should I give it the ol' good play or not? why is it one of your favorites?
Brandon Hill
Yes, I'm really curious to know why someone who has watched almost 1300 movies thinks that movie is one of the best he's ever seen.
Bentley Rogers
Seriously, what is that thing?

right, sure. it's sort of hard to express exactly what i love about that film, because it's something a little intangible, or between the lines, but i can try. basically, Reichardt uses the three-act structure to explore visual storytelling techniques she's applied previously in her career. it progressively emphasizes these techniques over dialogue/clear narrative progression in each act, with the first being driven by exposition and the third featuring very little dialogue at all. there's also the fact that i'm just a huge fan of her aesthetic and tone - the sort of midwest melancholy which permeates everything she's made. i wouldn't expect most people to love it as much as i do.
really, i don't recommend watching it if you haven't seen any of her other films. she's a director who gains a lot from being viewed chronologically, lots of very clear thematic throughlines and ideas present. you can skip River of Grass, though.
Can you elaborate more on what you didnt like about Akira? I see that Orson Welles Othello is on your watchlist. Get hype because its easily the best Othello adaptation, and one of the all time great Shakespeare movies.
Jackson Howard
>Othello good to hear. i remember his Macbeth adaptation being something of a mixed bag, but it's been several years since i've seen it.

I just felt like the characters, plot, and setting weren't explored nearly as much as it was in the manga. I loved the manga's cyberpunk settings and how it went into detail on the different factions and just the overall world building. The movie captured some of those elements but I just felt it lacking on the details (which is somewhat understandable given the length). The characters were also wholly uninteresting in the movie for the most part which made the climax very unsatisfying for me.
Maybe it's dumb of me to compare it so much to the manga but I can't help it since I did read it first.
Daniel Bennett
With Shakespeare adaptations i find that any version with Laurence Olivier or Kenneth Branagh is going to be the best, but not with Othello. Welles is far better than Olivier in this role. Call me a pleb but i actually think the recent Macbeth adaptation with Fassbender and Cotillard is the best adaptation. Even better than Polanski
Grayson Morris
I was just curious because ive never read the manga so I guess i didnt have as much to be disappointed about.
Colton Parker
i actually agree with that. even better than Throne of Blood, imo. haven't seen Polanski's Macbeth, though. i think Justin Kurzel is an incredibly talented and creative director, and i'll be very disappointed if the critical/commercial reception of his Assassin's Creed film causes his career to stall out.
Once this girl told me that Donald Duck was unironically her favorite character like from all media ever and she had all sorts of Donald Duck content

Recently saw Dogville, instantly went up to my (currently) favorite movie. Let's talk about how awesome it is Don't say anything about the other movies from von Trier tho, currently downloading Antichrist and Melancholia, the latter I've seen before but I forgot everything
James Johnson
I wonder what Mr. Chinese Doggy thinks of Dogville
Lucas Hernandez
I could have watched a feature-length movie in that time I spent waiting around my house -cryen emma in beanie pincter-
