  Amarcord 1973

  ★★★★½ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  The entire town is down bad for like 5 women and 3 feminine statues… 

  Whimsical, nostalgic and fun. Like everyone else says.

  The Motorcycle Diaries 2004

  ★★★★½ Watched 03 Mar 2025

  Does a great job of showing without telling.

  You know the eventual history of Che — where he eventually ends up. 

  This movie doesn’t make that overt. So many historical movies include the “seed idea”  moment.
  Where the audience sees the character wrestle with a decision, yet knows the outcome of the decision of the main character because the audience knows the story.

  I’ve always disliked those moments (I.e. see Bohemian Rhapsody’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”  recording sessions), and this doesn’t do…

  Soooo… The point of the film is that Gene Hackman’s character is the worst cop ever? 

  Dude is the most obvious Narc I’ve ever seen. Can’t tail a suspect for SHIT!
