A Tourist's Guide to Love (2023)
Difficult
I really like showing an other side of Vietnam and such beautiful shots from the country. But the leading roles have no deep character. During the movie i asked myself: Why does Sinh is interested in her? Why is she interested in him? Only beacause it is a new experience? Where is the deep connection? Why are the two mums asking if a man has finished the relationship? They would say a man or woman. What about the stories of the other group members? It would have been easy to write dramatic scenes but this was superficial writing and no unique ideas. The emotions are only coming from the music but not because of the story.
House of the Dragon (2022)
Worst screenplay ever!
I dont know who wrote the screenplay but I am totally disappointed. If I need a manual to understand it although I am a huge fan of Game of Thrones, it is a bad written screenplay. I think the show only lives because of the fans of Game of Thrones who celebrate everything, no matter how bad it is, only because it is part of the world of Game of Thrones. So many things dont make sense: 1. Why they use other actors for Alicent and Rhaenyra? Daemon and other charakters looks the same and not older and Viserys got an old mask and Aemon looks much older than Aegon! 2. What about Criston Cole? He wanted to marry Rhaenyra and the next moment he hates her only because she has to be loyal to the Throne and duty? Such big hate only because of a broken heart of an ex-lover over so many years? He spoke about honour but did so many cruel things? Why did he kill the lover of Leanor Velaryon in front of all people having no consequences? In episode 9 he also killed a member of the council and nothing happens? Who is he? The King? No! He proclaims Aegon as the new king and gives him the crown in episode 9??? He has nothing to say! This is not his job?? And he is totally loyal to Alicent only because she prevented his suicide? Come on! The development of the characters is missing! Every twist in the story seems to be boring because you think "oh ok, why?". 3. Rhaenyra offered Alicent a peaceful solution and she didnt accept it? Why? Only because the story has to go on!!! She doesnt want to ignore Rhaenyras claim to the Throne and want to protect her children and in the next scene she hates her and her easy lifestyle so much and the next scene she doesnt want to risk a war having Aegon on the Throne and want to help her - it all doesnt make sense! 4. Who is Otto Hightower to take over the job of the King? Game of Thrones showed us in season 1 that Robert Baratheon had to write down a permisson that Lord Stark, the hand of the king, will rule until his "son" is old enough and Cersei riped it as the Queen but here it is no problem! Also the King's Guard is loyal to Daemon and now they fulfil the orders of Otto Hightower, Daemon totally hates??? And the explanation "the King said he wants Aegon on the Throne" from Alicent is enough for the Council, the King's Guard, the Nation and the Lords and Ladys who swear their loyalty to Rhaenyra?? And all the servants and princess Rhaenys are caught because they shouldnt talk about the death of the King or to Rhaenyra but the King's Guard is no problem? Being loyal to prince Daemon? 5. How Rhaenys got her armor? And why she did not burn all of them? I mean, Rhaenyra and Daemon would have pardon her? No, she will go to Rhaenyra and risk a war with Vhagar ... thats so stupid. She did it only for the story - the story has to go on ... 6. Why does the King's Guard close the doors in the end of episode 9? Did they want to commit suicide with a dragon in the room? 7. The white wurm put its life in danger only to get the word from Otto Hightower???? She definitely needed a pressure medium! So all in all - maybe there are good answers from some fans or the screenwriters towards my questions or critics but let me say that again: if I need a manual to understand the show, it is a bad show! You have to see the show with the eyes of the consumer! It is totally unlogical for me! I will not watch the show or an episode again. I will also not watch episode 10! Me and my boyfriend were totally annoyed during episode 9 and we wanted to turn out the TV because it was enough unlogical stuff! It is too bad for the actors and especially Matt Smith!
