The greatest epic ever made. It’s truly a remarkable film, and a foundational piece of cinema. The film almost appears difficult to watch due to its length, but *Lawrence *remains super rich and complex in its themes and characters. It becomes one of the most immersive films, encouraging the viewer to lose themselves in its narrative. The film is elevated by its incredible cinematography and beautiful soundtrack. Just amazing.

Very good and super relevant for today’s world.* Videodrome *is a film that deals with media obsession to an extremely impressive degree. It’s almost a necessary topic for a film, but I do think it’s much better for its ideas than its actual narrative. This is probably of the most difficult films I’ve had to digest. It really requires some time to think about. I love horror, especially body horror, but I did think it was a bit unnecessary here. Every single moment in this movie is weird, which I will argue is actually necessary, but did we really need to see so many hands in so many abdomens? I think you would have a much better film if they were a bit more uniform in their vision. But I get it. The most important here is for the audience to feel a similar loss of distinction between reality and media. Just like Max. Technology and media can fundamentally change us. This film, to me, is an excellent warning of the dangers that can follow any sort of obsession, but most notably the danger of being consumed by the very thing we view as entertainment.

Incredible film. Really manages to be such a fun and heartwarming movie.  It is a “feel good” movie, which I think has this negative connotation for feeling too similar and being predictable. However, I do think this was executed with extreme care and excellence.  It is the true life story of John Davidson, a person who has severe Tourette’s syndrome. It succeeds in hitting the right emotional beats, but more importantly, being informative. My mom also loved it, she gives it a 10/10.
