What a beautiful message! And really well delivered as well. Went in expecting a love story and came out of it with a new perspective. I would say though, no one should be allowed more than a second chance in this world, third chance maximum. At least he never fucked up greatly and went back in time to fix it, he only ever fixed small harmless things, choices. Like imagine he had slept with Charlotte that night in London and then gone back in time to undo it that would have been sooooo shitty, but that's just an example of how, you know, this is a we could say "romanticized" or "optimistic" portrayal of time travel, in the sense that it shows it in the hands of a genuinely good guy. But yeah what I mean is, while I think I would have felt a bit cheated if i found out my husband had countless times to perfect our relationship/moments, I still think it could have been a lot worse - like the example mentioned above - and he used his abilities for good. So that would be the major flaw in the movie for me - how they portray something that's essentially cheating at life like something 100% good. But they do end up passing the message that it's best to just live life once and not mess with it anyways so it's all good. Very beautiful movie!

Jack and Rebecca are something else, my god.
I’m doing a mini rewatch before Endgame and I swear I started crying when Tony said "If we can't protect the Earth, you can be damn well sure we'll avenge it". I just can’t believe how far this universe has come and how much the original 6 have grown and changed. I really really really love this world and these characters and I’m not ready to say goodbye to them. So Tony, Steve, you all better stay fucking alive :sneezing_face:

This film is a good exercise on what it means to live in a society. If you've watched this movie and are reading this comment right now, i think it's safe to assume you're someone who tries to rationally process everything around you and have at least once wondered about the societal structures we are thrown into from birth and how they dictate a big part of our lives from the first second. And if you're aware of how conditioned and ultimately stifled living can be most times, you must have thought at one point or another what it would be like to send it all to hell and go live in a forest and be self sufficient and not have to work to be able to afford food, and not feel like your worth is dictated by your career or how much money you have in your bank account. Well, this movie does that for you, arriving to the conclusion that to be truly human you have to live with other humans, which means you have to live in a society. In the end, that comes with a lot of downsides because as much as it is human to relate and seek personal connections, unfortunately, it is also human to seek power and control, which is attained through money, which in turn is what conditions and stifles us all. There's obvious upsides and downsides to every story, and the most captivating aspect of this film is that it explores the different dimensions of the most general possible concept: living. It makes you think, it does a good job in maintaining its balance and showing both sides, allowing the viewer to form their own opinions. However, it can get corny and a bit too on the nose at times, and technically wise it's nothing impressive. Solid and entertaining watch.
Great, great docu, with a beginning, a middle and an end, with a clear vision and (what i feel like was) honesty. Billie and Finneas are proof that, no matter how much the cultural and musical landscape changes, talent always wins out in the end. I don't think there's a person in this world that doesn't think these two were born to make music. Their family life was great to watch, and seeing Billie gain her footing as an artist, but above all a person, was really cool. She's so young, and initially I thought maybe too young to already have a movie made about her, but there's no doubt hers is a story that deserves to be told because it's just so impressive. I'm rooting for her and hope she stays as true to herself as she's been so far.
Started off incredibly strong but starts dragging by the last third. What feels fresh, surprising and original in the beginning becomes repetitive, predictable and quite honestly boring by the end. Still, a very enjoyable watch - I especially liked the genuine chuckles I let out in the first half of the film - some great one liners!
it’s painful that Zendaya is in this (and doing an absolute amazing job) because then I am forced to watch it and even tho so episodes are somewhat worth it, others like this one are literally the most pretentious empty weird self-important 60 minutes of tv. sigh. at least Zendaya is in it.
how can I give something more than 10 hearts??????? this was probably my favourite episode of anything ever. Incredible writing, incredible dialogues, incredible character building, incredible acting and such a viewing experience if you happen to relate to any of these characters (which I think we all do in some way). brilliant work!
First time I watched this film I was a kid, I really had no idea of what I was watching, but I knew it felt earth-shattering. Second time I watched it, I knew it was a love story, I knew they couldn't be together because they were gay, that was about all that I could understand, no nuances, but still... earth-shattering. Have watched it maybe 12 times in total. Every single time, earth-shattering. Tonight was my most recent rewatch, the first one in a couple of years. The first one after studying film in university. The first one after watching so. many. different. kinds. of. movies. trying to catch up on all the ones I missed before I found the love I have for this art form. Little did I know... no matter what film I watch, the one I watched when I was way too young to understand half of what it really meant, what it really represented - or the reasons as to why it's one of the most beautiful things I have ever had the privilege to watch -, would always be the one every other movie would have to live up to. My experience watching it this time around was familiar, as it always is. Like always, I could recite every big scene, I knew most sequences by heart, but Ennis and Jack feel more real than ever to me, now. I feel like for the very first time I really understood the full scope of their emotions, and bonded with them more than I had ever before. I was also blown away by the technical aspects of it too, Ang Lee's incredible talent. I understood it was a beautiful movie before, but now I can see just how beautiful it is. And is there even a way of putting Jake and Heath's performance into words? To me there isn't. All they had was Brokeback Mountain, and I will always have Brokeback Mountain too.

This is regarded by many as the greatest film of all time, and I can definitely see why. Incredible storytelling, tension from the first to the last second, fantastic performances, beautifully shot film, iconic sequences. The story in itself, you know, mob business, doesn't mean anything to me and films only become my absolute favourites when they touch my heart in some way, which this one didn't, neither do most - if not all - the classics. Probably a generational thing, I don't know. Happy I finally watched this, after so long though. It wasn't really what I imagined, but I think I liked it better this way than what I thought it was going to be like.

I miss Heath.

This was.... interesting. It's one of those films that tries to do too much and ends up falling short. It was a bit all over the place for me in terms of not only style, but also storyline and characters. There are some really incredible dialogues, and the connection between the catholic religion and environmental activism was something that I had never thought about before and yet makes so much sense, so that was definitely my favourite part about this film: it touches a subject and a discussion through an original perspective, even if at times it felt a bit propagandistic. The ending sure was something.. not particularly one I liked, though.

i like the message in this movie, but don't people know bisexuality is a thing that exists?
7/10
wish i could attend some kind of masterclass with the people responsible for writing the screenplays in this show.
This movie is perfect. The screenplay is incredible, the performances are haunting, the pace, the tone and the storytelling are flawless. What a breath of fresh air.
Great GREAT documentary, with one of the most clear explanations on why cis actors should not be playing trans roles. A must watch.
I thought this was absolutely brilliant. The ambivalence in the story paired with the great satire of the filthy rich and self-obsessed it’s just... chef’s kiss :kissing::ok_hand:
There are no words to describe just how meaningful Folklore is to me, personally, and I wouldn’t want to do it in the trakt comment section anyways, but I just want to say this one thing: Thank you, Taylor.
this whole show just honestly feels like a treat for the fans who've watched every little thing in the MCU, and even more so I imagine for fans of the comics. It's the MCU "offspring" that's felt the most like "this is for the fans!!" and not as much a "you can consume this movie/show on its own so don't be turned off by all the movies that came before!" type thing. I love it, it makes me feel so proud to understand every single movie reference.
SAM WILSON SIR...... HAND IN MARRIAGE PLEASE??????????????
okay so now that my proposal is out of the way (i love sam wilson), a couple of things:
kind of upset they killed Karli and gave that Walker asshole a semi redemption arc where he saves a bunch of people instead of getting revenge... it made me gag. I hate him (really do not care about that USAgent crap unless it's to write him off eventually). Even if Karli IS dead, the Flag Smashers storyline was surprisingly well done, they really gave them more voice and more respect than I thought they would. It is a very worthy cause and incredibly relevant as of right now, with the current migrant crisis - having Sam see the good in it and defend them in that incredible speech was pleasantly surprising. That was truly the highlight of the episode - when he told those powerful world leaders that the helplessness they felt against Thanos is the same helplessness the underprivileged feel against them every day... that HIT HARD (Anyone who's been paying attention knows Thanos was always the stand in for dictators and imperialists, but it's great that they've finally driven the point home). Anthony Mackie did a great job this whole season, Sam Wilson is the perfect Captain America (did I mention I love him?). Bucky took a little bit of a backseat which is totally fine, he's had more screentime in the films over the years, it feels balanced. Sebastian and Anthony's chemistry is undeniable, I hope we get a second season or a film cus they're too good to waste.
The Power Broker reveal... everyone and their mothers saw it coming, bit underwhelming. I'm interested to see what they do with Sharon's character now, she's incredibly hot as a rogue spy criminal boss lady.
Also, beyond Sam's speech, the scene with Isaiah at the museum sent chills all up my spine. This show is really important for the current moment we've living in. Marvel did great. PLEAAAASE give me a second season.
I cried from start to finish watching this. I'm gonna miss this show so much, these characters had potential for a freaking Grey's-Anatomy-long run. I hate this world.
This is the most wholesome Wong film I’ve watched so far. The second story made me so happy for some reason. His movies are often depressing and sad and claustrophobic but this one felt like a rom-com in comparison and a rom-com directed by Wong kar-wai is something that must be seen.
Holy hell!!!!!!! Literally lol
After a banger of a season this was the perfect episode to wrap it all up, with a bow (i mean major cliffhanger) on top. This show's so freaking entertaining, I'm so happy it got renewed seriously!
I just love the simplicity of this movie, how unpretentious and raw it is. Just real emotion, real struggle, real nitty gritty work. The almost documentary feeling is coupled with breath taking scenery and cinematography to make for the most serene, beautiful, intense film. It's so refreshing to see a story about two gay men that doesn't revolve around their sexuality, but instead focuses on their personality traits - Gheorghe's romanticism, Johnny's fear of real emotion or commitment. As characters they really bring out the best in each other and it's so beautiful to watch. It's a love story, that happens to be between two men. Not once is their sexuality an issue for them, or the people around them. I just LOVE Josh O'Connor though, hope to see him in more stuff soon.
9,6/10
IVE FINALLY WATCHED THIS!!!! I think it's the movie that's been on my watchlist the longest. It definitely did not disappoint, I was entertained and captivated from start to finish, but those last 30 minutes were breath taking. Absolutely loved it.
9.8/10
The most exciting stage of a (fictional) relationship for me personally is exactly the one encapsulated in this chapter of the trilogy. Forget the nerves and ingenuity of a new relationship, i want the angst and the high tension of a past love that didn't work out but is on the verge of a reunion. I'm obsessed with the way this pair of actors explores the different levels of chemistry, applied to each different stage of the chatacters' relationship - it's subtle, but you notice it just enough to make it feel whole and real but still more exciting and dramatic than real life, (which is what we always look for in movies, right?) without ever crossing the bridge to cringiness, which is always the big risk in romantic movies. The dialogues, as always, were an incredibly entertaining chess match to follow, but by far my favourite part is Céline's outburst of emotion in the car, just so so good. That ending has to be one of my favourite endings to a movie ever. I'm obsessed. First one was a solid 9, this one's a good 9,5. Let's see what the third instalment has got!
im too dumb for this show honestly, but all i know is that im having the best time ever watching this season, it's just so fun and creative
the writers/directors decided to have as much fun as possible on their very last season and it’s marvellous (pun intended). it must be awesome being on this set!
This show had its ups and downs but this final season made up for it all. Bringing everything back from the very first season, tying it all together, putting Annalise properly front and centre, bringing the show back to the courtroom where it belongs, turning everyone against one another, ruining relationships and building new ones. Killing Asher, Bonnie and Frank is ruthless and painful after you've followed them for 6 whole seasons but it wouldn't be HTGAWM without high stakes, pain and shocking deaths. Absolutely loved everything about this ending, especially Annalise getting her happy ending with my girl Tegan. Been watching this show since day one, gonna miss it, and gonna miss Viola Davis' Annalise Keaing especially - one of the greatest characters of all time, portrayed by arguably the best actor of our generation. Goodbye How To Get Away With Murder, thank you for the wild ride!!
Finally got around to watching this gem! It’s such a beautiful depiction of this community of people, and you can tell that it’s made with so much care and empathy for the stories they had to tell. It’s less of a plot film and more a collection of slices of life which, put together, paint a beautiful picture that transcends the screen for an immersive and emotional viewing experience.
