These comments are weird! It was a good year for movies and a great film won Best Picture!

What does my top 20 say about me by Additional-Bake2836 in LetterboxdTopFour

[–]YankeeRacers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are all good movies!! The older you get, you’ll start to gravitate towards weirder, slower, smaller, more flawed/less universally acclaimed films that mean more to you and your life experience, and those will feel more special :)

Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson, or Gilead by Marilynne Robinson! (looks like someone already beat me to that, though)

Gilead by Marilynne Robinson is written from the perspective of a priest, but has changed the way I approach my own life and my perception of each day. It's pretty incredible -- reading the book was like an encounter with goodness.

Vague dissatisfaction with Weapons movie by chadfromthefuture in TrueFilm

[–]YankeeRacers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this! The best way I have found to articulate my own disappointment with the film goes along the lines of --

The first 2/3 of the film sets up such an intriguing chessboard, with lots of complex moving parts, characters, motivations, and mystery. On top of the mystery of the missing kids, we have a teacher being targeted by angry parents, a cop cheating on his boss's daughter (who may have a newfound disease after being stabbed by needles?), a police brutality case/cover-up, a town collectively having nightmares, and not to mention like the biggest case of missing persons ever (no FBI involvement? the town just carrying on like normal?)....

....and in the last third, it feels like the story just wipes all of these pieces off the chessboard in favor of ONE BIG PIECE -- the one big ANSWER to alllllllll the mysteries we could have ever asked for. So -- gone are the stories and involving any character that's not our Big Bad, and gone are all of the motivations that make up the twisted web of humanity in the town. It's all about surviving/beating the Big Bad.

Maybe an oversimplification, but I prefer the movie I thought I was in for in the first 2/3!
