Inside Out, Characters that Personify Emotions Move Around Cutely.
The movie "Inside Out" is a masterpiece because it powerfully conveys the essential message that recognizing and accepting all of our emotions, especially sadness, is vital for emotional well-being. By personifying emotions as characters, the film not only entertains audiences of all ages but also helps viewers understand the mechanics of emotions and relationships, making the importance of sadness especially clear.

Avengers: Infinity War – “All the heroes from the MCU gather together!”
This film reunites many heroes for the first time since the Civil War, allowing each to shine in their own moment. However, people who haven't seen any Marvel films and are seeing this one for the first time, or those who haven't seen any of the other films, may find it confusing. Especially at the beginning, when Thor escapes in a spaceship with one eye, it's confusing if you haven't seen Battle Royale. As the second-to-last film before "Endgame," Avengers: Infinity War stands out by bringing together numerous characters and altering the usual superhero narrative with its bold ending. -

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 “Katniss’s story finally comes to an end!”
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 concludes Katniss's journey with a fierce battle between the rebel army and the dictatorial state. While Jennifer Lawrence's performance and the film's action are commendable, I believe the film falls short as a finale, earning a rating of 2.5 points in my personal assessment. Despite this, its value lies in providing closure to the series. -
