I'm just putting this on here, because I have a few things to say about it. I love lists. I look at lists of movies all the time that pop up on my news feed. I find lots of movies to watch that way. This _____ (I'm not sure what to call it) was on a list of the 20 best war movies on Tubi.
It's a Hatfield and McCoy situation, and since I was up for something a bit different, I got sucked in. It was only an hour, so that was good. But then the red flags started. It's directed by and stars the same person. That normally doesn't end well. I've seen actors help direct films they're in, but they usually aren't the only director.
Pressing play, I thought I'd gone deaf. For the first few minutes, Mr. Director was on the screen. He was moving his lips, but I couldn't hear any words. I went ahead and skipped forward. So now we're looking at some landscape, and the narrator (at normal volume) tells a brief background of the story. Then, the ____ comes on. The people are introduced by being labeled with text on the screen. And people talk to the screen with their real name/role they play. I guess it's like a documentary/drama.
I just wanted to mention this, because I feel like it was a troll entry into the list I saw. It wasn't even the last entry. I fell for it, but I didn't watch much of it, so I'm ok. The Pleasant Valley War is a real thing, and a boatload of people were involved. About 35-50 people died compared with more than a dozen during the Hatfields and the McCoys. I should've done a bit more research before putting this one on. Be careful with your movies, people!
