𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗜 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗕𝘆 𝗡𝗼𝘄: Entry 4     𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗫     𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱: 1999 by Warner Bros.     𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿: Lana Wachowski and Lilly Wachowski     𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴: Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss     𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵: Netflix    𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: A computer programmer learns that everything he knows is a simulated reality, and joins a rebellion against the Matrix.    𝗤𝘂𝗼𝘁𝗲: “Neo, sooner or later you're going to realize just as I did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.”    𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗜𝘁: Considered one of the greatest science fiction movies of all time, it won four Academy Awards and was the fourth-highest-grossing film of 1999 (behind 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘰𝘮 𝘔𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘤𝘦, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘪𝘹𝘵𝘩 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦, and 𝘛𝘰𝘺 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 2).     𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀: Aside from the famous red pill/blue pill scene and the cool trench coats/sunglasses look, I did not know anything about this movie coming in. I’m sorry, but I never got into this one, despite Hugo Weaving’s best efforts. I consider myself a decent fan of sci-fi, but I just did not connect with the story. Give me a little humor! Considering the reviews of the sequels, this will be my only time going down the rabbit hole.     𝗙𝘂𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁: Until the final scene of the movie, Neo never has more than five sentences in a row. He has only 80 lines in the first 45 minutes of the film.     𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: 2/5 Agent sunglasses 🕶 🕶   𝗪𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗜 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗜𝘁 𝗔𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻: Not unless I take a blue pill.

Robert Zemeckis + Tom Hanks has always been my favorite combo, be it Cast Away, Forest Gump, Polar Express or Pinocchio. So when both of them sat together for their next adventure, "Here" was born. Three things have got me excited here. 1) Of course, the pairing of Hanks and Zemeckis returns. 2) First film to use a technology called Metaphysic Live to Face Swap and De-age using Artificial Intelligence.  3) And the most interesting aspect of this movie: The entire film is shot on a static camera. The camera doesnt move, only the things and people within that frame moves. https://lnkd.in/g7fTyb29

What can Arnie teach us about negotiations (actually using a Christopher Voss technique)? During the shooting of Predator, the movie executives wanted to include a "romantic" scene. As Arnie eloquently put it: The movie is about a group of soldiers running through a jungle, getting hunted down and killed by an alien. And you want my character to take a break, go behind a bush for a bit of hanky panky? How am I supposed to do that? (check the comments for the clip). Technique used (and made famous by Chris Voss): - lay out the situation - lay repeat the request - ask "how am I supposed to do that?" - let them either find a solution, or be stuck. Sometimes, as with movie producers, people are smart and they realise something won't work. Key technique: - let THEM realise it by themselves thanks to the framing, rather than try to persuade them that their genius idea actually stinks.

This book was a breathtaking rollercoaster of political intrigue, betrayal, and epic battles that leave you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Pierce Brown imagined and brought vivid, heart-pounding space battles and massacres to life, with high-tech spaceships, luscious palaces, and provocative characters. It wasn’t an exaggeration when practically everyone told me the sequels to Red Rising were much better, so thank you to the many people who begged me to check it out. Golden Son is a remarkable improvement over some of the issues I had with Red Rising. The writing and plot are noticeably stronger. The characters are fleshed out more. The action and suspense are cranked up several more notches. Really, I couldn’t ask for more in a sequel. I had previously said that the series combines Game of Thrones, The Martian, and The Hunger Games, but after reading the sequel, I would add Star Wars to that mix. The world-building scale Pierce Brown has created is immense, with dense descriptions of complex characters, societies, planets, technology, and political hierarchies. I do not envy the screenplay writer or director who attempts to take Red Rising to the big screen. Rating: 4.7 / 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Want more book reviews like this? Check out my page on IG: https://lnkd.in/gS7vmZxb

Movie Review: "Shaitan" – A Rollercoaster of High Hopes and Hammered Heads My personal opinion, not to offend anyone. When the movie Shaitan was released, the promotional campaigns, star-studded appearances, and striking visuals were enough to create an aura of anticipation. The buzz was unforgettable, and the intriguing posters and edgy trailers seemed to promise a gripping, never-before-seen cinematic experience. Like many others, I found myself swept up in the hype, eager to see what fresh perspective this thriller would bring to the table. However, after sitting through the film, I was left wondering if the hype was just an elaborate scheme to mint money while fooling an enthusiastic audience. Let’s just say, when the end credits rolled, it felt like my head was hammered with a stale storyline that lacked any real spark. Imagine a movie where the climax isn’t something you’ve mentally checked off ten minutes into the second act. Where you’re left with your jaw on the floor, uttering, “Oye teri! Yeh kya hua?” That’s what today’s audience deserves—a storyline so unique, so unexpected, it keeps you on the edge of your seat until the final frame. Unfortunately, Shaitan doesn’t deliver on this promise. To sum it up, Shaitan, with a stale storyline recycled from the crime-thriller genre, wrapped up in slick visuals and a hyped-up marketing campaign, was clearly aimed more at the box office than at true cinematic innovation.
