“Stick to your plan. Trust no one. Stick to the plan. Forbid empathy. Stick to the plan. Anticipate, don't improvise. Stick to your plan. Never yield an advantage. Stick to the plan. Fight only the battle you're paid to fight. Ask yourself, ‘What's in it for me?’. Stick to the plan. Trust no one. Empathy is weakness. Weakness is vulnerability. This is what it takes if you want to succed. Simple.”
watched Fincher's new film "The Killer". Is it based on Lawrence Block's killer Keller? thought so, but it was a graphic novel." At first I was a bit disappointed, but I was drawn in from the very beginning of the film! was emotionally involved with Fassbender, th nameless assassin without a name and without dialogue! The Smiths' famous music played all over the place! As usual, Reznor's sound effects were superb! The film begins with a monologue about the wait for the assassination, the failure, the escape, and the counterattack! The film moves from Paris to Dominica to North America, showcasing the assassin's know-how, lessons learned, and details! While maintaining tension, the ups and downs of the story are as dramatic as the classics that morph from the opening to the closing chapters! This will be a strong IP. Will it become a series? wish I had seen it in a movie theater. Highly recommended.
The world forever changes.
Cinematography wise, Amazing. So immersive. Nolan knocked it out of the park as usual. So story wise, there were some moments where my heart thumping, smart dialogue etc.
But it felt more like a documentary than a biopic. I would've love to know more about Oppenheimer as a person rather than seeing a sequence of events that unfolded. He's such a complex character put into a unique situation, I really wish Nolan dived more into that part. Also, there's always so much happening, you can't miss a single dialogue or you'll be like: 'wait wth is happening who's that guy again now". You will know when you see it.
What truly sets Oppenheimer apart is its exploration of profound moral questions. The film delves into the ethics of scientific discovery, the consequences of playing with unimaginable power, and the weight of decisions that can shape the course of history. It leaves the audience pondering the moral ambiguities surrounding Oppenheimer's work and its lasting impact on humanity.
In conclusion, Oppenheimer is a tour de force in film-making. It combines exceptional storytelling, outstanding performances, and thought-provoking themes that resonate long after the credits roll. If you're a fan of historical dramas or simply appreciate outstanding cinema, this movie is an absolute must-see. It deserves every accolade and stands as one of the finest films of our time.
Definitely worth a watch, but make sure you brush up on your WW2 history knowledge or else you might not get the full context.
Mankind was born on Earth. It was never meant to die here.
I had a privilege to experience in the theater in a freakin BIG SCREEN. I wasn't a movie buff nor I used to go to the movies when this was released. But we had a screening at our place, and I freakin loved it.
It's a bold, beautiful cosmic adventure story with a touch of the surreal and the dreamlike.
It’s damn near three hours long. There’s that. Also, Interstellar is a space odyssey with no UFOs, no blue-skinned creatures from another planet, no alien bursting from the chest of star Matthew McConaughey.
Just as his Batman trilogy was far more philosophical and knottily plotted than the average superhero movie, Interstellar is sufficiently grand and challenging to bear comparison with those two touchstones of mind-bending epic sci-fi: Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey and Tarkovsky’s Solaris.
Hans Zimmer’s music makes the film seem even more colossal than it would otherwise: Zimmer invokes the original meaning of ‘pulls out all the stops’, rattling our teeth with reverberating pipe-organ chords. And the acting is as full-blooded as anything you’d find in an earthbound drama.
Next comes the wow factor that makes Interstellar nirvana for movie lovers. A high-tension docking maneuver. A surprise visitor. A battle on the frozen tundra. A tidal wave the size of a mountain.
Newton's third law – the only way humans have ever figured out of getting somewhere is to leave something behind.
