American History X (1998)
Wow.
I have never seen a movie with a realistic encapsulation of complex human behaviour like this one has. Things flow naturally: we get scenes with deep conversation and basic human interaction, but the second something happens, it's sudden and straight in your face. There is never much of a build-up, but it manages to make it work. 'Show, don't tell' is utilized in subtle body language, which bring a much deeper meaning to certain scenes. I also like the close-up shots for a more dramatic effect, and the unique directing style is very refreshing. The beginning hooks you straight in.
What I first thought to be just another generic movie turned out to be one I'll remember for life. I am in love with this movie.
Shutter Island (2010)
A Movie You'll Never Forget
Quick review:
+ Perfect craziness/thrill build-up
+ Room for the audience to speculate
+ Nice tempo
+ Cinematography/colour grading
+ Acting/Cast
+ Rewatchability
+ No time wasted
All in all, I wouldn't change anything about this movie.
Chung Hing sam lam (1994)
Not very western-friendly
Quick review:
+ Prologue/Introduction
+ Nice use of colours and camera angles
+ Comedy
+ Very unique in almost every aspect
- Weird/unlogical characters/story
- Barely any story (didn't progress much)
- Bit boring to keep actively watching because of the point above.
