not a dull moment in sight.
i absolutely love the mood that's set in this film by the neon lights, the soundtrack and the burning colours. i think it's successful in leaving the audience asphyxiated by the degradation of society, seen from the inside of a taxi, roaming the streets, and its passengers. these are by far my favourite aspects of the film.
Travis' character arc is okay, De Niro's performance is brilliant, I'll give the shooting sequence a break since this was made in the 70s. I can see the appeal, but it's not an important movie to me, personally. Doesn't pull on any particular emotional or intellectual strings of mine. The social commentary aspect of it is, again, what i take away from it.
watched this movie cus my brother really wanted me to lol.... i could smell the white saviour complex coming a mile away. it’s 2019 can we please stop making movies about vile white men realising they’re f*cking disgusting? I’m not gonna pat you in the back for being a decent human being. i have 0 sympathy for this CP Ellis man. thank god this didnt get any hype or it might have gone on to win the 2020 Oscar for best picture lmaooooo
meh, this was veryyyy underwhelming
the Mexico part in this film is my all time favourite moment in any romance movie ever.
it started out really well but from the point when Destiny has the baby the pacing and the structure of the movie became weird.
the concept behind this film and the way it's realised is insane. really really really good.
wasn't a very good movie, but james mcavoy made it worth its while. i'm curious to watch the last movie of the trilogy! (unbreakable was amazing tho, but this definitely fell short)
this was the movie that made me have the world’s largest crush on heath ledger when i was like in 5th grade so i was obsessed w it for the longest time, crush hasn’t faded one bit but oof it’s no longer strong enough to make up for how terribly cliche this movie is
what is chris nolan smoking every time he makes a movie?!?
no, seriously, i was proud of myself that i figured out teddy wasn't actually the killer and that natalie was using leonard's revenge to get her own with more or less 40 minutes left of the movie. i thought i'd managed to figure out the big plot twist ahead of time like i did with fight club and was feeling all cocky until the movie threw me another curve ball with Leonard being Sammy all along lol. amazing ending. amazing movie.
this is one of those true story movies you spend the whole time going "nah this can't have actually happened". also i love eddie murphy
..................... does this is us deserve rights. discuss.
the animation is breathtaking and the magical themes are wonderful. loved it! + can't stop humming the siren call now lmfao
By far the most fascinating thing about this film is how intentional every single frame and word feel, it doesn't let out for a second, from the beginning to the end. Genius and one of a kind.
This is one of those movies where you can tell there was so much heart and dedication put into the first half and then everything just started feeling less and less tight and pre-meditated in the second half. I wouldn't call it rushed or lazy but just a lot less perfected - using a fitting comparison, the first half felt like a polished diamond while the second one felt very much like a rough one. Still, I had a really fun time watching it, the colours, the aesthetic, harley's narration, the jumps in time, the title cards, THE MUSIC!!!!!, and most action sequences were really really cool and entertaining. Just wished the story had been given as much thought as they did the style.
This film joins so many of my favourite things: bonnie & clyde trope, road stories, epic love, daniel kaluuya, gorgeous cinematography, amazing music... I was itching to watch it, so I did as soon as it came out on digital. It lived up to every single expectation and exceeded others. I freaking LOVED it. Daniel and Jodie were incredible and their chemistry was on fire from the very first scene; the film is shot sooo beautifully, it actually reminded me so much of Moonlight, which i basically consider the most beautiful movie i've ever watched (the greenish tilt, the emotional close ups, the stillness in the movement.. just gorgeous, some shots are gonna stay in my mind for weeks). Can't wait to watch it again!
im not a fan of the erratic claustrophobic style, so this wasn't my cup of tea. exciting ending, but that was the only time the film really caught my attention, everything else was just a lot of noise and confusion. again, it just isn't for me, personally, but i can see the appeal if you're a fan of this type of storytelling. great performance by adam sandler.
perfect episode is perfect. i love this show and the people in it.
More than a movie about Jimmie or the house, this felt like a movie about San Francisco, about the way the city has evolved and deteriorated and the way its people have been affected by phenomena such as gentrification and pollution. The dedication Jimmie has towards the house feels like a representation of the love the people of San Francisco have for their city, and the obstacles he faces when trying to own it feel like a representation of the way San Francisco has neglected its native residents in favour of fake progress and the inflated housing market. It was an interesting watch for someone like me who doesn't know anything about San Francisco but can relate these issues to places I do know. The use of an almost magical fantasy-like photography elevates the story.
It was an important story to tell, but no amount of stars in your cast can make up for a superficial script. This cast and this story with a more ambitious production could have been bombastic, pun totally intended lol
p.s: i am so fucking obsessed with Charlize Theron... she is one of the greatest actors of our generation, but she needs to start getting cast in better movies im begging
i wasnt raised on disney so ive been trying to catch up, still have a long way to go but this one joins Coco and Toy Story at the top. i love the story and i loved the character of mulan so so much, the music and the chinese culture are both so beautiful. still, no animated movie will ever beat spirit in my heart.
Insane subject matter and story filled with social commentary and metaphorical meaning, told through gorgeous cinematography. Unfortunately though, i found it unbearably slow and dragged out. Had this been about 30 minutes shorter it would have been a massive favourite.
Just not my type of film whatsoever. Total personal opinion, as I can see why it's considered a classic, it just didn't resonate with me.
I'm only just now starting to watch some of the old Hollywood classics, as I used to feel I wouldn't be able to enjoy them properly after how conditioned I've been by modern film-making to expect fast paced, seamlessly edited, cgi filled movies, which I thought would, unfairly, make me dislike older movies. Psycho, however, has to be one of the greatest classics I've watched, and as different as style and form used to be back then, I didn't feel bored for one second, on the contrary, this has to be one of the most exciting films I've ever watched. It's a great achievement in the art of suspense, with its eerie soundtrack and chilling montages. The twists are great and the acting by Leigh and Perkins is just delicious. I loved it!
It achieves its job in showing America is completely broken - with some good sequences explaining why by demonstrating that the Democratic party is too weak and corrupt to stand a chance - but it's kind of all over the place with the narrative, the editing and the connective thread bringing it all together. Still, it's an effective documentary, from an angry (and with every right to be) point of view.
After reading comments I literally feel like these fucktards are still making money off this stupid Fyre festival by making documentaries about it and milking it like crazy. I didnt pay a cent to watch this so that's fine, and I think it was a decent enough film, but I got a crazy hatred for the sociopaths behind it now, and feel like this documentary doesn't do enough to hold them accountable. Also something seriously needs to be done about influencer culture, and they briefly brush on the subject in this by saying the rules for posting advertisements are getting stricter but that’s not enough - that’s maybe the only good thing about Fyre festival, it’s that these dumb rich kids got what was coming to them.
It's heartbreaking and brave and extremely raw, but it was also painfully slow. It will leave an impression for years to come I'm sure, definitely one of the most unforgettable movies I've ever watched. Not everyone would have the guts to tell this story, in this way, my hat's off to Michael Haneke.
cute movie and it's refreshing that the love story is wlw. but that's really all there is to it.
This is a perfect movie. Simple as.
i really love this shooooooow :((((
