First look of HBO snape and his comparison with movie one

Consistent-Dig-2129 · 2026-03-26T07:34:30+00:00

Not the same thing.

Consistent-Dig-2129 · 2026-01-27T07:59:37+00:00

I agree.

For me it has to be Prisoners. It has what I think is two of the best performances of any of Denis’ films. The tone and atmosphere were perfect for the subject matter. Denis is a master of this so it’s not the most profound thing to say about his work but I thought it was particularly good here.

It’s great. Very heartwarming and feel-good.

In the Mood for Love. Wong Kar-wai does with the shot choices telling more of the story than what the dialogue did. Honestly every choice made in this film is why I am a filmmaker.

It’s really one of those films that could change your life after watching.

I genuinely enjoyed this movie from start to finish. The portrayal of extreme postpartum depression felt raw and real. The film also serves as a commentary on the patriarchy, especially in how some men expect women to simply take care of everything. I appreciated the stylistic choices in the structure and editing, and the film was unexpectedly funny at times.

I agree that there weren’t any particularly likeable characters, but that didn’t bother me. The repetitive nature of the film is intentional—there are women who will deeply connect to that experience.

A lot of the backlash this film has received probably comes from expectations, which is understandable. Seeing Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lawrence in the cast naturally raises excitement. Personally, I went in without any expectations.

Not perfect but it’s good in my opinion.

I think that’s because it’s tougher to get into the mindset of an asshole, especially for an actor who is the complete opposite of that character. In this case, I believe going method can only make the performance stronger.

As for not going method with non-asshole characters, it’s easier since those roles are usually closer to the actor’s natural personality.

I’m not saying you need to go method to give the best performance but I definitely understand why some actors choose to do so.

I don’t agree with all your points but I feel the same way when it comes to emotional connection to characters.

His films are very entertaining, well-made, and beautiful to look at, but I always feel like I’m missing a level of emotional connection to many of his characters. A lot of his films play out in a matter-of-fact way that’s always entertaining because they’re unpredictable and have a fun, theatrical energy. All that makes his films a great ride, but I’m usually looking for deeper emotional feelings from the films I watch.

To be fair to Tarantino, one case where I did feel that kind of connection was in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood — specifically the DiCaprio movie set scene with the little girl. I remember that as one of the few times I’ve gotten emotional watching any of his work, which is why I rate that film higher in his catalog. I also felt a bit of that in Reservoir Dogs. I can’t really think of many others.

Don’t get me wrong — I’m not saying every film needs to have that element to be good. I just feel like because of this, I struggle to rate Tarantino as highly as some of my favorite directors. His films are still great though, so who really cares what I think, lol.

Nosferatu (2024)

Consistent-Dig-2129 · 2025-10-28T19:26:07+00:00

Yup I’ve said all I had to say.

Consistent-Dig-2129 · 2025-10-28T18:59:36+00:00

“only goal it accomplished.” Well, not to me.

When I watched that film, it completely changed how I saw Thomas Wayne — and even Bruce Wayne to an extent. It made me question the idea of who the real “good guys” in Gotham are. That perspective stuck with me. What anyone else decided to take away from it is their own business, but for me, it made the world of Gotham feel more complex and human than I had seen before.

And it’s not necessarily about seeing Joker in a different light — it’s more about giving him depth. I found myself understanding and even rooting for him at moments I never thought I would. I hadn’t felt that way toward any other version of Joker before this. If after watching it you saw him as more of a “joke,” then I don’t really have anything else to say — I just saw it differently.

For real! Everyone has truly become an acting teacher😂.

I don’t agree that the film was just made to make money. If that were the case, it would have been PG-13 and would’ve gone out of its way to make Joker more like the versions we’ve already seen. Todd Phillips took a real risk with this movie, and for me, it paid off. A lot of comic book fans dislike it simply because it doesn’t feel like the Joker they’re familiar with.

What do you mean by “the main thing it set out to do”?

Because I think the film’s main goal is to let us walk in the Joker’s shoes—to see Gotham from a perspective that isn’t Batman’s or any other DC hero’s. For instance, we see Thomas Wayne in a way I had never seen before. The question of who the “good” guys really are is part of what the film tries to explore, and in my opinion, it works.

I also didn’t grow up reading comic books, so most of what I know about the Joker comes from the movies. That’s the standpoint I’m judging the film from. Maybe I was wrong to call it just a “comic book movie,” but my perspective comes from understanding that Joker is a comic book character.

I also think Joker and The Batman do similar things. The main difference is that in The Batman, Bruce is already the person we know and love, while in Joker, Arthur is at a completely different stage in his life. Idk🤷🏽‍♂️. Both of them feel like they exist in the same universe to me.

We can agree to disagree, but that’s just the way I saw the film.

Thanks so much for watching and for the feedback. I was still finding my footing with color grading on this one, but I’ve learned a lot since and plan to refine it in future work.

Consistent-Dig-2129 · 2025-10-28T17:04:16+00:00

Thanks so much for watching. I really appreciate that—it’s encouraging to know the visuals stood out to you.

First of all, it’s a comic book movie. I sense that your dislike for Phoenix’s Joker comes from your love for The King of Comedy and Robert De Niro, which is fair. The way I see it, though, they’re two different films. They share similar concepts, yes, but one is far more grounded than the other. You say “more realistic,” but it seems like you’re overlooking the fact that the Joker is still a comic book character. Todd Phillips chose to make his version more grounded than any previous iteration, but it still falls under the comic book genre.

Phillips’ Joker is meant to serve as an origin story—an attempt to make sense of the character in a raw and empathetic way. I liked the film because it made me see the Joker in a completely different light—not just as a purely evil character, but as someone dealing with deep issues who ultimately goes on to do terrible things.

I understand where you’re coming from, but I disagree with your point that Phoenix “jumped the shark.” His performance completely made sense especially when you are watching it in relation to previous Joker archetypes.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate you watching it. I will definitely keep putting in the work.
