The Perfect Weapon (2020)
An interesting proposal which sadly falls back on a very old idea
As new as interesting, TPW opens a door to understand future warfares.
In the other hand, it's a pity that the documentary comes back to the "USA good, Russia/China bad" logic...
It could have been more interesting if the director and/or the producers invited Russian, Iranian, Chinese and/or North Korean (and/or even someone from WikiLeaks) people... just to hear the other bell, you know.

La casa de papel (2017)
Does entertains, yes, but it has too many nonsenses
- No matter what happens, the Professor already foresaw it and always has a plan. No matter what.
- Thieves make stupid decisions very often.
- Thieves, policemen and the soldiers have very poor aim.
- Inside the tent, the policemen track any radio frequency, except the microphone which is being carried by Angel Rubio in his glasses. That microphone is crucial for the development of the robbery...
- The thieves lived together for several months, but after 48 hours after the robbery began they are threatening each other. This happens multiple times in less than five days.
- There are shooting scenes where police/military ARE ABLE TO shoot or throw grenades, but they never take advantage these situations.
- There are thieves who, being at least 3 meters from the hostages, do not hear them speak.
- It is not explained why neither Marsella nor Bogotá nor Manila are part of the first robbery.
- Hostages without being surveillanced on more than one occasion.
- Everything seems to be hackable: a sliding door, advertising signs, the surveillance system of the most important bank in Europe...
- Intelligence guys (CNI) are not so lucid and sagacious.
- Once inside, how the hell did they take the extraction pump to the basement? It's very heavy...
- How many bullets does it take to kill Tokyo?
- The storm is heard from inside the Bank, but not from inside the tent.
El bar (2017)
Entertains, but it has some holes...
Entertains? Yes, sure.
But I cannot forgive the fact that a phone, a bunch of vaccines, a gun and alcoholic drinks are immune to a fire that almost completely destroys the bar.
The fire doesn't destroy two vital elements for the development of the movie, such as the phone and the vaccines... Very convenient.
I mean... Really? Come on...

Nisman (2019)
An unbiased documentary, whatever your opinion of Nisman death is
The documentary collects a huge amount of information about Nisman (his life, his jobs, his family, his friends, his contacts and so on). Almost every friend or contact speaks out and tell what they think.
The documentary is quite objective, which allows the viewer to reach his own conclusion. It's not propaganda of any kind.
You can have your own opinion about what happened with Nisman (whether it was a murder or a suicide - in my opinion, it seems pretty obvious), of course... but you can't say this documentary is biased.
Finally, even after seeing this documental one question still remains to be answered: who benefited after his death? Who didn't?

Forever Pure (2016)
"Beitar forever pure. Without arabs" is a good headline
Such as the former owner of the Beitar Jerusalem Football Club (Arcadi Gaydamak) did, this documentary exposes this society's true face.
An Israeli Jewish society where every Arab is an enemy. Even if the Arab is Israeli.
An Israeli Jewish society where every Muslim is an enemy. Even if the Muslim plays for your soccer team.

Zeitgeist: Moving Forward (2011)
...
You cannot equate Keynes with Friedman...
You just can't.
Zeitgeist: Addendum (2008)
The movie is, in general, good... but the 'politics are bad' idea is too naive
The general idea of the movie is good and some ideas in particular are well developed:
However, I find many issues:
1) There are some naive, false (and even dangerous) ideas like:
Furthermore, if 'there is a group of people who run the world who does not allow people to take the power', then there is no point of doing anything at all... I mean, why would you try to do something if there is someone above you who doesn't allow to implement your idea? For many time, Árbenz in Guatemala proved that statement false... such as Roldós in Ecuador... such as Torrijos in Panamá... such as Hussein in Iraq... such as Chávez in Venezuela...
"The Venus Project" appears to be interesting, but how would it be implemented dispense with both politics and politicians?
2) Seems like we, the people, are all stupid and, hence, guilty for our ignorance... So, the blame is on the people? Really? Let me give you an advice: if you want to change people's behavior, you get nothing by calling them 'stupids' or things like that. It's not really effective...
3) The 'no State' final objective (developed in 'The Venus Project' proposal: 'the State does nothing becasue there's no State') is very similar from the Rumsfeld-Cebrowski strategy... That coincidence must ring any bells.
- the imperialism and the 'corporatocracy' (thanks John Perkins).
- the world financial system.
- the relation between the US State and the FED.
However, I find many issues:
1) There are some naive, false (and even dangerous) ideas like:
- 'Politicians are all corrupt'.
- 'Politicians are useless'.
- 'True problems in life are technical, not political'.
- 'Reject the political system'.
Furthermore, if 'there is a group of people who run the world who does not allow people to take the power', then there is no point of doing anything at all...

The Panama Papers (2018)
Waaaay more focused on journalists than the tax evasion system... and a little doses of propaganda, of course
I followed the topic since it came to light, and all that I can say is that this documental let me down strongly.
I mean, there is A LOT of material to talk about in this documental (from now on TPP)... but no, instead of focusing on the tax evasion problem, in TPP you can see how journalists collect-organize-clasifiy-publish information. In general, that's it.
Also, TPP is too partial. I can give you two facts, two examples that you can check using your own means: Fact 1: TPP devote quite amount of minutes on Vladimir Putin (Russia's President)... but Putin isn't holder of an offshore account! Fact 2: Mauricio Macri (Argentina's President) appeared in The Panamá Papers as the holder of two offshore accounts (Kagemusha S. A. and Fleg Trading Ltd.)... but TPP barely mention him. 20 seconds at most.
TPP tries to explain that the whisteblower who leaked the documents (that's how the journalists get the information, by the way... they didn't did the dirty job) just did a tiny piece of the work basically.
Very disappointing documental.
