A24 got a reaction from Smeltington in The Official Thread for the Church of Oscar-winning Director and (soon to be) Sir Christopher Nolan
Not so, IMO. The story is told through Kubrick's eyes (which I think is true for most of his movies). The film is ultimately about ideas, themes, the bigger picture, not plot points or character identification. It isn't about Bowman, the individual. It's a story told on a universal scale. As with Moon-Watcher before him, Dave Bowman represents mankind and where we stand in evolution.

A24 got a reaction from Jurassic Shark in Would watching ‘Superman’ (1978) on the big-screen be so bad, now?
" To give a little more VFX insight on the making of Godzilla, there are 960 visual effects shots through the whole film, and 327 shots specifically of the monster. "
Is that temperance?

A24 got a reaction from Chen G. in Anyone here succumbed to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray?
All this ... for Flash Gordon?! Seems a little disproportionate.

If you want, you can relinquish your personal possessions to the Church Of Nolan.

And I remember it well.
"The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one," he said.
"The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one – but still they come!"

A24 got a reaction from Holko in What is the last Television series you watched?
And so right you are! Episode 6 was pretty, pretty good.
And they got the time period down to the smallest detail:

Very metaphorical! At least, that is, if it's the beginning of a new Lenu.

A24 got a reaction from Holko in What is the last Television series you watched?
5 episodes of My Brilliant Friend Season 2. Three more to go.
KK and Holko are right. I thought episode 4 (island part 1) was the best so far (even bringing back the magic of S1) but episode 5 (island part 2) was almost annoying. That being said, Lila can be quite the bitch (over-the-top so)
But I have a question. Why does the music work so well? Let's be honest, it's all basic harmonies and equally basic rhythms, and yet it's so effective, like the scene where the two girls alter the huge photo of Lila for the new shoe shop. I rarely notice or enjoy the score these days, but with this series, I do.

Same for Eyes Wide Shut, it was only when I tried to watch it through the director's eyes, that I loved the movie. Before that, I didn't gel with the characters, and as a consequence, I felt kinda bored. You can't watch a Kubrick movie the same way you watch Rocky.

I'm not a big fan of MOS myself but I appreciate a new approach to the Supes character. No need to endlessly repeat the age-old conventional one. My biggest beef is the skyscraper destruction scene, not because Supes shouldn't destroy the property of people, but because it was like trying to follow a fast moving bouncy ball that's criss-crossing the room.
