Neymar: The Perfect Chaos (Original title: Neymar: o caos perfeito)

Neymar: The Perfect Chaos (Original title: Neymar: o caos perfeito) - Review

We already know that this kind of documentary has a single reason to exist: to humanize its protagonist and clean their image when they have too many haters. Neymar: the perfect chaos wasn't any different.

Who is Neymar?

Neymar was the protagonist, yet we don't get to know him very well. As a result, we have a deeper insight into his brand instead of him as a person. He didn't show who he was at all.

Different people talked about him, especially his father (what a surprise) and the humble person they all claim him to be… well, it didn't show up in his body language. There could be many reasons for that to happen. Was he nervous talking to the camera? Is he shy? Very shy people tend to be seen as arrogant and distant. Was that the reason? We can't know.

All we know for sure is that the Neymar we know is a company, the person behind that is well hidden. So, the documentary's main goal failed - you will probably not like him more because you watched this show.

How about football?

He is a huge football star, so the documentary is about football, right? I would say so, and if you are an avid fan of football, or soccer, if you're an American, you may find the documentary interesting. If you're not, you might find it boring.

Considering the sports part of the show, the only thing that truly hit me was that I pitied him for how he was treated in PSG. The fans screaming insults during the whole game is disgusting and humiliating. No one deserves that.

It only shows us that many things are allowed in sports that should never be. For example, if it is a crime to insult a person outside the field, why is it okay to do it in there? It isn't!

It didn’t work

This whole documentary was an attempt to pass a different image of Neymar. But unfortunately, it didn't work, and I blame the documentary itself and how it was made.

You don't get to know Neymar, so you can not empathize with him. It seemed to me that he is indeed a good kid, with the heart in the right place, but I'm not very impressed. It was too superficial and way too long.

The insight you can expect from a documentary like this simply wasn't there.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting. ...

House of the Dragon: Season 2 - a Matter of Good Characters

As a fan of the original Game of Thrones , I approached the second season of House of the Dragon with high hopes. Unfortunately, I found it a bit boring compared to its predecessor. The intricate political drama and the rich character development that made Game of Thrones a global phenomenon seem to be lacking here. Still, the show features some compelling characters who hold my interest. Daemon Targaryen Daemon Targaryen remains one of the most intriguing characters in the series. Although his arc in this season isn't as strong as before, he still commands the screen with his charisma and unpredictability. Daemon's complex personality, oscillating between villainy and heroism, keeps viewers guessing his true intentions. His relationship with Rhaenyra and his struggle for power add depth to his character. He is, no doubt, a central figure in the unfolding drama. Aemond Targaryen Aemond steps into the spotlight in the second season, bringing a new level of intensity ...
