Yxklyx

I watched this disaster to the end because the first two seasons are my favorites. I'm a huge Lynch film fan though I'm lukewarm on Inland Empire. There are a few scenes here and there that work, mostly the Lodge scenes but having some unnamed little kid killed the way it was done here was disgusting and manipulative. Lots of pointless scenes with the old characters. Cooper was wasted, the joke got really old really fast. His doppleganger character was rather lame and the way Bob was defeated stupid stupid stupid. I did like the ending though - some of the final scenes. A huge disappointment! I don't understand how this can be rated so highly, a large number of these reviews must be utterly fake. The emperor has no clothes!

While I appreciated some of the basic information given in the film. I found it to be too one sided on the whole. The film is more about Pakistan's political history rather than Bhutto herself and politics are generally not well suited for documentaries because there will always be radically opposing views. The film did not give much more insight to who really runs Pakistan than a reading of wikipedia would have given - now that would have made for an interesting film. Going into this I knew little of her but those thoughts were positive but coming out my thoughts are actually negative - obviously opposite to what was intended. I can't see her role as more than a figurehead. She belongs to an elite class (attended Harvard) and is from a radically different world than the vast majority of Pakistanis - so I can understand the foundations of distrust against her. Yes, she was charismatic but that's not enough to be a political power - she seemed out of her league and her presence in such a position of power, forced, likely installed by the elite class in the world. I don't condone the actions of the opposing faction but I can understand their antagonism.
