    The fact that GRAVITY won Best Director, Editing + Cinematography - the corner stones of filmmaking and not Best Picture was a travesty.

    It’s crazy how forgotten it has become in the years since its release. Especially in the US, with a massive and leggy boxoffice run, Interstellar gets mentioned most of the time from the big space movies of the mid-2010s.

  2. Seriously folks, go and watch Black Is King. Beyoncé worked her ass off for over a year, the story is simple but relatable, the songs are catchy and it‘s a visual powerhouse, both creative and determined from the way it serves the plot/narrative. The best thing that came out of all the bland Disney remakes.

  3. I must say Mission Impossible, Quiet Place and Spider-Verse are the only noteworthy movies that were mentioned. I didn’t care about any of those other movies. I‘m not into Marvel, Incredibles 2 was a disappointment due to high expectations, A Star Is Born left me cold with its basic plot. The less we talk about Bohemian Rhapsody and Fantastic Beats 2 the better.

    Interesting year full of deserved over &under performers. 

     

    Once it became clear that DUNKIRK was going to be a weird, low-scale piece, I thought it would disappoint big time. That it managed what it managed, without 3D, has me more convinced than ever that bid-budget takes on PEARL HARBOR or D-DAY or even BATTLE OF BRITAIN from legitimate filmmakers with "artistic integrity" would make some legitimate dough. 

    Exactly, the numbers in the US were astounding with simply no connection to the source material. I‘m German and if I hadn’t been interested in those kind of things, I would have never known about the evacuation. I wasn’t taught in school, my grandparents never said anything (I bet even they didn’t have a clue). To me, it’s the greatest and most effective war movie ever made. 

  5. I just finished watching the BTS stuff and I have nothing but profound appreciation for the whole team making this movie possible. Every one, from stunt coordinating the insane choreography during the battle/fight scenes, the camera crew doing things with the IMAX heavyweights that’s never been done before, set building department to even the ones making sure all safety measurements are being kept. They all did a tremendous job!

  6. 2012, what a year. It was the first time visiting New York for me after graduating, I still remember all the Brave merch in the Times Square Disney store and the huuuuge promotional ads for TDKR all over Manhattan. Those were the times.

    Thank you for this read, I‘m always anticipating new posts from you in this thread.
