The Wes Group - 8 of 9
Going to write something extra special for this one, but give me some time.
Edit:Β How does one talk about something that has been their favorite film for such a long time? A film with so many layers to its storytelling, but with such a simplistic story behind all of it?Β
I suppose youβd start with the story. A young girl sits in a cemetery reading a novel. An author suffering from writerβs blockβ¦
Parts 16 - 18
And like that, itβs done.Β
You canβt go home again. Your home has changed and so have you. A man walks into a river from his childhood, but it is not the same. The river is different now and the man is older.Β
So much time on the road, people get older and start to die. Wounds heal but scars remain. It all started with a young woman wrapped in plastic, but now Pete can goβ¦
Peter Jackson 13
(Extended)
βThere is still some mystery left in this world, and we can all have a piece of it for the price of an admission ticket.β

Long, occasionally racially insensitive, but a gorgeous time of an epic romance. The horrors on the island are some of the most thrilling blockbuster work Iβve seen in some time. Wish people regularlyβ¦
Cronenberg 22
Crimes that we are not quite beyond. Our bodies are changing, our world is decaying, and pain becomes the new sex. David becoming reflective on the genre that he created and made his own.Β

9.5/10
