Hello! As part of our ongoing efforts to improve both interaction and curation in the Movies and TV Shows Community, this post is one of many to highlight and boost members of the past week that have posted what we believe is exceptional content.
The Details
Each week, our Moderators will monitor the posts within the Movies and TV Shows Community and handpick the ones that are believed to stand out under numerous factors: post quality, length, and subject.
There are no entry requirements, and this is not a contest, but simply a roundup intended to provide additional exposure to all of you for your efforts. Just have fun posting in the Movies & TV Shows Community and five or more posts will be chosen frequently.

Each chapter covers different periods of human history, the first three episodes ranging from the beginnings of man, through the middle ages, and finally the renaissance. These first few episodes were definitely my favourite, the amount of Philomena's rambling commentary is hugely amusing. For me, one of the highlights of these (and perhaps the series in general) was when she questioned an expert on whether any cave paintings had ever been adapted into a film. Her way of comparing everything to everyday things in the present day was one of the things I enjoyed the most and laughed at the most, for her everything was comparable to a failed relationship or the ridiculous anecdote of an acquaintance. After asking who "invented" civilisation and which was more culturally relevant, the Renaissance or Beyoncé's Single Ladies, anyone would think that a misguided teenager or influencer was asking the questions.

The very return of the dead is both an incredible and an exciting event. No matter how long it has been since they were last seen, they come back to their home as if no time has passed at all. The situation can be difficult for the families of those returns, who had to accept the fact of their loved one’s death long ago and had to move on with their lives. And here an interesting question arises. We all mourn the dead, but are we really ready to welcome them back into our lives under the circumstances? The fear of the dead is a normal reaction of the human psyche and... in general, everything is complicated here and many of the characters in the show can really be understood. On the other hand for those who have lost a loved one, their return is a second chance. It's a second chance to right the wrongs of the past, to apologize for any misdeeds, to forgive and be forgiven, and to simply enjoy the opportunity to have that person back in their lives again. But it's also a chance to go back and relive the pain, grief and sorrow that comes with loss.

The performances are more than meritorious. Hugh Jackman, leaves us a great interpretation of the tough guy who under his armor keeps a sensitive heart that breaks before the onslaught of nostalgia. Rebecca Ferguson gives life to a woman who has accumulated many mistakes, who has lived on the limits of perversion, but in the end finds the strength to redeem herself. Thandiwe Newton is the partner willing to put her life on the line for Nick as many times as necessary, deep down she keeps a certain dissatisfaction for having maintained for many years a partner relationship with her "boss", when her feelings were asking her to go to something deeper. The cast is also quite good.

In this episode we have a new participation and which is presumed to be his only appearance of the actress Ashley Johnson (who gave life and voice to Ellie in The Last Of Us the video game) playing Anna, Ellie's mother, we also have the participation of actress Merle Dandridge again playing Marlene, leader of fireflies, and as always we have our protagonists Pedro Pascal as Joel Miller and Bella Ramsey as Ellie.

Something that surprised me about the film is that in addition to everything said about being a good thriller it has a very good dose of violence, I did not expect this, but yes, behind each murder there is a macabre game quite twisted, something like "SAW" which gives a different touch to the film. And not only Luther has to deal with a murderer who has resources but also has to do it with his mind totally disconnected from reality; but do not be confused, he is not just anyone, he is a very capable guy who knows how to anticipate every move. The truth is that the film, I repeat again, does not bore you because from minute one there is action and contrariness, it manages to get you into the situation quickly and above all it manages to keep you hooked all the time.

In this film we see skin-deep manipulation and contempt on the part of Sergio Andrade for the girls of the clan to always have everyone behind him, making them believe that without him they were nothing. They were girls up to 12 years old, any figure of power manipulated them easily. In the auditions that he did, Sergio asked all the girls to enter alone and to take off their clothes to "see how formed" they were. They experienced constant abuse, he beat them every time they didn't do what he ordered, he forbade them from having a boyfriend and slept with all of them (I feel like they were all girls under 15 years old and he was over 35).

Photography and Best Production Design, both awards went to Im Westen nichts Neues. I completely agree, although I would have wanted Tár to win an award and one of my options was for him to win in cinematography. The Best Editing, as I said, went to Paul Rogers for Everything Everywhere All at Once, a film that also won Best Original Screenplay (and it's really original) and just as I wanted Sarah Polley won her Oscar for the adaptation of Women Talking. And in the same way that it has happened before, the international film that also achieved other nominations, in this case Im Westen nichts Neues, was the winner in the category. It happened with Cold War, with Parasites and with Roma, to name just a few examples.

Let's look at the other major occurrence which was Galadriel or something (the main Elf lady) taking a critically wounded Halbrand (the new man king) to an Elf city where he is to receive much needed "elf medicine." The fact that he got there at all is such an absurd thing in many ways. For one thing, in episode 7 he was gravely wounded and barely capable of movement and in the very next scene he is walking without assistance and then gets on a horse to ride off after being congratulated by the masses who just hours before learned that he was their new king because: reasons. He doesn't ride for just a bit to a boat or anything - that would be too sensible given his medical condition - nay, he rides for 6 straight days without any rest according to Galadriel. Not only does he not die from blood-loss thanks to being upright and bouncing around for that time, but he seems pretty fine and is just sleeping on the back of his horse because that it totally how that works.

It took less than 10 minutes into the first episode for me to lose my appetite for this show. There were many things about the opening scene that just didn't captivate my attention. For the record, each episode of this is just about half an hour. Yet, I couldn't get through the first episode when I tried to watch this 3 week ago. I had to toss it aside for later. Just to give this the benefit of the doubt, I tried again over the weekend. This time around, I painstakingly dug into the first two episodes before deciding to delete the folder I created for this show. I reckon that decision counts as good riddance. I've had enough. Haha.

I still don't know how some supporting characters get my attention so well even more than the main characters, this guy right here got me totally. I've never seen a movie he has starred in, this one is a first but he left a memorable mark on me because I'm researching for more of his movie already lol. He is the main Demon himself but the drama shows how hard he was trying to become a god so he could save someone he loves.

Other awards that I liked their winners were "Best Supporting Actor" which was won by the Vietnamese Ke Huy Quan whose speech moved me to tears, "Best Actor" which was won by Brendan Fraser although I confess that it went to Austin Butler, but another One of the ones that made me very emotional was "Best Actress" won by the beautiful Michelle Yeoh, another actress that I admire a lot since my childhood and I loved it since she is the first Asian actress to win an Oscar so I couldn't help but scream of emotion hahaha. As for the rest, I also liked that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever won best costumes and honestly I didn't pay much attention to the other awards, although I would have liked Black Panther to receive more recognition, and I also didn't like some winners like the ones I will name next.

When I saw this film I was very touched to know the story of this man, and when I did I could only think "with reason" it is a really nice story that could easily be the story of one of the people we know who lives near us, there is always much more to people than what we can see, sometimes we have no idea of the story that has forged someone's personality, and when I saw this movie I thought about this for a while, I am one of the people who they get emotionally invested in movies, so I really had a good time thinking about it.

The story of the ninth episode is a fascinating closure of this story arc that narrates the journey that Joel and Ellie make; in this story is divided into moments where it focuses on the points of view of the two main protagonists and although the beginning of this episode shows us the origin of Ellie, it is evident that the main story is focused on showing what a mother or father must do to protect their children and that is why in this opportunity, the story of this first part of the series must be told by Joel. Throughout the season he shows us how the apocalypse affects those who have survived; he shows us how much they have lost, especially that great part of humanity and where hatred or desires are what control their lives, just as the Cordyceps controls the infected and that is evident in the way Joel acts, who has lost so much that he is willing to do anything to never lose again.

As a true fan, we can't deny that watching a movie where our idols appear, makes us watch it without even thinking about it, as was my case. I remember my mom came to my room one afternoon to tell me about this series, she knew about my love for this actress so she did not hesitate to recommend it to me, because she knew that with my eyes closed, I would watch anything where she appeared, and after watching a couple of chapters, without realizing it, I was already caught in its plot and I do not regret it because as I imagined...it did not disappoint me.
