The Irishman (2019)
Arrogance of Ego
They've been on top so long they got to the point where they think they know what they're doing and don't listen to everyone else.
Scorsese made almost every mistake entry level filmmaker makes. Voiceovers, too long, so much exposition, flashbacks, etc, etc. The worst mistake, BORING He is so arrogant that he says other movies aren't cinema and his are because more people watch them because they're more entertaining than his. His movies first became popular because they were new and different. This just shows how he's now the old guard and out of touch, being replaced by the next generation of new and different.
It was unwatchable, but I slogged through to give it a fair chance. I wanted to stop earlier and if I knew what I do after watching it, I should have, or just never watched it in the first place.
It's one of those films that people feel compelled to say that it must be good because Scorsese made it and it has these famous actors in it. The pressure from elitists to treat someone who doesn't enjoy it must not know what they're talking about.
If you want to watch it for nostalgia, go for it. Have a different opinion, I don't care. Because like mine, they're just opinions and they're personal. To each their own. Carry on.
Nathan's Kingdom (2020)
This movie takes you on a fantastical journey.
Yes, some journeys take their time. It's refreshing. It allows the movie and us to breath. Not a crazy rush rush super hero cut cut action flick. I am surprised at some of the amazing visuals; that car with the invisible creature... and how crazy is that shot of towers to the clouds of people climbing over each other? The stylistic cut out animation? Maybe I just love creative things and using your imagination to travel to other worlds more than others.
I did a little research after watching this film and I think it's amazing that they found and hired an autistic actor to play the role of someone who is autistic. So many unique things about this movie that makes me appreciate it more and more.
