“Am I a scary monster?”
Dealing with your past trauma is not easy. No matter how much you try to move pass it and make new fresh memories in your life, it will always find a way to get back to your soul and your mind and it negatively affects your current state. The only way you can get through it is accepted that it happened and find some form of happiness out of it in order to build…
Fuck.
Denis Villeneuve really came into the scene and delivered Part 1 of an epic story that is detailed within scale and rich within story, character, and theme. Leaving the theater with my mouth open throughout half of the runtime and thinking that we have found this generations answer to Lord of The Rings right here. It’s truly awe inspiring.
If we lived in a perfect word, this would have a $100 million opening weekend. But that sadly won’t happen.…
This film shouldn’t have work. Like at all. I mean this film goes against so much of what the original 3 set up and established, and twisted it in them in its own head into something that wasn’t the series intent. And yet… it somehow does work. Like how????
Sure the film has some minor flaws that kept it from being a perfect film like the original 3, I still have it at a 5/5 because nearly everything in this…
Ah. I remember this was the first real cinematic event of my life. That’s right. Before Deathly Hallows Part 2, before Force Awakens, and even before Endgame, this film was the first thing I ever had true hype for and it delivered on every single level I can imagine it deliver on. Man, I would do anything to go back in time and experience this on the big screen for the first time.
But even after all years, this film…
The ultimate Thanksgiving film.
Just a great old murder mystery that pays respect to the murder mysteries that come before while putting its own unique spin to the genre that will probably be imitated in a few years that most imitations will probably forget the key ingredients that this film accomplished.
It’s highly engaging, thrillingly entertaining, expertly well crafted in terms of filmmaking and overall substance, and endlessly re watchable. It’s everything you want in a film and more.
We don’t deserve Rian Johnson. Can’t wait what he’s got in store with the sequel.
Basically The Godfather for fashion and people who’s last name are Gucci and if it went more on the campy side of things.
About midway in the film, Jared Leto went so over the top with his Italian accent in his performance and I was thinking of two things:
1. He went full Eddie Redmayne in Jupiter Ascending levels of performance
2. Him with his Italian accent could probably have been a better choice to voice Mario in the animated Mario film than Chris Pratt.
