I got a random urge to rewatch this for the first time in years and it has aged wonderfully. 

Mulan is the ultimate criticism of toxic masculinity while being simultaneously uplifting for young boys and girls alike. 

I genuinely think if many of the young men in this world who fall into the incel/andrew Tate podcast listening category would just watch this film and try to understand what is happening then they would be so much better off for it.
It’s so funny because the dudes that listen to “I’ll make a man out of you” and immediately think of being big and strong and manly don’t realize that the entire scene that the song is playing over is showing how “being a man” isn’t helping them accomplish their task. The song says “be a man” over and over again, while Mulan retrieves the arrow by doing the opposite of what the song is telling them to do. She uses her brain.
Her whole motivation behind ing the army in the first place is completely unselfish and probably much more honorable than any of the other men, yet once they find out she’s a woman they immediately forget anything she’s done and toss her to the curb despite the fact that she saved all of their lives. Plus they don’t even give her the opportunity to show them why she was there in the first place. 

Everyone needs to watch this film.

Upon rewatch I think it’s pretty safe to say that Marvel is heading in the right direction again. 

This really takes a swing at tackling some difficult themes and I really appreciate that. Most recent marvel films have been lacking that, they don’t really feel like films, just a continuation of a multiple decade long story with no real substance to it. The themes of trauma and mental illness, while on the nose at times, were thought out and put on display pretty well. 

This ensemble cast did a really wonderful job, especially Florence Pugh and Lewis Pullman. I really love what they are doing. 

I can’t wait for Fantastic Four!

Yeah this is a perfect film. 

Completely visceral but undeniably beautiful scenery with one of the best soundtracks I’ve ever heard and some of the greatest performances I’ve seen from an ensemble cast.

The woman that lived in the house screaming "Why? Why?" at the end of the film really explains how I felt about this movie. We see these soldiers march in to this house, put the families in one room, with nothing but absolute chaos and destruction to follow.
I've seen some people try and equate this to just another American propaganda war film, but I think that couldn't be further from the truth. We know literally nothing about any of these characters, we don't really know the nature of their mission, neither do they, and we sure as hell don't get attached to any of them before they get absolutely shit on the entire film. This pretty much sums up what these soldiers are to our government. Nothing but guns to send on missions, who can die at any point and immediately be replaced.
This film is absolutely suffocating, with a sound design that made me wince, and with scenery that is just horrid to look at.
I can't say that I will be rewatching this any time soon, but I will be thinking about this for a good while.

I may have been slightly hyperbolic in my initial review🥴

There’s an interesting premise and solid mystery story telling somewhere in here but the over convoluted writing, headache inducing sensory overload, and ending that could’ve come 20 minutes sooner really brought this down for me.

Endlessly entertaining and filled to the brim with the blatant social commentary that is typical in a Bong Joon-Ho film. 
I have yet to see this man make a film that wasn’t outstanding. Every performance is hilarious and perfect for their role, the film is delightful to look at and overall just a great time.
First win of 2025.

Anytime Robert Eggers is making a film you just know that he’s going to inject every ounce of his soul and energy into that film and make it uniquely his. Even when the film itself isn’t original, the visual flair and style of the film will be immediately recognizable. There’s not many directors that you can immediately recognize from a film as distinctly as you can with Eggers. And I am absolutely in love with his vision of this story. 
However, As much as I love his vision, the emotional beats didn’t have as much of a toll as I would have liked and the characters didn’t draw me in as much as I was expecting them to. Not to say that there was no effect because Count Orlok absolutely commanded your attention, on and off of the screen, and there was an overwhelming sense of dread throughout, but it just didn’t use that and blow me away with the ending. Which isn’t really Eggers fault, as this is (from what I’ve heard) an almost identical film to the original 1922 film; but I can’t help feeling slightly underwhelmed either. 
Still really enjoyed my time just wasn’t everything I was hoping for.
