jehurey 3,227 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Ad Astra is getting good reviews. But, I didn't know this, but the movie is a sci-fi space retelling of Heart of Darkness. Which is what Apocalypse Now was based off of. So, that has immediately piqued my interest. Its a mature space movie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Delita 698 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Watched the movie Midsommar as a huge fan of last years hereditary I felt compelled to watch this. Overall it was quite good, not as good as hereditary but I definitely enjoyed it. but man a lot of it just makes you feel downright uncomfortable. It's actually pretty tame with violence and gore for the most part, it's more disturbing in other ways. jordan peele was right when he said it had some of the most disturbing imagery he's seen in a horror movie. Some of it just made me wonder, they can do this an an R rated theatrical movie? And now I just read he plans on releasing the NC-17 version with 30 more mins that he had to cut to get the R rating.

I never liked batman or the joker, i'm not the biggest fan of superheros but the first trailer was so good I was thinking this could be one of the best movies ever. I don't want to watch the other trailer. Joaquin Phoenix is such a good actor and you could see he's perfect for the role. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Teh_Diplomat 2,054 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Some quotes from an interview with Joaquin Phoenix at the Venice Film Festival. Quote “For me, the attraction to make this film and this character was that we were going to approach it in our own way,” Phoenix explained at the Venice Film Festival. “So for me, I didn’t refer to past interpretations of the character.” Quote According to director Todd Phillips, he and Phoenix met six months prior to shooting to design the character, his look, and his laugh. But it was the actor’s dramatic weight loss—a reported 52 pounds—that really made things click. “The first thing for us was the weight loss—I think that’s really what I started with. And, as it turns out, that then affects your psychology. You start to go mad when you lose that amount of weight in that amount of time,” said Phoenix. “There’s a book that I read about political assassins and would-be assassins that I thought was really interesting, and kind of breaks down the different types of personalities that do those sorts of things.” Quote Another helpful aide in locating the character was Fleck’s journal/joke book, filled with his nihilistic musings on the many absurdities of life. “Very early on in the rehearsal, I was given the journal that he had—his journal and joke diary. And that was really helpful, because I had been there for a couple of weeks and wasn’t sure how I was going to start, and Todd sent this [empty] journal,” he recalled. “I didn’t know what to write, so I asked [Todd] for some suggestions, and after a few days, I ignored his suggestions and suddenly it was coming out. It became a really important part of the discovery of the character at that time.” Quote Phillips says his Joker was influenced by character studies of the ‘70s, including Taxi Driver, The King of Comedy, Serpico, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. But more so than those, the 1928 silent film The Man Who Laughs served as an important inspiration for director and star. Quote And though some may see the damaged Fleck as a “tragic” character, Phoenix begs to differ. “I was interested in the light of Arthur, for lack of a better word,” he said. “It wasn’t just the torment; it was his struggle to find happiness, to feel connected, to find the warmth and love—that’s the part of the character I was interested in and worth exploring.” Gonna be legit Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,227 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Some people are implying that its going to have a disturbing ending, and that some people may interpret the movie as a glamorization of something that is relevant to what is happening today. Quote Variety - A dazzlingly disturbed psycho morality play, one that speaks to the age of incels and mass shooters and no-hope politics, of the kind of hate that emerges from crushed dreams. Quote Robbie Collin , Telegraph review Here is my opinion of Joker: I think it's a very good film and I'm worried someone's going to get killed. Make no mistake, this is a film that is going to stir up trouble – in the consciences of everyone who watches it, and almost certainly in the outside world as well. The dizzy, punch-drunk atmosphere after this morning’s loudly applauded screening at the Venice Film Festival mirrored the mood when Fight Club premiered here 20 years earlier, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
