      …but is it a great deal?

      From the fiasco from last month, it caused a bit of a contraversy. Seems that video contents that moves from paid to free, or as free-access, now qualifies as a deal. Not sure what ramifications are there for future good or bad.

    Spoiler: If you think this is a great family movie to watch with the kids during the school holidays - be warned, it's probably not. It's heavy/sad and depicts attemped suicide throughout. I assumed given it's upbeat description and the fact it stars Tom Hanks it'd be OK, but I would avoid watching with little ones.

      Isaac Kappy wasn't a fan of Tom Hanks and probably won't recommend it as a family movie either.

      Agreed and of course they had to shoehorn 'the agenda' in at one point but thankfully it wasn't 'too' painful but otherwise we enjoyed it.

        That forced agenda seemed glaringly convenient and unusually out of place.

        Studio Ghibli. Start with Grave of the Fireflies for a movie you'll only ever watch once.

              @homersyd: Ohh, please be careful, it was kinda joke to point out that Ghibli is not always for kids. Princess Mononoke is M-reated. /s was for sarcasm.

                @pizzaguy: Agreed. Thought all Studio Ghibli movies are for kids. Watched My Neighbour Totoro, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Castle in the Sky, Ponyo, Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away. Those are good for kids (how old is yours?) But Princess Mononoke is not. It included violence (someone cut a soldier's hand if I remembered correctly).

          This is a joke everyone. Most adults and ghibli fans regret watching this very sad movie.

            Very true. It's important that movies never make you feel sad. Like most adults and Pixar fans, I also regretted watching the opening scene of Up.

          • EightImmortals on 04/07/2023 - 07:48

            @serpserpserp: No they don't, it's a good movie, just not so much for little kids.

          I still feel sad whenever I think of Grave of the Fireflies. Great movie, but jesus what a series of gut-punchs.

        1. Saving Private Ryan (great to learn some WW2 history and teamwork under adversity)
        2. Mortal Kombat (2021 version)(great to promote active lifestyle through martial arts)
        3. Sausage Party (great in teaching people to respect food in a funny comedic setting)
        4. Aliens (great at teaching human anatomy and survival skills)

    The original film on which this is based, "A Man Called Ove" is 99c on iTunes at the moment, if anyone wants to see it instead (it's great, didn't really need a remake).

    • Stoffel on 03/07/2023 - 12:37

      I watched "Another Round" yesterday. It's a Danish movie and is apparently being remade in English. Another great movie that I don't thing needs redoing.

      • Faro on 03/07/2023 - 12:46
        +3

        Another Round had a very strong subtextual narrative that intersected with the life of Danish Philosopher Soren Kierkegaard (he had the opening quote of the film and was mentioned throughout). If you remake it in any other country, that subtext is lost and was a huge part of the film for me.

        "Another Round" will be broadcast on SBS next Monday July 10th 12:20am if anyone is interested.

      He was pretty darn terrible in Elvis, but mostly he does good work.

        You mean his character was terrible or his performance? I liked it.

        • Stevesie76 on 03/07/2023 - 16:44

          I felt his performance wasn't up to his usual standard. I think he even got a Razzie award for it….

  • [Deactivated] on 03/07/2023 - 17:58

    This movie is just awful - Tom Hanks pretends to be Clint Eastwood but his biases become evident - plot old man becomes reeducated and dies, then helps the marginalised - issac kappy says No.

      • Faro on 03/07/2023 - 19:51
        +5

        I had to look it up. Kappy was an actor who would echo and publicly voice conspiracy theories which were dubious at best or debunked at worst. He eventually unfortunately committed suicide. Seemingly mentally unwell and likely under a lot of stress from his life and career.

        I don't understand why people take the perspectives of these fringe celebrities seriously, though. These guys spend their lives learning to get attention for their careers and yet some people mistake them for scientists and philosophers who are revealing massive "secrets". It's all a rather unfortunate effect of the internet age and people's susceptibility to such information.

    This is just advertising, not a 'deal'. It's included as part of your Prime subscription.

    • ThadtheChad on 04/07/2023 - 15:08

      Precisely. Not sure why addition of new content to streaming services should constitute a deal. If that is the case - we're going to see stuff like "oi new season of black mirror is out" etc.
      IMHO - posts like this should be relegated to the forums.
