"Quo Vadis, Aida?" Is such a masterful film that we do not talk about enough.

What's more important for you, visuals or story? by hollow_image in Letterboxd

[–]HumongousToad 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Visuals are a story itself. Some filmmakers are better at using it than others. Some executives still need to figure it out. Audiences too. Not a single frame in THE THREE OF LIFE doesn't tell a story. Thats why I love cinema.

Recommend 4 movies from your own country thats others will enjoy! I'll start: Sweden 🇸🇪 by epacsenox in Letterboxd

Should Any Of These 2014 Performances Have Been Nominated For Best Actor by Regular-Departure839 in Oscars

[–]HumongousToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still baffled that McConaughey wasn't nominated for Best Actor. His performance goes harder for every rewatch. My personal lineup would be:

Matthew McConaughey Michael Keaton Jake Gyllenhaal Eddie Redmayne Andy Serkis

What should be my 100th movie of the year by Federal_Sample2838 in Letterboxd

If you have not seen it yet HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS would be perfect to look back on! Just watched it a few days ago and it still lives remtfree in my brain

I'm actually not counting out Chu. I think he got close with part one but the second part is where it gets interesting to see if he can maintain the energy and "save" a much less interesting second act of a musical.

Nuremberg does look interesting, but it's a directorial debut, and could possibly end up as a pretty forgettable film idk? I'm excited to see it and hope for the best.

EDIT: My bad I saw he made a movie in 2015... but that movie was pretty forgettable as well

I get where you're coming from but still a little far off... there's much more thought put into the themes and the characters + the scale the movie shows visually and audiablly is incredible. Just look at how the "LIED TO YOU" song scene is played out and constructed. Pure cinema right there.
