Hereditary (2018)

Mystical beliefs, funeral and non-intimate family relationships.

[5/10 · 19 October 2023]

My friend found this movie on the internet and we watched it.

The story begins with the funeral of a grandmother who is said to have mystical beliefs. The story continues with some spiritual events experienced by this woman's daughter, her daughter's husband, and her two grandchildren.

I saw that the movie was an ambitious production and had a high IMDb score, but I did not encounter the rising scene I was expecting throughout the movie. Even though I didn't find the movie very good, I watched the movie with curiosity. It was an unexpected ending. Naturally, some things remained unanswered in my mind.

5150 Elm's Way (2009)

Can we punish others?

[7/10 · 30 September 2023]

I enjoyed watching the movie. But I expected this movie to be better.

The story tells the story of a young man and a conservative-obsessed man who leaves his family and goes to a different city to study filmmaking.

The obsessive person has certain principles, habits and obsessions. These are to kill people he finds guilty and bad, to leave an heir like himself, to collect the corpses of good and bad people, and to never lose in chess.

The movie had an interesting story, but it didn't have many interesting scenes. It was good to show how the young man was under psychological influence after the events he experienced. The story was solid!

USA: Being Poor in the World's Richest Country (2019)

A Turk with an American dream watched this documentary.

[7/10 · 18 September 2023]

I found it while looking for a documentary to watch. Thanks to this documentary, I understood what the homeless and poor people of the USA, the country of my dreams, go through.

Living in America and perhaps becoming an American is something many people want. The USA is attractive to people living in other parts of the world because various social and human rights are important and its economy is good. Besides all this, it is difficult to understand why some Americans are still homeless.

I hope I will live in America soon and my American dream will come true. When my economic situation is good, I would love to help America's immigrants and homeless people.

This movie would have been better if it had focused on more detailed and striking facts about homeless lives. Still, it was interesting. Thanks to Director Sébastien Gilles for this documentary.

The Call (2020)

Would you fix your past for your future?

[8/10 · 3 September 2023]

I watched this movie a long time ago and I am commenting after a long time.

The story begins with a girl from the past calling her future girl on the phone. The future girl can't make sense of this event, but strangely she gets involved and they constantly change time and events with the girl from the past.

I watched the movie with my cousin. The story was really impressive and continued successfully. While watching the movie, I had the feeling that I was watching a Thai drama in some scenes.

I didn't like the last scene of the movie, frankly, this scene was a bit unnecessary. But I'm still glad I watched this movie!

Black Snow (2022– )

A good series with many messages!

[8/10 · 28 June 2023]

I watched this series in a few days.

It tells the story of the murder of their 17-year-old daughter of an islander family in a small town in 1995. He also touches on immigration, racism and slavery while describing this murder.

In 1995, a group of students living in the town of Ashford prepare a time capsule to open in the future at their high school graduation ceremony, and when they become adults, they come together to open this time capsule years later. Some of the belongings of the island girl who was killed during the high school graduation process and some clues about her death are also in this capsule. Here, the series tells the story of the high school graduates of the town of Ashford in 1995, the murdered islander girl and this time capsule. The series tells the story through the 1995 Ashford town high school graduates, the murdered islander girl, and this time capsule.

The series was good. The actors were also really good. Some scenes were meaningless. I'm glad I watched it anyway.

The Wailing (2016)

Which characters were good and which were bad?

[6/10 · 27 June 2023]

I watched this movie with my cousins. Actually, I watched a Korean movie a long time ago and this was my second I guess.

The story progresses with the occurrence of many disasters in daily life in a small city or town and the police investigating these events. It is possible to see shamans, fathers and ains together in the movie.

I was expecting better content but it wasn't. I didn't understand which of some of the characters in the movie were good and which were bad.

Also, these evil creatures were like a mixture of zombies and spirits. All of this was quite confusing for me in a two and a half hour movie.

Considering the movie's IMDb rating, I was expecting a better movie. I don't regret watching it anyway.

Ritual (2012)

An unusual thriller.

[8/10 · 23 June 2023]

I was going to watch another movie, but due to the similarity of the name, I watched this movie by mistake. Glad I watched this movie.

I think it was a movie full of horror, suspense and mystery. It felt many emotions at once. Moreover, some psychological messages were given at the end of the movie.

I was trying to predict the next scene, but each time what happened in the movie surprised me.

I don't understand why the IMDb score is so low. Of course, there was a lot of confusing stuff, but at the end of the movie, everything was clear.

I like to see mystery - horror - thriller subjects in one movie. Watching this movie was definitely not a waste of time for me.

Cargo (I) (2017)

The fact that the movie was shot in the Australian outback instead of being shot in a big city is a really cool difference.

[8/10 · 24 April 2023]

The movie tells the story of a father who lost his wife in a zombie disaster and tries to find a safer place for his child in the Australian deserts. It's about a family trying to survive a massive zombie disaster and keep their kids safe. Besides that, the Australian outback landscapes were beautiful. The fact that the movie was shot in the Australian outback instead of being shot in a big city is a really cool difference.

The story was pretty good but some things were missing. Could have been a better production. I didn't get bored watching it but I guess I was expecting more. I still liked it!

Label Me (2019)

The non-acceptance of the self and the psychology of immigrants.

[8/10 · 19 March 2023]

Individuals in societies dominated by patriarchy are ashamed of their feelings and try to prevent them. I think the individuals of developed, equal and secular societies cannot understand this.

The story tells of a man who fled the war in Syria and had sex with gay men for money, living in a refugee camp and living with his German client. It talks about the non-acceptance of the self and the psychology of immigrants.

Movie also talks about the phobia of the bottom role in gay relationships.

The movie was interesting but could have been more professional. At the same time, the duration of the movie was short. Definitely It is a watchable movie.

Sauvage / Wild (2018)

I watched this on International Sex Worker Rights Day.

[7/10 · 12 March 2023]

I watched this movie on the evening of March 3, International Day for the Rights of Sex Workers.

I felt how bad it was to be abused.

It is a movie that people can watch to understand what sex workers, male sex workers, LGBTI+ sex workers, gay male sex workers and all sex workers in general are going through.

The film centers around a young gay man and his love for his close friend who is heterosexual but has sex with men for money. In addition, the movie shows the sex work of a gay male man and what happens to sex workers.

I hoped the ending of the movie was different, but that's okay. It was a movie that I watched with interest.

Troppo (2022– )

An innocent ex-convict cop and murderer.

[9/10 · 24 January 2023]

The story takes place in Australia in a small place full of crocodiles. It tells the adventures of a former convict cop and a young woman who is released from prison for murder as a private detective. There are too many natural elements in the shots and the story.

Some parts of the series were moving very slowly, but still it wasn't a big problem. The story was solid. It was also pleasing to see a lot of the natural elements of the region while watching. Also, the music used in the final scene of the series and the generic music in the series were great. I absolutely loved this series! I'm waiting for season 2.

Top of the Lake (2013–2017)

Mystery series to watch.

[8/10 · 1 January 2023]

In season one, the story is about a little girl who is abused and impregnated. It tells the story of Robin Griffin, who was the detective for this event, learning new things about his life and past. In the second season, the story focuses on the death of a young Asian girl who is a sex worker and surrogate mother.

It was a mystery series. It was quite intriguing. I also got emotional while watching it. I stopped watching for a long time because some parts of the first season were boring. After a long time, I watched the first season and watched the second season in a few days. Glad I watched!

Chicken People (2016)

The story of people trying to create the most perfect chicken.

[8/10 · 27 December 2022]

The documentary tells the story of a group of people who raise chickens and other poultry that best meet the standards of excellence set by the American Poultry Association. It describes the psychology, life and relationship with chickens of people who dedicate their lives to creating the most perfect chicken.

The documentary was good. It makes me happy to see these beautiful chickens. But it's sad to see owners love their chickens and other poultry sometimes just for reward. It is a pity that they are seen only as ornamental animals and prize-winning poultry.

I love poultry, I did not get bored watching this documentary. I wish there was more talk about chicken love.

The Titan's Bride (2020)

A protective love man and a naive boy.

[8/10 · 25 December 2022]

The story tells of a high school student, who is a basketball player, while lying in his bed, suddenly teleported to another world by a giant prince. It tells about their bonding and some of their adventures with erotic and love scenes.

It is an anime series that is not very well known and the episodes are very short. The series has only nine episodes, with each episode lasting an average of seven minutes.

The story is impressive. But the chapters are so short, fast and so lacking in detail that they don't leave you satisfied. I can't say the same about the sexually explicit scenes. I enjoyed watching it anyway. It made me happy.

Last Cab to Darwin (2015)

The adventures of a terminally ill old man who learns the date of his death and then travels for days to die easily. It was unrealistic for a seriously ill old man to travel.

[7/10 · 24 December 2022]

The story is about an old man with a terminal illness who learns the date of his death and then travels for days to an easy death and his adventures on this journey. The story also tells about this old man's longing for his youth, his job as a taxi driver, and his special relationship while all these adventures are going on. This story has themes of love, life, death and youth.

It was unrealistic for a seriously ill old man to travel alone for days. Also, the doctor character's euthanasia machine was very ordinary. More realistic material should have been used for such a good story.

All in all, the movie could have been much better. Other than that, the story of the movie was good. Also, the actors were good. It was worth watching.

Banana Fish (2018)

As someone who has watched several anime, it's definitely the best anime series I've ever watched.

[10/10 · 18 December 2022]

This is definitely the best anime series I've ever watched. Child abuse, pure love, friendship, a dangerous drug that threatens humanity and street gangs are the subjects of the scenes you will watch a lot in this series.

I wondered what kind of emotional bond there is between the characters of Ash and Eiji. Are they sexually or emotionally attached to each other, or was it just a friendly and fraternal bond of love? Maybe it was an all-encompassing bond. Among all these various topics, the strong bond between these two is definitely the main theme of the series.

I've watched a few anime series before. I often thought that anime would bore me. But I never got bored watching this anime series. So I have no particular interest in watching anime and reading manga. Therefore, I do not follow current anime and manga. After watching this anime series, I thought that I could follow animes full of suspense and mystery. It was worth watching.

The Truman Show (1998)

How do I know if my life is a TV show?

[10/10 · 12 December 2022]

When I saw that the reviews and ratings about this movie were positive, I thought the story was great and started watching it. The first scenes seemed pointless, but over time I understood some things and I enjoyed watching it.

When I watch movies, I usually want to watch the story continue and more when I watch the end. I certainly hoped for more to come as we approached the final scenes of this movie. All in all, it was a great finish.

I think the biggest reason why I like it so much is that I feel sorry for the Truman character. Because as a spectator, I perceived Truman's experiences just like Truman. It made empathy.

Marrowbone (2017)

Wait for the end of the movie.

[8/10 · 11 December 2022]

The story is scientifically told. It's not like ordinary horror movies. The last minutes of the movie allow the story to be re-understood. Although some scenes are confusing, it is quite enjoyable. I understood all this especially by watching the last half hour. Inevitably, I empathized and felt emotional at the end of the movie. While watching the movie, I watched the analysis video to better understand the plot.

I think the story of the movie is a real life story. It tells of an old time, but the materials used such as flashlights and TVs seemed incompatible to me. It could have been a better movie, but it definitely deserves 8 ratings.

Amazing Animal Friends (2020)

Animal friends are amazing!

[10/10 · 15 November 2022]

A great documentary that shows how tame and savage, prey and hunter can become friends and form close bonds. The series is about the friendship and close bonds of defenseless and lonely animals with a different species for various reasons. The series consists of 6 episodes and each episode includes several friendship stories. Every friendship story is alike. Animals harmed by humans for various reasons fall into the hands of well-intentioned people and find new friends.

The narration is fluent and it's not boring. I've never been bored of watching because I have an interest in wild and domestic animals. I'm also happy to be the first to review.

Have a Good Trip (2020)

Enjoy your trip!

[9/10 · 12 November 2022]

This documentary chronicles the first experiences of some celebrities who have experienced psychedelic substance, with wonderful animations. This documentary is great, but it's missing one thing. It has been told that psychedelic is a wonderful substance when taken in appropriate doses, but no information is given about whether psychedelic is a harmful or carcinogenic substance. Still an interesting and informative documentary.

I've been wanting to try LSD and its derivatives for a long time. But in the country where I live, it is illegal to use LSD. Thanks to this documentary, I learned more about LSD. I thought LSD was just an intoxicating substance, but I didn't know that LSD can cause hallucinations and make our imaginations look real.

Robson Green's Australian Adventure (2015)

A mini-documentary series full of Robson Green's travels and adventures in Australia's known and unknown places.

[10/10 · 31 October 2022]

I guess I'm the first to comment. An incredible mini-documentary series. A mini-documentary series full of Robson Green's travels and adventures in Australia's known and unknown places. The Australian adventure was absolutely fantastic. I haven't watched any of Robson Green's previous TV shows or movies. So I don't know him. He did a great job in this show. I recommend that anyone who wants to go to Australia or is curious about Australia, Australian culture, nature and living things of Australia should watch this series. A great guide for those who want to learn about the great country of Australia.

A Fantastic Woman (2017)

The movie is about the psychological and social life of a trans woman after the death of her older and wealthy lover.

[6/10 · 30 October 2022]

I added the movie to my watch list a long time ago, but finally watched it. I guess I usually have high expectations.

The movie is about the psychological and social life of a trans woman after the death of her older and wealthy lover. The story was good but sometimes I got bored watching it. However, I can say that the movie ended pretty quickly. Frankly, there could have been better scenes. There is not much information about the lives of trans women in this movie. Yes, the story is good, but I'm not sure about the other actors except the lead actor. Maybe the role of the deceased old man should have been a little more. The opera scenes in the movie added a good meaning to the movie.

The Rover (2014)

The story was good but needed detailing.

[6/10 · 16 October 2022]

I love watching Australian TV shows and movies set in Outback. Although I found the IMDb rating insufficient, I wanted to watch the movie because of the Outback scenes. Throughout the movie, a man senselessly follows a group of people. This guy actually seems like a nice person, but also like an aggressive and ruthless person. I couldn't understand what he was trying to do or what exactly he was after. At the end of the movie, I think I understood why he was following this group of people. But it was unnecessary to write a script just for that. It should have been a more detailed movie. Wikipedia says this movie is a contemporary western set in rural Australia ten years after a global economic collapse, but the economic collapse in the movie was absolutely without details. I guess I expect a lot from movies.

Soldier's Girl (2003 TV Movie)

The fact that it is a true story made me both sad and excited.

[7/10 · 9 October 2022]

The fact that it is a true story made me both sad and excited. It should have been a film with a little more detail and maybe a little longer. I was not bored while watching. I watched it with interest and at the end of the movie I learned that the movie is based on a true story. It deals with the confusion of sexual identity and orientation, the gender stereotypes of that period, the lives of trans women, and trans performance artistry. It was a detailed but not boring movie. I love watching old movies on this theme. So like the movies "Transamerica" and "Todo sobre mi madre". In the meantime, I was happy to know that Calpernia Addams is still alive. I hope she is always happy.

Girl From Nowhere (2018–2021)

It was the first Thai drama I watched

[7/10 · 5 October 2022]

It was the first Thai drama I watched. I didn't watch all the episodes in one day, I watched them slowly over the summer. I wish a single event was handled in several episodes instead of a different event in each episode. Because the episodes in the first season were especially interesting. The flow of events was very fast. It would have been better quality if the event stream was spread over several sections and was a bit more detailed. In addition, it should have been clearly stated what the character of Nanno actually was. The first season was definitely better. The episodes in the second season were ridiculous. There were so many meaningless scenes. It was still a good series.
