         <description><![CDATA[<div>Norah (main character, shaved head blonde woman) first started out as a glass half empty after her fiance died. She still wears her marriage ring around her neck. When there's 2/3 functional pods left, she let the other 2 go becuz they r in love thus she feels 'they r worth it'<br><br>Save the family line, cut the tree branch from the family tree for those who are loveless (eg. The black dude in the beginning and the captain who sacrificed himself)<br><br>When norah went thru the captain's stash, she saw that he had a 14yold daughter who was deceased and her death cert? was there along with pictures n her other stuffs. Therefore he was willing to sacrifice his life. The same goes for the black dude in the beginning where he had purposely chose a weak/already broken helmet. Tho we dunno what his background for his "loveless-ness"<br><br>At the ending scene, norah chose to saved the 2 and blow up the place along with herself to kill as many of the sea creatures as possible. However, it doesn't really make sense why she would cross the whole ocean just to die. She is an engineer. She could have changed some wires n survive. Which in the alternative ending, she did.<br>She threw away her marriage ring, said that she is now a glass half full person and changed some wires n override the system. She went up n when the port blew, it gave her better speed to reach up further in case the pod has issues. Tho it doesn't show whether she survived, it does show that she had a development growth in her personality and that she chose to have a different fate from the others who felt loveless and willing to die.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Aesthetically pleasing fighting scenes with dope japanese music 🎶<br><br>As a person who don't typically watch fighting movies (i prefer thriller plot over fight scenes), kate is a real nice movie to watch. Even my mother was interested in watching til the end.<br><br>It's about a young assassin, Kate, whose parents were killed by his coach Varrick, which he calls himself her family and best friend, was manipulated for years to become an assassin to kill a Yakuza family bloodline.<br><br>When Kate killed Ani's father guiltily while Ani was next to him, she wanted to retire, thus causing Varrick's partner, Kijima to murder Kate anyway as "collateral" due to a misunderstanding with Varrick "if she decides to leave, you will terminate her".<br><br>This caused Kate to be poisoned with Polonium 204, a radioactive substance in her alcohol when having a one night stand with a guy. She realizes she only has 1 day to leave and goes on a killing spee to find who tried to poison her to death (aka who tryna murder her).<br><br>In the midst of her search, she kidnapped a young half blooded Yakuza bloodline girl called Ani-chan. Ani's father was murdered by Kate but Kate keeps quiet about it. Once Kate finds out that she had been betrayed by Varrick for a whole decade and more, she killed him while he was taking Ani as a prisoner and pointed a gun ar Ani's head. Kate and Varrick shot each other, in which Varrick dies first, while Ani brings Kate to the rooftop where Kate and Ani sort of reconciles, as Ani now knew the truth that Kate murdered her parents but still forgives her as she was being manipulated by Varrick. Kate slowly dies as she looks at a building with neon lights of a Maneki-neko (aka lucky cat).&nbsp;<br><br>The serum's wearing off but Kate's comfortable, knowing Kijima will now take care of Ani as he professed regret earlier over ignoring her due to her mom not being Japanese.<br><br>Kate also takes solace looking at a giant neon cat outside. It ties into the jersey she has on, which Ani got her. That moment midway in the film was one one of the few times Kate experienced true happiness and a genuine sense of family. It seems like this memory grants her a happy death, with tears coming from her eyes as her heart finally gives out.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp;Luca was always trying to fit into his society's/parents' standards and beliefs that the human world is bad and dangerous. However, curiousity from Luca made him explore the lands and soon he fell in love with it and found passion and wonderful friends there. Giulia showed him astrology and as he was curious about the human world, he was also curious to learn more through studying books.<br><br>When the boys were enthusiastic about Vespa, Alberto started growing jealous of Giulia because Luca was his first and only close friend. He thought that Giulia was going to take away Luca from him. Same as Alberto's dad which left Alberto once his father felt that 'he was old enough to take care of himself'. Alberto started having attachment issues and heartbrokenly left Luca when his aquatic form was shown to Giulia.<br><br>Guilt stricken, Luca searches for Alberto at the tower and asks what the chalk marks on the wall signifies and listens as Alberto unravels the truth of how he was always alone. The next day, Luca went to race in the Vespa competition individually and against Giulia which Giulia was afraid that Luca would get found out by the public. When a sudden rain occured, Alberto ran to help Luca with an umbrella as Luca was almost near the finish line. When the local bully tripped Alberto on purpose, his aquatic for was shown to the public, where Luca bike down quickly to save Alberto from the murderous local bully.&nbsp;<br><br>When they almost reach the finish line, Giulia felled from her bike to trip the local bully from murdering both Luca and Alberto. Luca bikes them both to the finishing line as they run back to Giulia, knowing that the fishermen were ready to hunt and murder them both. Giulia's father who beforehand hated sea monsters as it was his plan/job to earn money from hunting them, helped to defend luca and Alberto from the fishemen. The judge officially decided that Luca and Alberto (most luca tho) was the winner, winning their Vespa.&nbsp;<br><br>When Giulia needs to leave the town for her studies while living with her mom, Alberton had secretly sold off the Vespa eventhough it was his dream in order to allow Luca to flourish by allowing Luca to study wit Giulua while living with her mom. Luca asked Alberto what he's gonna do and Alberto explains to Luca that he got close to Giulia's father and both of them decided to stay together permanently. For Alberto, this opportunity gives Alberto a father figure and someone to take care of him so that he can fully enjoy his childhood, yet provides the kind-hearted and instinctively paternal Massimo (Giulia's father) someone to care for while Giulia spends most of the year living with her mother.<br><br>Seeing luca cry his tears at the end of the movie really melted my heart uwu. He was leaving his best friend and family to venture out to the world to study with his friend Giulia. All 3 of them are going with their passion in life and going to different paths, particularly the relationship of Luca and Alberto. I feel proud of Luca that he went out of his comfort zone to explore the fearful lands of humans, won the competition race against the bully and chose his path to study more about the human world in a school. I also feel emotional growth from Alberto where he finally achieves paternal love from his surrogate father, Massimo and learns to be able to love someone from afar while being able to let them go (as compared to his jealousy before). I am so so proud of my boy's growth and how much they've gone through to become who they are now :)&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>Pinya- older sister<br>Brother- youngest<br>Dead oldest sister- dah ghost haunting them&nbsp;<br>Single mother- hospitalized&nbsp;<br>Father- dead, murdered by grandmother for being a drunk hipster artist with lots of tattoos&nbsp;<br>Grandmother- murdered Pinya and the father<br>Grandfather- ends up murdering an innocence man who banged the mother's car, causing her to go to the hospital in a coma for a month(by law lah, this guy is innocent but acts like an 🤬) and the grandmother. When the mother killed the father, this grandfather quickly used his power as a senior police officer to fake the father's death as suicide when it was the<br><br>//idk why they included the Pinya getting videod in her shower by her bff who shares it with a perverted guy who uses it to blackmail Pinya. He stalks her daily as her brother's only friend and abuses her brother, while stalking n preying upon her im her own house and own room, trying to enter to 🤬 her, but Pinya managed to shut the door off before he could enter. The whole situation regarding this pervert being friend's with the brother has anything to do with the story. Like it doesn't affect the storyline at all? If it's just to give context, it wasn't very smart/cheating method to get audience's interest. Very unnecessary.//<br><br>So basically single mother got into car crash, gets a concussion, goes into coma in the hospital. Both teen children are told by the grandfather and grandmother that they are their grandparents eventhough the mother never mentioned them before. The children lives with them, grandfather says grandmother has dementia, so weird happens, when it was actually the grandfather giving medicine that makes grandmother forgetful.<br><br>Children says there's a hole in the wall, is a wormhole showing the past, that's why it looks exactly the same as their house, just different and darker. Hole shows the children that their little sister is trying to communicate to them telling that she was murdered by the grandmother who locked her inside while she was playing hide and seek with her drunk n sleepy father who slept and forgotten about her. Pinya ends up drinking the rat poison as syrup and vomits blood and dies.&nbsp;<br><br>When they found her body, the grandmother blamed on the father being a useless drunk, the mother gets angry and uses the grandfather's gun to kill her husband. During then, the mother was pregnant with one boy, while Pinya was a baby. The grandfather decided to make it act like a suicide from guilt that caused the father to kill himself. The whole family never talks about it.&nbsp;<br><br>&nbsp;Ever since then, the hole where the bullet passed through the father's head left a hole in the wall, where the ghost of the dead sister haunts the grandmother and the mother. Thus, causing the mother to run away from home and causing the grandmother to get psychotic from hearing the voices for 15 years, in which, the grandfather tried to help her by giving her dementia medication, which actually causes her memory loss, acting as though there is no hole in the wall. Only at night, she gets psycho though.<br><br>Actually, the grandmother always dislikes the dead girl because she was born crippled and ugly/health condition where her face is always swelling. She would pamper Pinya more by giving her compliments while forcing she getting angry that her ugly granddaughter exists. The milk she forces the girl to drink actually has small doses of rat poison, the same way she tries to poison the youngest boy because he came in crippled with a leg injury when they invited them in when the mother was unconscious in a coma. So the grandmother was actually trying to kill the boy by forcing him to drink rat poison in his milk.&nbsp;<br><br>In the end, the mother wakes up, runs a way from the hospital, while the grandmother pushes the boy to drink milk n stay in bed. The sister kept on telling her he needs to go to the hospital because he was spitting out blood, but grandmother kept refusing and forces him to drink the milk. Grandfather was busy out murdering the innocent arrogant guy with the rich father driving the car while drunk and had a gun in possession by beating him up, poring alcohol on his body and lighting him up on fire. It was all because he mistaken the guy to crash into his daughter's car (the mother) when it was actually the arrogant guy's friend who was crashed the car into the mother's car when fetching the arrogant guy with his gf, as caught in the dashcam.<br><br>Lastly, mother ran away with the children, grandmother continues hearing those voices and is murdered by the dead girl by possessing the grandmother's body and drinking rather poison, while the grandfather mistakens the grandmother's for the arrogant guy he murdered and shoots a few rounds at his hallucination, causing the grandmother to die.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In the world where androids are used as butlers, fireman, wireman, etc. Teen mom, Georgie found out she was pregnant, had a faithful and loyal bf (aka the father) who supported whatever decision she would make. On the same day, there robot apocalypse occured, causing robots to be programmed to kill and detect humans.<br><br>When teen mom was 9 months pregnant during the apocalypse with the father (bf but im not sure she still considers him her bf/husband, just calls him the father/Sam), she found a safety camp and found out they could go to Boston, which is much safer. Sam searched for anyone who knew how to go there, in which the soldiers at night played with him and asked him to fight til someone touches the ground. Apparently, Sam caused one of the soldiers to become close to blind with a skull injury. In the moring, the head of the camp kicked them both out even after pleading since Georgie is pregnant 🤰<br><br>They walk in between no man's land and found an abandoned house. The next day, Sam found a motorbike and managed to make it usable. They rode halfway, and went for a break at a river. Suddenly, they were spotted by robots and ran for their lives with the bikes. There were too many and te robots were too fast.<br><br>Sam and Georgie split up. Sam got caught by an android, G was saved by a man who claims to be an AI programmer called Arthur. Arthur helped G save Sam in a house full of prisoners used as bait by the androids. Arthur said the vest could make a person invisible to AI except for sound and smell.<br><br>When both were rescued, Sam's both legs were a gone case, completely broken by the androids. Georgie water broke, Arthur rushed them to Boston and manged to pass security.<br><br>Georgie wakes up to healthy baby in the Boston hospital, Sam's both legs were amputated. Security asks G how the hell she managed to survive through it, said the vest was 🤬. G realizes she's been tricked, that Arthur was an android using emotional manipulation. Whole building rings, androids were in the facility, G carries baby and runs to shoot the EMP to kill the robots. Robots chasing after her, she switches it, which, as the android had manipulated her, was so they could come in and attack.<br><br>Next, everything is dying, lots of gunshots. G, Sam and Forest (da baby's name) takes a family picture. Sam says they need to go to the south korean boat.<br><br>When they reach, the korean lady said only babies allowed, no mothers. G and Sam cries as Sam envisioned what could they be as a family, then she starts to envision what can Forest actually have with the current reality that they are living in.<br><br>G fills in the paperwork and a note on it to her future child when he grows older, so he can read. She says she cant give him a normal life, but at least she can give him a chance at life in Korea. Time's up, she passes the baby and the boat leaves. She cries, I assume Sam died because she was no longer with him, he also mentioned that his amputated leg were bleeding out when they were at the korean boat.<br><br>Last, we see that Georgie is all by herself, she burns the previous picture that Sam took of himself and was about to burn the family picture, but decided against it. She keeps the family picture in her bag and walks in the street. Czech army was there, asked if she wanted to go to their new base. She thought for a while, then decided yes, she's gonna go there.<br><br>//I'm assuming she might search for Forest in the future in korea if she survives. Or she might just want a new life as alone. Her best friend died on the day she found out she was pregnant too. Or maybe she'll die, just like how Arthur, the Android who cheated and manipulated her, said that they will kill all of humanity.<br><br>Qst is, why was the only 1 baby (forest) who went into the Korean boat. Literally nobody else, like no babies wtf? Like i understand they couldn't let G go cuz of safety reasons, but why was there literally no baby or children on the boat?? Why's it so empty? No guns, army, etc?? //</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Elizabeth had undergone a cloning method in which she used her own stem cell to recover and regenerate her exact same replica of self, eg . Every muscle, bone structure, etc.&nbsp;<br><br>She did it most likely bcuz she was unable to conceive a baby with her husband , her husband died due to a virus , she was a famous medical scientist who invented it with her husband as an experiment , govt knew whole population bout to die in 2 generations , etc. Similar to what NASA going to space is gonna be like.&nbsp;<br><br>She compressed her memories into muscle memory , which can be recovered with physical stimulation such as pain , cuz human pain is unavoidable unless there's neuro issues thus she 🤬 her hand . When she first did it , there was no explanation on how she got the memory to do so . Could be due to genetic modification to tell her to do so , such as instinct in evolutionary psychology where instincts r passed in genes but this time its genetically modified such as using CRISPR technology .<br><br>Next , it made sense that she cloned rats first , was super ugly , but managed to do so . Then she took her own dna thru a salivary swab test like covid 19 wan&nbsp;<br><br>In one slide it showed her using IUV removing possibly an egg cell / ovum from her ovaries since she plans to have kids with her husband / in case she doesnt survive , can use another mother but still same child , etc idk future tech man.&nbsp;<br><br>Technically unethical , cuz altho she has fallen in love with Leo ( her husband ) she isnt genetically programmed to specifically fall in love with leo again . Cuz thats due to hormones , etc.&nbsp;<br><br>However, if she is programmed to do what her original selfhave wanted to do , which is to make a baby with leo as external factors such as pollution , environment , age , etc would maybe have reduced or affeted her to be unable to reproduce . However the biggest loophole is how she gets to decide how old she wants to stay as ?? How did she manage to be 27 or something for so long in the pod . She should be a teen or older since she stayed there . Thats preserving youth n how can she specifically grow to a certain fertile age where she can decide when she wants to do , which is to make a baby with leo as external factors such as pollution , environment , age , etc would maybe have reduced or affeted her to be unable to reproduce .&nbsp;<br><br>However the biggest loophole is how she gets to decide how old she wants to stay as ?? How did she manage to be 27 or something for so long in the pod . She should be a teen or older since she stayed there . Thats preserving youth n how can she specifically grow to a certain fertile age where she can decide when she wants to make a baby . That's impossible , as of now at least .&nbsp;<br><br>Lastly , it would be a bit stupid if she didn't make an extra clone of herself in case anything happens , etx . Overall not rhe smartwst movie but one that sincerely uses technology to its fullest . I'll give a loud clap for dat .&nbsp;<br><br>If u still dont get it , it just means that she made a copy of the original file in a laptop n placed it in a backup file to save in case she loses the original file or the original file gets any issues . Her backup file almost died .&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>** Alucard ** - could see his growth from hating humans to coexisting with them . This is especially good as we could see him being betrayed by the twins who has sex with him then tried to kill him , only furthering his rage at humans . Yet he was bored n decided to help a village when night creatures came .&nbsp;<br><br>I would also hope that he is able to pass thru the pain of his parents tragedy that was put onto him overwhelmingly . Hopefully he finds love in someone but was very satisfied already when belmont said " you're smiling alucard " in the last few mins of the finale episode . He seems to have find happiness already .&nbsp;<br><br>** Trevor belmont ** - this man is now a father n im so happy for him . He probably will need months of recovery from his brutal fight with death , but am still happy to see that his war is finally over and that he can have peace with the people he love and cherish . He will be awaiting for his baby soon after his recovery and i wish that Netflix will show their future child and the happy life they're living . He probably gonna make dad jokes . I can envision him doing it omgg lololol<br><br>** Sypha ** - this woman has gone thru so much 🤬 from before n after meeting belmont , that she even starts cursing now . 🤬 . But throughout the ending , she could be seen crying at how happy she actually is with belmont alive . She couldn't believe it at first , but im glad she is lucky to have him alive due to that old freak ( saint Germain ) . ( saint germain saved belmont last min when he was almost near death , by opening a portal n throwing death in there , as explained by belmont ) .&nbsp;<br><br>Was understanding when she took 2 weeks to herself after she thought trevor had died n she is pregnant n wanted to leave back to her own community . Wish she still visits them tho in the future ! Literally stuck in there for 2 week , didn't even see that the humans were building a community home outside the castle for 2 weeks my god . Just happy that she is reunited with trevor n they can raise a family together in a healthy community that they're running together with greta and alucard .&nbsp;<br><br>If belmont didn't came back alive , she would have just been a sad single mother back in her community , probably mocked , sad , and didnt know what to do with her life ... Glad that belmont DID actually made it back alive for her to say " i love u " back to him .&nbsp;<br><br><br>** Greta ** - at first i thought this woman was saint germains love of his life , cuz the hair n the flashback , so i thought he took a fancy in her . Am happy that she is a good representation for women in superior roles such as town council , especially in such an age like in castlevania . Thought that she would be a potential person for alucard to fall in love with since she said to him " i like u " n the chem between them were quite good even in the beginning . That's all i have to say for her&nbsp;<br><br>** Lisa ( wife ) n Dracula Tepes- they made the right decision to leave their son in peace ( for some time at least , was very vague ) n not disturb alucard . I think alucard may be happy or unhappy that his parents r alive . Glad that they decide to live in a rural area in Whitby ( literally just 20houses there lol ) . They deserve the happiness n rest that they have .&nbsp;<br><br>** Hector ** - sadly his feelings were " unrequited " / at flirting stage with lenore . And that lenore commited suicide n will be unable to " love " him together as she felt trapped and not needed in the world anymore , thus committing suicide .&nbsp;<br><br>Was sad as i believed he actually had REAL feelings for lenore n was perhaps requited love but since she died my heart hurted&nbsp; feelings for lenore n was perhaps requited love but since she died , my heart hurted a little for these two ...&nbsp;<br><br>Anyways, I hope he feels satisfied living his life as an author in writing a history book to prevent mankind ? From remaking the same mistakes as them ? Just hoping he lives a happy life , he has been pulled into others mess and treated like a piece of walking 🤬 for some time . Especially since hes a forgemaster .&nbsp;<br><br>** Issac ** - I SEE THIS MAN'S GROWTH ! he had been passed thru the ideology of destruction and death of night creatures bcuz he met bad humans and has now learnt how he can rebuild a life for these night creatures as he realized they have personalities and are very much human , just listens more to his biddings.<br><br>I believe he will organize a great city and remake a life for these night creatures who actually have MUCH HUMANITY in them ( as we can see in his battle with Carmilla , where his night creature protected him from her self - destruction bomb using her body , felt that it was very emotionally inclined to support him rather than by bidding ) these creatures actually have feelings and emotions !! ( as seen with the fly guy eating the berrry n regaining his first memories as a human eating a berry for the first time )<br>&nbsp;<br>** Striga n Morana ** - I'm glad the creators decided not to kill them , aka the typical on screen gay death . Was happy that this sort of thing has changed and is hopefully coming to an end in Hollywood screens .&nbsp;<br><br>I felt both were too into the thrill of rulling the world after they felt " inspired by Camilla " ( they said so in season 4 ) , particularly morana . Striga was quite the tactician as what she expected to occur did occur ( lack of manpower , etc ) and she was the one who used the most common sense out of the 4 council sisters . Morana was more of a " spoiled rich woman " i feel ( could see in s4 , dont even dare to go inside the coffin that striga use it to protect her while stiga fights all the humans outside .&nbsp;<br><br>Overall , was satisfied that they made the " right choice " to ditch their plans of ruling over the human race with just the two of them ( at least thats what they thought so cuz they expected lenore to die before Carmilla , eventho they only felt the death chill of carilla , probably thru the ring that lenore gave them )<br><br>&nbsp;I feel happy for them to decide to live peacefully similar as to Dracula and Lisa but with a small army of soldiers . (striga saying she feels surprisingly ok just living with morana together alone / n forever with their lives n small army?)&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>** Lenore ** - was shocked but understood why lenore decided to commit suicide due to feeling trapped / watched by Issac as she had no plans and felt useless in this world . " there is no need for diplomats anymore."<br><br>Was so sad to see her commit suicide by being burned under the sun during sunrise but i understood well that she had no more will to live . She felt out of place n " outdated " . This is a thing with vampires after ive read / seen quite a few about them willingly committing suicide in the sun bcuz they feel out of place anymore / decide that their time is over . I feel like i understood her deeply .&nbsp;<br><br>** Carmilla ** - this 🤬 is just always up for revenge at " stupid old men " all the time . I understand that she was hurt but 🤬 she is crazy af .&nbsp;<br><br>Like Striga said : " we may win the battle , but we lose the war . " Dis 🤬 committed suicide to kill Issac as a bomb n said she will kill him twice in hell . She really is fueled only by anger and hate . She needs some therapy pls.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp;ENDING EXPLAINED&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;Netflix Ride or Die Both are very different people in which the whole 2hr movie shows their contrasting ways .&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Rei is rich and had a life , but decided to throw it away for the sake of true love ( since shes gay ) thus , leaving what is expected of her ( eg . Husband , children ; from her brother's reaction , they haven't met for a very long time / she left home to be with her gf )&nbsp;<br><br>Nanae has very opposite obstacles where firstly , she is poor . She overcame that by marrying a rich man before the " deadline " of her truce with Rei ( about rei paying nanae's school fees until graduation and nanae must repay full amount within the 5 years , otherwise , nanae must have sex with rei as payment ) .&nbsp;<br><br>Nanae managed to repay rei with the money from her new husband . However , she got a new problem where her husband beats her up . Which she later shows to rei and takes advantage of rei by asking rei to kill her husband .&nbsp;<br><br>Since rei is sooooo in love with nanae , rei had sex with nanae's husband and kills him. Expecting to go to the police immediately for her crime . However , nanae wanted to help rei and they decide to run off together .&nbsp;<br><br>Rei views their love as real while nanae initially viewed their love as transactional .&nbsp;<br><br>Later on , the movie shows that they both continuously make jokes about committing suicide but these jokes became even more serious to the point where after they both had sex , nanae has her hands on rei's neck ready to kill her thru suffocation . Rei confesses that she will allow her and nanae decides not to .&nbsp;<br><br>The next day , they were in such a love - dazed state when rei finally got what she wanted . All this time , she did not kill nanae's husband to achieve love . She loved nanae enough to kill her husband . Thus rei has achieved everything she wanted for the past decade . ( even rei's ex gf knew that rei loved nanae and that she " found the one " thus rei's ex gf was " ok " with it and said goodbye respectfully thru the phone call . )&nbsp;<br><br>Rei went and called the police to capture her later and told them whatever she wanted to told them ( basically about her kidnapping nanae to prevent nanae from going to jail / with her ) . When the police came , rei went into the building to hide / seperate from nanae so that she makes a wall around herself to prevent her or nanae from doing something stupid ( potentially ? )&nbsp;<br><br>Nanae cries regretfully and says " ill wait for u " meaning she knew that rei will put herself as the perpetrator and risk her life for nanae .&nbsp;<br><br>Nanae finally knew that she was loved and that she found someone who actually loved her despite all the times she was abused , used and had no independence . All the while it was Rei who solved all of Nanae's problems . Including the murder of her husband which was actually nanae who took advantage of rei . But rei did not feel that she was taken advantage of . Only that she did it out of love for nanae .&nbsp;<br><br>Overall , its a story about requited love . The reason why both of then decided to escape once more during when rei's brother found out was because they wanted to test out how much they can actually love each other with the little time they had .&nbsp;<br><br>From what the whole movie tells , it's all about character development and how one achieved true love enough to kill someone.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <title>The Naked Director (2019-2021) </title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Typically i categorize shows into 3 categories : character development show , great narrative and comedic. <br><br>This is literally the first ever 🤬 - based script I've ever seen in my life.&nbsp;<br><br>After watching season 2 , I understood the show as a character development show&nbsp;<br><br>Muranishi starts out as a businessman trying to earn a living for him n his wife , saw his wife cheating on him and he left her . He decided to partner up with some guys to make 🤬 after he found out he capabilities to market anything to anyone .&nbsp;<br><br>Since it was illegal to make 🤬 , they ran around corners ( metaphor ) to make things work . Eventually , Muranishi made acquaintances with a cop , a gang leader and other rival companies .&nbsp;<br><br>He began his risky choices when he refused to join companion with a business rival and got the gang leader involved . Since 🤬 was illegal , he , toshi and kawada illegally made copies n distributed by truck , which caused him to get involved with the police . Their risky behaviors only increased .&nbsp;<br><br>As more sales went up , muranishi was addicted to the happiness of his dreams and began becoming impulsive when he heard about satellite TV and became obsessed with " 🤬 raining down on earth's TV ". He got so entirely obsessed and reckless , he started making decisions without thinking of the costs . Causing kawada to have pent up frustrations and lashing out on him at his celebration event . That was the beginning of his companies failure. <br><br>He continued to persevere , but lost his whole money when he found out his " loyal " assistant and his accountant ended up being thiefs and tricked his whole savings for not doing a thorough background check on his most important workers . He was then unable to pay his actresses , directors and worker , causing him to make poorer decisions when the economy was undergoing a recession and the bank couldn't lend money to anyone anymore .&nbsp;<br><br>Thus, he went to seek illegal ways to sell and begged the satellite company , but even they cannot accept or help him anymore due to the economy and their own needs ( eg satellite company director is retiring ) . He then went to his last resort , the yakuza . He begged for 3billion yen n ended up unable to pay , causing the yakuza to track him . He literally ran by foot away when the yakuza gang leader was about to kill him and jumped to another building.&nbsp;<br><br>He met toshi driving n toshi picked him up trying to kill him at a rural road , but didn't hav the courage to do so . Thus , telling Muranishi to do him a favor n jump off the bridge himself . Toshi then fired 5 bullets and it all missed him . Muranishi told toshi that its fate becuz he none of the bullets touched him while he was stumbling from fear of the bullets hitting him . Toshi then sacrificed himself in a suicide mission to kill the gang leader that Muranishi owes to get the gang off their backs . Muranishi only knows about it when he was a homeless man unable to sell his sex vids on the streets in a beach where Kawada told him .&nbsp;<br><br>&nbsp;He ended up losing everything n by chance met naoko and started a family together . They seemed real happy together . They even kept diamond visuals group pic from years ago and seemed like they were just tryna get thru life on a daily basis .&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Muranishi is still pulling up crazy tricks off his sleeves in the video industry but still manages to say that even a cockroach like him can manage thru the hustles of everyday life .&nbsp;<br><br>*****<br>Toshi : When muranishi kicked toshi out , it really changed him bcuz he lost a lot and decided to join the gang leader as a coping method . Just on the 🤬 tochi loved right hd ha<br><br>Just as the prostitute toshi loved , right b4 he died after murdering the gang leader cuz he couldn't murder muranishi since he was too soft , he looked at her while being stabbed repeatedly and smiled knowing his fate that she would leave him when things get tough .&nbsp;<br><br>The prostitute had always run away from her problems , such as being a prostitute while her mother evilly uses her as a sex slave to force her to get money for her addiction to alcohol .&nbsp;<br><br>Overall , i feel the most sadness and pity for toshi . He fell in love with a prostitute who will never ever be able to love him , saved her life , pushed himself to do things he would never do ( murder at S1 ) , go to jail , cut off his finger and lost literally everything . Money , love , family , friends , gang , dignity , limb !! He has no more foundation for anything ! He only has guilt and sadness . Yet , he was so pure of heart when he murdered the gang leader for muranishi .&nbsp;<br><br>The last part where there shows toshi happily shouting at kawada seems like an illusion / hope of kawada . Not what actually happened . It somehow inspired kawada to tell muranishi to regain his sense of craziness and start selling / marketing again with whatever crazy decisions he want to make<br><br>*****<br>Kaoru kuroki : She ran away from home from becoming an innocent timid girl whos constantly Kawada. Controlled by her overbearing mother into a sex positive pornstar who fell in love with muranishi .&nbsp;<br><br>She was obsessed with him and his abilities to make her famous and " original " . Slowly , she hid her emotions and they piled up 1 by 1 like kawada's and stormed out once she couldn't take it any longer . She went to live with junko , " got an alcohol addiction " as rumored by the reporters and tried to commit suicide .&nbsp;<br><br>After she recovered , she told junko as her best friend , the one who made her feel K.K by doing her makeup that the K.k in her is fading and that she wants to live back in a rural area with her mother again after she's been through all this . Her mother was happy and accepting towards her and she decided to become a student studying photography in Rome .&nbsp;<br><br>Overall , i think she was living a great high when she needed to get away from her mother and was first exposed to 🤬 . She broke down after realizing all she wanted was muranishi because of his charm and just wanted the world to appreciate their art .&nbsp;<br><br>However , not all things turned out the way they are when ur captivated by muranishi's charm . This can be said for k.k , thus leading to her demise.<br><br>*****<br>&nbsp;Kawada : He had some obsession when he fell in love with kaoru kuroki's " i love it s &amp; m style " that he watches it to get himself off . after he got " fired " by muranishi , he used a sex doll to recreate kaoru kuroki n her hairstyle . He tried to find alternative ways to satisfy himself like bondage n a dominatrix when he was watching K.K's ilisnms 🤬 vid .&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>He typically has a very well mannered , patient and supportive personality . He makes wise financial decisions for the company . He was a valuable asset that muranishi failed to see until the end .&nbsp;<br><br>He gave chances and, like toshi , actually has a good heart . He saved toshi's life by giving away all his money n assets . In the end , it was wasted when toshi did a suicide attack towards the gang leader to get rid of muranishi's debt off everyone's back in their families.&nbsp;<br><br>He knew he would never ever be able to run away from the yakuza anymore since he told them to promise never to disturbing them again . Despite that , they attacked him n kawada's company only bcuz of muranishi's debt.&nbsp;<br><br>When he went to meet muranishi at the beach as a homeless guy , he wanted to get rid of all the past and just move on . He inspired muranishi and he went back to directing in his own 🤬 company with rugby n mitamura .&nbsp;<br><br>It was sad though, to see mitamura cry and shout in despair when sayaka came to return him money after getting married to her husband . Tho i think its for the best if she's happier that way . I'm glad that mitamura said " take care of her well for me " towards her husband n that her husband doesn't seem like he married her for sex / seems like an ok guy . &nbsp;<br><br>*****<br>Junki was the first female to come into muranishi's gang / starting company and went thru the whole process as their director and makeup artist . I think she's secretly gay thru her dressing and that she shows it thru her last scene where she films 2 girls kissing as a 🤬 director ( perhaps her own company ? ) and has been seen to always be comforting girls like k.k , actresses when they feel uncomfortable or distressed . She always goes with consensual sex and i think she has a bright future ahead of her . Its sad to see her be apart from everyone , but i think that's where she will grow at her fullest potential and allow her art n creativity to shine and grow.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Great to have the 1st ever Filipino comic - to - anime come to Netflix .<br><br>Basically, filipino girl raised by single father who is also a 'peacekeeper x monster hunter' that keeps the peace between all monsters to prevent havoc affecting the human realm.&nbsp;<br><br>When monsters started appearing more often, more unusually and more threateningly, telling her that she doesn't know what's coming makes her hypervigilant. Along with her twin brothers (non-biological) that are also monsters/people with spiritual powers who are of devil descent, they work alongside the police force to rid the evil and maintain peace among both realms.&nbsp;<br><br>Nonetheless, evil spirits and monsters fail to conform to the agreed laws nor comply with Alexandra's warnings, causing the united force of monsters and spirits to work together to attack the human realm. Alexandra and her twin brothers were backstabbed, the police working with them died horribly, the spirits that worked with them suffered severe damage and does not seem physically capable of providing help while the whole military was turned to zombies and is now dead. She had a very close call of everyone dying.&nbsp;<br><br>She learns her history where her father taught her to live peacefully with her twin brothers when he took them in when their parents abused and taught them wrongly as children. This was him teaching her how to coexist with monsters/spirits.&nbsp;<br><br>Years later when she has to undergo her trials as a Trese into a holy giant tree, she disappears/stays inside tree for years but only felt like a minute to her. When she finished her trials and came out, her father had passed and it was her father's friend that found her since he has been loyal and waiting daily for years of her coming out.&nbsp;<br><br>Moreover, when she founds out that her father murdered her twin sister as in the book, it is believed that there will be 2 twin sisters who murders all human beings by causing destruction and havoc towards the world, thus causing the end of the world.&nbsp;<br><br>What he did not know was where to find the twins, so when his pregnant wife was preggo with two twin girls, he contemplated what to do as it was his kids. He learned that the older twin sister aka Miranda Trese will influence Alexandra to turn evil. Therefore, he decided to kill his firstborn and save the second twin.&nbsp;<br><br>Trese learns about this and her whole world and concept breaks, causing her to lag in battle and be unable to focus or act wisely. After the battle ended, she needs time to rethink who she is and based her concept of how she should act after knowing her father has been lying and manipulating her. Like what other secrets does he keep from her? <br><br>// However , i think that there r some few things tha needs resolve. //&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>1. Everything was so fast paced , like starting from the beginning , there was so many new things n people coming in without any explanation to the viewers.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Sure , filipino audience would understand it , but for non - filipino people like me wouldn't even be able to catch up on what they're talkinh about?!?!&nbsp;<br><br><br>2. The show didnt seem to explain anything well , perhaps its bcuz im non - filipino n that they didn't bother to explain to us , but even the setting didnt seem right .&nbsp;<br><br>Their script didn't explain to us much about the 6th child of the 6th child . The only explanation came from an unreliable source ( villian ) n it didnt make sense y the mother wouldnt hav told alexandra abt her sis / no " signs " as tho shes a cold hearted 🤬 . The puzzle doesn't seem solved as of now .&nbsp;<br><br><br>3. Anti - climactic narration : the trailer looked so good but the show seems a little " out of tune " for them to add unnecessary words -like why ur villain talking so much ? U can literally hit him now ?? It seems like a children's show bcuz of that n the 90's look.<br><br>&nbsp;<br>4. There was not much of an explanation for when she came out from her trials or what her trials even required her to do / go when she was literally stuck inside that tree for 5 years !! Like the producers shld elaborate more on what happened for a lot of things , particularly since it's a mythical show .&nbsp;<br><br>Perhaps it's cuz Netflix didn't gave the producers much time for these elaborations n they pretty much crammed the script into the 6 episodes . This is literally the 1st filipino comic animation , so im hoping i can get better Filipino anime content in the future from Netflix with better script - writing !!! &nbsp;<br><br>There r so much qsts left unanswered here , tho i would still watch S2 cuz i would like to hav a look at how Alexandra takes in these news n what future she's gonna uphold as the " conquerer of mankind and the supernatural " . Is she gonna be guilty / sad / angry for her sister / parents / captain guerrilo ??&nbsp;<br><br>I think the main issue is the Tagalog language barrier . Tho the filipino history n mythical beliefs r interesting !!! Like the flaming head Santelmo and the phone number she dialed was the Binondo fire on march 23 , 1870.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Truly Romantic, heartbreakingly beautiful and detailed.<br>Only issue is the lack of time to pursue more in-depth character and relationship development. Furthermore, there was no explanation as to why the bubbles invaded Tokyo in the first place and why Uta liked the boy so much that she decided to save him from drowning and fell in love with him. Like, no scientific or any explanation at all. Nice storytelling without proper explanation. The world building definitely needs more attention to it.&nbsp;<br><br>Still, it is one of the best animes ive watched regarding realistic requited 'true' love 💯<br><br>Iykyk, that there is the belief that there is the right person but wrong time. Wrong person but right time. In this case, its the right person but wrong time.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Hair stylist Claire has psychopathic tendencies such as pretending to care, faking emotions (mildly), deception and manipulating clients to know if they are a good fit to be one of her victims (eg. The lone traveller lady with poor family connection)&nbsp;<br><br>She is a serial killer camouflaged in broad daylight and comes across to most as shy, innocent and unassuming -all feminine traits-, but she has a disturbed mental state that only comes out when she’s alone and babbling to herself phrases that she remembered when her clients talk to her.&nbsp;<br><br>In my opinion, she scalps women's heads -and only women's heads- because she has no soul or personal emotions other than coffee and living her life as her client's. She enters their lives, creeps on them like a stalker, trespasses into their property, steals their clothes and talks to their loved ones as if she is them.&nbsp;<br><br>She seems to portray OCD in cutting hair and scalps of her victims right, therefore making her liked for her 'quality service'. She also shows anxiety when trying to lie or when she is closed to being found out. She rarely talks outside of manipulation, deception and when speaking to herself.&nbsp;<br><br>She breaks down often and doesn't seem to handle high stress very well. Her anti social behavior may be first elicited due to her father never being in the picture of her life, and her mother dying when she was 17, leaving her possibly as an orphan.&nbsp;<br><br>She seems to use murder and finding information about her clients as her way to cope with her poor mental health and breakdowns. She may use other people she knows in her life, however even if she is not obsessed or care about them, to use as an alternative to cope temporarily.&nbsp;<br><br>She tried to leave her obsession with serial killing, but has difficulty doing so and it may have became her addiction as her only way to escape her lonely life. She does not seem to have any social life besides working as a hair stylist and learning about her client's lives.&nbsp;<br><br>Overall, she first started out in the movie by killing a lone traveller lady, then her everyday counter barista, then her client's friend, then her own client on the client's wedding day, trying to act as the client herself marrying the guy. Even asking the soon to be husband if she will love her client fully before the wedding started.&nbsp;<br><br>It was insightful into the mind of a psychopathic serial killer with OCD, anxiety, and anti social behaviorism.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The whole movie in minutes (detailed):<br><a href="https://youtu.be/QCUC0W5U0ko">https://youtu.be/QCUC0W5U0ko</a><br><br>King of Thorns (2009, anime)&nbsp;<br>T-t-this... How do i even begin... It's crazy, half realistic and unrealistic at the same time. Its really suspenseful and interesting but keeps you lost at the plot twist.&nbsp;<br><br>Whoever came up with this story sure is high AF. Ngl this is a lot to unpack from a movie. A wholeeeeee lottttttttt!!<br><br>Basically, an unintended bio weapon disease from alien space and research meant to create real life events from fictional head cannon imaginations from a girl called Alice who can't die from the virus.&nbsp;<br><br>The virus is someting like covid-19, but instead of death of pneumonia, you get death from petrification, aka "Medusa".<br><br>So this rich smart guy called Ivan used his research findings of this experimented Alice until she died and stored her in a computer CPU.<br><br>He then opened up his lab called Sleeping Beauty where people who have the highest chance of surviving this virus will go under cryogenic sleep for 100 years, assuming that they will survive the virus.<br><br>2 sisters, both orphans, 1 super optimistic, the other depressed and self harms with razor blades. The depressed sister got invited to go but the optimistic one didnt.&nbsp;<br><br>Depressed sister, lets call her A, finds out and immediately have separation anxiety, tried to force her sister to commit double suicide with her at the cliff atop an ocean with boulders. Her optimistic sister didn't want to die and when asked to promise "we will meet again someday", her depressed sister got angry and aggressive and accidentally pushed the depressed sister off the cliff and the sister landed head first, causing severe trauma and head injury as her death occured.<br><br>Optimistic sister A, felt overwhelmed and lost control of herself, somehow activating herself to explode and evolve into vines and had managed to connect with Alice. She took the research lab as her core place, while she made a clone of herself that never knew the events of her sister's death or her own actions that caused her sister to die into cryosleep.<br><br>So within 48hrs, the volunteers woke up from their cryosleep and panicked when evolved bats 🦇 and randomly evolved creatures came and attacked them. Now, common sense, animals cant suddenly evolve in 48hrs or 100 years, it takes more than that, especially large long living animals. Either way, most volunteers died, left with 7 that slowly died little by little. Bla bla bla, computer AI Alice hacked into 1 of the 7 surviving volunteers who is a young child and brought them out from the castle/lab.&nbsp;<br><br>Depressed sister A views a camera recorder of how her sister died and how she lost control of herself and ran back into the castle saying the vines is her sister. Once she managed to find her sister, she realized that the vines wasnt evil. The vines are the unconscious self defense mechanisms that she created herself to protect her vulnerable self from the harsh world and there was never her sister in the 1st place.&nbsp;<br><br>Yes, she pushed her sister off the cliff and the sister died. Buttttttttttt... The one creating the vines was actually her, Alice responds to people with trauma where their headspace are unfocused and vulnerable to manipulation and control. Basically, depressed sister A created a clone of herself that unconsciously deleted her memories to go through with the events while she prevented her clone self from realizing/coming close to the real truth that she killed her own sister and created a clone to run away from her problems. The clone realized this when she saw that her "expected sister" had a razor blade scar on her left wrist, which made her had a flashback as to what happened and still managed to say to herself "I love you", which made the real self auto delete (perhaps from using so much energy to connect with Alice and the fact that Alice AI was also terminated by muscular prison lieutenant guy)&nbsp;<br><br>Young boy who plays gameboy video games all day had abusive parents and used video games as his escape. White lady's child died and so she has this motherly instinct to protect the boy and she's quite abusive as well when she first met the boy, scaring him into a corner when she threatened to hit him with her hand up. Other side characters didn't really have any backstory for their trauma, except macho prison guy who is a lieutenant that went undercover to see if bio weapon theory might be true and to report it back to the FBI.&nbsp;<br><br>In the end, after the whole Alice AI x real depressed sister x volunteer cryogenic lab fell apart into pieces, only the depressed sister's clone and young boy survived and the clone told the boy that they are going to find the nearest village.&nbsp;<br><br>Tadaaa~~ happy ending!!<br>This was a lot to write, very unusual but interesting story. I watched this movie in 15.7.2022 eventho it's from 13 years back as of the time of writing/watching, i liked the trailer so much and it was worth it. Rlly fcked up 'Black Mirror' kinda anime<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Based off a Psych Student's View<br>// Re: Is Jeff Dahmer EVIL? Is he a BAD PERSON deserving of his final death? //<br><br>Personally, i dont think so. Based on what i just saw in the series (finished it just 2mins ago), i feel that Jeff did not deserve to be murdered by a black man to 'equalize' his impact on black people.<br><br>In the last episode, i was thinking maybe jeff can actually become good. He's not a bad person, his actions were bad. I don't believe in good or bad people, just good or bad actions.&nbsp;<br><br>He had a range of unhealthy coping mechanism from alcohol addiction, smoking addiction, murdering people due to his separation anxiety (based off his unstable mother which he ignored, and a father that ignored him and his wife. Absent parents. Mother gone without caring about him, father gone forgetting about him.)<br><br>He had a few likes, and could only spend so much time with his father. Perhaps that was what drove him to have more sexual/romantic attraction towards men (not saying thats how people "become" gay ok, dont attack me like twitter users im bi myself&nbsp; geddit 😂😂)&nbsp;<br><br>Anyways, moreover, his father would support and give praise onto his interest in dissecting roadkills and animals. He built his game called the vortex which suggests his hidden ids and how his unconscious mind shows that he actually believes that he cannot have someone he loves and loves him together for long term. Or to be together at all.<br><br>Therefore, as his only chance to preserve his friendship/love, all he could ever do was kill them and eat them in order to 'be with them for as long as he can', similar to the cases of people smoking their dead one's ashes or injecting the ashes into their body as a form of tattoo.<br><br>However, this is all just a poor unhealthy coping mechanism and doesn't actually solve the root problem. His needs for attention, love, friendship, to be with somebody and as a whole community is non-existent.&nbsp;<br><br>Thus, when he was in prison and he started getting fanfare, he was willing to change and sort of exploited his actions to reply to these people as they shared a common interest and he wanted to build a friendship or platonic love from that interests. He is finally getting the attention that he wanted all his life. Including the one his father is giving to him more because of his murders, he is having closure with his previously (mostly) absent father.&nbsp;<br><br>I doubt his mother is something he cares of, as he hasn't said a single word to her after she left, same goes with often not talking to her BEFORE she left. I'd think he doesn't see her EXISTING as research shows that gay men tend to be closer with their mother and in this case, he isnt. Same goes with he only peeks at his parents arguments and fighting when his dad is around.<br><br>When he said 'I born evil' or that he was born bad and has only known to do bad things, i feel that's not true. It's what he was led to believe to and from himself.<br><br>He has only seen and known aggression, based off his parents. He was only encouraged in dissecting dead animals<br><br>Faulty obsessions can cause these twisted ideas to manifest in later life, adding on to his loneliness, his need for someone to be there and together with him, is what lead him to make him murder. Plus, his murders only gave him short term release, as he would kill again and again, even if it means to just get a little happiness of being together even if it won't last long, even if it gives other's pain and causes him suspicion.<br><br>Basically<br>1. Biological aspects:<br>mom is a previous drug addict &gt;caused him to be addicted to alcohol, cigarettes and possibly increase his risks for unhealthy coping mechanisms<br><br>Dad has severe aggression and thoughts of murder, which is genetically passed down and behaviorally passed down thru the bobo doll experiment (children see, children do).&nbsp;<br><br>His mom was on several drugs during birth. Postpartum depression could potentially affect Jeff and his mom to have an imbalance or lack of hormones. Could possibly develop mental illnesses too for both people.&nbsp;<br><br>2 psychopathic people makes one psychopathic child. His genes held the potential to become a murderer.&nbsp;<br><br>2. Behaviorally/Environmentally:<br>Jeff was encouraged and complimented on him dissecting dead animals. The positive reinforcement from his dad creates his maladjusted fetish to manifest as he becomes older to kill and dissect people.&nbsp;<br><br>The Trigger:<br>His mom leaving. His mom leaving caused him to develop separation anxiety. His dad forgetting about him after leaving did potentially worsen this for him.&nbsp;<br><br>And, when he was told by his dad to leave, to be left alone and away from him. His dad was his only anchor in life, and his anchor clearly did not treat him well :(<br><br>Mentally/Emotionally:<br>He is good in dissection as he was encouraged to do so during childhood and when the bully and teacher complimented him in high school. He had a lack of affection which promoted his actions in opening bodies. It activated his strengths and complimented his needs as a form of coping behavior instead of actually seeking help from a psychologist (seems like he never believed in psychologists, but lucky he didn't. Psychologists weren't the best during the 1970s+-, they'd probably ask him to do a lobotomy or the electric chair to 'fix' his brain)&nbsp;<br><br>Even when the black deaf man showed that he could potentially had a change, but all that diminished when he decided he COULDN'T change and decided to kill him instead. That man could have provided him the love that Jeff needed and Jeff could have provided the true love that the man needed. However, things didn't go to plan when Jeff held on to his fixed mindset.&nbsp;<br><br>3. During his murders<br>I truly believe that he planned his murders specifically on gay black men, but mostly because it fits with his agenda/interests/resources that he could afford.&nbsp;<br><br>Agenda- kill someone /kill someone handsome (i dont believe he was a 🤬, just that he needed someone to the point he'd rather take a child that may have looked like a young adult)&nbsp;<br><br>Interests- he didn't kill a white guy. Anything but a white guy, because it reminded him of his dad. He didn't wanna kill his dad, he wanted his dad's attention but didn't know how to put it into words or actions because his dad would scold him all the time. Moreover, he never physically or aggressively go against his dad, slightly i believe because he actually wanted his dad's attention deep down, even if it means murders under his grandma's basement.<br><br>Black and colored people were mainly easier because they wouldn't be found or get caught. Gay because that would suit his romantic/sexual interests (which i believe he later used it as an excuse cuz cops dont really like to talk about/deal with lgbt issues)&nbsp;<br><br>Resources- he genuinely chose a poor black neighborhood because that is all he could afford. His dad didn't gave him much, and even though his grandma truly loved him and tried to help him, he was quite poor during that time (p/s: im glad his grandma got dementia because even though Jeff never really cared for his grandma or women in general -never listened to them often-, his grandma should be lucky and happier knowing his grandson is a good boy, let's give her her own happiness loop okay 😤 she deserves better)&nbsp;<br><br><br>4. Afterwards:<br>When he was forced to attend church preaching in jail, that was his only form of entertainment and people gave him attention for that. Preacher, father, etc that encouraged this behavior. He liked that. And it worked much better than him trying to promote his murders in the jail towards his jail mates. Therefore, he didn't associate much with his jail mates unless they talked to him first with small talk.&nbsp;<br><br>Biologically, he was fed Prozac for OCD, mood and sleep issues in jail.&nbsp;<br>I think, all this could have been prevented if his father stayed with him a little more, if his mother would have brought her with him (might have helped him slightly but he doesn't seem to be influenced or interested in her other than her leaving), if his father encouraged him in sports, if he had went for psychotherapy, if he had found a community in sports or Christianity, if he changed his fixed mindset to a growth mindset, if he didn't kill the black deaf guy, etc.&nbsp;<br><br>With all due respect, the victims families can NEVER truly be compensated enough, same goes with Glenda Cleveland who tried so hard to live with the fact that her neighbor was murdering people day and night right next to her apartment and trying so hard to get somebody's attention, anybody really, to listen to her voice and act on it. All due to her being a black woman.&nbsp;<br><br>She continued to live in solidarity at her old apartment, continuously living in her own hell loop ➿ and refused to leave until the notice came that the building is being demolished. Then only did she moved to a slightly further building that is still close to the one she and Jeff lived in. I doubt she ever recovered from her PTSD. All that anxiousness and restlessness and constant negative thoughts of her neighbor would still haunt her same as the smell still living in her brain 🧠 knowing what horrible things happened while she was constantly being ignored. Her stress would likely have affected her health into dying from high blood pressure and heart diseases at the age of 56...&nbsp;<br><br>They all deserve BETTER. They all deserve MORE. But even til the day they died, til now, they have and are still never well compensated.&nbsp;<br><br><br></div>]]></description>
