Indie Sensation (4/10)

  1. The movie's like new robot character Cogman. Desultory, shameless, insane, fascinating.
  2. I think Hirokazu Koreeda has little in common with Asghar Farhadi.
  3. Hirokazu Koreeda's humorous & heartwarming depictions about broken family and immature adults were somewhat routine yet quite adorable.
  4. Yeah '71 version was pretty intriguing, provocative film. All the women in the film were damn sensual yet creepy and especially Geraldin Page was best to me.
  5. Elegant and stirring reminiscence about unusual glory in gloomy age. Clint Eastwood is the master.
  6. La La Land deserves way more attentions and appreciations. But many Korean audiences really love social criticism & sob story like Pandora.
  7. Saw the film. Vincente Minnelli, Jacques Demy, Robert Wise, Stanley Donen and any other master would appreciate the bewitching beauty of it. Entrancing work.
  8. Didn't you know? Wolfgang said whopper was gorgeously delicious.
  9. I don't give a shit and any fucker could be regarded as great filmmaker. Coen brothers's favorite filmmaker is Adrian Lyne. Even some "greatest" filmmakers are not sacred cows. Bergman thought Antonioni & Godard just sucked ass. It's not about right and wrong. Art asks whether you agree or disagree. That's it.
  10. First of all, making "all time classics" is not the only way to prove someone's filmmaking talent. And what's the absolute standard of all time classics? Is there an irrefutable criteria for judgment? I've seen bunch of people who think Bay's films like Armageddon & Bad Boys etc are timeless classics. Some of them are just average Joe, but some of 'em are passionate moviegoers and even filmmakers. So are their opinions relevant? Or not? You talk like you're enumerating some objective facts like "water is wet." But actually it's just opinion. Even "The Rock is a cool action movie" is not a factual account of events. It's just subjective view which I agree with. I know Bay is not a favorite figure to many moviegoers and critics. But nobody has to follow critical consensus and I think it's one of the great thing about art. I think some opinions which take for granted that he's an just awful & negligible figure are pretty ridiculous.
  11. I don't know. Maybe some people genuinely appreciate the films and I wouldn't call them being ironic or hipsters. And Bay has made 12 feature films besides Pearl Harbor and ROTF for over twenty years.
