Something from Tiffany's (2022)
Likes and dislikes
LIKED:
- beautiful shots of New York City
- simple but clever storyline
- the dynamic of the relationship was built out well and felt believable (invested in each other's successes, she inspires him with her wisdom, she's great with his daughter, they get each other, he appreciates her cooking whereas her boyfriend complains about her messes)
- a few great, emotionally connected scenes (when she bakes bread with his daughter and they have a heart to heart, when they listen to the street performers on their unofficial date, and the end kiss scene and proposal)
- planting and payoffs: I liked how they used the street performers at the half way point, then used them at the end when he proposes.
DISLIKED:
- some of the dialogue was painfully awkward, usually due to awkward pacing / beats
- the end kiss scene felt cut short emotionally, like we finally reach the climax and it was great, but it felt a bit abrupt for some reason. Perhaps they could have spent a little more time here when they finally meet up. (however, the restaurant scene immediately following makes up for it and helps it feel more fully resolved.)
- something about it didn't feel fully developed, can't put my finger on it, but the connection you feel to the main characters is only so-so, very surface level.
Hector and the Search for Happiness (2014)
A funky movie with lots of heart in it
Liked the romance, adventure, character arch, and the good message about having to feel all of the sad and risky feelings in order to feel love. Great message on vulnerability, courage, and what it means to truly love someone.
Captain Fantastic (2016)
Propaganda Piece - You'll love this movie if you hate America
You'll love this movie if you support Marxism, communism, socialism, or if you're just absolutely oblivious to the anti-american, anti-freedom movements taking place. *BUT if you're like most Americans and are actually paying attention, you will catch on immediately to the ludicrous propaganda piece that this movie is. The theatrical release image used for the original poster even has an entirely red American flag in the background, with a raised socialist fist at the top right of the poster. Probably just an 'artistic choice' to go with 'communist red' for the entire flag, right?
Oh and for those who skipped history class, socialism is the ideology that's claimed more lives than ALL of the other 'isms' combined. Shining examples are the Soviet Union, China, Cambodia etc.
