Colonia ( 2015 )

this would be a 2.5 star movie if it wasn’t based on real events, but it was, so it gets 4 stars.

if this was just some writer’s fantasy i would say this is a crap movie and not worth anybody’s time but apparently most of what is in the movie actually happened - of course the details of what happened were reimagined by a ( garbage ) director and the movie is overall poor quality and Emma Watson is a MID and her acting is MID as well …

on the upside she can run … so if you’re into the whole tomboy thing …


but the subject is interesting and important and its a quasi-documentary so yes in fact i DO recommend this movie.

because it’s not just frivolous entertainment and waste of time but actually educational and makes you think about things that are real and not just some Hollywood fantasy.

it’s a shame the execution was mediocre but, again, i still recommend this movie because on some level fundamentally it has substance whereas vast majority of Hollywood movies have none.


once again, i DO recommend this movie. execution may be cringe but is ultimately worth watching for historical context and insight into fusion of different forms of power at local and international levels.

i would rather watch a poorly made movie about something that is important ( like Colonia ) than a perfectly executed movie about something meaningless ( like all the superhero movies )

4 stars. watch it.
