I have never heard of this film



I decided to wait since its one i haven't seen and need to focis on it.

Im watching Jonah Hex, which is a rewatch.

Decides to scroll to the very very bottom of my film list and see what I’ve forgotten about.

This is incredible. Such a perfect parable.
As ever, I’m on the wrong side (…?), I guess, but I like Tracy, and think she definitely deserves to win all along, so all the animosity towards her is a bit bizarre.
Anyway, I guess that’s me missing the point again, but to me this is pretty much a perfect film with a perfect ending. No notes. Funny how I just wrote in Miscellaneous I really wanted to find one, and here we are.

I’ve heard of it. Have it on my list but not prioritising it.

Chloé Zhao's highly regarded debut film, and my first viewing.

I wanted to finish At Play in the Fields of the Lord and ended up in the ER instead. I'm not at all tired so there's a chance yet except I have two hours to go and it's nearly 4:00 a of m. What a confounding conundrum crashing into my conscience.

There are a lot of naked people in this movie...

I hate insomnia. Oh yeah. Last year I had four cases of it, and each time it lasted three months.

I wasn't that big on this one. Tracy is great but everything around her is a bit of a dud, including the tone, Broderick's dumb character, and Chris Klein's bad acting. I've liked all the other Alexander Payne movies I've seen but this one feels like it fell short. And of course Tracy deserves to win...that's part of the problem too.

Rewatch. God, I loved this film. Let’s see if it holds up on a second viewing.

It’s in my Q, but haven’t gotten to it yet. There’s so much stuff to watch, isn’t there & not a huge amount of time?

Absolutely. Yesterday I went through my film list to the very end for the first time in years, and some stuff has lingered there for fifteen years, still unseen. Ah well. We do our best here.

This film is spectacular.

I’m fascinated by how differently people perceive these things. My mother’s reaction to I’m Still Here can be summed up as, ‘So what? This is just like the USSR.’ Then she added, ‘So it’s effectively a documentary. Right.’ I do think she appreciated it, but this is a very different reaction to someone watching this without comparing it to the USSR or thinking, Nothing overly shocking here, nothing to see here.

My best friend has family both in Argentina and Brazil, and she knows and talks a lot about this history. I told her when I first watched this on the big screen that I found the tone and message to be overall optimistic/uplifting, which is rare with this subject matter, and she understood, though many people wouldn’t have.

Its going to be an Alex Garland day..
