For me, it's blood splatters on the lens. It takes me RIGHT out of the movie. It's sort of a fourth wall break, like it's reminding me that there is a camera there. It makes it way less engaging for me. I'm a big action movie fan, and it's always really disappointing to me when it happens. It's very video-gamey to me. Anyone else have things that frequently pop up in movies that never cease to piss you off? submitted by /u/LankyStrawberry96 [link] [comments]

Wow wow wow wow. I had no idea that one, much less both of the movies were going to go in fascinating directions with time (literally lol) like they did. Arrival is, of course, much more theoretical. I suppose it dabbled more in memory, than time, per se. The idea of being able to perceive language as a non-linear medium is absolutely fascinating to me. And Memento. Wow. That’s probably my favorite Nolan movie I’ve seen up to this point. I figured out pretty early on that the black-and-white colored scenes were moving forward linearly, and the fully colored scenes, backward. So, I guessed they would intersect at some point. But, I could never have guessed they would have met in the way they did. The way the two different timelines were inter-spliced was absolutely brilliant on a first viewing. But that being said, I don’t think it lends itself to an even better second viewing in the way other Nolan films do. My best explanation for that is: because the story is being told backwards, the lead up to the “ending” is REALLY the lead up to the beginning. Whether you agree or disagree with that, I’d love to hear your thoughts. submitted by /u/theRand_alThor [link] [comments]

You never liked them in any film except for one or two? For me, it’s Mark Wahlberg. I really don’t think he’s a good actor at all, everything I’ve seen him in, he’s been terrible, Flight Risk, The Happening, Planet Of The Apes etc. however sometimes he gets typecast in a role that just works for him, and for me, that film is The Departed, he genuinely worked well in that film, and if that was the only film I saw him in, I would think he’s a great actor. submitted by /u/These_Feed_2616 [link] [comments]

We’ve all felt it, that pure cinema magic when seeing a spectacle on the big screen. I’ve been seeing a lot of people talk about cinema fatigue recently. And sadly I’ve felt that at times myself, that the magic spark it once had was gone. So thinking back, might not be that far back, when was the last time you felt that cinema magic? submitted by /u/PaulEdgecomb99 [link] [comments]

I saw an old BMW convertible today that made me think of that 5 lane merge Kimmy does in My Best Friend’s Wedding, which then got me singing Say a Little Prayer For You from the wedding rehearsal dinner party. I love musicals, so these little musical inserts in movies that are distinctly not musicals are great. Which ones stand out to you? submitted by /u/owlandphoenix [link] [comments]

Sometimes it’s not the action, the twist, or the cinematography that sticks—it’s that one line that hits you hard. Could be something emotional, philosophical, or even funny but unexpectedly deep. For me, it was in Good Will Hunting: “You’re not perfect, and let me save you the suspense: this girl you met, she’s not perfect either...” That line just felt real.

I recently rewatched The Grand Budapest Hotel for like the 20th time and i am still mindblown by how many big-name actors were packed into it — Ralph Fiennes, Tilda Swinton, Willem Dafoe, Saoirse Ronan, Adrien Brody, Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, Edward Norton, and more. All this in a movie with just a $25 million budget. My other pick would be Movie 43 even though the actors were pretty much tricked to be on that What movie surprised you the most with its star-studded cast, especially considering the budget or the genre? submitted by /u/udbasil [link] [comments]

There was a movie in Bollywood a couple of years ago called 'Animal' that was commercially successful, but widely panned for having a corrosive effect on the minds of the public by not only being misogynistic, but also pushing a very destructive and toxic idea of what it means to be masculine. I was wondering if there has been a movie that you would say has been corrosive to the minds of the public.
