The Mauritanian, Two Graves, and NEZHA.
All three movies are available on Netflix.
I would say that the Mauritanian was the best of the three. It is based on a true story, and again, I find another reason why I never liked Obama.
The Mauritanian is a 2021 legal drama film based on the memoir of Mohamedou Ould Slahi,[5] a Mauritanian man who was held from 2002 to 2016 without charge in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, a United States military prison.
… In November 2001, Mohamedou Ould Slahi is in Mauritania, two months after the September 11 attacks. A Mauritanian policeman tells Mohamedou that Americans want to have a talk with him. Mohamedou agrees to go with them.
In Albuquerque, New Mexico, in February 2005, lawyer Nancy Hollander is told by French lawyer Emmanuel that a lawyer from Mauritania approached his firm in Paris on behalf of Mohamedou’s family. They haven’t seen Mohamedou since he was arrested three years ago and only just found out in a newspaper that he is being held by the United States at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp and is accused of being one of the organizers of 9/11. Emmanuel asks Nancy to look into it because she has a security clearance from a previous case and can ask questions he can’t. Nancy agrees to check.
Two Graves started slowly, and I almost stopped watching, but I looked to see how many episodes there were and told myself I could try to see it through to the end. The plots and twists are what I liked about the movie, and I have to admit that they took me to places I hadn’t thought of, as to how it would end.
NEZHA is an animated movie that I decided to watch because I had read in The Washington Post that Nezha 2 was not successful in the United States, but has grossed over $ 2 billion worldwide. This was not NEZAH two, but if it is similar to the one I saw, I don’t understand why the critics claimed that it was too hard to follow. Either the rest of the world is much brighter than US critics, or US critics do not understand the rest of the world. Either way, it had me laughing through much of the movie, but I find violence funny. Remember, as my wife tells me, it is a movie. Think of the Road Runner, Porky Pig, and Bugs Bunny.
