The Florida Project

Maybe my brain is broken, but I couldn't stop thinking about how Terrence Malick could rock a remake of this. Probably due to there being quite a few Malick-esque shots. I'd first like to say the very very end kiiiiiinda didn't land. It completely took away from the moment that was going on up to when it started going in fast forward to Disney Land. This movie is beautiful but incredibly sad. The first tears I shed in the film was during just a regular scene of a bunch of the kids playing. It's just so sad that this is a very real reality for so many children. And not that they don't have fun or grow lifelong bonds, but they just don't have much of a chance of making it out of the cycle they were born into. In that way it was alot like Kids and Bully. These kids were fucking incredible. Willem is incredible. Everyone was incredible. The cinematography was phenomenal as well. This is so close to being a 5/5, that very ending just really did not land. Also, the scene of Moonee eating breakfast at the hotel is one of the greatest scenes in film history I stg
