The Horn (2020)
Kevin's character is well-received, different story
When we talked about the film, it is a different story seen in Sri Lanka. Kevin's character is well-received throughout the film. Initially, illustrating Sri Lankan apprenticeship in a complex way and finally with the sound of the horn, he shows his changes both physically and mentally brilliantly. Also we can see a significant improvement in Tina's act than her day today normal act in teledramas. An excellent Sri Lankan film that spoke the truth about the Buddha's philosophy. Congratulations to one of the best directors in Sri Lanka !!!
Joker (2019)
really well done
So this was well promoted on every social net you could think. So this was told to be the best flick of 2019, So many things were said and so I was afraid it was overhyped.
Let me tell you, not one bit. First of all, happy to see Robert De Niro back in a flick that suits him. No more comedies please Robert. Secondly, the comparing all over the net between Ledger and Phoenix. They are both excellent in their own ways.
The movie itself. Starts off rather as a normal flick, except for opening credits which took me back to the old WB logo's and yellow lettering of the seventies, but quickly turns into a dark movie getting darker and darker and more and more insane. The way it was shot, the score my God, really well done.
And then there's the performance that couldn't beat Ledger. Well, Ledger I do still like as the Joker but what Phoenix did as the sart of the Joker is really really worth the Oscar. The skinny body, the laughter, the sick looks. With De Niro in it it did remind me of Taxi Driver who one person can turn from a desperate person into a mad person.
Towards the end I was thinking, okay, so far 10 out of 10 but are they going to ruin the link towards Batman. They didn't, the last 15 minutes, man, it fits perfectly into the Batman world.
It's been a while I have seen such a flick, and after some Marvel rather boring stuff (Avengers Endgame for example) again I was shown that DC is my thing.
I can go on and on. The impossible mission to beat Ledger, well, the Oscars will proof that it has been done.
