    Paris, Texas 1984

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 04 Aug 2022

    Hit like a truck. Left feeling broken. But to Wim, and to the whole crew, this story couldn’t have been in better hands. I can’t quite find the words or energy to write a review at this time. But, in a couple of words, it’s just.. beautifully haunting. We’re imperfect humans, and make mistakes — we wish we could be better sometimes but fail to make the change to become better. You can’t change the past, but you can change the future. A lovely reminder ‘’Paris, Texas’’ presents us.

    Ian Donnelly: If you immerse yourself into a foreign language, then you can actually rewire your brain.

    Louise Banks: Yeah, the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. It's the theory that the language you speak determines how you think and...

    Ian Donnelly: It affects how you see everything.

    Have you ever thought about that? How limited we, you and I, truly see the world. Do definitions and words give us an understanding of something? No. Not compared to something like the aliens in Arrival.…

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    “Soooo the reason I cheated on you was because you were busy being successful and while I chose to be a stay at home dad, and knew you’d be busy all the time, I went to go shag some other bird, but, oops, lol, I guess I can change myself now since nothings gonna change with YOU, and I’ve stopped seeing her and I feel bad for not shagging you… anyways let’s cue the happy music.”

    ★ Watched 01 Oct 2022 2

    The best way to describe this film is to imagine if each individual scene had a different director directing it; with a script written the day before; and the intention of never releasing it.

    It's a bland, pretentious and poorly made film with the cinematography being the only highlight for its nearly three-hour runtime. It's not just the forgettable performances to exaggerated over-the-top directing, but the story at its core is a mess, it misleads the audience entirely. Showing no…

  • After Hours

    After Hours 1985

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 03 May 2022 1

    Perhaps Scorsese’s most entertaining movie. Its re-watchability makes it worth while and I can see myself enjoying more with each re-watch. 

    Very much similar to films such as The Trial (1962) & Wake in Fright (1971), After Hours takes a contemporary and seemingly simplistic approach to the nightmarish, Kafkaesque world that we see. But, on second viewing it seemed a lot deeper.
