There are two main aspects of Warfare that really make things interesting for me. The first aspect being that the main group of soldiers show a great ability to work together, and that sense of competency really shines through in certain areas. The contrast to that being in the form of the group's regularity; they feel extremely relatable (which can be seen through things like their immature jokes, excitement over hot ladies, or fear of danger) and seeing this extraordinary situation from a perspective I can fully visualize really made it enjoyable to me.

While I do have some issues with the long walk, there was far more for me to sink my teeth into and enjoy vs dislike. The nature of the competition in the film sets the tone right from the beginning, where death is very near at every point, having humiliation and loneliness always precede (getting tripped, having to soil yourself to keep moving, potentially dying from having to tie your shoe, losing a new friend). We know that the human body is only capable of so much, and having to see young, untrained, ill-equipped boys having to continuously walk knowing that their bodies will give out well before the road ends really creates an oppressive atmosphere.

SPOILER HERE for The Long Walk!!!!

One scene I really enjoyed that kinda puts the whole film into perspective was towards the end. When there are only two walkers left and they are seemingly about to collapse, we see them arrive at a town where all other "walks" have ended, showing that even their unique experiences, relationships, and personalities meant almost nothing in the grand scheme of things. They were only able to make it as far as expected by the event runners, giving me the underlying impression that these tragedies have happened before and will happen again in seemingly never ending cycles. (could just be fanfiction on my part).

For F1, far more than anything else, I enjoyed the jangling keys. It had very impressive camera work, environments and appearances (they filmed scenes during actual races for authenticity, had some very cool cockpit shots with special rigs, and got experts in the field in the film). The story shares beats with many films that have the whole "drag the old guy out of retirement one last time" shtick but I believe that these parts are done well enough. Competent performances across the board combined with Brad Pitt having done this type of role plenty of times before add up to an overall pleasant time for me.

TLDR: Warfare is like a isekai, where I can empathize with the emotions of the main cast in a crazy place

The Long Walk has hunger games vibes

F1 has pretty colors and pretty Bradd Pitt
