How to Become a Cult Leader (2023)
Brilliantly executed!!
Witty, striking narration! I don't think that there is a better way to explain the 'boring' cults.
But I want to draw attention to the last part of the series. Look at people's lives! When you ask them, they will tell you: 'Of course we hate the cults that blindly follow a leader.' I am sure that they use at least three different social media platform. They have their own Cult leaders (social media celebrities). Their speech and photos are not different from a cult leader. People are worshipping them in modern ways (like buttons/ comments). If you don't believe me, just check the million-followers fan pages.
All in all, This not just a story of some 'devotee's' but it is a story of human nature, our need to aggrandize leaders whom we believe more glorious than us.
As the playbook says: 'Just remember, in this world, you are either the predator or the prey.'
Anna Karenina (2012)
Brilliant but poorly executed
The main question is 'What is the best way to adapt a classical book to a movie without losing its integrity' Joe Wright's Anna Karenina has a different approach to this question. Theatrical and fictional but also emotional and realistic. I like it! But i can not say the same thing for actings. Unfortunately, exaggerated actings throughout the film destroy the atmosphere of the film, which is well created by art director. ( Here i want to indicate that costumes are quite successful to create the soul of 19th-century Imperial Russia. ) Also, script is too weak. For example, We saw a worker, who died because of the train accident, i expect that something would come about Russian revolution and also we would see some character transformations. But literally, nothing happened. That is one example of the these pointless scenes. So with true casting and scenario, it would be a masterpiece, a movie that is suitable for such a famous classical book.
How to Become a Tyrant (2021)
Brilliant!
Before watching the series, i had considered that Netflix made a movie again about its dear 'US Democratic Part ideology' but on the contrary, this is a movie with very good sense of humor and neutrality. Also the choice of narrative is excellent. I got never bored during the series.
All in all, this is one of the rare watchable Netflix series. As the playbook says, dear vulnerable tyrant, it is a good beginning for your career :)
Good Will Hunting (1997)
OVERRATED
What a cliche! Poor and genius boy is noticed by a rich man, but poor boy is proud because of things that are in his past and denies the modern world and the richness. But then magical things happen. Our genius but poor boy turns a winner. Then he thanks everybody for his great life. THE END.
I know, you see this scenario again and again. Here nothing is different. The only positive thing for this film is that it is well-acted. Nothing more...
Death to 2020 (2020)
Just for propaganda
The idea is very good. 2020 is the one of the most interesting year in our history but netflix does it again. They just use the cinema for their propaganda. i think they see whole the film industry as a propaganda machine so this is just a waste of time.
