Eco-Challenge Australia (1998)
So good! Why aren't more people talking about this?
I was a big fan of Physical:100 on Netflix, so I was looking for another athletic reality show to watch- this one is even better! Beautiful sights, amazing team backstories, and drama to keep you on your toes- this show has it all. I wish more people knew about it since it looks like it might not be getting another season :( I literally cried so hard witnessing the beautiful bonds of some of the team members (specifically the father with Alzheimer's, I will be thinking about them holding hands for the rest of my life)
Only critique I have has to do with the filmmakers/editing. Why not show some of the more dramatic scenes like team NZ's boat? Also some of the scenes are repeated 2 or 3 times (they're only like 10 seconds long, it just gets a little annoying) don't you have other footage to show?!? Anyway, that's my only nitpick.
I never even knew adventure racing existed, but now I'm looking up when the next race is so I can learn as much about it as I can. What an incredible showcase of athletes and their achievements! 10/10 if you like adventure, I would 100% recommend.
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)
Definitely not for me...
I like to believe I have a pretty basic taste in movies. I love movies that are generally well-loved by most people and don't like movies that aren't well-liked. This movie proved me wrong.
I first watched this movie a few months ago, didn't really like it, and then watched it again today just to make sure that I really didn't like it. I tried so so hard to like it though. I'm not even a little bit upset that Lucy Liu, an American born Chinese, was cast as a Japanese woman or even that it's a martial arts movie with a scene where a white person takes down a ton of asians, I get it, it was a different time. Maybe it's because I'm a part of gen-z and don't understand the old movie references that are apparently there, maybe it's because I'm Asian and I grew up with far better martial arts movies, or maybe it's because I'm a girl and the movie that a male friend described as a "feminist movement" really missed the mark for me. Seriously, how many times must we glorify abusing women and treat her assault like a stepping stone for her character? As Jessica Chastain said, "It is not empowering to be beaten and raped, yet so many films make it their 'phoenix' moment for women. We don't need abuse in order to be powerful." After watching this movie I was given a further bad impression of it from googling it (for those of you unaware, please lookup how Uma Thurman was treated during the making of this movie). I gave it 3 stars for the actresses, which were awesome, and the gorgeous aesthetic. Otherwise, it looks like another one of Tarantino's films missed the mark for me.
