movie becomes subpar. It could've been 8.0 but objectively it's around 6.4.
The Mandalorian: Chapter 9: The Marshal (2020)
A cinematic filler episode
A classic filler episode pilots season 2. Bad move, nice shots.
