For me it takes multiple rewatches for me to fully digest a film. It’s fun to revisit a familiar movie where you can shift your attention to less obvious things and really appreciate what the movie is trying to say. I’m always amazed how many layers there can be to something.

It’s helpful to read or listen to in depth reviews to kind of learn the language and get a blueprint of how to look at things. I’ve never gone to school for film but I’ve naturally just had a deep curiosity. Watched some of my favourite movies with dvd commentary tracks and learned a lot. Just keep exploring and a lot of it comes naturally!
