Menstrual Man
Menstrual Man
Some folks squirm at mention of a woman’s period…not Arunachalam Muruganantham. Considered a madman and pervert by his community, he ignores his detractors and makes his dream—low-cost sanitary pads made by and for rural Indian women—a reality. Using manually operated machines, Muruganantham’s microbusiness model is focused on something more important than profits: providing sustainable employment, hygiene and emancipation to women who would otherwise go without. He’s a man with a million-dollar idea—except money has nothing to do with it. His goal is to make a livelihood, not to accumulate wealth; to operate at a human scale, not a multinational one. Menstrual Man is the inspiring story of a hero who rises above poverty and a lack of education to become a superstar social entrepreneur in the business of breaking cultural taboos and re-inventing the economic pyramid. Muruganantham is leading a movement, not a company. And it’s spreading.

This documentary explores the personal life and incredible career work of Milton H. Erickson, M.D., founder of Modern Hypnotherapy. This unsung American genius was a pioneer in psychiatry using radical and unconventional hypnotic techniques to cure not only patients but to control his own debilitating pain and paralysis. The work of Milton H. Erickson, M.D., often referred to as “The Mozart of Communication,” shocked the scientific community with new and effective theories for therapeutic intervention, which even today defy scientific explanation. But it is his personal story that commands our initial attention. How does a child born in the silver mining community of Aurum, Nevada, and soon to be ghost town at 7,500 feet above sea level, survive all odds after being stricken with polio to grow into the man destined to become an evolutionary genius in the fields of hypnosis and psychotherapy?

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Gavin Fitzgerald's documentary moves almost as fast as its subject. It's a tightly edited masterclass in visceral storytelling; eschewing voice over and heavy handed editorializing, Notorious shows how the Dublin lad become a superstar through work, willpower and wit. McGregor's sins - that the sport he dominates is violent, that he talks loud - remain unforgivable to some, but Notorious wastes no time with begrudgers. It's too busy telling a story with as much drama as a cage fight. Check it out, fight fans.

Chronicling the meteoric rise of the Irish mixed martial artist whose journey from claiming benefits to becoming the biggest pay-per-view draw in MMA history seems right out of an underdog movie script, Conor McGregor: Notorious celebrates the rags-to-riches story of the most charismatic MMA fighter to ever step into the octagon, and is an inspiring, motivating & fascinating gift for the legions of fans that this gifted athlete has amassed all over the globe in his short but impressive career.Filmed over the course of 4 years, Conor McGregor: Notorious documents Conor's professional & personal journey, starting from early days when he lived in his mom's spare room with his girlfriend to claiming multiple championship belts & million-dollar pay checks, and finally culminates with his headline bout with Nate Diaz at UFC 202. Jam-packed with exclusive interviews, backstage access & fight footage, it delves deeper into the aura of McGregor who's already cemented a legacy that's truly one of a kind.Directed by Gavin Fitzgerald, the documentary is crafted like a gripping underdog sport movie, and packs a huge shot of adrenaline that kicks in several times over the course of its runtime. The ones looking for an objective approach are not going to find it here, for its target audience is McGregor's fans. Most of his detractors confuse his confidence for arrogance, his psychological warfare during fight promotions for brashness, and his ability to make his wins look easy for weak opponents but Conor's consistent ability to walk the talk simply renders their opinions invalid.The narrative structure is interesting, for it follows Conor's rise from an underground promotion to the biggest MMA stage of them all as he goes past everyone in his way to the fight that sealed him as the real deal. Those 13 seconds against José Aldo in which he put "the undefeated featherweight champion for a decade" to sleep with just one knockout punch is something that will be talked about for years to come. What follows next is the eventual fall with his first defeat in UFC at the hands of Nate Diaz but the subsequent revenge makes it all too sweet, thus giving the whole journey a rise-fall-resurrection arc.The behind-the-scene moments also focuses on people who have stood by him through the thick & thin from the very beginning, especially his girlfriend Dee Devlin. And their insights add a personal touch to Conor's journey, showing that he's just like everyone else at the end of the day, only difference being that most people want to be rich & successful without putting in the hard work or sacrifice that it takes to get to the top while he actually does that on a daily basis. His extravagant lifestyle may give the illusion that he's had it easy but Conor's earned every single dollar to get where he is and deserves every bit of the recognition he enjoys today.On an overall scale, Conor McGregor: Notorious is a highly immersive & expertly narrated documentary that may not appeal to those who aren't aware of Conor McGregor, and certainly won't please his haters who would've preferred a more objective approach rather than the one- sided route that this film follows. As for me, McGregor is one of my role models and what he's achieved since breaking into the UFC is nothing short of extraordinary. My only gripe is that it wasn't longer, for I wouldn't have minded another 90 minutes at all. An early Christmas present for all fans of the Mystic Mac, this documentary isn't pathbreaking in any way or shape or form but it's a captivating insight into the life & career of the Irishman whose larger-than-life persona is unlike anything the world of mixed martial arts has ever seen.

As a fan of Conor, I was looking forward to seeing this documentary, however, it fails to show anything we haven't already seen. Essentially, this is an extended episode of Embedded which heavily revolves around everyone but Conor.The footage of Conor in his early years is limited and in that respect, we don't get a true sense of his progression, it's more presented that he just, sort of, "arrived" at the UFC and began fighting; some more depth would have definitely served well for this documentary to appeal to those who are perhaps not too familiar with Conor. already.There are interesting moments, and, to give credit where it is due, it isn't a badly put together documentary, however, there are obvious gaps in attention to detail, with a lot of the included footage coming across as filler. The majority of the film focuses on Conors preparation before facing Aldo and Diaz, which, again, if you're already familiar with the UFC's Embedded series, is nothing new.Though the die-hard fans may disagree with this review, they will be disappointed to see that I am telling it how it is.
