Rate The Last Movie You Saw

This was pretty dull until the bear mace scene, started getting quite a bit better thankfully. Don't think the mystery truly sucked me in but Renner and Olsen were good and i loved the setting. The guy who played Pete was good as a slimy pos too, rarely is someone's suffering as satisfying as the scene with him and Renner on the mountain. There was some genuinely great and harrowing scenes like the one two punch of the rape/beating scene followed by the shootout. This is something i know i won't remember, for a one time thing it was a pretty good watch.

Thankfully i think i'm getting more used to Silent films, well Silent drama's i was already fine with comedies. Didn't love this but i think alot of what the film was trying to get across did and my mind didn't wander like it had with these old Silent Films previously. Very glad the majority of the parts were taking by natives if the title card at the beginning is accurate, helped make the film feel more natural than films with very obvious white westerners in these parts; another thing was the way they were dressed everyone was nearly nude (and there actually was nudity which was a big surprise) which is how i'd imagine them to be. Was surprised by this because in John Ford's The Hurricane the characters especially female were as covered up as possible and it took me out of it a little as i just kept thinking they obviously had to do that. Visually it was spectacular, so glad they filmed on an actual tropical island rather than a film set; the film was very beautiful. Alot of it was cleverly filmed too like how the shark was dealt with, if we saw that more clearly it would have probably looked ridiculous but the way it was filmed was believable with it being fast moving and elusive. I'm still not completely there with silents as even though this seemingly did everything right i wasn't fully taken by the story which is why i didn't love it. One of the main things being i was unable to engage with the romance; some of the emotion never came across because i didn't buy into their feelings for each other. Very good anyway i'm enjoying Murnau and definitely ready to check out more of his stuff.

Wasn't feeling this. Looked great the training scenes were fascinating to watch at times especially but that's about it.
