The Details
Each week, our Moderators will monitor the posts within the Movies and TV Shows Community and handpick the ones that are believed to stand out under numerous factors: post quality, length, and subject. Over all effort will be considered, and those chosen will be featured in a post just like this with a percentage of the post rewards being distributed as a reward.
There are no entry requirements, and this is not a contest, but simply a roundup intended to provide additional exposure to all of you for your efforts. Just have fun posting in the Movies & TV Shows Community and five or more posts will be chosen frequently.
The movie has such good cinematography from the very start. The camera angles give you a scope of what the actor is looking at. At some point, it makes me nervous because of the camera shot. That’s splendid, though. I’m very impressed with its introduction because it shows what normal, pretty ordinary people will do when they wake up in the morning. Like, they’ll start by reaching out for their smartphone, reading messages, scrolling through their social media accounts endless feeds, playing music, and setting up new to-do lists. A good movie color was applied as well. It heightens the actors' and scenes' thrill. I like the sound effects, especially when the actors are gasping for air. I do not know the actors in the movie, but their acting skills are top-notch and superb. Certainly, Korean actors are giving 100 percent in every role they are asked to play. So, if you are looking for a mystery-suspense movie that involves technological aspects such as hacking, stalking, and data privacy, Then, I would definitely recommend that you watch this.
The film also addresses important themes such as self-identity and the importance of pursuing one's dreams. Miguel fights for his passion for music and faces opposition from his family. But throughout the film, he learns the importance of being true to himself and following his dreams, even if it means challenging others, something we all really need to look at, as we tend to give up what we love when we don't have the support of others.
This is a 2015 movie and I had not watched it so far and it was because I decided to dedicate a whole week to watch movies that were involved with the kitchen, I wanted to light the flame of my love for kitchen and food, so I wanted to watch something impressive, also see Bradley Cooper being the protagonist of this movie is a total Yes! For me, there were already two good reasons to watxh it.
The film is emotionally strong, loss is something we will always empathize with because we have lost someone, but this story is also thoughtful, and manages to convey a deep and meaningful message about dealing with the pain and suffering that a loss causes us. I loved how these themes are explored through Will Smith's interactions with the actors playing love, time and death. Despite being a difficult subject to tackle, the film manages to balance the drama with moments of humor and tenderness that also touches your heart.
Being an episode focused on Ellie, it was expected that Bella Ramsey had much more prominence, to go deeper into her character, to see her with someone she trusts and considers as her best friend; it was necessary to appreciate that, since from her first scene we see her always interacting with adult characters. The work she does is an extension of what has already been shown although just as we saw in the final minutes of the previous episode, this time the despair, sadness and fear is stronger and all that shows us the different emotions that Ellie lived in a reunion and farewell with someone so special to her; in that Bella continues to play a great role in being a teenager with many childish things and that is due to the naivety of her character, also the courage to show her feelings which makes her vulnerable and at the same time feel a lot of passion, anger, sadness; her performance in this part of the story is very good.
The scene that made me fall in love with the series even before watching it was one where Connell says he is very tired and wants to sleep, but he doesn't want to be alone, or something like that was, then Marianne, who is talking to him through Skype I think, tells him to go to sleep and leave the laptop in front of him, that she will be with him during all that time, and so it was, when Connell woke up there was Marianne I think reading or writing, and just smiled at him when she noticed that he had woken up. That scene made me want to watch the miniseries with too much desire and it was the only scene that came to my mind although later I saw other scenes, and that's the way I like to watch the series, thinking about a scene that perfectly shows the essence of the miniseries, because it is palpable the affection they have for each other no matter what and let's say that is the beautiful message that the series gives and with which I stay.
SNOWFALL: What is better than a family that moves weight together?
Everyone that has seen real African-American drug movies knows that there’s a hierarchy of power from the connect to distros, then corner boys to the customer. But these guys have put no effort into building their hierarchy. They make it look like a drug business is like some candy business you can run with a little bit of luck. Just a couple of wannabes with some experience selling weed on the corner. Franklin doesn’t run into any real trouble with the cops, and you don’t see that black profiling working against him. Corner boys tend the corners IN BROAD DAYLIGHT in the middle of busy roads like they’re selling candy. Where’s that real fear of the cops showing up and busting your asses? The meetings at midnight and the coded locations? Like come on.
In this series we see the story of this woman Elizabeth, and what led her to make all those decisions, because her only and greatest ambitious desire was to become the successor of Steve Jobs, in fact many already saw her that way, no matter how much she contributed to the technological world, in my opinion. There were things she said, and it really made sense, you want to achieve great things, revolutionize the world, grow in it, bringing great ideas, making huge changes, both in business or humanity, but at what cost, this is something we can see in this series, all that this woman was willing to do, to achieve, and with her investors, blinded, people with power, who despite everything still continued to support her.
Understanding the context in which it arose, one must also admit that it is a surprisingly progressive film, leaving behind the idea of an innocent and reserved woman as the only one worthy of maintaining a decent relationship with a prince charming, without falling into Bridget Jones's conformist Diary accepts that we are human beings, and as a consequence, it is inevitable that we are made up of a host of flaws, and while some of them are toxic and should be left behind, others are an integral part of who we are.
"The Banshees of Inisherin" is a somewhat strange film that departs from the traditional canons. In general, I like this kind of cinema where directors seem not to pay attention to commercial or other conventions, they are only interested in offering their work as they conceive it, even if it does not enjoy the appreciation of large audiences. It is not easy for me to categorize the film, let's say that it is a dramatic work sprinkled with a very fine black humor, almost imperceptible, but that sneaks into every moment of the plot. At first glance it could be concluded that the plot is a bit weak, there are no big dramatic knots that lead us from the beginning to the denouement. But this could also be one of the merits of the film, since it leaves us with a very particular way of making cinema. One issue that caught my attention is the director's decision to emphasize how negative rural life in small communities can be. Others exalt, perhaps with a romantic vision, the goodness of rural and small environments. But Martin McDonagh is relentless. After watching this film many will question the advantages of living in a small town.
The direction and editing are very good too, as is the narrative rhythm. It's a very emotional film in which the interaction between the characters generates tenderness, laughter, pain, sadness, impotence, even disgust... it's very difficult to watch this film actively and not feel any emotion and I think that's one of the greatest virtues of this movie. Art should make you feel and this film does it. There were scenes that made me breathless, others that gave me chills, at times I felt empathy, compassion, but also joy, I was moved, my vision blurred a couple of times and in the last third of the film I shed tears. You don't have to be going through a situation similar to Charlie's to empathize with him and feel his pain, he really conveys it on the screen and his emotions (and those of the other characters) echo within whoever sees him. A friend told me that the film should include an emotional warning at the beginning because it is actually difficult to digest in some cases and touches on issues that can be sensitive for people who go through situations related to them (depression, obesity, suicide, isolation, loneliness, homosexuality). I agree.
One of the things that has captured my attention the most in the trailers of this movie, are the fantastic armors and martial arts that they have to defend themselves in a war. I found this movie by looking for trailers of medieval series and movies, but not only their armors and fights caught my attention, but also the dangers they will face and their defensive maneuvers in their wall. As always, the Chinese and Koreans surprise us with such fantastic movies for their excellent interpretations and performances, the Chinese warriors are classified by their armor, the ones in black suits are Spearman with shields, the purple ones are archers, the blue ones are the ones that do the most maneuvers, the rest are common helpers and fighters.
Considering that this film was a story about zombies, and that there are a plethora of zombie films all having similar storylines, I expected this film to be yet another one with the cliche zombie story. But when the story started, it wasn't exactly how I had pictured it. For a long time after the film had started, I felt zero enthusiasm as the film started so fast-paced, and not long after, the whole energy seemed to die down as it was there were not many elements that seemed intruiging. And this was the vibe I got for a long time in the film until the introduction of the other protragonist, the neighbor.
Although I understood Namor's desire to protect his people from the surface world, I found it difficult to comprehend his willingness to kill an innocent person to achieve his goal. His rationale was so simplistic that even Shuri called him out on it, deeming his behavior ridiculous. Unfortunately, this choice was made purely for the sake of the plot. The filmmakers seemed to have deemed a story revolving around international intrigue and espionage insufficient to sustain the movie, opting instead to pit two secretive nations against each other. This decision defies logic, as the two nations have much in common and no valid reason to be antagonistic towards each other. They both despise colonizers, so cooperation would be the logical choice. The movie tries to justify this by portraying Namor as an absolutist, but his narrow-mindedness only leads to direct conflict with the only other country above water that would wholeheartedly support his cause.
Congratulations to everyone that was chosen, and thank you to everyone posting in Movies and TV Shows! We look forward to the next report and highlighting even more of you.
