A Gentleman in Moscow (2024)
A Gentleman in La La Land
Has the world gone mad? Are we in favor of fascist imposing rules, or quotas? Does that benefit art, history, peace, and above all, knowledge? I wonder. I am not going to sponsor a propaganda debate about a series that treats a very important period in history (that can be ground setting for understanding the concept of democracy in Russia through times), like it was set in Narnia (I get the closet, yes, an homage), because DEI ruled that you have to have more African-Americans in films and series. This helps who? Imagine that such labels as Verve or Blue Note decided that there should be more Euro-Americans in Jazz? Certainly I would stop listening. The fact that there is a black man in reeds (or dreadlocks) playing a character named Mishka is silly, historically laughable, and distracting, as it breaks the logical time-space setting. Can it be considered cultural appropriation? Who cares? It's like telling Spielberg that in Schindler's List, the part played by Ben Kingsley should be given to Ken Watanabe or Jackie Chan, because we need more Asian actors in Movies. Schindler's List cast should have more Asian actors!
The Outsider (2018)
This script was stolen from Koichi Iiboshi (story) and Kazuo Kasahara (screenplay)
This is a rip-off that only by ignorance, was produced by Netflix. The titles announce that it was written by Andrew Baldwin. In fact this is a plagiarism from the 1973 film Battles Without Honor and Humanity by Kinji Fukasaku, a director that is for yakuza, what John Ford is for westerns.
Shame on you, thieves. Have some respect for the authors!
