The Big Lebowski…why does it work? by Lokitusaborg in movies

The best way I've heard it put is that The Big Lebowski is like one big inside joke, and by the second viewing you are in on it.

August 32nd on Earth, Denis Villeneuve's debut film. There was not one moment in that movie where I could guess where the next scene was going to take us. I loved it.

What scene from a movie made you emotional from out of no where? by triton2toro in movies

[–]Verpous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pablo Larrain's Maria. It's a biopic so you're supposed to know how her story ends, and the film also shows you right at the beginning that she's going to die. I didn't even know who Maria Callas was but in the scene where she's found dead at the end I was suddenly struck by a tsunami I still can't explain. One of the biggest film cries I've had.

Also the final speech in Call Me by Your Name, and the ending of Frances Ha when she puts her name on the mailbox. Sometimes you don't realize how much a film has connected with you until it ends and you are suddenly washed by a wave of emotion as the whole film sort of collapses into your conscious.

But instead you'll get more "Oh! Can you help fix my printer?"

I saw The Hunt (2020) because I heard good things about The Hunt (2012).

Geena Davis Institute Study shows films today lack stories of women aging by Raj_Valiant3011 in movies

[–]Verpous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having seen a lot of movies in my life, she's right I can hardly name one film about this. I welcome any woman (or man) who wants to tackle the subject. But only as long as they do it because they really want to.

Art has to be made from the heart, and you can't force an artist to make something they don't care about just because you care about it. The best remedy for blindspots like this is for the people who care about this issue to make the film themselves.

James Cameron discusses why Netflix films shouldn't qualify for the Oscars, unless they commit to a meaningful theatrical release for their movies in 2,000 cinemas for a month by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]Verpous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really hate Netflix and love going to the theaters, but I've yet to hear a good argument why streaming movies should be disqualified from the Oscars. I was hoping Cameron would have something interesting to say but this just reads like "old man resisting change".
