The Babylon Bee: What Is a Man? - A Babylon Bee Documentary (2022)
A highly informative well presented documentary
This film really opened my eyes to the media disinformation about what is being promoted as what a man is, this film exposes the controversy and media perpetuation of men not being women and the defamation of madness bybthe corporate media, it really is a ration and shameful indictment of what corporate media is trying to do to perpetrate that men just cannot be allowed to be men and enjoyr horses running across the beach and teddies and how review sites and social media tries to censor men being just..... natural, it exposes how the Liberal media is trying to reformulate what it means to be a man and I am glad that this groundbreaking and in depth and serious set of question evoke many different opinions in people and should be a guide to the global south and East as to solid representations on madness and coherent understanding of what it means to be a man.
This should be required viewing for all personal and social education classes in schools across the Western and Chinese worlds...
Well done to the produces and cast for presenting a non biased film and just asking the simple question. "What is a man"
Parallel Man: Infinite Pursuit (2014)
Classic Sagan and 80's classic golden age sci fi- the best type
This was great sci fi- the animation style looks a bit like Titan AE- which was average- but this graphic ensemble is awesome- the music the tone and the expressed loyalty to 80 classic age sci fi- I spend all my time searching for quality films and story like this.
Yes there are some plot mcguffins perhaps- and maybe not- there could be other intended backstory as part of this concept- the art style is truly awesome and it carries the viewers- there is a slight syd mead vibe that is sorely missing from much of modern cotten candy sci fi that really is not trying to capitalize on properties-
the themes like AI, a self contained time travel device unit- far advanced technology is palpable and left out of modern sci fi also so much so its criminal-
really hope to see this show expanded and become a full cartoon series.
Also great cast for the film- some of my favorite actors.
Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
Thor Love and Chunder
This film took everything that was awesomen about the Gorr and Thor series of comics and with the help of Taika White ET produce a steaming pile of goat droppings Absolute waste of an incredible opportunity, they might as well just handed the production to the Karens at Sylvia Young theatre school and Empress Karen herself Kathleen Kennedy... Stinky toes down.... I honestly hooe this gets rebooted.
Ni shi wo de chun tian (2022)
Mawkish it was described in critics reviews, but media has a bone to pick with China in general
This film was as one critic put it anodyne and I agree with that, I thought I was seeing an American drama, then I thought it was Korean, didnt even know it was a covid film, and then it hit me its just an annoying meaningless Covid simulation to put a kind if sanitized face on the whole situation.
Western university scholar statisticians have already concluded ar Princeton and elsewhere that lockdowns only will have prevented 0.2% of the total deaths.... Which means an age related policy with the use of monoclonal antibodies woukd have been entirely sufficient for this pandemic.... Both China and West (Canada) have shown they have the same traits in common.
I have seen many films like this, and this one just was stale as it had an agenda. The only good thing about this film was the cinematography, the audio felt authentic. The film was mostly shot with a blue hue and some of the internal home scenes with a red hue.
There was only two people at the showing including me, I spent most time on my phone at the back listening to Jorden B Peterson I just could follow the story for more than about 20% of the film with some of the better character elements buy it failed to deliver ad it focused to hard on the five sections of protagonists, more public interactions would have given the film a stronger vibe.
The film also ignores the much more gritty later Shanghai and Tianjin lockdowns of 2021 Christmas and New Years. Xi's handling of this situation I think deserves some criticism, none of the political drama we have seen in the West, no sense of the international dimension in the film.
The child scenes were bizarre and paranoid and reflected hysteria and or delerious introversion.
The film kind of droned on too long being over the full two hours, one thing it did show was a kind of modernization in China society however, a lot of use of comfy and soft fabrics almost seemed to be a theme and part of the montage and pastiche of the film some how regarding the gazing and panning closeups so at least the cinemmatography was visceral and had an ability to pull in the viewer.... There was a change in styke as the film progressed into almost as if a close up partner or ghost was hovering in the scenes focusibg close on detail, getting more sweeping and dream like taking away from the more anxious and suffocating scenes like in the hospitals.... But somehow it just didnt cone across as authentic for some reason, especially with one characyer beating himself uo for half the movie because too many patients died on his section on his watch consecutively, so the shame element here is preserved with trauma that really could have done more in terms of showing more grown up reflections rather than constant self loathing and feelings of failure.... For half the film.
There was missing strong senses of resokution, the film felt too padded and then swam into candyfloss corners.
