The ones tonight were real winners; check them out when you have a chance. Looking forward to Larceny & Breaking Point the most tomorrow.
Did Daniel Brühl end up winning any awards for his role as Niki Lauda? Of the handful of movies I've seen in the past year or so that was my favourite acting role. He was absolutely brilliant, and as someone who's followed F1 for a long time he did a tremendous job. Really captured Lauda very well.
Oh god yeah, The Wind Rises is staggering. Miyazaki as his most elliptical; some of the deftest handling of the passage of time I've seen done in cinema in ages. You can tell how deliberately storyboarded and conceived this was, in terms of matching of motion and space from shot to shot, extremely sophisticated layering of ideas. Especially by the end, this film is really refreshing and sometimes brave in what it decides not to provide us, narratively and structurally. The animation is second to none of course, and oh my I'm so glad I got to see this subtitles in theaters, because Hideaki Anno's performance is astounding and unique. This is like all my respective favorite things of Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Totoro and Ponyo all mixed together, with a new ruminative element as the backbone.
, we came home from the museum because of the snow instead of staying for the late showing.
That's good to hear I haven't gone to the theatre to see it precisely because I'm worried it will be dubbed.
bad move dudes
AboutLoveTime 7/10:
Frozen is really good. I love the idea of a Disney animated movie centered around the relationship between two siblings as opposed to the typical girl meets boy romance thing. The songs in the first half are really awesome, too. But it doesn't completely come together for me, and I think it's a step or two short of being a bonafide all-time Disney classic.
It's how they handled the Elsa character. The whole thing was set-up from the opening to be this huge tale of redemption for her. And ultimately she fades into the background and becomes just a minor piece. Anna is the heart of the movie and just a delightful character so it makes sense to focus on her more, but I just wish that Elsa had been painted a bit differently. They seemed to spend a lot less time developing her as we rolled along, and I thought something was missing in the final interactions with her sister.
Oh, well. I still LOLd a bunch and had a lot of fun, I really appreciated the switch in the standard Disney formula, and the "Do You Want To Build A Snowman?" sequence in the first act rivals that infamous UP montage for saddest thing I've ever seen in a kid's movie.
Did you see in theatre or via other channels?
No, the original cut was retained, surprisingly. The concession was that it isn't going to open as wide as the distributor (Weinstein Company) had planned.
Yeah The Immigrant is major. Should have kept the "Lowlife" title, but couldn't yeah yeah. Amazingly pleasant to look at. Deft and concise. Dat ending. It's no Two Lovers though. Nothing is Two Lovers.
