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.

Emily in Paris 3: The Good, the Bad, and the Unrealistic

The third season of Emily in Paris got a lot of hate and love among the viewers. People can’t decide if it was the best season or the worst of all. And I understand why. We start the season with Emily’s life in perfect chaos, and she doesn’t seem to know what she wants. She never does… Is this good for the plot? Maybe. Is this annoying? Sometimes. So… why can’t we stop watching it? Are you feeling frustrated? Me too. She doesn’t know what she wants. She can’t make a decision, not in her love life, not in her job… And it is not because she wants it all. She is not mature enough to say no and own her decision and its consequences. Emily comes across as a spoiled little girl. The problem is that she is the main character, yet, Mindy starts to feel way more interesting than her. Also, any other character on the show is funnier than Emily, namely her co-workers, who apparently are very bad at their jobs and need her to save them with every single client… How did they keep the company...

Gender, Power, and Cigarettes: Why 'Mad Men' Still Resonates

Mad Men is a masterpiece of television that blends sharp storytelling with striking period detail, offering a reflective glimpse into the 1960s. The series follows Don Draper and the high-stakes world of Madison Avenue advertising, all while painting a vivid picture of the era's societal norms, especially the rampant sexism and rigid gender roles. It's both mesmerizing and infuriating, particularly in its honest depiction of how women were treated. Strong Emotions The show’s brilliance lies in its ability to evoke strong emotions—its subtlety, exceptional writing, and rich characters draw you into a world that feels both foreign and disturbingly recent. The meticulously crafted period aesthetics are complemented by historical undercurrents, from civil rights to cultural shifts, which remain integral yet never overshadow the deeply personal dramas of the characters. Wait For the Impact Mad Men doesn’t rely on flashy plot twists; instead, it uses nuanced storyte...
