The Bomb (2015)
Nuclear History for Gen Z - Remember to Think for Yourself
'The Bomb' (2015) provides a historical account of the humanity's most destructive weapons i.e. nuclear bombs starting in the 1930s up to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, and comments in short on the current global situation.
It will prove quite informative especially for the young generations who have not lived through any major nuclear crises. One can see in hindsight the steps humanity took in weaponising a scientific discovery leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands at the hands of such devices.
However, I did not like the impartial and supremacist comments; one such example from the documentary is a person saying that the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki paid for their sins. Deaths of thousands of citizens, including women and children, appear to be justified from the filmmakers viewpoint. The recklessness in radiation protection, especially while conducting the Hydrogen Bomb tests is also quickly skimmed over. It's hypocritical to comment on the chances and the consequences of other nations using nuclear weapons, even though United States remains the only nation to have done so.
Nevertheless, The Bomb provides a very good collection of media to go with the events from the pages of history and so I recommend watching it but... reread the title.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Utter Satisfaction
Historically speaking, the final movie of any movie series is either really good or really bad. Marvel Cinematic Universe with Avengers: Endgame - the end of an era - made the best look bad. It is one of the most satisfying movies ever.
Captain America turns out to be worthy for Thor's Mjolnir and saves him mid-fight. This was important for Cap's character as he is the righteous person, but Thor's fans will feel bad at this.
Endgame has been the best in every aspect but the time-travel related complexities. Marvel actually killed it by introducing a new time-travel timeline type, given that every other movie uses one of the conventional types. But they just skipped over some important details. We've seen dozens of minutes of screen-time spent on the birth of Vision and the Iron suit and the mini-arc reactor in the previous MCU movies, why not the time machine? This oversight in explaining the time travel bothers me. The whole infinity 'war' is 5 hrs long. This is a small setback, they should've gotten deeper into the time machine stuff.
That 4-second Peggy Carter and Steve Rogers scene was one of the most pleasing things. I would LOVE to see more of Nat. But she's getting a film all about herself, and that settles things. Loki didn't return but we have already mourned for him.
