ONE OF THOSE MOVIES YOU WATCH NOT EXPECTING AND TURNS OUT INCREDIBLE!!!!
7 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Blindfold test: Who's the director? Can't be Marten Scorsese however its VERY inspired by him with the long shots and his signature framing. The coloring is nice. Spike Jonze?....ehhh it's too good. Too tight. Many directors I guessed because I missed the credits but remembered reading the book so put it on hoping it to be at least a time killer.

NOPE. Turns out this thing is exceptionally made. Yes the directing is top notch, and yes I was appalled to learn it was directed by the Russo Brothers showing their biggest range yet, the talent was spectacular but I found the editing to be the one that cut it perfectly. Just perfotectly and im not so sure it would have worked with a different editor that saw this story very differently in their mind clearly, and produced it. Again making an air tight movie that has you captivated or has all of your attention the entire time.

Tom Holland has another great performance so I feel mixed saying this but this is his best performance yet, by far!

It's a movie that does not glorify war and in fact actually depicts the truth about war with such perfect words and depictions. Its interesting for a film that probably only spends twenty mintues to war and it may be the best depiction of the truth shot and written.

Anyway, it's fun at times, very sad most of the times but I think many people will relate to some of the issues present in this for e.g They got the addiction right with couples because I've seen it first hand with a best friend and her boyfriend.

I thought the movie was bold and tackled many problems and provided people with insight and hopefully a new perspective of particular things.

Masterpiece in my opinion but again maybe it's because I know how honest to life thie movie is. FYI obviously way better than book.
