Oppie Review

J. Robert Oppenheimer was a renowned physicist and scientific leader, often referred to as the "father of the atomic bomb" for his crucial role in the Manhattan Project during World War II. So, Back on Wednesday I watched Christopher Nolan's massive new movie Oppenheimer which I was also waiting for a Longtime as I am an avid World War 2 history consumer, even though we watched on IMAX but only bad thing was that we were on the Front Seats, Movie definitely got us hooked... Now about the movie it is just... wow I don't think I have ever felt like this watching a movie. Its like a blend of being sad but also scared, I read that Christopher Nolan said it kind of had themes of horror, and watching the movie I know what he meant, Very few movies can make you feel quite like this one can. The cast is also AMAZING with Cilian Murphy delivering the performance of his career as Oppenheimer, essentially becoming him, and pretty much securing himself an Oscar nomination for be

“Margin Call”

Yesterday, I was scrolling through My Instagram and saw a reel where one of the Spokesperson on a Random Podcast was telling that Margin Call is a great movie and everyone should watch. So, being a Movie Buff I watched it and following is a spoiler free review of it. I actually really liked it. “ Margin Call" is a 2011 American drama film that follows the key players at a fictional investment bank over a 24-hour period during the early stages of the 2008 financial crisis. The film features an all-star cast including Kevin Spacey, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Irons, Zachary Quinto, and Stanley Tucci. The film is a thought-provoking look at the moral and ethical implications of corporate greed and the consequences of the actions of those at the top of the financial industry. It explores the lengths to which people will go to protect their own interests and the financial system, even at the expense of others. The performances by the cast are exceptional, with Jeremy Irons delivering a stando

when you are not okay

You ever had those days where Life is just beating you up where you feel overwhelmed about everything in life that seems to be working against you where it feels like everything is falling apart sometimes you are just not okay and if you are like me, it hurts so much to think that you are not Perfect. Media and society tell us that we should be better we should be farther along in our Career, you should have this materialistic thing to be happy or whatever and though it is important to constantly keep growing but we take this message in its extreme form, Where we police ourselves and shame ourselves for not being Perfect. We are horrified that "Oh my God! I am not living the Perfect Life". We end up beating ourselves so much because of that. While in this Quarantine I've had so many days lately where I compared myself to my friends with regular jobs and here I am draining my bank account as a Freelancer. We all have moments some may be more than others.  A quick

It was Comedic in Genre and everyone knows i have resting depressed face. so i took a quick minute to thought about it and did my gig... it wasn't too bad our theatre coach said "Sometimes it is good if you're not leading a performance to a comedic ending" means it is okay if you're not funny sometimes just focus on doing your part right forget about aud

Avoiding

There are some things and phases in life which you want to avoid and ignore as much as possible but because of that you think about those specific things too much and that hits you. After August 16th of this month my habit of procrastinating came to an end and i finally finished my manuscript and the web series which i was writing for well actually assisting someone in writing but its all good i'll get the credits the money never really mattered to me anyway. Coming to Avoiding the things during the Last Weekend a psychiatrist diagnosed me with Minor Effects of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder(OCD) so, now i am a 'Little Bit of OCD'. I'll be honest i was avoiding the symptoms of it for a longtime whether it was during the convos with some people or getting into the little details of not so important things. I was out for some phonography today and i didn't know why i felt so unnatural and forced while i was taking pictures nothing turned out good enough to post on I
