A GUN WITH A SOUL

Back in 1999, a small animated film quietly flew under the radar, only to become a cult favourite for every heart it touched. The Iron Giant isn’t just another animated movie—it’s a quietly powerful story about friendship, fear, and free will. Set in a Cold War-era town full of paranoia and missile drills, a young boy named Hogarth Hughes stumbles upon something extraordinary: a giant metal man fallen from the sky. There were investigations underway about something monstrous, like a metal creature consuming random items.

Like all guns, Iron Giant was also made for killing. He didn't know at the beginning of the film. As the story goes on, we get to know, as well as the Giant, what his true identity is. But he found a friendship and a soul with Hogarth. As a friend once told him that he gets to choose what he wants to be. And he wanted to be The Sun, The Hope, The Light of Truth, The Saviour of Humanity, that never accepted him. He wanted to be THE SUPERMAN. At the climax, we see him sacrifice himself for the small city where his friend lives with his family.

IN THE END

Nothing really matters in the end. We all end up in the grave of a cemetery. Neither the Beginning, I would say. The only thing that matters is how you spend your time out there. Did you have fun? Did you make someone cry or happy? Did you save somebody's life? The only thing that matters is "YOU". You have to choose what kind of person you wanna be. I don't think that it was just a cartoon or a film for the kids. I think we all can learn something from The Iron Giant.

Invincible : Survival Story of a Hero

PREFACE Grab some coffee and stimulate your nerves before experiencing the Truth like Hero Story that might not be like the other stories or movies you have experienced before. In a world saturated with superhero content, from cinematic universes to endless reboots, it’s rare for a new series to truly stand out. But Invincible isn’t just another cape-wearing, world-saving tale. It crashes through expectations with unapologetic violence, raw emotion, and a narrative that dares to ask: What if the people we look up to aren't who we think they are? Before I dive into the heart of this review, one thing must be said: this isn’t a story for the faint of heart. It’s a story of choices, consequences, blood, betrayal, and, surprisingly, hope. Based on the comic by Robert Kirkman , Invincible takes the animated format and pushes it far beyond its perceived limits—both visually and thematically. Even though after each season the animation quality was going down for budget issue but...

True Detective: A Dance with The Darkness

PREFACE Some TV shows entertain you. Some grip you. And then there’s True Detective (Season 1) —a haunting meditation on time, memory, and the nature of evil. In this blog, I’ll unravel the brilliance behind this dark and unforgettable season that redefined the crime genre on television. True Detective Season 1, created by Nic Pizzolatto and directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, is arguably one of the most gripping and atmospheric crime dramas ever made. It follows detectives Rustin Cohle ( Matthew McConaughey ) and Martin Hart ( Woody Harrelson ) as they investigate a ritualistic murder spanning 17 years. But the murder is merely the surface—beneath it lies a deep psychological torment and moral decay. The series presents a chilling depiction of a cult operating in Louisiana, inspired by the writings of Robert W. Chambers ' " The King in Yellow ". This cult, associated with the wealthy Tuttle family, engages in ritualistic murders and practices that connect to the "f...

Takopi's Original Sin (No Spoiler)

THEME: Innocence meets Trauma The Manga/Anime explores how pure kindness clashes against the pain in this traumatic world. And how good intentions alone cannot fix everything. SHORT ABOUT This short manga was created by Taizan 5 , a rising manga artist known for dark, emotional storytelling . It was published by Shonen Jump+ in 2022 and quickly gained attention for how brutally honest it was—despite its deceptively cute art style. With just four chapters, it shocked many readers and started intense conversations online. The artwork is soft, minimal, and almost whimsical —creating a sharp contrast with the grim, real-world issues it portrays: child abuse , bullying , suicide , guilt , and the blurred lines between helping and hurting. REVIEW Sometimes, the brightest smiles hide the darkest pain. Takopi’s Last Sin starts like a sweet children’s anime—an alien named Takopi drops from the sky with gadgets that spread happiness. But Earth isn’t the playground he expected. The first child ...
