Chinese New Year: The Biggest Celebration on Earth (2016)
Fascinating
Really interesting overview on what's, for many Chinese, the only holiday they get to enjoy in the whole year.
We're talkin about 20% of the world's population, taking a simultaneous break from their 996 (9 am to 9 pm work, 6 days/week) work routine, and travelling 2+ days on average to see their family once every year.
Really puts in perspective our life in Western countries.
One thing that Chinese repeat once and again in their celebrations and toasts is "Wealth". It seems money is deeply rooted in Chinese concept of social success. Not that is much different in Western culture, but it shows something about the Chinese people ambition to prosper and climb the socio-economic ladder. No wonder they usually dominate the trading activities in many foreign countries within Asia.
Overall, a really fascinating insight into a huge country that not many of us westerners have yet visited. China and India have 36% of the World's population vs. 4% in the US. Pretty obvious we're seeing just the beginning of the Chinese World's domination.
Sensitive: The Untold Story (2015)
The HSP Rollercoaster - my 2 cents
As men, think about all those things (good and bad) that drive you crazy about women. Now, if you want to know what is like having an HSP girlfriend, imagine amplifying all those traits x10.
I've been 15 years with an HSP woman. I had the best and the worst moments in my life, every week was an emotional rollercoaster full of drama, circle discussions, reconciliations, reproaches, love and (unfortunately) hate. It was utterly exhausting and in the end, so emotionally taxing that made me unhappy and unable to enjoy a quiet and simple life.
She told me she was HSP but I never understood what that really meant until it was too late and I was totally addicted to her. She is a wonderful yet an impossible person to live with. Of course HSP supports groups always tell how amazing and wonderful is to have such deep feelings, but tbh, I don't think it's how the human are meant to be made. They are just too vulnerable to everything, and the scars they get from life are so deep, they never forget nor fully forgive, NEVER.
Just keep in mind and take this advice seriously. With an HSP person you will be signing for the greatest emotional rollercoaster of your life. It will be a very demanding relationship, and will probably leave the best & worst emotional scars of your personal life.
Blue Marble Sky (2020)
Millenials get sober
This is a barely watchable story about a couple of cool Facebook alfas who discover that there is, OMG, something more to life than getting drunk in campus parties!! Can you actually believe it????
They travel a bit around the world and, while recording some cool TikToks and Instagram videos, reach some truly mystical conclusions such as, love among human beings is actually important!
This will truly change your life...if you're under 17 yo.
It wasn't horrible, the message is legit, but this is not really for grown ups.
PS) I'm pretty sure the other raving reviews are from family&friends.
Mijn Rembrandt (2019)
A depiction of art snobbery
I like art. I admire Rembrandt as much as I admire many other good painters in the world, Velazquez, Hieronymus Bosch, El Greco, etc.
I do not like, however, the people that usually hovers around art. Same goes for the fashion business, btw, they are even worse.
The snobbery that this documentary portraits is so stupid and ridiculous, that I couldn't help think to myself how different their attitude would be towards those mystical portraits if they had to spend a couple of years working for McDonalds at minimum wage. I bet their value scale would undergo dramatic changes.
