The Shadow Prince
I don't have much time, but I might post some of mine later.
 
fight club has one of, if not my favorite sound mix of any movie

that thing is lovely to listen to
 
The Little Prince (2015) is a visual spectacle. Flashbacks have a paper diorama look that makes it very visually appealing, and the Aviator's house is one of the best parts because it's colourful compared to the environment around him.

Thanks for reading.
 
The Little Prince (2015) is a cinematography nightmare. everything is visually boring. this works for the beginning because it's supposed to be uninteresting, but even the things that are supposed to look interesting just kinda... blend in together. it all feels very workmanlike

well i never read the book

idk i wanted to like the movie but i just didn't really get the point of it

especially the weird anti-business themes that felt shoved in there, they were really clunky

I recently finished When Marnie Was There. From the poster of that movie I felt like it feels like a love story that seems to be popular these days (namely, love between two girls), but the love story that is portrayed in this movie is different and unexpected. I heard that there is a book that this movie is based on, but it doesn't seem to be all that popular from what I know (there is no TVTropes page for Literature/When Marnie Was There, nor is there a Wikipedia page).

I suppose the blood relationship between Marnie and Anna would have been less obvious in the book since the characters are of the same ethnicity, but in this movie, the fact that Marnie and Anna are related seems to be a lot more obvious in hindsight because the rest of the cast is Japanese, even Marnie's husband.

Thanks for reading.
 
I don't want this to be a "Unpopular opinions - FILM EDITION" thread, but I don't get why Groundhog Day got so popular. I wouldn't call it bad - it's certainly a competent production - but nothing about it is particularly surprising, and a lot of scenes feel rather pointless in the long run. I found a lot of scenes, both comedic and dramatic, to be far too predictable:

When he started learning everything about that first woman at the beginning, I knew almost immediately that he'd then start chasing after his female coworker. When it eventually happened, I knew once again that they wouldn't hook up until the end of the film when everything's wrapped up with a nice bow.

"Be a good person, otherwise you spend your life in a rut" isn't exactly the most compelling message, nor is it a particularly deep one.

tbh this movie is already sold by the fact that the main character is extra-cynic bill murray at his best
 
Atlantis: The Lost Empire was the first movie in the Disney Animated Canon I saw in theaters.

I don't remember a goddamn thing about it.
 
life is beautiful is awesome and everyone should totally watch it.

also i felt "free state of jones" was under-appreciated. sure, the pacing and editing were choppy at times, and the part with knight's great-grandson was ultimately tedious filler. but matthew mcconaughey and gugu mbatha-raw's performances was phenomenal and the historical events it was based on are fascinating.
