The Color Purple (2023)
Musical? Really?
The original movie was beautiful it spoke to all women and the abuses they suffer in life. The struggles of bring the weaker sex in a time where women were not much more then live stock.
It touched so many important issues. Motherhood, loss, love, friendship, marriage and ultimately superation.
A simple woman, black, ugly, poor, ignorant but intrinsically stunningly beautiful inside and her journey to happiness. The story is so sad and heartbreaking that I cannot see anyone bursting into song. But in this movie they did exactly that!!
Why? Why would you do that?
The characters are shallow and incongruent. They are miserable but sing and have fun at the same time.
I wonder if the issue is me. I just hated it. I mean she just had her children taken away but sang about it. And wait a minute what's with the prisoners with mallets? I didn't get it. And it's not at all a movie I'll ever watch again. Sorry. Not for me.
The Victorian Murder Files (2024)
It's murder to watch
Soooo... I like to learn about murders. I just do. I want to know why and how and also like to understand how they got caught.
This show seemed interesting historical murders revisited. I only have managed to watch 40% of the first episode. And here is what I thought about it:
Slow, sluggish and repetitive.
Gave me the impression that it was rushed, the budget was inexistent and no one really took the time to research the actual facts.
Regarding this murder (in the first episode) I found a newspaper article which was much better than the 45 mim I lost in my life to hear the same conclusions from several 'experts' several times.
Could not finish. Will not watch.
