    If they gave feet lover an MCU film I think it’d look a lot like this (non-derogatory)

    He observes black bodies through a very strange lens in this film, I understand the film could be attempting to make plain the dehumanisation of black bodies in this era (not to mention contemporarily), but I feel like the superhero/folktale vibes weren’t really gelling to that end, and the depiction of excessive violence enacted upon black people isn’t “fun,” at all, as he…

    Frankly, Sorkin makes me feel less like Villeneuve, the way I love dialogue.

    Pitt do be having an insanely solid filmography tho.

    A film that renews one’s spirit. 
    A film on acceptance and peace, finding our place in it all, amongst people, and sounds and sights and ourselves. 
    A film about the beauty of hearing and being heard, about seeing and being seen.

    The slide scene moved me in such an unexpected way. What a joy it is to be alive and loved.
    To feel, and to move, and to be moved.
    Our blessings and our shortcomings and our striving for improvement…

    incredibly cinematic, what was seen was more artistic than what was heard. felt like the screenplay was winking at me a bit much too, you got a twitch there buddy? nothing against the performances, but I did feel that the screenwriters thought the jokes were funnier than they were.
