Takahata Isao, 'Kaguya-hime no monogatari' o tsukuru. Ghibli dai 7 sutajio, 933-nichi no densetsu (2013)
A tribute to hard work, dedication, and mostly ART!
I think the best is to watch the film first in order to understand in detail what this documentary is about. When I saw the film 5 years ago I realized it didn't look like the rest of Japanese animated films and that was something positive, it kept me intrigued and made me pay attention to many details. Once you watch the documentary you realize what was behind that look.
Takahata might have not known exactly what he wanted from his artists but one thing is sure, he did know he wanted to create a timeless masterpiece. His dedication and obstination to tell a story in a unique way led him to get the best of his team, allowing each of them to perform at the highest point of their craftsmanship.
Just to think that this movie didn't win the Oscar in 2015 and especially that it lost against Big Hero 6 makes me laugh and confirms how awards are completely misleading and sold. I could spend the whole day offering descriptions of several scenes and the details of why this movie is one of the greatest animations ever made but I think it's better that you get some popcorn and watch it!
Mr. Robot (2015)
More a fantasy story than an actual thriller
When I watched Lord of the Rings or the Never Ending Story I expected anything because that's what happens in magical worlds. In Mr. Robot the writer pushed too much, the premise was good but he failed in the most important element: details.
Instead of wasting valuable minutes of airtime describing ridiculously complex conundrums, he should have given more background details to certain characters or elaborate some scenes in a more intelligent way. The end of the 3rd season was ridiculous, that guy knew where Mr. Robot lived and couldn't find him later, come on! The same with the Black Army not being able to find him in the 4th season after all the episodes describing their power to do EVERYTHING they want all over the world.
These are just a couple of examples to show how absurd the plot was most of the time.
