Ex Machina (2014)

Lovely

[17 January 2024]

In "Ex Machina," the blurred line between good and bad intentions keeps the audience guessing until the very end.

The film engages in deep philosophical conversations, exploring the power of manipulation. Throughout, it challenges viewers to question who is truly being evaluated-the man or the robot?

The movie skillfully intertwines a complex narrative that provokes thought on the ethical implications of artificial intelligence. Furthermore, it cleverly touches upon the irony of human relationships, highlighting the dual nature of some women who, in their pursuit of "freedom," employ a mix of humor and sadness by playing with men's emotions.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (2017 Video Game)

One of a kind masterpiece

[31 December 2023]

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice isn't your typical game; it's a heartfelt nod to mental health struggles. The game delves into the intricacies of mental psychosis, particularly disorders like schizophrenia, often overlooked by mainstream media.

You're not just a player; you're placed in the shoes of someone with a wholly different outlook, unraveling the consequences of psychosis through subtle puzzles. Imaginary links, a hallmark of psychosis, become puzzles where symbols match the environment, highlighting the illness's nuances that players might miss.

Experiencing death from the enemy's viewpoint adds a psychological layer to the gameplay. The game's standout feature is its artistic brilliance, with a visually stunning, luminous design that brings the narrative to life.

Battles aren't just action; the final battle, where relentlessness leads to inevitable defeat, makes players face the consequences. The game throws in super hard puzzles and induces stress through dark roth, keeping players on edge. Breaking the fourth wall introduces narrative complexity, challenging gaming norms. Collaborating with psychologists from Cambridge University adds authenticity to the portrayal of mental health. The game is filled with confusing associations for a unique, immersive experience.

Audio engineering shines, featuring vibrant 3D voice and narration that adds depth to the character and narrative. Visually, the character design blurs the lines between virtual and real, intensifying the emotional connection.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice isn't just a game; it's a moving journey that challenges storytelling norms in gaming. It seamlessly combines art, gameplay, and narrative to leave a lasting impact, all while shedding light on mental health in a genuinely powerful way.

Old (2021)

Appreciate any moment of your life you cant take it back if you don't

[28 October 2022]

Movie is very amusing since you are about to see many surprises during the whole, 100% a right choice to watch with family/friends the theme of the movie and vibe of the beach and the different people on the beach is remarkable, even though the whole film is on the same area on the beach but thank to awesome camera angels it never gets boring at all! I could never forget the brutal and uniqe way of death(73th trial = for 73th times ) of the beach members and also seeing minors growing bigger and getting older And the last thing to conclude: observing aging process in a very quick period might look scary ,to me even it looked like a vary bad disease but as it takes decades and ages no-one feels how it actually is...

Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

the whole truth doesn't lie in the dream, or in the waking reality.

[4 May 2022]

How beautiful confused martial emotions were drawn to see,many beautiful metaphors and opposition for example in the movie as they were wearing masks but having their eyes open you question yourself about why it was "eyes wide shut"?

There are many majestic contrasts in the movie to touch further the concept of marriage and sometimes people are not what you see meaning they live in their minds too afraid to tell each other(Alice strange look in mirror at herself=sense of anxiety/incoming temptations) Mirrors in the movies consider as present ,classic symbol of inner and outer world/port to the other world (Alice in wonderland) because the whole truth doesn't lie in the dream, or in the waking reality.

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (1995)

underrated comedy

[20 April 2022]

Second pet detective is much more involving than the first part in my perspective, its very amazing how past movies were innovative in many different ways, these days films are just computer made with non-talented so called actors and actresses.

Cast Away (2000)

Deep story of unexpected things that can change lives

[30 March 2022]

During the whole movie you might think of the reason why he kept his believe of surviving was his love, but the wings on the package has a way deeper meaning inside chucks heart.

He meets Bettina at the end of the movie who had a broken relationship also passively inspiring chuck to save his future, and they even both meet in a same cross that chuck visited 4 years ago.

As Tom Hanks himself added' 'Somehow, at the of the movie, you can stand on the crossroads, and its going to be okay ,its going to be alright.as long as you keep breathing and have a certain kind of perspective and proportion to you life''
