A New Computer

I had this computer since 2019, I think, and it was giving me trouble from time to time because the system has become old in the past few years. I decided to replace it. The first thing I did was recycling! You cannot buy something, unless you get rid of the old one. Then I bought this ASUS for, what it seems so far, a reasonable price. The funny thing is that I then was able to watch a number of movies which I had not been able to watch them on the old computer for years! Here there are:

1) I bought this DVD set(!) in 2008 from a small shopping center in Greve, a small town near Copenhagen! This includes three disks: a) The Rise of Evil b) Yamato c) Twin Sisters.

The good thing is all the movies are in original language with either Danish, Finish or Norwegian subtitles choice! Maybe not all are good! The second movie is in Japanese, of course and the third one is German! The Rise of Evil is the story of Adolf Hitler which I had already read it. There're a number of famous actors but this doesn't necessary mean it's a good movie. They have added a sort of unnecessary intensity to the way the actor portraits Hitler which makes it unreal and excessive. I saw the same thing in Hangers Also Die, an old movie from 1943! I had seen this movie many years ago in the old country which barely remember it and wanted to see how the dubbing had worked. I couldn't go passed the first 10 minutes or so when I got an English version here because of the fake Nazi officer screaming at everyone in the beginning of the film but I will watch it later. In fact I will watch both. 

2) A friend of mine from the CFLRS days, whom I have not been in touch with since 2021, I think, made this digital copy of The Revenant available to me in the same year. However due to the size of the file which makes it a high quality picture, I had not been able to watch, this copy, until recently. The new computer makes it possible to watch and the picture is incredibly beautiful. The story, as I have written about it, is stupid, long and boring! 

I think it was a wise investment, not because of the movies! Technology progresses quickly and we all need to stay updated to function.
