Maybe you just need to see it a few more times for it to make sense?

Re: What movies are you watching?
I’d give that honor to Valerian. I liked Call Me by Your Name but my biggest complaint about was that it WASN’T beautiful enough - visually, that is. The movie is so flat and lifeless in that department. It betrays the material.dimejinky99 wrote:Call me by your name is the most beautiful film I’ve seen all year.

Nah it’s perfect. Lazy hot summer holiday in Italy. It’s gorgeous.
I loved Valerian. Must watch it again.

Re: What movies are you watching?
I mean, yeah, that’s the setting, but I don’t think it was filmed in a particularly evocative or atmospheric way. If it were, I think I might’ve loved it. It’s just a lot of static shots composed and blocked like...well, a lot of arthouse movies. It doesn’t have the visual sensuality and intimacy the material deserves.dimejinky99 wrote:LoathedVermin72 wrote:I’d give that honor to Valerian.

Really? It did all of that for me. The word that keeps coming to me is it transported me. I got all that stuff you were missing and more. Fucking felt that shit man
But at least you watched it. Lot of people I know won’t cos they think it’s gay front and central and that’s all. And it’s really not.

Michael Stuhlbarg’s speech near the end fucking wrecked me. I was bawling in the theater.

I was in floods of tears. Amazing writing and performance. That and the phone call and ending. Felt every second of it

I've actually needed time, thought, and a second viewing with other PT Anderson films, as well. I hated Magnolia the first time I saw it. Then saw am interview with Anderson that tale about totally changed my understanding of the film. Watched it again and adored it.
It's possible that the same could prove true for PT.

I absolutely loved the first two. I have no idea why I haven't seen the third one yet. I'm the worst.

I cried at the end of Toy Story 3, something I rarely do. Loved it.
