Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel. Stunning visuals, hilarious writing, great acting. 10/10 would watch again and again and again.
 
God's not dead


was actually a very nice movie, brought up a lot of points for god vs science too, quite an interesting movie.

i thought it was kinda dumb how they had the entire class but one or two people be won over to his side in the end. it kind of broke my suspension of disbelief because up until that point the movie had been quite good about portraying the other side fairly

i also found it dumb how josh's girlfriend was the only character with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. like, even the businessman guy (you know, the one who dumped his girlfriend because she had cancer) at least went to visit his mom (even though he didn't think it would do any good)

and i was (pleasantly) surprised that the islamic dad was portrayed sympathetically. i think he was the most sympathetic character in the movie, even more so than radisson.

yeah the class thing was good for the most part, but wasnt too sure about the last part of it as everyone jumped for joy except a few, i mean i guess for me it was pretty inspiring that a class of kids in this age whom normally dont give a rats ass about god in anyway or form, suddenly rise up to say that.

and yes the girlfriend was just a total bitch throughout the entire movie, glad she was gone early however, as i really could not stand her at all.

well i think the whole emotions in the movie were pretty good, the girl with cancer was pretty emotional and kinda depressing. Sure i dont fear death because i know im going to a better place, but for a person that doesnt think there is an afterlife to begin with suddenly go through the pain of cancer and eventually dying, that would be horribly sadening.

regardless though, even with a few flaws the movie was rather impressive, as it was a bit different for me since most christian movies are more about the history of the bible rather then focusing on modern times and the lack of god in so many people.
