Valley of the Queens: Planned Obsolescence

I think that this was really interesting. There is the character named Mr. Tronic and I think that it is obvious to see his mindset and his character's personality in this show. You can see though that the character wants to be liked by people who are out there and up there in the business worlds. It is true for a lot of people and I think this film does a good job portraying that. I only saw a little bit of this film because it was for my communication course so I cannot write a full review on this film. I will definitely go back and watch the rest of this and then come back and respond and make another review.

What I got back from the film was that Tronic was "the bad guy" to Solomon. I really didn't understand the whole concept of the purpose of the film. I didn't understand because almost every sene was in a different place and it was also didn't story lines that Tronic and Solomon were talking about. I think that the film could have been more better and not so fake. It seemed fake because I feel like anyone could easily figure out what can happen. I feel like I would see this film in highschool and students would be recording them selfs for a project that they have to do for school. Overall I think the script could have been a little more better.

I really liked the plot in this movie, I watched about 10 minutes of it in class and it seemed very intriguing. It tied well into real world interactions, however I feel like some of the lines were a bit on the nose and over the top. Especially, Tronic who was incredibly direct, sometimes to a fault, and it really through off the pace of the movie for me. I couldn't really get into the scenes that he was present in. I also feel Nefertiti's entrance was incredibly cheesy. I feel the writers could have been a bit more creative in that aspect. Overall, I think these points all contribute to my 5/10 rating.

This movie was interesting to see how people can act under certain pressures. Solomon communicated with respect at first to show he wanted the job and wanted to please his idol. Once it came out that Tronic was actually a very not moral business man, he was conflicted over making money to help his family and selling out his people. I feel like he could have reported it to the police but ended up just leaving it alone.

When he was visited by a spirit who reminded him of his moral values, he knew the right thing to do and did it.

He code switched and told off the boss as he quit. He did the right thing and didn't do it.

I did not really enjoy the movie, that being said I do think it did its job and served its intended purpose. I think the acting could've been better and the writing could've been more clever or better written. Tronic is a great example of thew modern world manger or boss. Nowadays most bosses and managers are white male characters. They all carry themselves in the same manner, they are assertive and like to create power distance. Overall, it was not a good movie. It wasn't entertaining to watch or anything of that sort. I like a lot of others only watched it as an assignment. The movie is more of a YouTube than a production film.
