A Coming of age story that doesn’t ooze pretentious attitudes! Amazing!

This film is hitting me at a perfect time. Tomorrow I’m starting a summer long internship. I do feel a lot like this film. I feel like I am speeding down a dark highway, with a destination unknown. Though I am giddy for excitement with what is to come.

I loved Elaine’s final line in this film. It’s not too late for her, and it isn’t for me either. We’re all going to make it.

So I’ve been a Rogue One truther since release. So i figured I’d give this a rewatch after I finished Andor season 2.

To talk about Andor for a sec, I loved it. It feels way to good to be labeled as a Star Wars show. It’s such a refreshing take on a franchise that feels incredibly worn down.

Going back to Rogue One, I still loved it. Andor did an excellent job connecting the two projects. I definitely see a lot of the criticisms that have with this film. Like the CGI characters and the Plot issues. 

Still, I really loved this film. It almost gets me angry that there won’t be another show like Andor. I highly doubt a gem like that will appear given the current state of Lucasfilm.

This is what communism does to polish people.

All seriousness, I don’t think this is a film criticizing communism as much as one may think. I think the film is pointing at human nature and power feuds. I was very interested in the films mention of the enemy “the boers”. We have no idea who they are or what they did. All we know is that the military brass leftover blame them for nuclear fallout.

What drives a person like Kraft, to have an insatiable hatred for this enemy? We never see any of them, yet when someone mentions they killed a Boer, he is ecstatic and kisses him in joy. It’s honestly so heartbreaking what this film may tell us. Even when humans are living like rats, we still will want to seek out enemies to fight. It’s almost like even in dire situations, humans still need another people to fight.

Also the way this film is shot too. I feel like I need a shower just watching this movie. Everything is so dirty and dark. People are huddled and freezing. It’s harrowing to watch.

Amazing.

I don’t want to think to much about it because I’m scared I’m going to cry if I do.

What a badass film.

I’ll be honest, after the second black panther film I kind of discredited Ryan Coogler. But man did he prove me wrong.

This is such an unapologetic film and I loved. Gory, funny, sexy, and honest. I absolutely loved it. 

The music, oh my god. Phenomenal. I wasn’t watching this film as much as I was listening to it. Literally sounded amazing. That one scene, you will know it when you see it. Literally felt like I was transcending. I so badly wished the film incorporated that element more throughout its runtime.

However I have one main criticism. The lighting. Flat out this film looked pretty poor and even cheap in some parts. It was so poorly lit I struggled to see the characters faces often. I don’t know if it was the film or my movie theater, but it really hindered my experience unfortunately.

Still, highly recommend this film. You will enjoy listening to it more than seeing it lmao.

This is nothing compared to the horrors of Fortnite 50v50.

Lame jokes aside, this was a substantial improvement from Garland’s last film. Mainly because his last film was fucking terrible. There are still some glaring issues with this film though.

First I want to defend this film a little. A lot of people accused this film of “commodifying war” or that the film is immoral for portraying a controversial conflict like the Iraq war in this way. I see people accusing this of being propaganda. Firstly, this film is totally commodifying war. But you know what else commodifies controversy? Literally every single film released in America. Simply put, the film industry is an industry. Its job is to make money. No film made in America can escape the label of commodity. Because at the end of the day, they are made for monetary reasons. So any progressive film as long as it is made in America and sold is automatically a commodity. Plus, why are commodity’s always bad? Commodification is necessary for films to be available in a capitalist society. Even if this film hated George Bush and detailed every wrong thing about the Iraq war, it would still be a commodity. Regardless if this film is moral or immoral, the commodity accusation fails. Flat out, the vast majority of art is commodified because we live in a commodity based society. Simple as.

With the propaganda stuff, it’s more complicated than that. In a way it is propagandistic in the sense that it does celebrate these men as heroes, especially during the final credits. Regardless, it does not portray them as perfect. I mean a good chunk of this film is just them being blown the fuck up and shot at. They are at the receiving end of a lot of glorified violence. Still, some of it can be propaganda, but it’s no where near as bad as other films can be. Also people need to be more open to propaganda, to me all propaganda is, is an art piece that argues for one side. This happens a lot more than people realize and we should be ok with critically analyzing it.

Now my personal thoughts on the film. If this film does one thing good it’s the action. Massive explosions, great sound design, brutal violence. If you wanted a loud as fuck shoot em up film you get it. However, thats really it. This honestly feels like a demo test of some kind. It feels like Garland just wanted to see how crazy he could do with the action. And he succeeds very well. However thats it. No character arc, engaging plot, captivating themes or arguments. I know thats the point, but still I want my films to argue something. This mostly just argued war is fucking crazy. Which it did well. Still, I kind of already knew that.

I mean it’s a movie based off a video game made for a general audience so it’s mostly just whatever.

However there are was a few genuinely hilarious jokes in this movie. What little Hess was able to add to it did make this film somewhat memorable.

But still, it was mostly whatever. I found it a little ironic that some of the things in the movie aren’t even accurate to the movie. Also it was way too quick. Minecraft is a pretty big game and there is a lot of things they could have covered.

Redface? Misogynistic jokes? Substance abuse? Oh yeah, it’s a 50s comedy all right.

There are many filmmakers, but there is only one Werner Herzog.

What I love so much about him is how unique his films are. Each one has the similar qualities of being documentary-like yet are so different. Volcanoes, Spanish conquistadors, bears, the internet, and now relations for hire. Herzog is so unapologetically curious about the world, it’s almost sad this form of voracious curiosity seems to be lost in favor of irony and normalcy.

This film feels so sterile and contemporary. Shot Dogme-95 like with a basic camera and no extra lighting and mostly non-actors. It’s shockingly basic and plain. Especially for a man as bold as Herzog. I felt like a fly on the wall watching this. Seeing the world play out. I was a spectator, watching these actors play their roles for seemingly a bland end. Non actors playing actors playing relations. Shakespearean in its execution.

Everything that didn’t have that annoying Italian subplot was amazing. First act and third act were great. But the annoying ahh second act with that Italian cop was so boring. So obvious that it was just there to fill out time.

I can’t even tell you that this film looked bad because for the vast majority of its runtime it was so poorly shot that I had no idea what was going on.

So much death for just a piece of metal and wood.

A film about crunching the western down into its basic forms. Ruthless businessmen, damsels in distress, outlaws, Marshalls, cavalry, and Indians on a war path. All the meanwhile Stewart is on his own path, trying to find his vengeance.

Short and to the point. The West was a brutal place to live in. Along with amazing cinematography, snappy editing, and great directing to drive the point home. This is a must watch for any western fan.

Bigelow is more obsessed with the war on terror than a CIA agent.

A good companion piece to Zero dark thirty, showing the gritty violence of the men who have to fight in the conflicts started by dictators and presidents.

It did it’s job of portraying hedonism and debauchery well, but there is lot of strange directing choices.

Like the acting was fairly bad, except for Watson, the dialogue felt really cheap as well. Plus, the cinematography was awful, it looked way too overexposed. I put my sunglasses on while watching and it literally looked so much better. A basic color filter would have elevated this film by levels.

Still though, Coppola did a good job at portraying this relic of the past that is early 2010s pop culture. The music, social media, palm trees, it felt like I was watching a YouTube Original in some parts. For better or worse.

I didn’t get much out of this except that I really mis 2000s special effects.

How the hell did superhero movies go from this work of art to what we have now.

A superhero movie spoken with soft tones, long shots of aching feelings, gritty realism, and a brutal testament of the world. This movie celebrates the comic book, it recognizes it as a legitimate form of art. Yet it doesn’t feel cheap, it doesn’t mock the audience like some movies do. It applies the comic book perfectly to this modern world. 

Willis has never looked so vulnerable. Ironically in a film about super strength. The way he looks at people, his soft voice, he is so full of melancholy yet pushes through it. It’s a little inspiring truthfully. 

A man realizing he has more power than he ever imagined. Genuinely profound. Though I have to say the last 10 minutes are terrible lmao, wayyyy to rushed for such a substantial plot twist.

I FUCKING HATE MILITARY DICTATORSHIPS!

A lot of cool stuff. However it just doesn’t make a point! I mean goddamn, this film points to a lot of stuff like zionism, sexual abuse, drug use, trauma, and lots of other topics. However, it doesn’t explore them in depth. I mean for a three and half hour long movie I felt like it just scratched the surface of these issues. It just kind of meshes them together and expects them to work, when it reality it just doesn’t. 

Though still, the score, the cinematography is phenomenal. And there are good themes explored in this film. I just wish it did it better!

The closest thing I have experienced to magic is seeing the perfect moving image paired with the perfect sound. This film handles this concept amazingly.

The alligator stalking Elwood through his life, the horrible sound of the machine, groaning as Elwood is brutalized, the visions of space. So much in this film portrays the anguish of the boys in this school. And the dreams of breaking free from it. Yet the portrayal is distorted, by the effects of time and memory.

Brutal, harrowing, and unforgettable. A classic.

It’s just ok

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

To be completely honest this movie was not made for me. For the sole reason that I have absolutely no interest in Bob Dylan, plus I find musical biopics to be annoying. 

So obviously I didn’t really care much about this film. I never cared what anybody did or why. It was just very run of the mill and average. Most of the music was fine, but I never found much of Dylan’s songs engaging.

Completely uninteresting to me but not harmful to watch in anyway.

In other words, a perfect Oscar bait film!

The drug cartels and narcos have brutalized the nation of Mexico for decades. They have robbed, murdered, stolen, raped, and corrupted their way to power. All fueled by Americans and our degenerate lust for drugs. They are an evil and a plague on one of the most beautiful countries in the world.

The reason why I say this is not to condemn the film for exploring these criminal elements, rather because I want the film to make its case as best as it can be. I am firm believer in the idea that no idea should go unexplored. I believe everything should be questioned and when it comes to art, all subjects, concepts, ideas, and theories should be examined. No matter how controversial. However there is a massive caveat, when a film explores a bold subject, it must make a well structured argument for it.

Turning to Emilia Perez, the film completely fails to make a cogent argument. The film wants us to believe that Perez redeems herself of her violent past. Using the symbolism of change in being transgender to convey this idea. In concept, not bad at all. With a well thought out film, and good directing at the helm, this concept could be engaging and transformative. However, Emilia Perez does not due that at all. Perez the character has hardly any redemption to her. The film shows some of the harm down by her atrocities, but the film just acts like switching genders magically removes her from the evil she has done. Flat out, this isn’t true, she still bears responsibility for what she has done.

Not to mention the technical aspect of the film fails to convey its arguments as well. Selena had terrible acting, the songs were horrendous, the dialogue was boring, the cinematography was ugly, and the pacing was terrible. Everything about this film just sucked.

Because this film fails to make a good argument out of a sensitive issue, this is what makes it such a terrible film. To me at least, it’s not only a bad film, but immoral in some ways. It fails to make a strong argument for Perez’s redemption, and all I’m left with is a film mocking the suffering of Mexico with shitty music, and fucking unbearable acting.
All this film has to offer is an awful experience about one of the worst ongoing conflicts on the planet. It has no honesty, no respect, no integrity, no awareness for what it’s doing. It may be one of the worst portrayals of a people and their struggle ever put on screen.

TLDR: This film is a piece of shit.

New York is a terrifying place.

First one of the best comedies of the last year. That home invasion scene was hilarious. The dialogue was phenomenal as well. So chaotic, really showed how ridiculous the whole situation was. 

However the tragedy in this film was really interesting. Especially that ending. Without spoiling too much, I think Baker is showing that Ani may have separated love from sex completely. Also that sex without love is more harmful than one may think.

Overall this was great film. Fun and glamorous, yet still tragic. A true American dream.

And I thought my friends were fucked up.

Herzog is by far the most consistent filmmaker that pushes me to try and make movies. It seems like I’ll never do it, but watching his filmography fills me with a strong desire to actually pursue. I think it’s the way he tells his stories. He’s phenomenal at it. He’s so earnest and simple, yet full of beauty. Seeing his ion in this film just reaffirms what I knew.

Very few films succeed in causing the viewer physical pain and discomfort. Those flashing lights at the end had me second guessing how epilepsy free I actually was. Many times I had to look away for a split second to allow my eyes to stop hurting. 

All this told me was that filmmaking is like burning at the stake. Full of suffering and toil. Much like me watching this :)

Best example of a proper crash out ever.

Rest in peace to one of the greatest minds ever. So heartbreaking that I’ll never get to see Lynch’s brilliance on the big screen in an original form. It’s almost enraging how awful he was treated by an industry that he sparked new life into. His brilliance will be sorely missed. 

This show means everything to me. I’ve never experienced anything like it. I’ll cherish it forever.

A silent nightmare.

Reichardt takes the West, full of its action and excitement, and turns it into a solemn painting. Humans traversing an inhospitable land. A nation they have no place in, no refuge to find, yet despite all that they are here. Walking aimlessly to a promised land. Led by a moron, ranting about murder and superiority. 

The figures are hardly characters. We don’t know much about their past, only the excruciating present they are experiencing. They suffer endlessly, desperately seeking relief. Yet they get none. This is so much more bleak than I think people realize. Especially that ending, we get no answer because we already know what will happen to them. They are dammed to walk the earth endlessly. It’s almost a punishment. It’s more cruel of an ending.

Phenomenal stuff. Really dark portrayal of what the American journey was to our ancestors.

This was absolutely phenomenal. 

The cinematography was just gorgeous. I love how Eggers sees the world. Dark, full of shadows, and mysterious. Yet there is still hope shining through.

His directing is incredible as well. He was able to make the first half feel terrifying. The second half however felt more energetic. I wanted to see them defeat Orlok and save the day. I was actively engaged in the story which is something that many films struggle with today. 

Performances were excellent as well. Defoe, Hoult, Rose-Depp and pretty much everyone were just so damn good. 

I could absolutely see this being a 5 star film in the future.

My 950th logged film on letterboxd.

Such an excellent piece of work. Bound to be a future cult classic. Amazing cinematography, phenomenal special effects, and perfect acting as well. 

This film is so creative as well. I loved all the Kubrick references as well. 2001 and The Shining all getting homages. I really loved the way the camera portrayed the human face as well. Glorious close ups that feel so damn uncomfortable. Who knew Dennis Quad stuffing his face with shrimp is so revolting.

I really hope to see some Oscar nominations come from this film. It deserves it so much.

Watched on Monday January 6, 2025.

Religion as a bureaucracy. Gods kingdom turned into a fractured state, full of warring chiefs and ideologies.

Solid performances by everyone here. Some incredible cinematography as well. Phenomenal blocking used as well. Those scenes in the theater were seriously top tier. Definitely deserves an Oscar nomination for that alone.

So what makes this film so interesting is that ending. It’s what everybody will talk about and it what makes the film worth watching. This is entirely intentional. The film is highlighted by the end it has.

I don’t really know what to think of it. When I try to analyze I just keep going back to that bizarre ending. I loved the ending so much as it’s so horrifying and strange. But I really don’t know what to make of really anything else in the film. The ending of the film makes everything else feel pointless. Maybe that’s the point and I just haven’t realized it.

After watching I just feel confused. I greedily want more answers yet I get none. Maybe there is something wrong there. For now, I just don’t know.

This is my ranking of all Black Mirror episodes. I don't think there is a single bad episode of Black Mirror I just think some are better than others.

1. Black Mirror: Men Against Fire

   Possibly the most disturbing one in the entire series. It feels so realistic and the twist is just so shocking. Of all the episodes this one hit me the most. I don't understand why its rated so low.

2. Black Mirror: Crocodile

   This is like watching an animal slowly fall into a trap. We know what's going to happen but it still leaves us disturbed and shocked.

3. Black Mirror: Black Museum

   Brutal and Terrifying, truly one of the best episodes.

4. Black Mirror: Smithereens

   Although it does not have a large focus on technology as most BM episodes do, it is still an amazing episode about companies and the impact they indirectly have on us.

5. Black Mirror: Shut Up and Dance

   This is my go to recommendation for anyone who has not seen a single episode of black mirror. If you have not seen it don't look anything up about it and just watch it.

6. Black Mirror: San Junipero

   I love how this is the only episode with a relatively happy ending.

7. Black Mirror: White Christmas

   Amazing anthology episode with a truly terrifying concept.

8. Black Mirror: Fifteen Million Merits

   Some don't like the ending, but I do. Daniel Kaluuya is just jaw-dropping.

9. Black Mirror: Nosedive

   Although the concept is kind of ridiculous. I still think it plays on it really well.

10. Black Mirror: USS Callister

    As an old fan of Star Trek I think this episode was awesome.
