Oppenheimer (2023)
Exclusion from Nolan's latest film (one perspective on Nolan's R-rating).
Christopher Nolan used to be able to be counted on for delivering high quality, thought provoking, educated films that never ventured into the explicit (be it sex, nudity, or language). The majority of his previous films were standards of excellence, always looked forward to, and never required audiences to worry about what content they were about to see. I think many Hollywood professionals underestimate the amount of viewers who filter entertainment they see by their individual moral codes and consciences. Great storytelling (especially in writing) should be able to be portrayed without relying on the explicit. Would have loved to have been a Oppenheimer fan, but unfortunately Nolan has excluded viewers like myself from his latest film.
Simmer (2020)
Great Film, Current Issues
Saw this film during it's 2-week release stream. Engaging plot, well written script, fresh film. Definitely worth seeing.
Joker (2019)
Joker
Throughout my conversations, I believe that those who walked away from the film thinking the movie was about the Joker missed the point - and largely left unsatisfied. In my mind, this was one of the most brutal and unforgiving depictions of desperation and utter loneliness, and how society can alter or advance this emotional desperateness. With that mindset, I believe Joker to be a masterpiece. 10/10
