Fallen Angels

Second viewing,it was really very different from the first.  Since I already knew the story and everything, it was much easier to focus on the film’s visual details and the way it was shot, because it wasn’t as hypnotic as it was the first time, it felt less new, I’d say. So, in the end, you really do need to watch it several times to fully appreciate the beauty of each scene.  Nevertheless, the film and the story seemed really flat and slow to me, unlike the first time, but again, I think that’s because we’re more aware of it since we’re not as mesmerized as we were the first time.  The film is still really great and absolutely magnificent, like nothing I’ve ever seen before.
