Hello! As part of our ongoing efforts to improve both interaction and curation in the Movies and TV Shows Community, this post is one of many to highlight and boost members of the past week that have posted what we believe is exceptional content.
The Details
Each week, our Moderators will monitor the posts within the Movies and TV Shows Community and handpick the ones that are believed to stand out under numerous factors: post quality, length, and subject.
There are no entry requirements, and this is not a contest, but simply a roundup intended to provide additional exposure to all of you for your efforts. Just have fun posting in the Movies & TV Shows Community and five or more posts will be chosen frequently.
Characters, some charismatic, others less so, each contributing in their own way and adding intensity and drama to the series—that's what it's all about. Among them, we see a man with ego and superiority issues, wanting to control everyone's lives because he believes it is his right, in his uncontrolled and selfish way, being despotic and authoritarian.
The characters didn't exactly perform exceptionally but they were all ideal for their different roles. If I'm being honest, it felt like the main characters were underused. For someone who is used to seeing some of the main characters playing more actionable roles, I felt meh about their roles in this movie. The supporting characters also helped in adding more depth to the movie.
What matters is not the content but the style. As the episodes progress, the series becomes increasingly addictive because it's always gratifying to watch a revenge plot unfold, a revenge that involves not only the bullies but their entire social circle. To reach them, one must delve deeply into their personal and professional lives. Another aspect the series portrays is the profound trauma such events can inflict; it's striking how bullying can forever mark a person's life. That's why the plot includes messages of resilience and support.
Initially restrained, the script's approach is somewhat timid (although it begins with a very tense situation in its opening scenes), making the plot take a while to get going. On the other hand, this narrative "slowness" is justifiable due to the ramifications that occur throughout the plot's development. First, the movie focuses on introducing the most relevant characters, making them easily "recognizable" to the audience, but after that, when the plot is truly established, everything starts to get more interesting. The entire movie takes place almost entirely in one setting, and the script manages to maintain this tension reasonably high.
This movie had everything I usually like because even though the main plot takes place in a vineyard, books were very present. For someone like me who is also a fan of reading, this detail was great, a super coincidence because I didn't expect it. In addition, the story includes a beautiful dog that did its thing to bring the protagonists together. I love that too, animals are my weak spot.
Congratulations to everyone that was chosen, and thank you to everyone posting in Movies and TV Shows! We look forward to the next report and highlighting even more of you.
