Mirror 1975
"And i can't wait to see this dream in which ill be a child again and feel happy again because everything will still be ahead, everything will be possible..."
Sat in my chair for a while trying to think of something to say about this film and no points truly every fully clicked. A man (Andrei Tarkovsky in this case) looking back to his life, and discovering that fractured memories will forever exist, but they cannot be returned to in… -

Zack Snyder's Justice League 2021
"I'm not broken... and I'm not alone"
It might be just recency bias, but maybe the best display of courageous heroism in a comic book movie since the Raimi Spider-Man trilogy. Where Batman v Superman was about being able to pull out hope through darkness, Zack Snyder's Justice League is about that hope and optimism shining through once it's found.
My recent first-watch 5 star films have all made me view cinema in an almost different way. With Spielberg's overlooked…
