Loki, Ertuğrul Episode 60, The Revenant

 I must say that I have finished watching Loki and Ertuğrul Episode 60.

• Loki has shown in last two episodes where it is headed and has left the floor wide open for sequel or Season 2.
• Upto Ertuğrul Episode 60 has shown that the show has progressed a lot.
• Vasilius has now proved to be the main villian in the series.
• Vasilius wants war and that is the problem.
• The Emperor of Byzantine does not want war and neither does Seljuk Sultanate.
• The Turkish tribes caught in the middle also want to carry on their business.
• But Ertuğrul is a man with a vision. 
• He not only thinks about his own Kayi trible but all Turkish tribes.
• He has vision to conquer Byzantine, Greece, Venice and even Rome.
• Other leaders have their doubts but Ertuğrul says if it cannot be done in their lifetimes at least it can be done by their successors.
  
• On the other hand Vasilius is a ruthless commander and does not care for even own people.
• Like Petreus and Laskaris who were Vasilius top commanders were killed by Vasilius himself in cold blood.
• I would say they were sacrificed just so that Ural Bey would be saved from execution. And Vasilius hand in the Tekfur murder would stay hidden.
  
• Sadettin Kopek has also warned Vasilius that if war happens the first casualty would be Vasilius himself.
  
• Last I had watched on September 30 upto Episode 41 
• Still about 40 episodes left in Season 3.
• Just cannot wait to complete it.

The Revenant

• I saw this movie on Amazon Prime Video.
• I must say this is too good movie.
• I must say that American conquest could have not been done by a single nation.
• Also Muslims could not have conquered Americas.
• They would have been slaughtered by the barbaric American Indians.
• White Europeans and Spanish people with or without following Christianity could only prove to be more barbaric than the American Red Indians.
• They could do genocide or ethnic cleansing of Native Americans and were backed by African imported Slaves in the process.
• Muslims would have been too busy in converting the local population and they would have failed.
• Also Muslims move with "big caravans" like in Arab world and same transplanted to New World would have proven fatal.
• White Europeans with emphasis on "free will" and "individuality" would be the only force capable of conquering the newly discovered American lands.
• Also in the movie the importance of money is shown.
• Tom Hardy and other people fighting are taking risks due to money.
• Also when Tom Hardy loots the treasury then the Commander goes with Leonardo DiCaprio because of the money Tom Hardy looted.
• His job is at risk. He pays with his life. But with the money gone his life was at risk anyways.
• Also Anglo-French struggle is shown.
• French played the Indians against Americans as well as against each other.
• And they paid the price. Too good movie worth watching again.
  

Haathi Mere Saathi, Free Guy

Watched the two  movie

Haathi Mere Saathi

• This movie was watched on mobile on Tata Sky Binge.
• Tata Sky Binge is a cost effective solution where you do not need to subscribe to different OTT platforms. 
• You just need to pay Rs 300 per month to Tata Sky and you can enjoy content from 10 different OTT platforms.
• I liked the movie.
• Movie has shown animals in true nature.
• I can guarantee once you see the movie and encounter any animal in real life you can relate to the movie.
• The director has done good work researching animals.
  

Free Guy

• After Thalaivi this is the second movie which I did not see in theatre to watch on OTT platform.
• Some movies released directly on OTT, they are different category altogether.
• Soem movies release on theatre and then on OTT.
• I must say I liked the movie.
• The most striking thing is that the concept is simple.
• But to bring it to life is something.
• That is why Hollywood rules the world in producing such kind of themes where imagination is brought to life.
  

Thalaivi, Oats Studio

 Watched two movies as mentioned above.

Thalaivi

• This movie was watched on Netflix.
• I must say this is the first movie I have seen online since I decided not to waste anymore money on big screen.
• Subsequently I am keeping a list of all movies which are getting released on big screen and when they will release on OTT I will try to watch them and knock it off from my list.
• Movie is worth watching.
• I will say this must be the best performances ever of Kangna Ranaut and Arvind Swamy both.
• The actor to portrayed RMV alsa has done a good job.
• Since it is based on South scenario it felt like the Silk Smitha movie starring Richa Chadha.
• But the fact is this is a bigger movie and worth watching.
  

Oats Studio

• There were seven-eight videos by Oats Studio possibly South Africa based and the episodes are not related to each other.
• But each video/ Episode has the capability to be spin-offed into a movie or series or a video game.
• Watched this on Netflix.
  

Intrusion, Those who want me dead, Loki, Ertuğrul

• Watched several movies and series as mentioned below.
  

Intrusion

• This movie was watched on Netflix.
• Worth watching.
• This movie shows that a sick mind is like a disease.
• Even the patient admits it.
• In this case the "sick mind" is the villian who is the husband of the heroine
  

Those who want me dead

• This movie was seen on Amazon Prime Video.
• I liked the movie.
• Angelina Jolie has done a great job.
• From the trailer appears that there is an army chasing the heroine and the boy.
• And some insiders are also hand-in-glove with them.
• But when the movie materialises we find some powerful people in Florida are involved but not the colleagues of Angelina Jolie.
• And only two persons are chasing for the "clean-up" are two persons who are British. They are like mercenaries.
  

Ertuğrul Season 3 Episode 41

• This is being watched on Netflix.
  
• Series has progressed a lot in the meantime.
• I had last posted when Episode 24 was completed.Here
• So many things have happened in the meantime.
  
• Ertugrul has captured Hanli Pazar.
  
• Tekfur was killed after reaching understanding with Ertuğrul by Laskaris.
• Simon was killed by Ural Bey just when he was about to be captured.
  
• Ural Bey has been caught doing all sort of illegal acts.
• Candar Bey has passed away in grief.
• Just cannot wait to see what comes next.
  

Loki Episode 4

• People I also started watching Loki Season 1 on Disney+ Hotstar.
  
• And I have reached till Episode 4.
• This series holds full promise and is worth watching.
• Simply I would say there is no limit as to where the series can go.
• As it transcends space and time and different worlds and universes.
  

SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS

• Watched this movie SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS last week at PVR, Forum Mall.
  
•  I liked the movie.
• More than the movie, the basic purpose of the movie is to introduce the new Asian characters who will be carried forward in future Marvel Movies.
• Basically, this is an attempt to undo what damage Trump did by his Anti China tirade.
• Hollywood is working overtime to undo Trump and previous administration damage.
• Biden has clearly said Americans will not know difference between Chinese and Koreans and Filipinos.
• Hence it will be a "free for all" bashing of all Asian looking people by all and sundry once they turn racists.
• Just as Americans do not know difference between Middle East and Central Asia.
• Or difference between Arabs and Persians.
• For majority of Americans all Muslims are Arabs.
• Or all Indian looking people are Pakistanis.
• Indian and Hispanic people become browns and African Americans are black and Asians are yellow and so on.
  
• What a joke! 
• Hence once should avoid typecasting people based on race and religion.
• Then it will result in deep divide which will haunt you till the end of life.
• Coming back to the movie, it is even better in second half and keeps you in the edge of the seat.
• After second half the movie is in the Middle Realm which is mysterious place and can be accessed with much difficulty and here the battle between the good and evil takes place.
• Clearly in the movie the long serpentine dragon or Chinese dragon is the "good one".
• The "Western looking dragon" is the villian and the leader of the dark forces.
• Overall it is a visual spectacle.
  

Bhoot Police, Purge Anarchy

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.

Bhoot Police

• This movie was watched on Disney+Hotstar on Lenovo Tab M8.
• I liked the movie.
• I watched it due to "Saas Bahu Saazish" show on ABP News.
• After watching the review on the program on ABP News Channel decided to watch the movie.
• It is good time pass. Loved the movie.
• All actors have done good job.
  

Purge Anarchy 

• In between 2013 and 2021, now realise that several Purge movies have been released.
• Was not aware of the same.
• Recently in 2021, Forever Purge was released.
• But this Purge Anarchy movie was released in 2014.
• Watched on Netflix on Lenovo tab M8.
• I liked the movie.
• Movie is set in Los Angeles.
• It is must watch.
• The way the "super rich" under the guise of NFFA (New Founding Fathers of America) have made the purge to get rid of the people, namely "bourgeois" and poor people is shown.
  

Lenovo Tab M8

• People I have started this post to say that I have discovered a great way to watch movies.
• And that is through tablet namely "Lenovo Tab M8".
• It is 8 inch tablet and I feel the display is too good.
• I have seen 10 inch tablet and I felt those are bulky plus the display is slightly bigger.
• I feel if you are going for 10 inch tablet you can add money and go for laptop which are usually 14 inch with bigger display.
• But there is a difference in tablet and laptop when it comes to Netflix.
• Netflix charges the minimum subscription of 199 when it comes to phone or tablet.
• But when you want to watch Netflix content on TV or computer including laptop they charge 499.
• You can pay Rs 300 extra and enjoy Netflix on all screens.
• Else you can buy tablet like me and watch Netflix with the most basic plan.
• Initially I ordered Lenovo Tab M8 with 2 GB RAM.
• Then I cancelled the order before delivery and on September 9 ordered Lenovo Tab M8 with 4GB RAM. This cost just 4000 more than 2GB RAM version.
  
• I must say it is super.
• Must buy.
• Earlier on December 2010 I had bought Galaxy Tab P1000.
• I had paid Rs 30,000 during that time.
  
• It was good initially for 2 years, then I stopped using it for couple of years.
• Now in 2021, I wanted to use the GT P1000 but realised Android is not working on the device.
• Which means it can only be used as media player and not online streaming or downloading and watching.
• I took it to a couple of shops where they said it can "go dead" during update or simply said it cannot be done. More here
  
• So decided to go for new tablet.
  
• This Lenovo Tab M8 is a new and great way to watch movie.
• I must say China makes it possible and makes high technology affordable to ordinary people.
  
• One can always watch online content on mobile which these days are more powerful than desktops and tablets.
  
• Ertuğrul series I used to watch on mobile. 
• Even now I can watch the Ertuğrul series on mobile.
• But for movies one should use a tablet whose display is bigger than that of a mobile.
• Even for mobile the speaker should be stereo.
• Stereo speakers in mobile is simply non-negotiable.
• If you watch without headphones on mobile in landscape mode then you realise the power of stereo dual speakers which give an "immersive experience".
• In vertical mode there is not much difference between stereo and single speaker.
• I am using Realme 7 Pro for stereo speaker effect. This phone is too good with Super Dart 65W charger.
  
• Coming back to Lenovo Tab M8, it has single speaker. But while watching movies I am using bluetooth headphone.
• And with headphone the effect is too good.
• Hence it is a new way to watch movies and we can avoid going to cinema theatres.
• Save some money in the process. A cinema show costs money anywhere from 150 to 300.
• Plus these days there are not many people especially on weekdays and we risk the show getting cancelled.
• No such problem watching on OTT.
• Cinemas are coming on OTT within 2 to 5 weeks.
• Like "Bellbottom" movie which released on August 19, 2021 and it is now coming on OTT on September 16, 2021 i.e. within 1 month.
• So we just wait and we can watch the movie on OTT platform and save cinema ticket money.
• We are subscribed to OTT subscription anyway.
• This is the way to go for future.
