Baby Reindeer (2024)

I watched Baby Reindeer last night on Netflix. Absolutely brilliant.

If you have ever been stalked by someone this series is a must see.

The other story going on in this series is a story about grooming and rape. Another reason to see this TV series if this has happened to you.

The other thing that came up for me with this show was: I’ve made the mistake of being friends with the first person to say I like you, let’s be friends. Even though I see red flags from the start, I actively ignore the red flags just so I can have friend. These always end in disaster because I go against my gut feelings and ignore the danger signs. I will never do this again, even if it means being isolated.

movies

These films are chosen because I like them, but also like the poster/cover as well. Winter Light by Ingmar Bergman is a film that everyone should see because it has so much silence in it. Bergman’s films are similar to Béla Tarr’s films in that there is so much empty space in them, which make you feel the opposite to the films they make these days. Robert Bresson’s films are truly wonderful. You should see at lest one of his films before you die. Bette Davis is so amazing in her early films. Have you seen Of Human Bondage? It will have you quoting the film for the rest of your life.

The Zone Of Interest

I finally saw this film yesterday. I had been waiting four months to see it because I live in Australia.

If you were to see this film without knowing anything about it, you may miss many things in the film because the film is not a Hollywood film. It is much more like a documentary.

Because I had to wait, I already knew a lot about this film, so I didn’t miss any of the information (scenes). My friend who was with me missed several key clues that were in the film. I’m sure this has happened to a lot of people.

I did so much research it wasn’t funny. I watched over thirty reviews and over ten interviews with the director Jonathan Glazer.

I believe that due to the amount of time that has passed since the second world war, more films and documentaries can now be made from the German point of view. I’ve actually been waiting for this change since the year 2000, when I became very interested in history. There is a plethora of films and documentaries made from the Allies point of view. In reality there are always two sides to every conflict.

I will be seeing this film again. I cried a lot during it, which I was expecting.

Frikjent

This show was difficult to get into, but I eventually did get into the groove.

I’m currently in season two and I’ really struggling with the constant lying. I know lying is part of TV shows, but this show goes way too far. I feel manipulated and annoyed. The lies are all so convincing, but as soon as you are sucked into the thought of believing someone, the lie is once more revealed.

I will finish watching the show because I want to see the ending, but I no longer care about any of the characters. NONE of them ! They are ALL so manipulative, and you cannot believe anyone.
