Who We Become (2023)
Why was this made?
I'm genuinely concerned why this was ever considered for doing a documentary on. 3 Filipinas living in Texas whose politics evolve while connecting with family during the pandemic.
In the trailer you'll see Jenah talking to her father about being an activist. He expresses he thinks it's dangerous and that she should be more concerned with her own life instead of tackling whole world issues. Now I will say that worldly issues are important, but she Mm-hmm'd his genuine concern and says "The reason that I want to do it is because that is part of my future. If nothing changes, I don't know, how can I live with that?". So what she's saying is she doesn't want to live in a world that doesn't work the way she wants it to work, sounds pretty egotistical.
Her father then tells her to pray, for things to work out, and she proceeds to question him if she was sent by God to be an activist. He fumbles with his words but tries to express that things will work out according to God's will, aka faith. She then laughed at him for not being able to explain himself properly. Also, I was always taught that charity starts at home, if you can't build things charitably on a small scale that helps the immediate world around you, then you more than likely aren't prepared to tackle worldwide issues.
It's listed with these tags:
Intimate
Social and Cultural
Fight the system
Politics
To summarize it's a documentary about people that would rather force others to change rather than work on changing/growing themselves. Say hello to all the Peter Pan's living in Never Never land...
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off (2023)
Slow paced boring bait & switch!
Imagine wanting to watch a show about Scott Pilgrim only to find out he gets "killed off" in the first episode & is barely in the rest of the show. Enter our new hero Ramona & the side characters with their new stories because that's exactly what you'll be watching. If you like watching new things at the expense of the main character then kudos to you, but I didn't come to watch a show mainly revolving around Ramona, as it's not called Ramona Flowers vs the world!
The art style is the only thing decent about this show. The voice lines feel weird, oddly emotionless, and long pauses that really ruin immersion.
I like Ramona but I came to see a new story starring Scott Pilgrim!
