Succession: With Open Eyes (2023)
Satisfying Finale which couldve been an insane penultimate
Spoilers ahead!!!!!
What I love about this show is how close to reality it is,the events transpire just how they would in real world (For eg: Logan's death occuring at an unexpected time).
Kendall (I like him),but he's not really fit for the job,he's n idiot,he doesnt value ppl unless they r in a position to give him an advantage,he did this with stewy and somehow still expects him to save his ass,which is just delusional.
He wants blind support of his siblings,without thinking whats in it for them?
This is not how you get things,and as much as i was rooting for him,he was bound to fail.
Shiv overestimated herself in a big way,and got played badly by the gojo guy,which is fair. But she's not a complete idiot,she made the right choice voting in a way which favours Tom in a big way.
Roman doesnt give two hoots for this position.
None of the siblings have the qualities of Logan,so its natural that they would not succeed.
Tom walking into the office with the mesmerising music was such a lovely moment.
In the end,this was fantastic,but i wish this was the 2nd last episode and we saw how the lives of these characters go after this development,especially for Roman,he'd be happy and at peace for sure,and see some more of Greg and Tom,as you know,you cant make a tomelette without breaking some Greggs.
Succession (2018)
A nuanced explosion of god-tier dexterity.
Imagine a volcanic eruption: It is terrifyingly powerful,chaotic and beyond control.
Now imagine something exactly like that,but each and every bit of it is conceptualised and controlled,and that is Succession.
It has the best possible writing,music,screenplay,direction and acting,and with all this at its disposal,it by no means tries to be likeable to the viewer (even most of the characters are highly dislikeable),It doesnt care about any one else's validation or opinion,it just exists as it is,giving two hoots about anything else,like a seasoned and arrogant sailor who knows and does his job damn well.
In that spirit,this show is not to be judged,it is to be savoured and cherished.
PS: You will miss out on a lot if you donot watch it multiple times.
10/10 stars.
Joey (2004)
INSULTINGLY BAD
Yep,its not good. Its nothing like FRIENDS.
And a fantastic example of how important writing is.
This like a cheap knock off of an all time great show.
Game of Thrones: The Dragon and the Wolf (2017)
80 minutes of joy
This is the best episode of the year,the last episode brought disgrace to the show,this one brings its glory back. With the execution of littlefinger,sansa's character development is complete.Its good to see her this free. This is the beginning of the end and the hell is going to be unleashed,hopefully in 2018.
Game of Thrones: Beyond the Wall (2017)
Bullsh*t
I'm gonna swear a little,but WHAT THE F*ck! Something that i never imagined has happened,Game of thrones has delivered a completely ridiculous episode.Everybody seems to be having problems with the pacing,since i religiously follow this show,i was happy to overlook them given the time they had to come up with this season but the writers throw many absurd things which r impossible to overlook nd impossible to digest. 1-First of all,good luck to dany and jon convincing the biggest bitch in the world to fight with them against whom both of them r in open rebellion (How can they even think of that) 2-Kidnapping a zombie part (Seriously,SERIOUSLY?) This episode is awfully written,it feels like D&D were totally drunk while writing this nd this is how they came up with this sh*t storm. If hardhome,rains of castamere,battle of bastards etc were done like this,this show would've lost most of its audience by now. Could've been a 10 like the battle of bastards but ends up as the biggest disappointment in the show's history.
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011)
Magic
This film is magic. Right from the first second,the magic starts and it does not fade away even after hours of viewing. The script is wonderful which is beautifully engineered by director zoya akhtar. There are a lot of films out there which will inspire you to improve the quality of your life but this one is special. The music,the dialogues,the cinematography,the story,the mood,everything left me impressed. This movie is worth the time so go and watch it and i am not writing this only because i love typing.
Game of Thrones: The Dance of Dragons (2015)
Under rated
This episode is like an injection loaded with the purest form of adrenaline. Starts off as a great episode then gets better and better. Ends on a fantastic note. The last 15 minutes at mereen are simply incredible and i would rate it as the best episode of the season (I've seen the finale). Hardhome was incredible but this is even better. The fighting scenes are perhaps the best I've seen till date,the brilliance of this show matches the grandeur of this show which is simply unbelievable. game of thrones is among the finest things in the history of mankind,its far ahead than other shows that we see today. Cant thank the makers of this show enough. It is so raw and feels so real,GOT is a whole new world in itself. This is insane stuff and television doesnot get any better than this. Im sure by now u have got my point.Lool
Titanic (1997)
The greatest film of all time.
3000 men worked for two years to build the most gigantic ship of all time,The Titanic,the ship which couldn't sink. 2208 bid farewell to southampton in april 1912.Little did they know that this unsinkable ship was going to sink on its maiden voyage itself. Tragedy struck,1503 people died leaving the whole world shell- shocked. Good story for a movie,right? So James Cameron decided to do it.Years of obsession,research,plotting and 200 million USD went into making this film making it the costliest and the riskiest film of all time. The result? Titanic became the highest grossing movie ever and is still the 2nd highest grosssing film of all time,only 2nd to james cameron's own avatar. What makes the film so special? Its the way it unfolds,the way it is engineered by cameron. The writing,special effects are beyond brilliant,the fictional part of the film has become iconic,everything clicks. When the movie starts,during 1st few seconds,the background music plays and right there you know that this film is going to be special,it goes on for more than 3 hours and in those 3 hours,we are told the great story of the titanic. We get to experience the splendour of the ship,know the perspective of ALL the characters and that in my opinion is where the film wins. Cameron lets us to see the things from every character's perspective,be it jack,fabrizio,rose,her mother,her fiancé,her fiance's right hand,the captain,the passengers,EVERYONE. We see how they see things and it is amazing. The tragedy is shown in perhaps the best possible way.The thrill,the tension,the fascination,the grandeur,the love,the tragedy,in these 200 minutes,we experience it all. Kudos to Cameron for making this unforgettable and immortal piece of cinema which will be watched and loved by generations to come. From a guy who has seen the whole film in excess of 130 times and is still in awe of this magical story,here's a piece of advise- watch this film now if u haven't. It will stay with u for a very,very long time. U don't watch titanic,u experience titanic. The best of the best!
Person of Interest: Razgovor (2013)
Incredible
This was an incredible episode,amongst the finest POI episodes,i would say. The little girl is excellent,everyone would love her and there is a lot of depth in this episode. Carter is a smartass by the way. The cliff hanger at the end was icing on the cake. Better than watching an action film. 10/10
Friends (1994)
A show to watch before you die.
So I have been watching this show from TWO yrs now,I've watched each and every episode for at least FIVE times and believe me,i still love it. What makes friends so beautiful is how wholeheartedly it is written and performed.Its all about love and laughter,10 incredible seasons of love and laughter. Other shows like Breaking Bad,Dexter,got etc are fantastic too,but this one affected me the most. Go watch and it will change your life for good.
