Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
The Good and The bad
It feels like James Cameron will continue to blow your mind away but also disappoint you big time. The only two movies from JC that I like is T2 and Titanic which are nearly perfect.
In this one again, you have the spectacular visual effects and action scenes. On the other end, the story is very weak.
One big problem is the number of incoherence throughout the movie, here is a list :
1. A whale, as intelligent as it might be is an aquatic 'monster' and there is no way it could defeat an army of well trained soldiers 'on land'.
2. There are too few casualties among the Navis compare to the soldiers especially considering they have weaker weapons.
3. There is no way an arrow can go through a windshield cockpit and kill the pilot like it did twice.
4. Why did Jake almost gave up when he was trapped under the ship and didn't even try to save himself ? Only his son helped convinced him to do so.
I could go on and on ...
It really felt like a Cameron movie but not in a good way....
Le mensonge (2020)
A serie not to be missed
I just finished 'Le mensonge' (The Lie) and I have to say : Everyone should watch it (16+). The subject might seem harsh but it is worth it.
Not only, it's based on a true story but it is also a great drama for television. Oh, I almost forgot, it is a superb life lesson. Besides the cruelty of life, it will show you what prevails at the end : Forgiveness and Love. It is stronger than anything that you could encounter in your way. The atmosphere is intense throughout all 4 episodes and Daniel Auteuil is magnificent.
I cried like a baby probably like never for a TV show. You will go through a lot of emotion for this one too.
Parlement (2020)
I hope there is a second season
This show is great. Philippe Duquesne from "Les Deschiens" is hilarious and Samy is amazing. At some point, it is so funny, you will crawl on the floor. It is in multiple languages, English French, German, Spanish... which make it absolutely real and.... ridiculous at the same time. It is a very refreshing series.
