Unpopular opinions:
Jun. 11th, 2009 03:12 pmI am feeling very happy and sun is shining (sort of) so I feel I can make this post without any excessive bitterness the subjects don't deserve. As usual, these are just my personal opinions.
Films
1. English Patient: I don't see any sweeping romance. All I can see is a story about a woman cheating on her husband. Later everyone dies at will just because "they don't want to live without each other".
2. Titanic: Probably the weakest Oscars winner in the history.
Books:
1. Anna Karenina: I feel more for Anna's husband (whose main crime is that he is a plain boring chap) than I do for Anna. And I hate Vronsky's character with passion.
2. Harry Potter books: are amusing, but quite unoriginal, middle-of-the-road and are always trying to "teach you important lessons" (aka, to be preachy).
TV:
1. Buffy : I think that being a special girl with special superpowers is every girl's dream. But why is Buffy constantly unhappy with her life, to the point of making her mother's and her friends' life difficult?
2. Battlestar Galactica: I loved this show when it started. But after two seasons it disintegrated into a self-important soap opera set in space. With Cylons.
3. Doctor Who: David Tennant's poor acting and over-exaggerated facial expressions make me cringe. I am so glad Doctor Ten is over.
Asian drama:
1. "Hana Yori Dango": To start, Matsumoto Jun is one the ugliest men alive. This drama is probably the most popular Japanese drama of all times but I don't understand why. In my opinion "Hana Yori Dango" is the second name for jdrama mediocrity. It is pleasant, but nothing more than that.
2. "Hong Gil Dong" is many people's Korean drama favourite. I find it misogynist and it also has the most horrible ending.
