Simon of the Desert8.0November 3
‘You are wholegive thanks to the lord and go about your business’ ‘Fabiola let’s go home, the garden needs digging we’ll have to buy a new Joe’ This film is so ironically funny and while keeping on track of its nips at religion, also tarentino would love it (if you know you know). Also it is also such a tragic story and I love how chaotic the scene in New York is shot oh my god it is beautiful. Also the rubbish chi is so good I mean the plane swallows them. And finally the highlight is the way that his son skips it is so good. This is a 4 star film would be better if it was longer but I mean we still get the full character arc so no complaints.
Rome, Open City7.3November 3
‘You tried to destroy his soul but only destroyed his soul’ I get that this is a revolutionary movie, and I ok e some aspects such as the difference between the two interveiws of manfredi and don pellegrini which just creates such a interesting Antigonist as he gives a performance similar to christoph waltz with comedic elements, then presses Pelegríni and attempts to pressure his to give up answers really showing his range and the manipulation of the gestapo. I also liked the blocking, and constant use of windows or chain links to wipe how trapped the Italian people were. I also like the way that it uses Beverly little dialogue to start the film meaning that you correctly establish how oppressed the characters in the block feel due to the nazis. However, I really think that you can see that it has been made a long time ago with the editing in the scene where they take down the Nazis under the bridge with the clear cut and repeat meaning that the car just appears in the middle of nowhere out of the blue and it just is a bit lazy the attempts at a quick camera movement also just feel a bit jaunty. The attitude of the children also no not come off as positive with lines such as ‘we shouldn’t trust women’ as well as the fact that the adults treatment just feels outdated. However, it is a very good film and it is so impressive that this was achieved and is a good 3.5 star film and I would say it is a very necessary film In the history of cinema, however overrated it is.
Twin Peaks: The Return9.0November 2
David Bowie really is a space oddity in this😂 Honestly such a slow burning show that really has some comeback. Some negatives really are the continuation of doughiest storyline and some poor writing in terms of his character which means that despite providing some touching and really heartbreaking moments in his attempted murder his character is still looked over and means that i fell out of love for his character- it was such a good idea and I gave the episode with him as the subject a 9.8 but his poor writing and increasing stupidity creates a reverse arc that you want for his character. However there are so much pros and mclachlan really shows such range I mean he plays a serial killer possessed by a demon, by simply changing simple mannerisms such as slipping in speech errors and showing more restraint around those who know him making it feel so unnatural in his plus more confidence in his walk to show the alternate, then we see thr middleman who is now a desperate and sad character due to his disappearance for years and years. Lynch also create such natural comedy through the way that he pans away from the character right as he is going into the other world and cut all the background this just creates such dry pan comedy and I love it especially in this episode when it also zooms out to show all the rest of the characters compared to David lynch. This was probably second best price of two peaks media just behind walk fire with me, with a arguably more tense and shocking ending and brilliant lines such as ‘or do you want the story of the little girl down the lane’. I could talk about his so much more and I think this is a 4.5 star series with a more human approach than other two peaks media due to coopers arc at the end.
Twin Peaks · Part 189.6November 2
‘Is it the story of the little girl who lived down the lane’ What a run, and what a experience. This episode just perfectly shows David lynches view on what he wants from twin peaks with the addition of the scream, combined with the fact he does not show what is whispered to cooper at the end. This allows for your own opinion; I think that Laura palmer was killed by cooper who is creating this vicious loop due to his lack of acceptance towards his act of violence as I think lines like this show it ‘or do you want the story of the little girl from down the lane’ also the fact that this translates from the other world or dimension that cooper sees in elements such as the tree paired with the light bulb and the horse with a blue plate behind it and mention of Judy as well as the fact that the symbols from the ring were turned into an eight and we see a ball lapping round it like the infinity sign. Also this was one of the most tension laidened episodes despite little elements of jump scares it is genuinely terrifying. Such a good ending to some show and franchise.
