Ojing-eo geim (2021)
Great start but dissapointed ending
First episode was great, then the story fell into emotional moments cliché, come on, at least not in second episode. What's going on? But gladly, the episode 3 was back to good, however my excitement didn't last. Since round 5 the game started to be boring, in fact the 4th game was already not so good, but round 5 was a new low, it is an unsuccessful copy from Kaji, the Japanese manga, and 16 players for 18 choices can be a dead end for the game, so they drag out a former glass worker to help them to finish the game, and at that point I found the show is overrated. And I was right, the final game is nothing but a boring friend-kill-each-other. After victory they made most of final episode to justify the season 2 and why protagonist want to join new game. OK, I got it, Netflix, season 2 is on the way.
Btw, I realized 001 was too smart to be a loser at 4th round, just don't know he was the holder all the time. So, it isn't a big WTF moment to me.
Turning Point: 9/11 and the War on Terror (2021)
Netflix can't help themselves to make yet another propaganda PoS
Here we go again, starting with ok-ish, quickly turn left and ending with pure propaganda, smearing the politician they don't like and blame almost all on them. Come on, you can't do this all along and expect people buy your BS.
Spoil warning the only informative part in this "documentary" is showing how corrupt the Afghanistan government was as we all know now.
No if I want explain someone how Afghanistan war ending in such tragedy, I will never show this propaganda to him.
Ni hao, Li Huanying (2021)
Great Ending
To be quite honest, I skipped some parts while watching it, the first half was so so, the second half was ok-ish, but unlike the first half the second half had some unexpected developments, still not as impressed as the first time-travel movie they made, at least to me, a little bit boring.
However, the ending was great, and solve the very first question I guess everyone will encounter with at the beginning of this travel. How did her mother recognize her as cousin in the first place? I like this plot twist, it not only fixes the entire plot hole, but at most important, shows the unconditional love from her mother, very brilliant.
The Town (2020)
Ok-ish short anime
I was shocked by the beautiful graphics from the first look, scenes and backgrounds are unbelievable good compare to most of Chinese anime. However, the story was too huge for only 27 mins, I understand that maybe the cost management force the team to produce a short film rather than a regular length, like 100-min, anime film. It is pity that The Town does not have enough time to explain the world nor develop the characters in such short time. Therefore, the director has to use the character to directly preach those what he thinks are right or wrong, and these preaches are most annoying parts of this film even though I agree with them. To be fair, alongside with the shortages mentioned above, it is still a good anime, better than 99 percent of those who were produced in China, if you got time, maybe watch it yourself, it's not long and you can rarely find other animes similar to it.
Babylon Berlin (2017)
Like many recent shows, it falls.
I used to give it 8, after half of boring, non-sense and commie-sympathetic cliché in season 3, I have to say, I think TV industry has some issues. Too many shows have promised starts but suddenly quality drops in the middle, and end up with a huge disappointments.
I can tell this show will go down to the same path, so I give up. It at best deserves half of my origin score.
Knives Out (2019)
Think again, think harder
Marta the nurse is the killer, she played everyone included Harlan and the detective, if you still believe she was innocent and know nothing about the Harlan's will, which gives her no motivation, you are the one of dumbasses as well.
First thing first, what happened in the Harlan's bedroom at the night he was dead is from Marta, she told the detective and showed to us. Great, if you really believe that BS, how is it a lie, you may ask, she can't lie for she will puke, just as she deliberately showed to Detective Blanc and the policemen during her first interview. Brilliant, I must say, she played everyone like fiddles. So, what really happened?
She perhaps, not merely "friend" of Harlan, dare I say, she is a lover of Harlan, what they did in that room including "what you know" between two lovers would usually do. Therefore, the only logical explanation why Harlan changes his final will when he is fully sober is that he loves Marta and think Marta loves him as well. For Marta she probably knows the will from Harland, at least she outsmarts him so she can tell from the daily conversation and Go playing.
At that night Harlan was dead, Marta can tell she inject the right medicine, once again, in the final of the movie she can tell the slight differences between them, so she can definitely tell the nuances at that night. She knew someone switched them to play dirty, she decided let them play, she maybe causes the Harlan's suicide or she cut his throat by her own hands, we can't know because Harlan is dead. She sneaked back to home and waited Ransom to play, by the time she might not know for sure it was him, anyone in this family was possible.
What happened next was almost exactly she expected. We have to notice that since beginning of the movie, she dismissed her mother's complain about her sister listening the murder show, if she was worried as heck about her misdoing caused Harlan's death, she should at least show some emotions and worrisome, however she showed nothing but calm, she is a cold blood murder or player.
In the end, the dumbass Blanc and the others were convinced she was decent, smart, innocent and "lie to puke" nurse who deserves everything, and Ransom attempts to murder Harland and murders Fran, so he should go to jail, and rest of family are bad, which I don't deny, so should move away and live in poverty. Just like most of us have been outsmarted by her. The moment she stood on the balcony and hold the cup on which written "my house my rule", she declared her decisive victory and mocked the rest.
TLDR; Marta planed it since beginning, don't be fooled by her trick and lying POV. This film is like Life of Pi without final reveals of darkness, you need to be smart enough to figure it out by yourself.
The Witcher (2019)
Overrated boring show and story
If you are fan of The Witcher game, don't believe the rate and reviews, this show is one of the most boring show I've watched in decade, not joking, the story is very different from the game, and you can only expected the name you're familiar with in a story you don't get it at all. Yeah, it's weird, and it's what this show it is. For gamers like me, I watched because the game is great, I didn't foresee the show can be this bad, someone said the show is based on novel, I have never read the novel, couldn't know it was a boring average fantasy story, now I know, it's a disappointment.
The Man in the High Castle (2015)
From 8 to 5
After first season I gave this show 8 out of 10, after savvy season 2 I was like to give it one more, but I decided to hold and wait how the legend show end.
Surprise to me, the plots and world in the show dramatically changed in season 3, and in season 4 the show has been ruined. They firstly made up some worlds travel crap which is like magic power already, I can take it because the story in the show is much different from it in the book, so it's acceptable to me. However, in season 4 they change the worlds which turns out that two empires have not yet completely conquered entire earth, so why would they so eager to destroy each other, are they stupid or do the writers get too high to forget about why they went to cold war in the first place? They have no enemy in MItHC world, if they have why shouldn't they use enemies of each others to fight an enteral proxy war? The world in book makes sense, the world before season 4 basically makes sense, because they don't bring a non-existence enemy out of nowhere. Unfortunately, they just ruin their own world as well their own story in season 4.
Capharnaüm (2018)
Great topic with annoying camera shaking
First half was boring, unlike Roma which make boring daily life very watchable, the always-shaking camera makes it even more painful to watch. But gladly the second half was touching and moving, which not only show me how badly things could go but also reminds me the same issue of where I was born, the poor families just keep give birth like they have nothing to do, and their living standard become even lower, as well their children living in hopeless lives.
In general, I don't like the shaking camera, it's annoying and makes me uncomfortable, without it, the movie is great.
