Short scene. Watch this and see what you dream about.

Full movie with ads under misleading title

I just watched Dark City for the first time. Apparently, the director was quite upset that in the theatrical release, which is what I watched, there is a voiceover that explains who the strangers are. Apparently, the studio thought the audience would be too stupid to follow, so a voice-over explaining who they were was needed in the beginning.

Who do you think wore it better? Does face go with personality?

As a newly subscribed member to Netflix, the first flick I watched wasn‘t Gervais series, for which I actually subscribed, but the movie „The Power of the Dog“ with Benedict Cumberbatch. Couldn‘t resist. But what a depressing film that is. Gosh. Somewhen during the movie, I had to open some sparkling wine to digest and endure it further.

Unhappy people trample down on the next weaker one they envy. Down the hierarchy of Zeitgeist society.

Before watching the movie, I looked the plot up on Wikipedia. So I knew what basically will happen. After reading it I was - spoiler alert - pretty sure I will hate him and applaud when he gets killed indirectly by his love interest, who takes just revenge for his mother, which Cumberbatches character drove into alcoholism. A good woman, wife and mother. But the story and maybe even Cumberbatches acting, I honestly don‘t know, as I am a little bit prejudiced regarding him, made me just feel sad and pitify him. His character was a sad victim as well. He just dealed the wrong way with his hatred and maybe even self-hatred.

Well, I am not disappointed, but I am glad the movie is over.

PS: If I wouldn‘t have known it, I never would have guessed this movie was shot in New Zealand. I traveled along the coast and the patch of land I crossed was always lush green. Oh, except in Kaikoura, where I went whale watching! I just remember.

You gave up Prime, only to subscribe to Netflix?

Good talk about the movie between Jane Campion (director) and Benedict Cumberbatch (plays main character Phil Burbank).
