Animal (2023)
When a psychopath is portrait as a hero
This film is a validation to all the psychopath and mysoginist male in the society. This type of movie is a cancer to society where the character like Ranvijay are celebrated as a hero. Those who say a film is just a film, it does not have any impact on real life, then they are forgetting that we all are more or less the result of the movies we grew up watching. How we think now is the portrayal of the environment we grew up, including the movies we watch.
Even if we avoid the issue of moral right and wrong and simply try to focus on the movie itself, then it is a garbage. The whole movie doesn't make any sense, it is full of nonsense emotions which is not normal at all. There is no strong story, the scenes jump from one shot to another without bringing any completion to the former shot. On climax scene, which is very violent, it plays a song about father-son relation with a romantic tune, which feels really absurd.
Now, talking about the characters, the female characters are disturbing portrayal of very weak women, the male characters are portrayal of mysoginist and barbaric characters, but doesn't have any consequences of their actions, rather the characters are glorified and shown as masculine figure. Each and every action of the character Ranvijay are justified in the whole movie.
This film promotes violence, influences demoralized characters of society, and most importantly it is a badly made movie, without any proper concept. Just to hide the lacking the director made it full of actions and violence, so that it can easily make money. Sadly he succeed. But the people who can really judge a movie will know why we should avoid watching these movies. Hopefully one day the audience will mature and know which movies should be appreciated and which ones not.
Qala (2022)
A true masterpiece
The story will haunt me for days. The direction, cinematography, acting, music, all are top notch. All of the actors did a tremendous job specially Triptii , Babil, and Swastika. Their stunning performance will touch your heart. The music has taken the movie on another level, all the songs are truly beautiful. I have not seen such beautiful movie in many years, specially a Hindi film. It will be on the top of my favorite movies now. This movie will take you to an emotional journey, you will feel connected to all the three main characters, and will make you remember the necessity of showing love and respect towards your near ones. I will highly recommend to watch this movie.
Glass Onion (2022)
Huge disappointment, stupid writing, ridiculously childish
This movie is nowhere near the knives out movie, the whole story is utterly idiotic, felt like a child had written the plot, though it could have been better if really a child would write a plot. I have waited with high expectations for this movie to be released as the knives out is my favorite dark comedy. Knowing Edward Norton is in the movie, the expectations became higher. But what a waste of talented actors. I can not even imagine how they completed filming the whole movie. There was not a moment when I felt engaged to the story, the actors were too loud, specially Kate Hudson, like forcing to make themselves comedic. The whole movie is nonsense, don't watch, you will waste your time, do whatever else, but don't watch the movie, anything in the world would be more productive than watching it.
Kaiser (2022)
Top notch thriller series
A very well written and well directed crime- thriller series. It is great in every aspect you can imagine. I have already mentioned direction and writing, the acting of every single character is exceptionally good, specially of Afran Nisho, he is the most talented actor of Bangladesh. The music selection is perfect in every scene, it just connects with the scenes. Cinematography, color grading are also very good. The plot twists are amazing. Initially it will feel a little slow, but eventually the story builds up and takes to a roller coaster ride of mind games. The whole series will give you a vibe of 90's kids nostalgia. People from age 30-40 can relate to every single shots and stories that were used to connect to the 90's era. Definitely worth watching. I really hope there will be a next season.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022)
Disgusting, complete waste of time!
I don't remember when is the last time I have watched such a horrible movie. It is a complete waste of time. Even actor like tabu did so average acting, not her fault though. The story is so lame. Utterly nonsense.
Rehana Maryam Noor (2021)
Outstanding performance and direction
I agree this movie is not everyone's cup of tea, but any true movie lover will appreciate and love this film. The direction, editing, color, story, and especially acting is absolutely phenomenon. People who are giving poor rating really don't understand the beauty of this movie. Clearly they are not used to watch drama films, especially based on female protagonist. The lead actress Badhon alone took this movie on a very high level. I really hope, through this movie, the way of telling story and mind set of general people will change, so our film industry can compete more in international festivals.
Ojing-eo geim (2021)
An exciting but overhiped korean web series
The whole series is super exciting as the episodes are based on childhood games played by grown up people, where elimination means losing life. The tension maintained throughout the game scenes is really incredible and should be appreciated. Though the first few episodes starts slow, as well as the ending episodes gradually paces down. The screenplay, background music, editing, set design are extremely talented. The topic is also pretty unusual though I won't say exceptional. Apart from that there are too many plot holes and gaps that these bugged me so much throughout the whole series, for example (no spoiler), the cop cracking the morse code, or keeping the phone charged even though there were no charging port and so much more. Even though the story line is supposed to be dark, gore, thought provoking, but because of a certain Korean flavor it feels like a bit immature in the sense of logic and in some cases childish too. The most matured acting was done by the character kang Soe-byeok and Cho Sang-Woo. Other main actors were only good. Some actors were painfully poor, especially the VIP's. Entertainment wise this series is a must watch, but overall it's an over-hiped Netflix show, which gives an idea about the new generation audiences who haven't watched good quality shows and gets easily overwhelmed by average shows.
