Sugar: The Friends You Keep (2024)
The story is really: "even good souls turn bad if with humans too long."
So, the real thrust of this story is this: "good souls sent on a mission to observe human behavior are seduced into caring too much and can be seduced into becoming evil just as easily." Rather like all humankind ~ even good people can be caring to a fault, but can be easily persuaded to do bad things... I MEAN, DO REALLY, REALLY BAD THINGS!! "Bad to the Bone" as coined by someone who possibly understood the difference between sociopathology & psychopathology. ~ This is a new dish of "good vs evil" served up on a platter of black&white noir movies tossed in for effect & messaging. So, okay, I get it now... & still can't understand all the negative whining about it. To me, it is a TEN (10) from beginning to end. Thank you for everyone's creative thinking!
Sugar: Go Home (2024)
Fake "Who Done It" as cover for a "Who Is He" Mystery
1) Love the theme music ~ simple drums & piano.
2) Love the "hook" ~ fake "who done it" reeled me into the story of what happened to Olivia, who knows Olivia, who obducted Olivia, is Olivia still alive, and where is Olivia now. All typical mystery story "lures" but with a dark-side twist that led me on ~ like a good page-turner book.
3) Clips from old movies ~ led me to wonder if Sugar was really a studio robot programmed with an AI database for a movie, which would account for his hand needing an engineering or program correction & dogs quickly assessing him as a non-human.
4) It occurred to me that Jonothan Siegel may have had Sugar created as an AI robot for a specific movie, which wasn't quite finished when his granddaughter disappeared & he decided to use it to find her.
5) I was expecting a plot twist when Sugar was called to a meeting by Ruby of possibly other AI robots that might need some programming tweaks or bug fixes like most operating software.
6) Of course, I didn't expect Sugar would bleed profusely from injuries, so that threw me & heightened my curiosity even more.
7) When he said "Go Home" like ET, I just assumed it was from the AI.
8) So, I wasn't prepared at all for Sugar to become an ALIEN, like right out of Avatar. I loved being surprised!!
Live to Lead (2022)
Greatness From The Least Expected
A fantastic documentary series! Each of the 7 people were least expected to get beyond their foundational lives, yet they did. With great passion to help make a better world for everyone, they achieved greatness. Greatness that would have gone under the radar until some future historial wrote about them ~ but for the leadership of the producers. It is a reminder to everyone, to stop focusing on being negative & turn to be more positive despite the obstacles. Starting with our own families, neighbors, co-workers, etc. ~ whoever they may be. Their message was simple: KINDNESS BEGETS KINDNESS & GOODNESS.
