Funny Pages (2022)
The Psychopathology of People
Received as a voting member of Film Independent. The film is quite far fetched but watchable. The theme is regarding a high school boy who had a dream of being a cartoonist, not yet mature enough to understand that high school is essential. It takes place in Princeton, with the unspoken understanding that perhaps one or both of his parents are professors st Princeton who value education. Even his grandfather is a learned man, who watches CSPAN. Robert, the teenager, drops out of high school moves on his own, and tries to forge through on perfecting his craft. He meets a psychologically damaged man who worked for a well-known comic manufacturer as an Assistant Colorist. The film brings them together. Although it just ends once they were for an art lesson. The ending makes minimal sense and leaves this viewer wondering what? Enjoyed film and the characterizations but felt empty at the conclusion.
Aftersun (2022)
Felt like Two Weeks
As a voting member of Film Independent, I am sent links to all the films. I am so disappointed in After Sun. Nothing happened. It was slow as molasses and I am unsure as to how or why it was made. I was looking forward to this film but I was confused as to if the child was a boy or girl. In that they shared a bed with their father for two weeks. The acting was disappointing. At one point the father is "crying" but they don't show his face and he sounds like he is laughing. There were no other emotions demonstrated on the screen. I have never seen a film whereby it felt like they were reading a book out loud and David of any emotion. Very disappointed.
