Ambulance (2022)
Directing saved the day
Storyline was okay not great, implausible scenes here and there, but Michael Bay's talent and the resulting incredible amount of detail in the directing helped push it above average for me. Oh and the music in the final scene is pretty much the same as the one in the final scene of 13 Hours, another Michael Bay film.
Immigration Nation (2020)
Utterly Brilliant Filmmaking!
The actual issue of immigration and the politics of it aside, this was an utterly brilliant piece of storytelling and filmmaking! The way they filmed perspectives of both sides - for instance, law enforcement on one hand and the migrants on the other, or a migrant family member on the phone with family members back home - and then told both sides of the story simultaneously with synchronized pieces of footage from both ends, just like in a movie, which also meant having camera crews following families all over the world from the US to Mexico to Guatemala to Kenya, it was all quite remarkable!
Lenox Hill (2020)
Wow! Such a privilege
I feel privileged having almost a firsthand experience of what goes on in the world of medicine and surgery. I particularly like the way they also follow the personal lives of the doctors themselves. Well worth your time!
Chernobyl (2019)
Pride and Lies
"Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid."
Shows you how far we've come from that era of absolute pride, mistrust and secrecy among rival nations. Secrecy regarding even the most inconsequential of things. Relationships between rival nations today are still far from the truly united world ideal but at least on important things such as space travel, superpowers can ask for and receive help from rivals, even when relationships are frosty, to the extent of the US shutting down the space shuttle program early because they know they can always hitch a ride on the Soyuz from Baikonur.
Absolutely brilliant piece of filmmaking to tell a story of the impossible that became possible with grave consequences, all because of pride and lies.
