Christopher Lee

Honestly, after many views of the work of art, its elegance shocks me every time. The way the main protagonist struggles through life, and how he pushes everyone away after regretting what he had done is strangely realistic. He questions what friends are and tries to make amends to someone he pushed around and ignored, someone who wanted to be a friend. You can't stop yourself from sympathizing with every character. All characters have some deeper meaning for being involved in the plot, even if it's not clear at first. Tuzuru truly is an iron-willed younger sister trying to act as an older sister, trying to comfort and support her in all the ways she knows how to. And Nishimiya is truly just trying to push past all the negatives, and just wishes she wouldn't bring trouble to anyone else. In the end, when Shoya promises to look everyone in the eye, to do things properly, my heart melted a little.

Now Artemis Fowl is a great, book, but seeing the trailer back in 2018, I had a heart attack. Nearly all of the actors were good, but they were clearly not suited for their roles in the film. Butler is Europian and Asian ( If I remember correctly ). And the plot strays too far from the book. I mean I thought they were going to do something with the movie delayed but it seems just as bad. I can't give it more than a 2-star rating. And who had the bright idea of giving Artemis Fowl a sword and a gun?! Some more terrible ideas was that commander root is a man, who is always depicted with a cigar in his mouth. In the movie, Commander root is a woman, and just saying, not to be sexist, but that is disgusting. This honestly felt like a personal attack. A few last things are that in the book Artemis Fowl is a cruel person but will do anything to protect the people he knows. In the movie, he looks like an average rich boy teen who is just okay with a bunch of fairies raiding his mansion. In the book, nobody goes for a full-on assault on the house. That just breaks one of the fairy rules. Also, Artemis Fowl, in the entire series, I think has only taken down a bad guy, once with his two hands in hand to hand combat.
