Legend of the Seeker (2008–2010)

No peace

[8/10 · 29 October 2023]

The series impressed me from the first episode. I really liked the girl who was a confessor. This role is simply made for Bridget Regan. Her blue eyes are magical. But she's not at all suited to playing villains. At first I didn't like the Seeker Richard at all; I kept thinking how difficult it was to find a good-looking actor. But by the end of the first season I got used to it and even began to like it. And if you dye it blond, then he's basically a prince. I am absolutely delighted with the wizard Zediccus, even from the moment when he is just an old man who is not of this world. I also can't help but notice the gracefulness and cuteness of Darken Rall and his opposite double - a funny sight.

The series is wonderfully done, but it's a bit too fussy. The heroes are constantly in danger, they need to run, do something, save someone, search - but that's probably why this is a series about a seeker. So everything is normal here. They just need more suits. And everything is quite bright and colorful, especially the landscapes.

But we must try to keep the film out of the eyes of children, probably even 18+. There were a lot of explicit and angry scenes, and at the end the lesbian kisses were clearly unnecessary. I think this is from another opera.

The end of the series unfolded in such a way that until the last minute they kept my central nervous system in suspense that someone would still leave the cheerful company. But thank God it worked out.

Witches from Heaven (2011)

No matter how hard you try to escape your dark side, it will find its way to you.

[9/10 · 28 October 2023]

The series impressed me so much that I even started seeing it in my dreams. This is the work of real professionals, for which I am very grateful to them. I don't even have words to describe how beautiful, elegant and enchanting it is. Mysterious and exciting music, soul-stirring poetry, vivid symbolism (Statue in the form of angels). The film is useful because it makes you reconsider many stereotypes and values of the viewer, helps you remember your own life and even perhaps evaluate it, sudden motivation and interest in life awaken, faith and caution appear... awareness in the end.

Everything is as it should be - the light side is in harmony with the dark. The series clearly shows how opposite these images are and how close their boundaries are, which sometimes merge and it is already so difficult to distinguish whether this is good or vice versa.

The actors were chosen perfectly. The following characters were especially impressive:

Valeria is a sweet girl, full of kindness, sympathy, and fairness towards people and especially towards her family. (no matter how it is considered in the series) I really liked that she is a vegetarian - this is an important point.

Natael is a true angel, the very embodiment of compassion and virtue (despite his past act, because everyone makes mistakes). I was very impressed by the moment when he took off his hood and his aura began to shine - he is beautiful.

Damian evoked different feelings. And yet he is a positive character. (The appearance suited the role especially well.)

Alexia is a sore subject. But I like that the series tells how she came to such a life. The actress is super.

Duna - The most evil that can ever exist. I'm in awe of this cute little girl who is 600 years old.

In principle, I liked the whole dark family, especially their sado-masochistic and role-playing games and pranks. But among the light ones it was a little unclear, for example, how love and care for one's family is selfishness, and in many things their logic was not clear. And I would like to know how, firstly, these two warring forces appeared - some kind of introduction and secondly, the original stories of Graciel, Duna, Iris.

I was about to give it a 10, I wanted to believe that Valeria would stay with..., but...

Water (I) (2006)

I'm on the side of the light

[8/10 · 27 October 2023]

Reviews of this film flooded all media. There is a real information war going on.

Why did it happen that after disputes with the so-called scientists and priests, a riot began? But because they have power over people and fight against all natural and elementary things. Because it benefits them. Who needs people to live in close connection with nature? Science has proven one thing, science has proven another - that means it's true, yes. True. Well, of course. And the priests also didn't like it - both means it's impossible. True. I really want to laugh, but it's not funny. This is where the real zombies come from. It turns out that it's not always from TV, more often from the "zombies" themselves on the Internet, who post links with very, at first glance, plausible and original articles for ordinary people, saying that don't listen - it's all nonsense. Water is just water, nothing more. That's all there is to it.

The fact is that many are still sleeping, but this will not always be the case. The time has not yet come for science to accept esotericism, but that time will certainly come. A new time will come - the time of the sixth race. When there will not even be a need to argue about such things as water - everything will be clear to everyone without experience. Therefore, science will have nowhere to go.

Well, everything is clear from the film! Really not? We must at least try first before making mistakes ourselves and spreading these delusions to all civilians.

A Warrior's Tail (2015)

Cartoon about courage and valor

[9/10 · 26 October 2023]

A wonderful cartoon, I didn't even expect it to be like that.

Unusuality, originality and originality know no bounds.

The very idea of the cartoon is very important in our time, that a little boy grows up to be a brave and real man, capable of protecting his family and other creatures around him.

This is a cartoon about true eternal friendship, love, kindness and care. Very good musical accompaniment. The cartoon contains the spirit of shamanism - which is very successful, as well as unusual and very appropriate humor: for example, a mosquito on a throne on the shoulder, a three-headed vicious monkey, a cowardly pink creature in the role of a deity... all this is very funny.

The characters of the cartoon are delightful: the Werewolf is a handsome prince, Nandi is an Indian girl - the very embodiment of the Goddess Adi Shakti, the image of Savva is an ideal, very sweet boy.

I would also like to note that it was a pleasant surprise to see, instead of a wizard's castle, our traditional and famous Russian hut on chicken legs, and most importantly, that there was not the evil Baba Yaga, but the kind Mother Yogini - as it should be. I was very, very pleased with the cartoon, all the kids should watch it!

Mahabharat (2013–2014)

Cleaning karma

[10/10 · 25 October 2023]

At the moment, Mahabharata is the best series in terms of spirituality. It has everything that could be. Here we see how it all plays its roles. What events happen, who reacts to them and how, how our heroes live their lives in love and kindness, how they cope with difficulties and misfortunes, what kind of relationships they have, how they came to their harmony, what cannot be done, what is dangerous to do, and how to live in general and what to be guided by in your life in order to be happy and righteous or, on the contrary, ignorant... All this makes a huge impression, makes you worry, rejoice and cry - emotions are so strong and sincere that they lead a person's soul to special transformations, real transformation .

The film's actors are simply real gods. I especially want to highlight Krishna (Saurabh Raj Jain). He was simply created for this role.

Overall, I liked everyone - this is the best combination of actors. Each actor brought their own beauty to the series.

Mahabharata is a real life-changing guide for all people. It changes life, changes a person, his behavior, his thoughts and even values. There should be more such series and such actors.

I really want to thank everyone who worked on the series!

Limitless (I) (2011)

Drugs will teach false values

[5/10 · 24 October 2023]

I gave the film 5 out of 10 because the ending is unpredictable and the plot is vivid, since I finished watching it, albeit 4 times. The film is well made in terms of visuals.

What I can say from the film itself is simply horror and abomination. The main character is a complete idiot who reveals his secrets to everyone and gets himself into a lot of trouble. Then he buys a bunker, which seems to be made of aluminum. They showed him the slightest light from the darkness, and that's it, he immediately accelerated, immediately began to strive for millions, for power - well, everything was the same as always. He began to follow the values imposed by the herd.

There are disgusting scenes, I had to turn away - it ruined everything. No aesthetics at all.

The actors are all kind of sour. No motivation.

Indeed, you can look for ways to develop the brain, but so that it does not kill a person, but somehow gradually provides conditions for people to develop their own brain, without any pills. But here it's just a common drug.

What does the film teach? Yes, we don't use our brain 100%, but drugs make it do so. But at what cost? Killing you, destroying you. But the person knows everything, is successful in money, his personality changes, he has a lot of rich friends, the most interesting thing is that he becomes very beautiful, strong and invulnerable. And what are we seeing? Why does he need this? To amuse your ego, to assert yourself in society, to find a bunch of fans and no kindness to anyone, no human true values... As they say: "No love, no melancholy, no pity."

Windstorm (2013)

Take care of your fortitude from a young age

[10/10 · 21 October 2023]

Psychologically the film is very strong and I would say very difficult. A teenage girl who once found out what she wants in life and strives for it no matter what: Neither circumstances, nor parents, nor other people who are trying to supposedly isolate her from problems, but in fact manipulate her, because got used to it in life. The girl does not know fear, does not waste her energy on things that she does not like and that do not suit her, in this case it is physics. In the film you can clearly see how her parents are trying to make her a physicist. Why? Because my grandmother also once wanted to make my mother a horseman. This is how family relationship patterns pass from generation to generation. The girl has lively and strong energy, she is like a fast river that cannot be grabbed, intercepted, much less changed. She lives by her own thoughts and not by the thoughts of her parents and has real fortitude, the same as every child has until her parents break her.

The relationship between the child and the horse is simply incredible. It gave me goosebumps and brought me to tears, even sobs...

A very beautiful, spectacular, solemn film, containing all the ideas that are needed for motivation, development and inspiration. The actors played their roles charmingly.

The film teaches such things as how important it is to find your calling, to be brave and go through life, sweeping away all obstacles from your path, not to give up, to believe in yourself and your neighbor and go to the end.

Windstorm 2 (2015)

As good as it gets

[10/10 · 21 October 2023]

The continuation of a film is not always the same as the beginning. But this film is an exception among exceptions. This is a gorgeous film, where everything is at the highest level.

Throughout the film I was worried about the characters and rejoiced at victories and good luck with them.

I was very impressed by the romance of the horses and the main characters (Miki and Milan). Sensual and beautiful. The film is very similar to a high-quality fantasy, the 33rd truth looks like a unicorn and she is very mysterious, graceful and gentle like a real lady, and Ostwind, like a real lover and a strong knight, fights for the love of his lady. For people, everything is completely different, but there is also something in it... probably something real.

The picture is bright, interesting, and not inferior to the impressions and emotions of the first part.

The work of the actors was also pleasing; the new boy (Milan) fits in very well here. In my opinion, there are no shortcomings and nothing superfluous. Here the atmosphere is completely different, not like in part 1 as is usually the case, but completely different, but beautiful in its own way.

There was one intriguing moment at the end where I thought if this really happened, then all my impressions would collapse. But everything turned out very unexpectedly and perfectly. Now I am filled with inspiration, joy and other positive feelings.

Life in a Day (2011)

Supporting low morale

[4/10 · 19 October 2023]

Why are films like this made? I always thought it would motivate a person to do some good deeds or at least even self-development. So that people do not be lazy, do not sit, but create themselves and their lives, and be happy.

Why was this film made? I understood the following: for the film to be seen by as many completely different people as possible. Lazy and wretched, so that they think that I'm not the only one. Half the world's population lives like this. Well, with God.. So everything is fine. Successful people are tormented by their conscience. That they say they rejoice and have fun when others survive. But it's everyone's choice how to build their life. Do wonders yourself or wait for a miracle.

And most importantly, people are shown who live in a way that is generally impossible to live. And they tell why they live this way: some are drug addicts, some are stupid. And they are happy with everything. All the will of God. And the worst thing is that there are a lot of shots showing real sadism and cruelty towards living beings. And they boast of committing evil and lawlessness on our Earth. So this is what the filmmakers support? They show a picture that is deposited in every person's subconscious and changes it, and it's good if the person is conscious, but many will imitate. Psychologists have long proven that if a person wants to achieve something in life, he must look at the favorable result of his goal, dream. Only this will raise it to its maximum height.

This film is degenerate.

Like Stars on Earth (2007)

Children are our angels and our teachers, gifts from the Almighty

[10/10 · 18 October 2023]

An amazing and very deep film.

A very pressing problem in our time is the upbringing and attitude towards children. Parents get married unconsciously, give birth to children without knowing why or why, because it's supposed to be so, because they need to prolong their family line, because they need to play with someone, because... infinite because. But is there any meaning in these words?

This film clearly shows the tendency that the parents' eldest son does everything possible to please them, goes out of his way, he looks like all normal children. And he is always set as an example to the younger son, who has a different mindset, a different character and a completely different purpose, and they always scold him for not being like everyone else and in general it's strange that he is the younger brother of such a brilliant older son. And they simply abandon the child to the mercy of fate.

Who are the teachers? Teachers in our schools, where do they send their children? What will they be taught there? It's simple, they are taught to be ordinary and "normal" in every sense of the word, or they will be made fearful and insecure, they will break their psyche with their insults and humiliations and make the children's horizons narrow. This is the kind of sacrifice that parents make for their children, who do not know and do not understand the essence of things on Earth. Therefore, the film is worth watching for all families, perhaps they will understand a lot for themselves and not make such mistakes, they will reconsider their lives and the lives of their loved ones. God willing!

I really liked the story of the wonderful teacher Ram Shankar Nikumh, which he told Ishan's father about the islands on which local tribes do not cut down the trees that are in the way, but scold them, after which they wither in a couple of days. I will now use this story in my life.

Everything would be so charming in the world if every school had teachers like Ram Nikum. We all have something to strive for. Kindness and love are the basics; without them, nothing will make sense. Love your children and your loved ones. And remember, they are the best and there are no others like them on Earth.

Fifty Shades Darker (2017)

Working with psychological attitudes

[9/10 · 18 October 2023]

"I'm embarrassed to watch. That's the way I was brought up." Throw such attitudes out of your head "What a nightmare! I won't watch this!! And me too! And I ! And I!" Sounds familiar, doesn't it? I had the same thing with the first part. I also didn't understand what this crazy fashion was: perverted books and films about BDSM, as if you couldn't watch something else. But I still looked, and over time I realized that the main meaning was deeper. And it's not at all about fashion or even about BDSM.

This film is worth watching if only for the sake of analyzing your life, internal attitudes (How do I feel about other people's opinions? Why don't I understand and accept something? Why am I ashamed to watch? Where did this come from?) You will be surprised when you realize such negative installations. These are all tensions, psychological blocks. This is what fetters you inside and prevents your horizons from expanding.

I liked this part much more than the first. Everything here is just perfect, everything is just the way I love it: breathtaking romance, faith in 3H (Nothing is impossible), faith in yourself, in your neighbor and of course the sore subject of trust, then faith in success and true love plays a big role in life. Even when everything is against you, you need to believe.

From a psychological point of view, such psychological trauma as that of the main character is difficult to correct; some even believe that it cannot be "treated." However, the film emphasizes a happy ending. And that's great!

Everything is beautiful, spectacular, stunning, as it should be. The musical accompaniment is especially pleasing, the brightness of colors, impressions, luxury and just shine!

Wonder (I) (2017)

A film about true values, love for peace and kindness

[10/10 · 16 October 2023]

This film struck me to the core. He personifies my worldview and my philosophy in life. After all, everything is built on true values: love and kindness towards others, towards the entire Universe.

Throughout its entire length, this film evoked in me a storm of various emotions, great empathy for each character in the film, and this brought a lot of tears to my eyes.

It describes many different problems in our real world and the way to solve all our problems is only sincere kindness from the heart and Universal love. After all, you need very little: to apologize if you offended, forgive everyone, support your neighbor, stand up for a friend, say kind words, be there in difficult times, always thank, understand the other person and imagine yourself in his place, because life is often a lottery. Good parents, good friends and good teachers at school are very important for each of us. All people influence us in one way or another, and if everyone is kind, then our lives will be much easier and much happier.

Thank you for this masterpiece and the opportunity to watch such films. It makes us better.

Bless the Beasts & Children (1971)

Crazy means good

[7/10 · 15 October 2023]

I really liked this idea for the film. I myself love and protect animals very much, so this film is like a balm for the soul.

The film successfully shows the uniqueness of the characters. They are all so different and strange in their own way, in a good way. Boys' kindness, empathy, sincerity, empathy for each other and animals. They are inspired by a common high goal, which helps them overcome their personal internal barriers and external circumstances. They accept each other and treat each other with respect. Here we can talk about absolute acceptance. This state of affairs gives them courage in front of elders and in front of fate. Confidence in your good intentions, clearly distinguishing good from evil and not doubting yourself and each other. Declaring this to the world and people. Their sincerity, fairness, friendship, and team spirit are very inspiring.

We need to show this film to all the children of the world so that they are impressed by these ideas of the film. This film will help you reconsider your picture of the world and think about life more deeply.

Zhgi! (2017)

You have no idea how much you influence

[7/10 · 13 October 2023]

The film touched my soul from the first minutes, starting with the song about the clock. Next, I liked the humor throughout the film. And the funny situation itself about Alevtina's success on YouTube did not leave me indifferent.

The way the movie characters express their emotions, demonstrate their character traits, the greater connection with reality - all this made an impression.

I liked that the heroine still followed the path of her heart and her colleagues supported her, and did not "scatter" with envy.

I liked the emphasis on the dramatic change in her appearance, she became very feminine, thanks to makeup, a beautiful dress and shoes, which revealed a completely different side of her, and people and even animals looked at her completely differently. And perhaps, thanks to this new energy of hers, she achieved good luck and success, because a person's image greatly influences fate. Sometimes talent in something does not have such a colossal effect and not so quickly, so it is not in vain that Maria Star also paid attention to this area.

The new image is one side, the other side is the qualities of the soul that Alevtina demonstrated. She has shown herself to be very humane, someone who keeps her word and her values as a good person. You might think that she did this out of gratitude to her teacher or out of a sense of duty, but in reality, people who have achieved a great position generally tend to forget both their teachers and the friends who were nearby. Therefore, I think there is genuine humanity shown in the film on her part. After all, it was easy to leave, forget everything and "burn bridges." New life, new job, new people, show business.

But it was so important for her to reach Maria that she was not afraid to lose her finest hour and appear in an unfavorable light in front of the whole world. And perhaps it was her humane qualities that helped her complete her debut with dignity.

As for Maria Star, here the character is dual, multifaceted, unpredictable, capable of anything, but she also sincerely wanted to help Alevtina fulfill her dream, and this brought them closer. Maria's heart couldn't stand such an attitude towards herself, she was simply not used to someone treating her like that with his soul, she went into another room, but then it's not clear whether she shot herself, or whether it was the guard who was attacked then they put handcuffs on.

I understood this film as a film about the importance of one's purpose and that there are always and everywhere people around us who can influence our lives in the most extraordinary way and change it. You just need to say "yes" and make a couple of touches to change your image.

Above the Shadows (2019)

Rising above the shadow

[9/10 · 11 October 2023]

Love is only half the battle. The second half is learning to see the feelings, melancholy and pain of other people. In a word - grow up.

(c) Rising above the shadow

This film is a psychologically powerful masterpiece. I watched with great pleasure and in one breath. There are so many metaphors and so many moments to think about.

It's about life, about relationships, about family, about trauma, about falling in love and about a high form of love. About the kind of love when you don't possess, but sincerely understand and want to help, strive to protect the person. You just wish him happiness.

And when it is possible to broadcast such love, the shadow will let go and allow the appearance not only to be seen by people who love this person, but also by the whole world. Because the world is also ready to see and hear him.

The girl really realized her shadow when she realized that all her life she had only asked and waited for something, and she herself had never taken the initiative to understand someone, to share feelings with someone. She came out of her childish position, began to respect the boundaries, feelings, pain and past of people, and thus found herself and her happiness.

P.s. I'm taking him to cinema therapy.

An American Haunting (2005)

Deep psychological film

[9/10 · 9 October 2023]

I saw this film as brilliant. Here I saw that the author raises a deep and real problem in our world: violence.

So it's not just a haunted house movie. The true curse of the family is not in the ghosts, but in the fact that the life scenario was repeated in the family from generation to generation: take a woman by force.

And it's good that this film exists to somehow awaken society to the fact that a woman really lives in darkness, and even sometimes becomes a demon, as soon as she is subjected to this kind of "love without consent."

Instructive for some, therapeutic for others.

Protect, respect and take care of women!
