Train Dreams

First of all, I have to say that I’m so mad and furious that this movie didn’t win Best Cinematography. Like, what do you mean Sinners was more beautiful or better captured than this film? This movie is heavenly. It’s so stunningly shot, you don’t feel like they used any artificial lighting at all, and that the only source of light seems to come from the sun. It was breathtaking, and I’m so pissed it didn’t win. Anyway, this movie was one of the most beautiful and ethereal films I have ever seen. I loved the visual format because it was not just a generic TV format, but a 3:2 format which made this movie feel even more intimate. I felt like a fly on the wall in Robert’s life. I loved how soothing, calm, and authentic the movie felt. It doesn’t feel fake at all; it feels almost like a documentary, like you’re watching real people, not actors. Everything felt so real, every scene, every event in their lives felt natural, not like a scripted screenplay. Overall, the movie is heartbreaking, heartwarming, and comforting. It’s just incredible to witness a man living his life, with everything he went through, so honestly and openly. BTW, Felicity Jones is so gorgeous.
