My rant about movies based on people and true events

My rant about movies based on people and true events.


                         

Besides Horror films, movies that are based on People and true events are the types of films that I’m not crazy about watching. The reason why is because there's no surprise in watching them especially if you're already familiar with the person or the event. Also, this seems like a cheap why for actors and actresses to win an Oscar, no offense OK I’m sure you're wondering how can I like watching movies based on Comic books or novels and not want to watch movies based on people or events? The answer is simple Comic books and Novels are fiction, when I watch those movies, I don’t expect them to be accurate to the source martial most of the time. With that said that doesn't change the fact that writers making changes from the source martial bothers me, well it depends on what changes the creators make. 

That’s what bugs me about the films based on people and events, those films add or change things that didn’t happen in real life. This annoys me because I consider that an insulting thing to do especially if the person is dead or something happen that became part of history. Like I said when you make a movie about someone or a real-life event you have a responsibility to honor the and what happen. If studios don’t think that the real story of someone isn’t good enough on its own, then why bother making movies out of it? I know Hollywood is money hungry but let’s be respectful. I was jaw dropped that Titanic and the Social Network won Oscars and became hit films because those films weren’t accurate. The Titanic movie dishonored the memory of the people on that ship. As for the Social Network really? Mr. Zuckerberg became famous because he badmouths his girlfriend online. Almost anyone can do that watch. 

Venessa, you are the most stupid, brainless, manly, unforgivable, useless, butt infected, spineless, non-seductive, disgusting, fake, careless, obnoxious women I have ever met so far. See where’s my Facebook deal?

I was really surprised that Disney did this with the Disney movie Pocahontas, because Pochaontas is a real person and things happen with her tribe that took place in our history and the history of Native Americans. It's one thing to trash our own history its worst to do it to someone else's history. The bottom line is this if you're making a movie that's retelling someone's history you need to be very careful about doing it.

My I robot review

 My I robot review 

 

Intro: I'm surprised that this movie isn't a sequel to Blade Runner because it could work as one. 

I Robot: This movie takes place in the year 2035 where Humans and Robots co-exist thanks to the three laws robots follow. One day the founder of these robots is murdered and Detective Spooner suspense one of the robots killed him. During the investigation, Detective Spooner learns that there's more to this murder, so he has to figure out what it is before things get out of hand. 

This is one of the worse adaptations I've ever seen so far. I say that because this movie has nothing to do with the book it's based on, so what's the point of calling this movie I robot? What bugs me about this is that there is a screenplay for I robot so why didn't the people who worked on this movie use that? Even if this movie was called something else it won't change how I feel about it because it wasted its premise by making it a standard action movie. The reason I say that this movie could have been a sequel to Blade Runner is that the novel did the same thing that this movie did but differently. The mystery could have been good if it wasn't for the head-scratching moments. That's another thing the movie suffers from plot holes. The movie does nothing new with the dynamic between humans and robots. I would like to know how this world works I mean the robots do public services jobs. So what happens to the people who can do those jobs but not good enough to do anything else? The product placement in this movie annoys me because it's in your face.  

Detective Spooner is a pleasant person to be around for the most part. he also biased towards robots because of an ordeal he when through. That's what bothers me about this character I find it hard to believe that he can be the only one who feel this way about the robots. Also, I wish someone would challenge his viewpoint on them to see if he's a hypocrite. 

Susan Calvin is an employee at USR the place that builds the robots and she sucks at her job. I say that because her job is to make them look human. She's also bland and the reasons why she does things make no sense. 

Sonny (The robot in question.) is also lame he does what the plot needs him to do. That's a shame because the movie could have done more with him. 

I like that the movie introduces ideas if only things were done with them. The film has its moments of humor. Overall, this movie is not underrated to me. It's fine as an action film but not as an adaptation.
