Hamilton (2020)
Three hourse of what exactly?
With all the hype and the fantastic reviews every where, I was excited to start watching this play. I did realize that it was a staged historical musical and I was intrigued what this combination had to offer.
15 minutes through, I was still searching for answers. Sure the Music and the choreography, flashy lights, talented people and... what else exactly?
I see forces in action but I don't see any yield!
What I actually saw after the first 15 minutes is: the first 15 minutes of decent performance multiplied by 12: 3 hours of repetitive good stuff.
To prove my point, While I was fast forwarding through, I couldn't even see any change in stage set or backdrops. Not even in the lighting color pallet. Just the same stage setting throughout. No matter how good a story is, no matter how lively and active you cast, a little bit of stage creativeness wouldn't hurt.
Sorry to burst your pink bubble all you mainstream hype fans. But that's not my idea of entertaining history story telling.
Chicken Little (1943)
A very relevant theme after 70+ years
I came across this short in a friends home and I was curious what it had to offer. The first couple of minutes was amusing at first, even funny at how its classifying chicken society. But as soon as the psychology book came into focus, I was immediately caught.
Control of the masses couldn't be explained any more clear than what is in this seemingly harmless innocent cartoon. In a b c points and in a very simplified scenario, you could see how mainstream television, movie productions and even social media can easily destroy not individuals, not groups but societies and countries as whole.
What used to be a way to attacking home fronts in hot wars of the past century, is now fully destructive cold wars by controlling masses into killing each other.
The irony is, How can you make any sense of the recent Netflix title, Bird Box and why introducing a bird box at all in the movie? I guess because it's an ironic connection with Chicken Little, in the way society pushes its way to self destruction once mass control is used to control it.
