You Can See Everything is well worth watching

Post image
120 Upvotes

I just saw You Can See Everything and my first reaction is I've never seen anything quite like it. It's 3 hours long, but almost completely engrossing. I promise you, you don't know where it is going. If you're looking for something bashing some rich asshole fraudster, this isn't it. I think most people have a propensity to look for heroes and villains in movies-I wish people luck with that in this movie. No spoilers here, but I hope to discuss this with others who have seen it once it has been out for a while.

The Towering Inferno is worth it. What 70s classic disaster

Post image
80 Upvotes

The Towering Inferno is one of my favorite 1970s classic disaster movies. Irwin Allen did a great and fantastic job producing it. It has stellar cast with great performances: Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Susan Blakely, OJ Simpson, Fred astaire, Jennifer Jones, Richard Chamberlain, Robert Vaughan, and Robert Wagner. The Practical Effects of the Fire was outstanding. Loved it. 8/10.

Discussion Probably one of the most underrated movies ever

Post image
58 Upvotes

Just rewatched this movie for the first time in a couple of years, and man, I forgot how good it is. I watched it countless times as a kid because my parents used to watch it a lot, so it brings back some nostalgia. Honestly, I think this movie is incredibly underrated. I know it’s not historically accurate, but as a movie, I think it’s really good.
The cast is honestly insane, too. Clive Owen, Keira Knightley, Ioan Gruffuff, Mads Mikkelsen, and so many others. The characters are great, and the performances are amazing. It’s just an incredible cast all around.
What do you guys think of it?

"American [noun]" movie titles

7 Upvotes

Many films set in the US use the "American [noun]" construct in their titles:

  • american beauty
  • american psycho 
  • american sniper
  • american underdog
  • american hustle 
  • american horror story
  • american pie
  • american ultra
  • american gangster
  • american splendor
  • american fiction
  • american graffiti 
  • american made
  • american history x

And there are many others. The degree to which the descriptor "American" really adds any meaning or specificity to the title is variable - sometimes it is central to the theme, in other instances it appears to only have aesthetic value within the title itself.

My question is, does this phenomenon exist in the films from other countries? Or is it a uniquely American Phenomenon? If so, where does it come from?

Discussion What's a movie you should love, but don't?

Post image
4 Upvotes

For me it's Into the Spider Verse. I love Spider-Man, I love animated movies, and I love Daniel Pemberton soundtracks, yet for some reason this movie never really clicked with me, and I'm struggling to put my finger on why. It's a good movie, but I guess it comes down to lack of rewatchability. At its core it's mostly a retelling of the typical Spider-Man origin story, but I struggled to really connect with the characters on an emotional level or have them stick in my mind. There's a lot going on in the movie and because it's short it's very fast paced as a way for younger audiences to get into it easier, and as such I find the movie is lacking in terms of having much of an emotional hook, or maybe it's just the pedestal that it's been put on. Best animated movie of all time? I don't see it.

As for my thoughts on its sequel, they're similar but a bit more complicated. I personally prefer it, even if it's not as good.

Which movie is this for you?

J'accuse (2019) L'Affaire Dreyfus makes its way to the big screen under the meticulous direction of Roman Polanski, who takes the liberty of shifting the film's stylistic tone between historical drama, espionage thriller, and courtroom drama, all executed with his trademark, ice-cold elegance

Movies that had a substantial impact on your life

7 Upvotes

I’m curious about movies that people hold close to their hearts. Weather that be they watched during a depressive episode and said movie helped them escape that pain, or they watched a movie during their childhood and it changed who they are and what they wanted to be.

For example:

My mother showed me life is beautiful when I was around 12 years of age and it truly made me realize that no matter how terrible one’s life can get, there is always some form of beauty to be found. This has influenced me in every detail of my life and made me who I am today.

I watched about time during high school during which I was extremely depressed and felt as though my life had no viable meaning. This movie made me realize that everyday is special and we should never taken for granted the small moments in life. That enjoying life is a humans purpose.

The final movie that changed me was watching enteral sunshine of the spotless mind after my first breakup. Before I started this movie I kept wishing I had never met this girl so I wouldn’t have to experience the pain of heartbreak. After I had completed the movie I realized that every relationship has good and bad moments. The special memories created with someone else should never be forgotten, and I would love this girl all over again even if I had to suffer through a breakup because loving someone deeply is always worth the suffering that comes after.

Curious to hear what people have to say! Doesn’t have to be this emotionally deep either!

Recommendation Digger will be a cult classic!

4 Upvotes

This movie marketing is so bad for what it is.

In a few years, it will be a cult classic, mark my words.

I was expecting a total dud based on news, but the movie reminded me of some work of Charlie Kaufman, mainly Synecdoche New York.

If you like weird, artsy, go see this.

John Goodman is incredibly funny, Tom Cruise is captivating and the whole thing just smells of being a cult classic few years down the line.
