Yellowstone (2018)
well a bit simple western series
It is about a rancher family that is broken by the death of their mother or wife. Something that every family has to deal with sooner or later. The fact that they still haven't managed to do that after about 20 years seems a bit strange to me and I have difficulty understanding it.
But anyway, let's start with the different storylines, unfortunately I have similar problems with each of them as with the death of the mother above.
1. an investor wants to build (luxury) houses / apartments on his land. The patriarch of the family John Dutton is strictly against it. The reason for this remains completely unclear.
I am not a rancher, but I see no disadvantages here but only advantages. E.g. Horse farms for the rich families, cowboy vacations etc. Or just not.
2. the Indian chief drove John's cows onto the reservation to provoke an incident. John, who is supposed to be a capable company boss, knows this too and still attacks the Indians with his cowboys. Instead of bribing some Indians to drive the cattle back, for example, or doing something much smarter.
The reason for this is probably that the scriptwriters are overtaxed to drive the plot forward in a different way. Because John loses a son in the process and tensions arise between him and the reservation.
3. john takes in the drug-addicted son of a acquaintance who is first systematically humiliated. Among other things, they strap him onto a wild horse. I actually know something about riding, and the boy could have died in the process. Presumably, after his ordeal, he is then taken into the bosom of the family, but by then i couldn't watch it anymore. Of course, the boy was "branded" with a branding iron, as were all the members of the family. This made an extremely primitive impression, are coboys supposed to be like that?
4. the youngest son shoots several people in the first few episodes (not without reason). But then, for example, he doesn't think it's necessary to call the police, and he shoots another person so that he doesn't have to suffer? Wtf? Is that how it's done in America? With another he is suspected of murder after he has shot him 5 times in the chest (that was still self-defense) and then shot him in the head (that was then according to the series the murder). The guy is supposed to be an excellent soldier. Why does he shoot someone he has shot 5 times in the chest still in the head (what for?). And even if, the victim had nevertheless with 5 chest shots at all no more survival chance, how can that be then murder.
I found it very unfortunate that I was not able to understand the motivations of the actors.
Nightlife (2020)
Absolutely Underrated!
I watched the film today with my whole family and we all found it hilarious. The story is mediocre but the dialogs are the best we've seen for a long time.
It may took you 15-30 minutes to get into the film but then, there was not a single minute we didn't enjoyed the funny and intelligent (i mean obviously stupid :-) ) conversations and situations. If you like this kind humorous puns, you will love this movie.
I liked this film so much, i had to register to give it a bit fairer rating even so i didn't like german films in general.
