I literally felt the same way while watching it today. A full narcissist on display and in true form, constantly putting herself in a good light, downplaying her bad behavior, and an obvious liar. She "character assassinated" anyone who says anything negative about her. That lawyer is just as despicable. I believe her son, the one she put away. She wanted to make sure nobody believed him. And why would the driver lie and give details about the murder? She definitely had it in her to commit murder. She is all about herself ans her image and would do anything to preserve that. She used people for her gain. I don't believe she cares about anyone but herself. And she'll only fake love you if you love her and allow her to manipulate you. Otherwise she has no need for you. It honestly disgusted me how bad she talked about everybody else and actually looks at herself as this great person who is a victim. And then end when it said the body of Sheena is still unclaimed in the morgue just angered me to no end. The defense saying it's not Sheena when it was confirmed with DNA. Creating doubt is just more manipulation. The whole case is just sickening. I hope justice prevails.
You should say your post has spoilers. I'm almost done watching this but didn't know the end.
I agree it could have went that way, but I think it was mostly a story around that main women who oversaw the min/body simulator, which helped those who were frantic and losing it. The movie did show many were struggling and having panic attacks and depression. But it did not show much of homicidal behaviors, just suicidal. Realistically, I think some of the people in charge would have shown more authority. They didn't show any medical facilities or offer any mental care other than the simulation room. People were lining up each day for years until it stopped working. Then people just went crazy, lost faith and checked out. There were so many things they could have touched on but I guess an average length movie didn't have enough time. This concept would make for a good series. That way they could show more of the religious sects, the crime, the crazies, the mental disorders, how people dealt with relationships and adding more children to the chaos, creation of hierarchy besides the lame captain, encounters with meteors or small celestial bodies. There are so many scenarios that would happen with a city of people flying through space, externally and internally.
He was playing an Oompa Loompa, a fictional character in a fantasy movie. He wasn't portraying Peter Dinklage. It literally could have been played by anyone, no matter their height. Hugh Grant's character was unnaturally tiny and he did mention that he was much smaller than the others of his kind. So even if they used an actor with dwarfism, they still would have used CGI to make him very small. I personally liked HG playing the Oompa Loompa. It was cute and funny. This is an unnecessary debate on a silly topic. Also, the term "midget" is also not used anymore. Just your comment alone is disrespectful. And the movie wasn't depriving anyone of anything. Think outside the box. It's a movie, a fictional fantasy movie.
I agree. I felt the same way when I saw it 2 days ago. I was so over it. I found myself getting bored and scrolling FB, checking my bank activity, adding things to my grocery list and dozing off a few times. I thought it would be a cute movie. I'm a young grandma and wanted to enjoy seeing something different. I'd rate it 4/10. It's just not my kind of movie I guess. No biggie, at least I can say I saw it.
I tend to agree with the OP. This movie wasn't very memorable. My husband fell asleep within the first 30 minutes and I felt bad that I dragged him with me to see it. It was all over the place, it wasn't captivating or worthy of pondering on after it was over. It just disappeared from my mind. I couldn't even tell you what it was about. Forgettable to me.
I saw it at AMC and didn't experience that. It was cool as always. I haven't heard of this happening.
You are absolutely correct!
Agree. Yes, it's an ugly topic, but it must be acknowledged and spoken about. There needs to be more awareness to it. We can't bury our heads in the sand any longer. At this point it's about protecting the most vulnerable of our society. It's strange to me that people want to cancel speech about it rather than be pro active in the cause. At least acknowledge it and realize we can do our part to fight and prevent such atrocities as human trafficking and child s***** a****. The ones that snub their noses at this movie, either want to remain in denial bcz the subject is too unpleasant or are okay with this evil for whatever reason. Anyone who turns a blind eye is part of the problem as well. Human traffic scouts are emboldened bcz there is a market and lots of money involved. Honestly, that's one of the scary things to me. People that have enough money, can do and buy just about anything they want. Money buys silence as well. The first step is bringing awareness. Those evil people don't want you to know what's going on in the darkest parts of society. They want you to go about your business and pretend that this is not a real problem. Heaven forbid we talk about it! Oh no! This needs to be talked about!
This review pretty much sums it up and I totally agree with everything. My guess is lots of people will feel the same. I'd give it 1 out of 4 stars, maybe almost a 2 because the acting wasn't bad.
