I post video caps of films that I watch with commentary and analysis!
Just trying to do my part to get people to watch more of what’s already out there.
This is not a spoiler free blog but I will be tagging spoilers with #spoilers for anyone who likes that sort of thing.
You can watch my short film here :)
Throughout Amadeus, Miloš Forman chooses to strengthen several shots by means of repetition. In this triptych he shows the film’s main characters, at different points, closing the same door. Normally when this is done in filmed narrative, it’s used as little more than a device to motivate an edit or signal a transition between story beats, but as the door shuts Forman has each actor drift to follow the rapidly shrinking frame. The eye is deprived as the angle of view approaches a vanishing point. It is in this deprivation that our focus intensifies, and in the second before the window is gone, we are allowed an almost confessional glimpse of each individual lowering their mask.

Black Orpheus, Marcel Camus, 1959
It's been awhile since I posted on this blog bc I haven't seen much of note, this movie was a retelling of the greek story Orpheus. It's a little different than the myth, focused more on showing documentary footage of Brazil's carnaval, but it's got all the main elements. And I love a retelling, so to me it was good enough.
The movie itself is a little slow, despite the almost constant music in the background, but I think it's worth watching for the costumes and seeing 1959's Brazil... much different than the Brazil of today, I would imagine. It's also nice to just see a movie that has mostly (or maybe all?) black actors.
This one is free to watch on archive . org, so go check it out while that website still exists!
I know you don't really have to hand it to him but not a lot of other directors would re-release their movie 30 years later and explicitly add a future dick sucking machine... the bravery of george lucas....
The Lord of the Rings, 1978
My Cousin Vinny, Jonathan Lynn, 1992
This movie is super cute, a fun little comedy. I think it's a little heavy handed with the 'southerners are backwards and weird' type jokes, but hey! It was 1992! Marisa Tomei's outfits are impeccable in every moment of the movie. Both her and Joe Pesci give incredibly human performances. It made me feel like Joe Pesci should have been in more serious movies, and wonder why Marisa Tomei wasn't super famous?? She's fantastic!
I would have liked a sequel where a pair of good ol' alabamans go to New York... I dunno, I just think that would have been cute. Alas!
Silence of the Lambs, Jonathan Deme, 1991
This movie is a classic, I guess! I thought it was fun, it was really hard for me to shake off the sense of tension it built up in me, and I had a series of strange and uncomfortable dreams after I watched it. It's a little emptier than I thought, I guess I thought Hannibal would be more of a protagonist, or that Clarice and his' relationship would go a little further... Like he would get into her head somewhere.
The whole thing is a bit raunchy with the sexual stuff. Clarice is constantly being looked at, desired, that part is unavoidable... Hannibal says some really crass things towards her and another woman... but it seems like it's just in order to freak them out. I didn't really feel like he was horny for them.
Anyway, I think this movie is just vibey. It's all about the vibes. And it's made some good vibes! So we'll leave it at that.
Face Off, John Woo, 1997
This movie is.... so weird. I think if you don't like Nicolas Cage's acting, you probably shouldn't watch it. Fundamentally I think this movie was miscast. It's Nic Cage & John Travolta. Cage is totally unhinged and Travolta has this much more subtle way of acting. Then they have to act as each other, having switched faces. Travolta manages it but Cage kind of misses the mark a little.
I've seen some really good body swap shows and movies, so I know it can be done. And I don't think these actors did a bad job... it's just... a little... creepy LMFAOOO.
Anyway if you like action movies, this is a fun one to watch anyway. It's like a good movie to watch with friends and throw popcorn at.
Big Trouble in Little China, John Carpenter, 1986
I really tried to like this film. I wanted to like the wacky hijinks, the cool setting, the characters... but in the end I kind of feel like this movie would have made a better comic. Kurt Russel being an every man out of water really just... didn't work. You never get a sense that he cares about these people or the reason that he's there at all. It's like John Carpenter wanted to make a martial arts movie but had to put some american actors in it because Hollywood? I'm not sure!
One thing I did like about this movie was the costuming and the effects. They were really fun!
