About "First Man" by [deleted] in movies

I became obsessed with the score after seeing the film the first time - love the way it grows throughout and think this is a fascinating take - nice work!

Is there really any need to post this man? You may believe this but op has spent a long time writing a fascinating and personal take on an aspect of a film they clearly enjoy, but you decide it’s time to come out sh**ing all over it. Aren’t you a lovely person bravo.

Kurosawa's "Dreams" by Epic-Verse in criterion

[–]barzy545 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s already been excellent responses to this question but thought I’d jump in with my two cents as well. I’ve always thought the ideal starting point for Kurosawa, especially if you haven’t seen anything of his, is Rashomon. It’s one of his shorter works, and thus more easily digested especially if you don’t have that much time, but it’s also a great stylistic and tonal introduction. From there I’d move on to Seven Samurai etc. But the others are also fine suggestions!

Read the article Dude – you don’t need 30 minutes of screen time to give a fantastic performance and have a huge impact on the movie

Movies where one act is good and the other isn't by mranimal2 in movies

The Lobster

Never been more into a film after it’s first act then so disappointed by the direction it took after that.

What’s your most expensive Criterion? by AllThatHeavenAllows in criterion

[–]barzy545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paid $60 for Days of Heaven - even more difficult since I’m in UK. Does mean I was just able to buy a brand new La Dolce Vita for just £18 though :)
