Was it a movie or an assignment. To decipher the meaning of joaquin phoenix's blank expressions and the director's intentions. So you want to seem cerebral. Throw out interminable, going nowhere, direction less ramblings expounding the meaning of nothing. How about holding an empty bottle, glancing at it intently to uncover the revelations on the interactions between the air in the bottle and the light illuminating it, enabling the observation of the air and space covered by the bottle. Was it entertaining - a bit , yes, did it uncover new ground, stoke new emotions - no. Upon being asked if you are home, framing it as a relative reality does not make you profoundly intellectual. Using calculus to answer the sum of too numbers is not going to highlight your intellectual prowess - it will rather do the opposit.
Almost everyone has foibles, flaws. And no one wants to admit, accept them. Except that the best of efforts to keep them hidden fail. And life almost, magically, manages to orchestrate events so that the whole truth comes out despite everyone diligently lying. This is where this series shines. Story telling , to me, to be effective, has to be arithmetically, logically, mathematically coherent and consistent. And it is in this aspect that kohrra stands out. There are complex, tangled connections all across. Yet they progressively sort out and make sense. And combine to provide an immersive and engaging presentation. One could say that rarely in real life all aspects of a situation are so decisively resolved. But this is fiction. Seemingly almost like a slice of reality. That's worth your time.
Totally intrigued by the negative reviews. Its a story about an amazing man. Told interestingly and concisely. The material itself is very powerful. The execution is good. There are revelatory, surprising backstories to very well known songs, music and bands. There is the genius of the man who toiled, gambled, innovated to make them happen. The movie had me rooting to see the guy succeed. There were ups, there were downs. There was triumph. What more could one want. To dub it as a vanity project, as a few reviewers have done, to me seems, ridiculous. The risks the man took and prevailed - he deserves all credit and the movie does so engagingly, judiciously. To me this is a movie not to be missed. It was a very enjoyable two hours.
