American Rust (2021–2024)

Extremely rusty radical political world view

[3/10 · 13 April 2024]

This series is extremely leftwing politically.

Every leftist mischaracterization possible is put on display here. From every cop being a drug addict and corrupt, to every criminal who is jest being held down by the system. Unions are portrayed as the perfect solution to all problems, and every person in the entire legal system has it in for the little guy.

It even portrays all prison guards as corrupt and part of a Nazi plot.

The acting is good, and the filmography is solid. Even the music is well chosen to tell the story. But its hard to miss a scene that isnt trying to sell a hard left world view.

Warhorse One (2023)

Good movie. Worth the time.

[8/10 · 11 January 2024]

I enjoyed the story and appreciate the quality for a lower budget movie. Yes, much of the CG were not perfect , but a good story can be told without high dollar CG or big budget editing. The acting of the main characters was good. But some of the opposition force acting was mediocre.

Strong got the characters personalities right. Which is hard these days with so many cliches out there.

I also appreciated the lack of politics in the movie. Each character was just there doing their jobs.

I look forward to more movies my strong and hope he continues to brig good stories to the screen.

Good on Mr Strong.

American Pastoral (2016)

Mental illness in young girls

[7/10 · 28 November 2022]

This was a good story of the mental illness that young girls experienced in their rebellion. The actors did a really good work of trying to represent the challenges of dealing with mentally ill children.

Sometimes theres nothing a good parent can do to help the mental illness that a child is born with.

Even though the parents tried everything and did their best, a highly influential child with mental illness can do great harm to society.

Great work by Jennifer and Ewan showing the challenges faced by good people.

I would have liked more psychological insight into the damaged personality that led to her seeking extremism.

Damsel (I) (2018)

Watch only for photography

[3/10 · 17 July 2022]

Not good story , nor accurate to time of story.

Mis-characterization throughout.

Tried to put 21st century ideas into the 19th century.

But great filming and photography.
