Tell Me Who I Am

Its such a powerful documentary, honestly. Alex lost his memory after a motor cycle incident and the only person he remembers is his twin brother Marcus. Its up to the latter to slowly rebuild Alex his memory and identity as he cant remember anything of his past. Piece by piece he creates Alex his world back again but realises that he has the ability to give him the perfect life. By leaving out horrifying details about their youth Marcus created a new reality for them both.. But after their mother died slowly their past is coming back to haunt them and Alex realises that his life is not what it seemed. It gives so much food for thought, would you give someone the perfect life if you had the chance? Would you keep things hidden for them just to spare them the pain of the horrible things in the past, or would you tell it to them so they can work it through and it makes them who they are today? Such difficult choices.. especially for an 18 year old.. Its definitely a must watch and it was extremely fascinating. I wish I could just give Marcus a hug after this :(

Joker

As some of you might know, I am a Marvel boy and I do not really follow the DC universe at all. Today I was in the mood for a superhero movie so I went to the cinema to see what all the fuss is about and went to see the Joker.

I heard mixed reviews about people really hating it and wanting to leave the cinema while others thought Joaquin Phoenix should deserve an oscar. Now, after watching it I have to say I agree with both. A film much darker than what I would expected and a lot less superhero-y. It was not what I expected as it is more about mental health and how we as a society contribute to make it worse and let people down that might need our help the most.

You really start to feel sorry for Arthur and all the cruel things that happen and have happened to him in his life. You slowly see him slip to the villainous Joker character that we all know from the comics.

It starts of rather slow and it isn't until far in the second half when things start to speed up a little, so I can understand why people with low attention spans find it a hard sit. For me it was just a little too dark, it really brings you to this space in your mind that you do not always feel comfortable with and honestly at times I felt uneasy while watching. I think the movie is amazing as it had a great storyline, but I do think its not for everyone. Joaquin though, his acting was amazing, he really looked like he lost it in the end and you understand where he came from. Amazingly done and I have to say; oscar worthy to me.

How It Ends

I was so extremely excited when I saw the trailer for this film! Forest Whitaker is a true legend and Theo James is awesome as well. Personally I love the end of the world kind of movies because most of the times they try and show peoples actual emotions and true selfs as you never know how mankind will react to such weird things.

Having said all this.. I was literally shouting at the television with disappointment and anger when it ended. The movie just keeps on repeating the same trick over and over again. It introduces characters that just disappear or die out of no where without any real additions to the storyline making their purpose really strange.

I dont want to spoil it all but most of the questions that I had after seeing the trailer were the same that I had at the end of the film. In all honesty I will never watch this film again, I’d rather go home at a party and enjoy my night by myself than watch it again as it is a true waste of time.

Very disappointed.

Michael Johnston - Lost in Japan

My spirit animal finally released a video of himself playing on the guitar while singing. He does a rendition of Lost in Japan by Shawn Mendes. The setting is in someones back garden and it seems like theres a beautiful sunset going on.

Michael has this amazing tone of voice and is extremely talented. I remember in the past always listening to his music and voice over work to fall asleep as I think its very soothing.

Exctinction

This movie was so good! It started off like most sci-fy films but it was so surprising in the end! At least for me it was. 

The film follows a family during an invasion that actually does keep surprising. Characters that you think will stay until the end die and villain turns into friend at the end of the day. It all isn't what it seems and it was a really good take on what has happened in the past and that things aren't always what they appear to be at the start.

I think the message is cute, about being different and the fear of those that are and it is something thats all to real these days. Michael Pena is an amazing actor, I did not know he could pull this off as I had only seen him in comedy films before this.

Great film to watch on a boring evening at home.

Max Carver is such a cute human being. Honestly! I was always team Charlie but without him distracting me with his awesomeness I realised how amazing Max is. (That sounds hard but I think people who know me will understand). 

He was very kind, when outside we talked about Japan and the quality of the stuff they made. He wanted to see my buttons that were on my keycord and wanted to know what they meant as most of them were from the convention symbolising certain “privileges” I had as for instance I was allowed to have a walkie talkie. 

Super open about his past he kept on telling things whenever he was in a conversation and did not mind sharing things which made me see him as a much more positive light as he truly is inspiring. 

Fun fact: After this picture got taken (he put his hand on my hand himself) everybody went into a simultaneous awwwww cute. And one of the other P.A.’s shouted: BUT IT ISNT CHARLIE! Resulting in a big laugh from everyone. :’D

Amsterdam Canal Pride 2018 For the second time I was part of an actual boat during the Canal Pride in Amsterdam. By far the biggest LGBTQ+ event in the Netherlands, the Canal pride consists of 80ish boats that parade through the canals. 

Some of the boats are from LGBT organisations and others are commercial boats that are there to show their support and make a little advertisement at the same time. Our group of friends consisted of eight people and we were lucky enough to have won a raffle from Kei Roze Amersfoort. The boat that belonged to the Amersfoort Pride that wanted to show their support for the good cause and has existed for many, many years.

We were told to wear with with rainbow coloured accessories and the theme this year would be heroes. We were given special signs that said You are my hero and drinks and lunch was included in the price of 100 euros.

I always said that it was not worth it for me to be on a boat and pay that amount of money but in all honesty, I cant imagine not being on a boat anymore. It makes the entire experience so much better.

There are almost no lines for the toilet, theres unlimited drinks, both water (cause its always super hot) as alcohol (as you want to party) and the atmosphere on the boat was just amazing.

There were so many wonderful people on the boat, all smiling ad having fun while waving at the people on the shore that were watching us celebrate, all wanting a wave or us to blow kisses at them. That was really cute.

Hopefully next year I will be raffled for a boat again as its something that I just cant miss out on. We are celebrating the fact that we can love who ever we love with like minded minds and allies and its just a wonderful day all in all.

The 100 - Season 5

To be honest, I only started watching this series at the end of 2016, bingewatching it all. So this is just my second season watching it with the rest of the world, or to be exact, a week later since Dutch Netflix takes a week to translate the subtitles.

We ended season 4 with almost everyone locked up in the Bunker, most of the main kids up in space and the leading lady alone out in the world. The season makes a huge time jump of 5/6 years which is interesting because some of the characters have changed a little but physically almost none of them really aged or changed a lot of their personalities.

Most of the characters have grown but I believe as a teenager, 5 to 6 years later you become an actual adult. That makes for totally different personalities and a lot more growth than a lot of the characters have shown this season.

The new bad guys were interesting, as they were bad to the core (well, most of them) and seeing evil versus more evil was an interesting concept. I think that the new character that I love the most is the new pilot. He was cute and I want Raven to get some good for once as she has always been on the good side and never had any luck.

Raven is my favourite followed by Octavia, Lincoln and Monty. I think that the series was very interesting for all three of them as they all had their arcs. Without spoiling anything I would say that it wasn't there worst season but it was still less good than I wished it would be. 

The finale does leave us with countless possibilities of what will come next so I am very very excited to see the new season!
