I don't believe I'm gonna die in a car wreck!
I don't believe I'm gonna die slipping on ice!
I don't believe I'm gonna die because I got a bad heart!
I believe I'm gonna die doing what I was born for!
I believe I'm gonna die high off the people!
I'm gonna die for the people, because I live for the people!
I live for the people, because I love the people!
You can murder a liberator, but you can't murder liberation!
You can murder a revolutionary, but you can't murder revolution!
You can murder a freedom fighter, but you can't murder freedom!
I am... a revolutionary!!!
"Guna" is not the only movie referenced in "Manjummel Boys." The main theme also connects to another Kamal Haasan film, "Anbe Sivam."
Who is God? Is it the light above? In this film, it was his closest friend who risked his life for their friendship, showing a platonic love we often overlook. Ultimately, "Anbe Sivam" suggests that love is God.
Another thing I liked about the screenplay was how it showed Subash's PTSD after his rescue, highlighting that inner wounds take longer to heal than physical ones. It reminds you how important it is to support people dealing with this with empathy and understanding.
Challengers was an exceptional piece of cinema. The storytelling, score, editing, brilliant performances, and the emotionally charged screenplay with its dramatic twists were all remarkable. My favorite part was Josh O'Connor's performance—he was outstanding.
This last shot is probably the best thing Luca Guadagnino has ever done, among other shots in the movie, and the score with those acid basslines hits hard.
A terrific flick, no doubt
Blew my expectations for real.
To me, my X-Men. :fist_tone1:
"Vedam" is one of the finest Telugu movies that discusses society and religion. It illustrates how people from various backgrounds encounter struggles such as poverty and terrorism. The movie also examines how religion influences people's lives and decisions. It's a story that depicts the complexity of society and the role faith plays in people's lives.
The film intertwines the stories of five characters from diverse backgrounds, exploring societal issues like poverty, prostitution, and terrorism. It delves into the complexities of Indian society, highlighting the struggles and challenges faced by individuals from different walks of life altogether.
Still getting the same vibes even after 2 years of reading the book. They nailed it.
the chicken or the egg
Gojira (ゴジラ) himself serves as a metaphor to the nuclear bomb. But it also serves as a reinvention of the Japanese past.
Post-war Japan is at its lowest point when a new crisis emerges in the form of a giant monster, baptized in the horrific power of the atomic bomb.
The movie has everything you'd expect in the MONSTERVERSE: It's a very good blend of action and human drama, exploring themes such as war, peace, guilt, and resilience. It puts disastrously stunning visuals and music on the table.
Just stop whatever you're doing and watch this.
Do not sleep on #SnackShack y’all! A classic funny & charming coming-of-age story all about the special relationship with your best friend. It’s surprisingly emotional. One of my faves of the year already!
One hell of a celebration kind of movie with an extraordinary screenplay for a simple script. It's definitely not for an OTT watch. Watch with the community, just laugh and enjoy. #FaFa just nailed it as usual.
Also, I have a thought that #FaFa as Leo would've been bonkers.
Sugar: You're not going to be able to make me leave Kenny.
Kenny: huh :smirk::joy:
Sugar: I promise
Kenny: :no_mouth::runner_tone1:♂
I can't help but share the joy of watching this brilliant satire #LaaPataaLadies, which presents a loud and clear statement on patriarchy and its many manifestations in the lives of 'invisible' women in rural India.
It delves into the lives of marginalized women, exploring resilience, friendship, and empowerment as they navigate societal expectations and stereotypes, shedding light on their struggles and triumphs while emphasizing the strength found in unity and solidarity among women.
"The Tree of Life" is a deeply philosophical and visually stunning film. At its core, the movie explores the meaning of life, existence, and our place in the universe. It doesn't go on a traditional narrative structure; instead, it presents a series of impressionistic vignettes that follow a family, mixed with breathtaking imagery depicting the birth of the universe and the evolution of life on Earth.
"Scavengers Reign" is a fantastic sci-fi show that's like a hidden treasure. It's an amazing journey that's different from what you'd expect. Imagine mixing "Alien" with Miyazaki's style - it's both scary and amazing. The show balances between being scary and beautiful, keeping viewers hooked every moment. In a universe of repetitive themes, Scavengers Reign shines as a beacon of originality and brilliance.
The movie came out right before a significant election in a country known for its diverse culture and vibrant democracy. Dev Patel shows everything that's been happening in the country for over 30 years-religious terrorism, ethnic cleansing, mob culture, and hate politics are all shown without holding back.
Nowadays, due to Al, there are lots of song edits that make you feel sympathetic towards people you should be criticizing. This movie reminds us to be firm and stand up to technology that tries to control us instead of being fair.
Hamaguchi tells a story about how people's greed affects nature. It shows how capitalism can be a problem, especially when people refuse to acknowledge it. The film is like a mesmerizing tale that draws you in slowly, leaving you feeling trapped, much like water in a pit with no way out.
Throughout the film, we witness an underlying theme about the inhabitants vs outsiders and the balance required to make the co-existence work.
Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is battle, love is a war, love is growing up.
Are people really upset because they weren't using actual Portuguese? Come on, first, y'all are mad because it's in Japanese and you don't want to read the subtitles? Just focus on watching it, it's one episode a week, what's the harm?
Secondly, what's the point of a show if it's all subtitled? :joy:
Some American viewers are already annoyed because it's in Japanese and they don't want to read subtitles all the time. Now imagine Portuguese with subtitles for the entire series.
The death is sad, the grind is intense, the threats are real. While his music, of course, was a product of its time, it still does not excuse its misogyny.
Imtiaz Ali's approach to 'Chamkila' is like using anime or Instagram filters. Instead of crafting scenes and tension, he opts for comic book panels. It's a bold move, Bravo! :clap_tone3:
People are really right when they say, artists are weird.
"Actually, really knowing someone doesn't mean anything. People change, a person may like pineapple today and something else tomorrow"
You'd admire how the film explores themes of love, loss, and the fleeting nature of human connections amidst the chaotic urban environment.
Where do you want to go?
Wherever you want to take me.
This film is hard to sum up. It's absurd yet has a clear message. It feels like fantasy, but the characters are real. It's about childhood romance yet tackles serious topics. It might seem small, but it deals with big issues. While it may not have a straightforward story, it reflects contemporary history. It takes on an eternal emotion in a new way, making it a must-watch. This satirical comedy highlights the religious and societal differences ingrained in us from birth.
The setup, The music build-up, The payoff.
Y'all, we have a hit here.
The choice of music for this series is on spot.
In zero days, zero hours, zero minutes and a few seconds, there will be spoilers..
Donnie Darko. What the hell kind of name is that? It's like some sort of superhero or something," Gretchen teases Donnie as they walk home from school. "What makes you think I'm not?" he replies. Donnie Darko is a subtle superhero story, but make no mistake, it is a superhero movie.
Susan's face harden once more into a mask of sadness. She finally understands the book as an elaborate act of revenge, and that dedicating it to her wasn't a compliment. She knows now that he'll never forgive her, and the book is a pointed message about just how thoroughly she devastated him.
Vengeance as justice, art as revenge.
Invincible, is not the one who always wins Invincible, is the one who always gets back up.
they really pulled a lana huh?
The BEST use of 3D I've ever seen in my life.
The CGI in this movie is by far the best I've seen in any anime, it's not distractingly 60fps smooth, but it's not trying to be a choppy 2D anime either, it strikes a perfect balance and actually enhances the experience.
I rarely comment on soundtracks simply because I just never really notice it unless it's crazy good, and this movie forced me to notice it, it was just banger after banger and really helped carry the countless hype moments this movie had.
This movie's absolutely phenomenal, and you do not need to be a basketball fan to enjoy it fully. Even at pure face value, the quality of animation this film flaunts is amazing. You might have genuine issues distinguishing this film from reality. It's just that well animated.
The final sequence is one of best sequence I've ever watched in my entire life. I'm an official Slam Dunk fan now.
Slam Dunk/10
I have a very proud record of understanding every movie that includes time travel... until I watched Primer.
Although I managed to figure it out the second time. It's one of those films that rewards careful attention and analysis.
