Chelovek s kino-apparatom (1929)
An amazing movie experience
A brilliant, captivating and innovative movie that gives us a new perspective of everyday life in 1920s. This window into the cities and the lives of the people of the early 20th century seem much more hectic and closer to our modern lives than I'd expected.
The emotion of the people involved and the life of every scene create an almost coherent story, even though there was none to begin with. Yelizaveta Svilova's editing was truly creative and brought a whole new dimension to the experience. The way she played with the scenes, their sequence and dynamics kept my eyes glued to the screen and made me see the separate frames working together in synergy.
Deserves its place among the greatest films of all time.
The Irishman (2019)
Wasted potential
I have a huge admiration for Scorsese, but this was not to the best of his ability. The pace was slow and it felt like there was too much repetiton and rumination of irrelevant details, while also glancing over the reasoning and motifs for some of (what seemed to be) the crucial points in the story. In my opinion the 3 and the half hours this movie is long is poorly used.
I like the idea of the movie and what it was *trying* to portray, but with so many characters showing up every 20 seconds in the first half of the movie and the general vagueness of what the focus is on in the partucular act, it leaves you with the weird combination of confusion, anticipation and boredom. The ending was sort of anticlimactic, although it fit with the general atmosphere and I particulary appreciated the symbolism in the last scene.
The acting was superb as expected and Robert De Niro never fails to amaze.
Lastly, I loved the experimenting with de-aging cgi contrary to the backlash and I'm excited to see how it developes and improves in the future of filmmaking.
Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019)
Rushed and disappointing
I feel like every GoT episode deserved at least a rating of 4/10 for the mere reason that the music has been incredible from the beginning as it was in this episode (Ramin Djawadi is a genius) and for the acting delivered by the amazing crew.
Everything else: the character and story development, the rushed ending (this season should have had at least double the amount of episodes we got), a very disappointing Night King arc and major plot points left without any explanation make this episode (and the whole season) almost unwhatchable.
