Metal Lords - Review

Two friends decide to form a metal band for The battle of the bands, organized at their school. But they have a problem: they don’t have a bass player. The solution? A quiet, shy girl with some psychological issues who plays the cello. Unexpected?

Yes, a few details make this movie a bit unexpected.

To grow up is hard

This film is about the journey we all need to face to grow up. In this case, they are growing up with music.

Some details make the movie different from others in the genre. But it still focuses on what most teenage movies do: the path of learning how to deal with your own feelings and frustrations.

To grow as a person, you must earn your own mistakes, which sometimes hurt.

Us against the world

Our protagonists are not popular. They don’t have many friends, and honestly, they aren’t that brilliant in music either. At least when the movie begins.

They are the outcasts, and they want to shine and win. We all liked to have our moment to shine in high school, so it is easy to relate with these characters even if you hate metal.

Superficial and shallow?

I saw some critics accusing Metal Lords of being superficial and shallow. People thought that because of the way they portrayed mental health and bullying. You can see they're there, but it is not truly explored in the story.

Well, I can see where these critics came from, but I tend to disagree. Indeed, they do not focus on them, making them sound like superficial issues, but I think the movie had other goals. It is not all about our issues; it is about winning, despite the issues.

Simple and sweet

Metal Lords is a story that focuses on those difficult years of growth that is adolescence. It is a simple sweet story, and I liked watching it.

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 ...
