Dune: Part Two (2024)
Denis cares...
As a book reader, there are many changes. Some I love, some I wish were handled differently (Mentats, Pauls water of life scene)but at the end of the day we are lucky we got 6hrs to tell this complex story. The true essence and soul of Dune is dripping with every frame, every gesture, every character beat and moment. Add the insane rich sound design and score, all I can think of while watching was the word Transcendent.
The first frame of the movie after the title card is baby Alia in the womb. Thats when I knew we werent ready for whats to come. Denis is a madman.
Literally every actor shines in this movie. On second viewing, Javier Bardem as Stilgar really stuck with me more. He is so authentic and unapologetic. Funny but also strong and a true leader. Zendaya as Chani really surprised me as well. Ive watched Euphoria, I know shes good but, she really brought it (also I love her graceful fighting style) she's such a warrior. And obviously, Timmy as Muad'Dib. Theres nothing I can really say that can encapsulate his commitment and true dedication in brining Paul to life. The speech he gives near the end is probably the most bone chilling, riveting scene ive ever witnessed. Cementing this film as an awe inspiring love letter to Frank Herberts words.
Song to Song (2017)
Weightless
I'm not gonna go into the actual plot of the film itself and its intricate nature; ill let you Experience the journey yourself, but I will say, if you're a Malick fan, you will appreciate it more. Unfolding in pure stream of consciousnesses form, I was left entranced by what I was seeing on screen. Jarring, hypnotic, sexy. These people are all but familiar, you feel with them throughout their human experience, love, greed, betrayal, self pity. and their search for "Meaning", and i put meaning in quotations for a reason. It pulsates with authenticity. As I walked out of the theater the film was washed over me, I became more in tune to the images and sounds of my reality. Reveling in the power of the now. Malicks unique film language and the way he crafts the interconnectedness of time is so refreshing and interesting. Thank you Terrence Malick.
The OA (2016)
Do you have the Will?
How do I begin to review this experience. I have been a fan of Brit and Zals work since the beginning, but I feel like "The OA" is there most profound and personal work they have ever done. With precise attention to detail every frame sucks you into this deep mystery into the self. The acting, the cinematography, the music, and the writing all come together for an authentic weird experience. I cant stop thinking about it, it is still deeply ingrained into my mind. I highly recommend this show even if you're just a casual Netflix viewer and more so if you're into filmmaking because this isn't a regular TV show it is more like a 7 hour movie split into chapters. Open your mind and let the experience wash over you.
