Wish (2023)
I didn't like it
So there's a chance that my dislike for the movie is in large part because of how I'm not 5 years old anymore. But you know what? I finished the movie, went home, rewatched frozen (to prove that the 3d animation Is not the bad part), and it was fire. So.
I'm not a movie critic don't have words for this. But Wish was so disingenuous. When magnifico's villain song had a Disney pop beat I couldn't stop thinking of all the Disney villain songs I've heard in my life. A friend like me, mother knows best, the banger in the hunchback in notre dame, even gaston's song? So much character. The lyrics are so thoughtful& so indicative of character. It feels like you are truly an observer in a different world rather than a person sitting in a boys bedroom as he plays guitar for you and looks up every so often to make sure you're paying attention
This isn't my own thought, I saw this in a tiktok before I watched the movie -- but this turned out to be one of my main problems. Asha didn't have much character development? Her perception of Rosas changed, but her character remained essentially the same throughout the story. It wasn't challenged by the plot. She accepted her circumstances quickly and the plot, starting at around the 15 minute mark where Magnifico tells her basically "I'm evil", demanded no internal change from her. She wasn't pushed. The gap between what she initially wanted and what she turned out to need was bridged in the first 15 minutes so what's the movie after that?
Ok heres my one petty one. I just don't like everyone's faces with the new 3d Disney Pixar thing. Why do the animal sidekick and villain and protagonist all have the same doeish eye shape cmon
Ok here's another petty one. There was such a big cast of side characters and literally the only ones that I approved the inclusion of by the end were the best friend and Simon and maybe the little one. That's minus like 6 people
Here's what I liked: the star made me laugh, there was a lot of representation, I thought Simon being the one to turn asha in was very interesting even though they didn't build that up as much as I would've liked (he was so scary in demon form. They could've made him a terror if they wanted, but the vibe instead was 'bloodless childrens movie'. And btw if that vibe was consistent id be like OK, but at the end of the movie they locked Magnifico in a mirror for the rest of eternity), and the goat was funny.
Class of '07 (2023)
Good things and bad things
I have never been so conflicted about a show. It was really bad. But the premise is so excellent that I dove right into it -- & then but again, from my pov the shows understanding of the premises intrigue is so lacking that it was sometimes almost impossible to continue watching (less lord of the flies more trapped-together-in-grocery-store-for-a-couple-days). Sometimes a character would have something very important to say, save the key words for the end of their sentences, & be interrupted over and over again. Zoe was spurned by everyone for nothing. At the beginning of the show before the apocalypse had happened, zoe saw water like bursting out of the ground, and tries like I'd say pretty hard to tell everyone and they all ignore her. This is frustrating to begin with. But go on class of 07. So zoe accepted that no one was listening and tried to reconnect with her graduating class -- then, unfortunately, they all went outside and saw that the sea level had risen above civilization, to the peak of this hill, and everyone they know and love was surely dead (I will come back to this). Ahh. How sad. No one couldve stopped this. EXCEPT OBVIOUSLY ZOE WHO SHOULDVE MAKE MORE OF AN EFFORT TO COMMUNICATE TO US THAT WHAT *SHE ASSUMES* IS HAPPENING (SOME WEIRD GEISER STUFF), IS HAPPENING. They all agree this is true. In fact they all come to this conclusion at once. All of their brains lead them there. People at several times imply or outright state that it is Zoe's fault for causing the apocalypse. Bruh if they even knew it was happening, what were they gonna do about it? Call their loved ones I guess, but save the world from its reckoning you will not wtf.
Then it takes them a weirdly long time to discern that the apocalypse has killed everyone on earth. They are all like assuming for some reason that their families are all alive and there's help coming for them. Dude? They ended up not being the last ones left alive, but I'm afraid I personally would not assume that to be the case like what can you see bro can you see your family about a couple miles out floating on a canoe? If not I have some bad news for you that should NOT be news to you
American girl sandy is upset that she can't find her designer bag and stress eats through like more than half of the groups food supply in a day. People r mildly irritated with her. They are naturally more upset with zoe for not stopping the global manifestation of gods wrath. Let's go queens
No character in this show will ever say what ur thinking. I believe some of the notable ones I was hoping for were: "omg don't forgive her" "What the hell is your problem with zoe! Shes done very little wrong" "Guys I am not a doctor" "Hey Renee don't worry we know you're not a doctor already, it's super obvious. So we're not gonna put you in charge of any surgeries or anything." "Hey amelia, what's your problem with zoe?" "Stop arguing about this teenage bs! I dont care, lets go forage for food in the woods" "Do something useful idiot!" "Saskia do you feel like we might be wasting what energy we have left by digging 30 latrines instead of, say, pooping on the ground, maybe even using it as fertilizer, and using that energy to fish and farm and make fish traps and stuff" And none of it is ever said.
I started to wish I was in this situation with them... but I know that it would just be more hellsih for me than any of them. I couldnt. Trapped on an island with the only people left alive: morons who refuse to hear reason (except Zoe I'd be friends with zoe at any point in the show, never hated zoe. Ik she was complicit in Sandy's murder but girl if I was on the island I would've done anything to be complicit in Sandy's murder)
Anyways it just goes on like that. Every petty conflict (Amelia doesnt like Zoe D:!) is treated with the same or more seriousness than a serious conflict (Saskia is forcing us to waste precious electric energy on straightening and styling our hair unnecessarily.). No woman is acting like how I believe that anyone else would act in this scenario. Its almost in... I cant describe it, but its uncanny valley to see these women perfectly manicured and made up (I have seen some mascara in my time watching this) and in clothes that fit them perfectly snd outfits that change out multiple times an episode despite them dressing out of the SCHOOLGIRLS' wardrobes. It's hard to watch. Its an exercise in seeing how fed up i get before i have to turn it off. It's shocking. It's unbearable.
Its.......... camp.
And there you go 3 stars very good excited for the next season.
