Studying documentaries at Uni right now, so Top 4 are my favorite Doc Features
Wake me up when "Forever Howlong" drops
Shadow does an Akira slide UP A FUCKING SKYSCRAPERΒ
I feel no shame in calling this is coolest movie of the year.
Started 2024 with End of Evangelion.
Started 2025 with My Neighbor Totoro.
This seems like a slightly more appropriate way to start the yearβ¦ π
Carmine Falcone is quite easily the coolest name ever conceived. And thatβs a fact that get truer every time they say it.
God, the direction and editing here is really interesting and the stylisation remains the filmβs most memorable aspect for me.
I just wish I could get more emotionally invested in this. On paper, Travis Bickle seems like a fascinating protagonist, but weirdly I struggle to care about Taxi Driver beyond the craftsmanship. It presents interesting ideas in its themes, but as a character study I struggle to really connect with Travis in any meaningful way, which does make it harderβ¦
Obligatory βTotoro when stressed because the world is too muchβ rewatch.
Weirdly though, while I was watching this I was the most productive I have been at assessments (and getting my life together) in a while.
Totoro solves uni struggles CONFIRMED ONCE AGAIN
