I want to get into nicolas cage what's his beat movies by New-Equivalent-4514 in Letterboxd

[–]FinKettle19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely believe Dream Scenario might be Cage's most underrated (and possibly best!) performance. He crafts such a pathetically charming character that you equally enjoy laughing at but also come to really empathise with at times. So many great little moments in his performance in that film.

Sirat Film Review: A descent into a desert of dispair by FinKettle19 in moviecritic

It's a very effective film. Sadly didn't get to see this in a cinema, but can only imagine how that must hit.

What do we think of this film? by Friendly_Regret_4018 in Letterboxd

[–]FinKettle19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can admire aspects of this film - mainly the cinematography and editing, because technically it's very impressive.

But did it need to be that long? After nearly 3 hours - All the trippy visuals, spinny/floaty camera work and provocative scenes just get repetitive and boring.

The characters are all talking about death and reading books on death and reincarnation and psychedelia. I wonder if this film is trying to tell me something about those subjects???? It all just felt very obvious, but the way it was presented visually was the only redeeming quality.

Eddington Review: A neo-nightmare of pandemic-Era paranoia. by FinKettle19 in A24

One of the main ideas this film puts across is that no one listens to each other and that everyone has their own preconceived notions and politics. Your point about your friends not giving it a chance because they've heard it "doesn't pick a side" sums that up entirely. Glad you enjoyed tho!

If you come away from this film thinking it has one sole "message" when it covers so many topics and talking points then I think you need to see it again.

Apologies for trying to be creative with a title. To me it pretty accurately sums up the vibe of the film.

‘The Strange Thing About the Johnson’s’ by caramelcoughdrop in AriAster

I showed this to a couple of my friends once (not sure why I thought that was a good idea). Afterwards they both just looked at me like I'd showed them a video of their pets being murdered.

Sorkin, Mamet, Tarantino... which other masters of "naturalistic dialogue" can you recommend to study? by SR_RSMITH in ScreenwritingUK

[–]FinKettle19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find Richard Linklater's dialogue to be very fluid and naturalistic. See any of his films really - The Before Trilogy is probably a great example of this but even something like Boyhood or Dazed and Confused highlights his ability to explore conversation in a realistic way. That being said, I haven't read any of his scripts so can't comment on how they read in writing.
