Black Mirror SE07: Deceptive Techs, Alarmist Plots

Will technological development truly benefit humanity? Black Mirror Season 7 continues exploring the impact of future technology on human life. However, while watching this season, I noticed its plot twists often strain credibility. Though the writers effectively highlighted technology's dangers, they underestimated ordinary people's ability to adapt to new technologies in unexpected ways—much like how pilots often understand planes better than the engineers who designed them. Beneath its repeti

What 'The Studio' Taught Me: You Can't Love Film By Taking It Too Seriously.

Like many film enthusiasts, I once treated cinema as my entire life. I believed this devotion would grant me entry into the temple of art, only to find this attitude brought more trouble than joy. While it helped me find like-minded friends, it also led to bitter falling-outs that destroyed some of my closest friendships. Eventually, I realized that films—particularly those I elevated as "art"—weren't as important as I'd made them out to be. Though I still love, worship, and feel passionate abou

To the Team Behind 'A Minecraft Movie': Do You Hate Gamers?

Hello Peliplaters! While not quite sinking to the depth of The Room, A Minecraft Movie stands as the crowning achievement of bad video game adaptations in the past decade. Some viewers attribute its paradoxical low ratings againts its high box office performance to gaming fans paying for nostalgia. But no, that's not it! This movie wasn't made to please either Minecraft players or non-players—it was made to feed the production team's own arrogance. I have many questions for them. After leaving t

'The Life List': A Woman's Romance That Also Speaks to Men

Hello Peliplaters! "The Life List" is a movie adapted from a romance novel of the same name. After watching the movie, I read the book. Though the author wrote the original story for female readers, and the film stays largely faithful to the novel's plot, I strongly believe male viewers can benefit even more from this adaptation. While not perfect, it's particularly worth watching if you're questioning what makes a good partner. The story revolves around Alex Rose, a woman in her early 30s who h

Does 'Snow White' Still Need A True Love's Kiss in 2025?

Hello Peliplaters! I hadn't planned to watch "Snow White," but when its audience rating plunged to a historic low, I went to the cinema to find out how bad the movie could be. Somehow, I feel that missing an exceptionally disastrous movie would be just as regrettable as missing a masterpiece. Strange mentality, isn't it? Let me clarify: the movie isn't completely terrible. The visual effects are stunning, and the art design is breathtaking. The forest animals, in particular, truly inhabit their

'Adolescence' and Its Espresso-style One-Take

Author's Note: Are aesthetics of a TV series worth analyzing? Critics typically discuss TV shows from a topical perspective. While viewers often praise a show's cinematography and art design in their reviews, they tend to use descriptions like "cinematic" or "each episode is like a big movie" as compliments. Though well-intentioned, these comments suggest that a TV show's highest aesthetic achievement is simply to resemble film. This reflects our limited vocabulary when analyzing TV aesthetics—c

Netflix: My Savior from "Brain Rot”

In late 2024, Oxford University Press chose "brain rot" as its Word of the Year, defining it as "a deterioration in mental and intellectual capacity due to excessive consumption of valueless or unchallenging material (especially online content)." While critics have long dismissed Netflix's productions as quintessential low-quality content, I've discovered—particularly after watching Adolescence (2025)—that Netflix's distribution model might actually be our salvation from brain rot.

Adolescence Pricked the Bubbles of Adolescence

The older generation often unconsciously interprets the next generation through their own life experiences or simplifies their differences into a single category—educational issues, environmental factors, or government regulations. In fact, young people's development is a highly complex process. In Adolescence (2025), director Philip Barantini explores this issue through four distinct perspectives. Hello, Peliplaters! Adolescence is extraordinary. I wanted to write a review as soon as I finished

Why is Plankton so obsessed with Mr. Krabs's secret formula?

I finally understood Plankton through Plankton: The Movie. For a tiny plankton, trying to rule the world by obtaining a secret recipe isn't just a delusion, but actually the most practical strategy. Yet Plankton seems to have greatly underestimated himself. If anyone asked about the best spin-off movies featuring supporting characters, Plankton: The Movie would definitely be among them. Written by Mr. Lawrence, who has been writing scripts for the SpongeBob SquarePants series and voicing Plankto

The Electric State: A Great Adaptation Limited by the Original

Hello, Peliplaters! What do you think of The Electric State? A few months ago, I wasn't hopeful about its trailer at all. The tone is a complete reversal from the original graphic novel, which depicts a death-by-entertainment apocalypse. Its world is shown through fragmented texts and rich yet lusterless colors. Everywhere, "humans" (or what's left of them) wear Sentre Stimulus TLE virtual reality headsets—their bodies decayed like mummies while the VR devices on their heads still glow. In this

Why is Robbie Williams a CGI Monkey in 'Better Man'?

"Is this really a musical? Or is it an action movie or horror film?" These questions ran through my mind when I first saw the promotional poster for Better Man. Yet it's indeed a musical—and one of the most underrated films of 2024. While several factors contribute to its lack of recognition, being "too avant-garde" isn't one of them. (Official poster of Better Man) Hello Peliplaters! I hope the poster didn't scare you away. Looking back at Hollywood's 2024 through the lens of the Eastern zodiac

Exit Through "Bong Joon-ho" and the ‘Mickey 17’

"It's not bad," my wife commented after watching Mickey 17. (What? Really? This must be Bong Joon-ho's worst film ever! I thought to myself.) Though I remained silent, my mind raced to find gentle words to tacitly express my true thoughts: "Anyone who's seen Bong's previous works or read the original novel Mickey7 would recognize what a disappointment this movie is." Such a harsh remark (though deliberately toned-down) would surely offend her—and there she was, looking at me intently, suggesting

The Disney's No.1 Anti-fan: Adult Swim

Does animation have to be beautiful? Disney, DreamWorks, Studio Ghibli—these top animation studios have established industry benchmarks for animators worldwide. However, some viewers (including myself as the No.1 Hayao Miyazaki fan) gradually experience fatigue from polished aesthetics. We grew up influenced by "beautiful" animation, but as we truly mature, we discover that beyond "beauty," there are many different—even opposite—styles that lack expression. Today, I want to start with Common Sid

Some Real Pains about the 97th Oscars

Hello Peliplaters! What do you think of this year's Oscars? I hope they don't hold it next year. I graduated from a film school in California, USA, in 2019. While I was once full of anticipation for the Oscars, I've now become completely bored of it. First of all, the Oscar's award criteria are very formulaic. Today's films have evolved to express increasingly complex ideas, while the Oscar's award criteria remain stuck in the last century. Take the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor awards fo
