Thrilling, but not inspiring
2 February 2020
I had high expectations for this movie. Sadly, it turned out to be overly-hyped. While it was thrilling and the visual images were amazing, I feel like today's cinema is fully focused on that and forgot about the essence. The movie was good, but not great. Did not tickle my intelligence, or my deep emotions. And that's exactly what a movie should do! After I watched Hotel Rwanda, for example, I thought about it for years, it inspired something in me - to make a difference! It reached my depths and shaken my inner self. This is just an example. Many war movies did that, and I hope these new writers and directors will remember that us, the audience will forget what we saw, but never what we felt.
