Getting Lost in Amsterdam
Amsterdam is a confusing movie with a meandering plot amidst a beautiful rendering of 1930s New York

A storm causes a plane to crash on a remote Pacific island, leaving behind a few survivors. Among them are Hao Ran, a failed businessman who wants to die so his family can collect on his life insurance policy, Ruan Ning, his ex-lover who also happened to be on the plane, and Li Jun, whom some of the passengers recognize but can't remember from where. Their only hope of survival is to find a walkie-talkie so they can call for help. It's in the cockpit, which has become separated from the rest of the plane on the way down, but that means a long and dangerous journey across the island, and dealing with a bunch of other giant creatures and each other.

What are we willing to walk through to see our dreams come to pass? Our minds might be so wholly alive with the passions we carry and the plans we make to see these things become all we wish them to be, yet life doesn’t always want to come alongside. Instead, obstacles arise, both physical and mental, which attempt to dissuade us or even prevent us from moving forward, stalling or stagnating the momentum to achieve what we desire. The age-old question remains….can we overcome? Or will we BE overcome?
The justice system in the United States of America is supposed to operate as you are deemed innocent until proven guilty. But "When They See Us" shows what happens for Black people is they are deemed guilty until proven innocent.
Ultimately the problem with The Bubble is that it plays everything for laughs to get around the audience’s defenses. But it comes off like a privileged white male thinking that ridiculing everyone else equally is the road to equality. And it’s not. And it's definitely not funny to pretend that it is.
One of the great achievements of this film is its ability to challenge the mind and to force you to try to process information in a different way than you’re used to.
