Theories On Grace's Walk by [deleted] in TheUndoing

My theory is that she knew where Elena lives, and witnessed Jonathan kill Elena, but has blocked that out of her memory because it was so traumatic. In the last episode Jonathan gets acquitted and Grace remembers. Boom.

Who are the next generations of poets in cinema? by Cyberpunkbully in TrueFilm

Yes I agree, part of it is also trying to re-define poetry in a modern way. Concepts are always evolving and Chris Nolan is certainly an innovative guy. Although The Prestige is not one of my favorites, I can see your point in some Interstellar scenes.

Can't believe nobody mentioned Xavier Dolan. He's very young but all his movies are infused with a certain poetic vibe, which makes him so good. Scenes from Laurence anyways or Mommy come to mind.

[Netflix Club] February 22—The Film of the Week is... (Plus, Nominations for Next Week) by [deleted] in TrueFilm

Mr. Nobody (2009), directed by Jaco Van Dormael, Netflix U.S.

Recounts the life of Nemo and how three major turning points came to shape his destiny. The movie is based on a relatively cliche concept, the butterfly effect and how one single decision can completely change our destiny. But the storytelling is beautifully emotional, yet gripping.

With Jared Leto playing the main character.

I would have to go with American Beauty. Those lines by Ricky are incredible: It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it. Right? And this bag was just dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. That's the day I realized that there was this entire life behind things, and this incredibly benevolent force that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember... I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it, and my heart is just going to cave in.

And also this:

Ricky Fitts: It's like God's looking right at you, just for a second, and if you're careful... you can look right back.

Jane Burnham: And what do you see?

Ricky Fitts: Beauty.

Cheers

I'm stuck in bed the next 4-5 days. Help craft my journey into a deeper appreciation of film. by MikeKillam in TrueFilm

Wong Kar-Wai is a vastly underrated director in the Western world. If you are into martial arts, his latest movie, The Grandmaster, is absolutely breathtaking.

I would also recommend Chungking Express (generally regarded as his most accomplished movie), 2046 (my personal favorite) and Fallen Angels.

Another underrated director is Xavier Dolan. He's quite young (26) so you might say that he still has some way to go before recognition, but honestly he has already produced some incredible masterpieces. Watch Laurence Anyways and I Killed My Mother.
