I just watched this movie for the first time last week. It is cheesy as heck and the story isn't deep (I know it is an action movie with a bit of story thrown in there). Nonetheless I was so impressed by the beginning of the movie that it made me ponder a lot on my own when the movie ended, even though those views already permeated my mind. I would recommend this over Robocop which is what people throw around for the same "vibe" (action with some deep lore).
Edit: Mid 90's kid btw!

In your opinion what are this genres masterpieces or best introductions?

Why do we like being fooled by magicians? Why do we like being fooled by some branding or propaganda? It is our nature, you realized that. Now how do you not suffer internally with that fact? How can you turn this knowledge into wisdom? By using it for good

Reality is unfathomably complex. We can use our pre frontal cortex and think everything critically or we can learn patterns that are good enough.

Why is white sinonimous with purity and peace? Why we can have a somewhat coherent consensus on beauty? Why rockstars fabricate ludicrous stories to be seen as bad boys?

Telling an archetypical story impresses and dazzles other people. Again, reality is too complex.

What I have been learning to do, since I struggled with what you are asking a lot. How can I have substance and at the same time tell a compelling story?

Noob question. Isn't a wiki text, images and hiperlinks? Why not just use html for it?

Yeah I am getting more and more acquainted with that idea. Growing up I used to see reviews and lists of must watch cinema and was grateful for it. It made me learn about the art and what I like or dislike. Now I am feeling comfortable with my own taste and know about directors, themes, plots, etc... that I like.
Watching trailers or lists nowadays makes me conflicted because it feels like I am being sold a product I wont like!

That whole scene is so well made. The music, cinematography and plot all culminate in that beautiful but still twisted moment. Brilliant!

The latest beginner guide from LTT is really good. So good that I was somewhat baffled. Whoever did the script for that episode deserves a raise. It is information packed but beginner friendly and has plenty of infographic detailing stuff.

I did use CRT TVs and monitors, but only when very young. Man you just made me revisit a part of my brain long dormant! I loved the sweet static discharge as well, it was so f*ing rad!

Have no idea why 1917 was less commented than Dunkirk. The former is a masterpiece and the latter is just bad
