Martina1994

 "It's a book that, in the long run, bores and does not captivate the reader (...) who gets lost in a kind of labyrinth, ending up with a headache."

 "The obscure language allows everyone to construct their own interpretation of Nietzsche, and that's probably why this philosopher had a great commercial success."

The reviewer shares a personal and critical perspective on Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, highlighting the book's confusing style and limited accessibility. The work, written in aphorisms, is seen as more form than substance and not suitable for introducing newcomers to philosophy. The reviewer doubts the practicality of Nietzsche's ideas in modern society and encourages alternative reading for simpler philosophy or engaging writing. Explore this controversial take on Nietzsche's work and decide for yourself if Thus Spoke Zarathustra challenges or confuses philosophy lovers.

 It’s not that I liked this book too much.

 The novel is too focused on this underlying idea [of grace and destiny].

 They are very skilled musicians, but that’s not enough. Technique is one thing, but expression matters too.

 In my opinion, the fact that a musician can be 'imitated' is important because then he becomes a model for young people and can promote the evolution of taste.

This review analyzes Hella's album 'The Devil Isn’t Red' as a challenging but original math rock record. While the musicianship is skilled, the music is complex, less melodic, and may not appeal to casual listeners. The reviewer highlights issues with accessibility, expression, and the band's unclear alternative identity. Fans of technical music might appreciate it more than those seeking catchy or traditional rock songs. Discover Hella’s unique math rock sound and decide if complex rhythms speak to your musical taste!

 The actors are not good or expressive... they have such sad faces.

 I had to find the symbolic interpretation online and in my dad’s cinema books: it seems absurd to me that to interpret something I watch, I have to read what others think.

This review offers a critical perspective on Michelangelo Antonioni's Zabriskie Point, emphasizing its slow narrative and unclear symbolism. The acting is described as unexpressive, and the film’s portrayal of youth and police is seen as outdated. While the soundtrack by Jerry Garcia and Pink Floyd is appreciated, the reviewer finds the plot convoluted and disconnected. Overall, it rates 2/5 and suggests viewers watch alternatives. Explore this critical take on Zabriskie Point and discover why it may not resonate with everyone.

 Too long and verbose: many episodes could be eliminated... halfway through it becomes boring.

 A very demanding work and a very serious writer who, in my opinion, wasted his talent.

This review offers a critical perspective on J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. It highlights the book's excessive length, confusing character ensemble, and verbose language that bogs down the pace. The reviewer finds the characters overly generic, the plot rushed towards the end, and the fantasy elements unclear. Despite Tolkien’s cultural and linguistic depth, the reviewer feels the novel falls short and suggests watching the film adaptations instead. Explore this candid critique of Tolkien’s classic and decide if the movies might be a better fit for you.
