Sam (6 KP) rated The Sparrow in Books

Incredible plot (3 more)
Beautiful writing
Nuanced philosophical dilemma
Dynamic characters
Science meets Religion and has a two way conversation
Truly an incredible book, it is my go-to recommendation for anyone looking for something new. The reconciliation of religion and science has never been so beautifully scifi.
As someone raised without religion, this was still an incredible read, and truly made me see the beauty in both hard science and faith.

Didn't Age Well
I have a few qualms with this film. I think the sentiment is great. I understand the many levels that each of the characters provides and I think the actors did a great job. I think the problem with this film is the timing. This film would've never made it to screen if it was released or even conceived in the last several years. I think the idea of an able-bodied, neurotypical man playing that of a neurodiverse character is just shoddy in it of itself. Not to say that Leo wasn't good, because he was. Obviously if you've seen any of his other works, you know Leo is great. But the sentiment still stands.
I feel like this movie is a lot more philosophical than I ever expected it to be. I didn't have a lot of expectations going in as I'd never really heard anything about the movie beyond the title, but I think it was a lot of metaphorical, philosophical meanings that were meant to be taken from the film.
It's definitely interesting to see how older films age and in my opinion, this one didn't age well.

GameCritics (290 KP) rated Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain in Video Games
Sep 21, 2017
Staggeringly deep open-world with huge variety of strategies and item upgrades (4 more)
Impeccable production values and haunting audio
The most-accessible MGS game yet
Ingenious game-structure-as-metaphor with philosophical depths
Attaching an upgraded fulton balloon to *anything*
MGS5 is a masterpiece. It's hard to imagine another AAA game that will be allowed a five-year development cycle, yet feel so completely the work of one man. A game where you can visit a prisoner's cell and hear Joy Division
