After watching the new Spiderman movie, mind-blown that the movie’s director, Destin Daniel Cretton, did THAT and also Short Term 12 - a movie that I really really love. 🤯🤯🤯
the pig scene is a historic moment in cinema and i don't think anyone will ever do something like that again in our lifetime without relying on cgi or ai
The first quarter of The Odyssey is good and only good. Then Samantha Morton as Circe arrives, and the movie stops assembling itself and starts casting a spell. Everything after that is Nolan operating on a different plane entirely.
Her sequence deserves the reputation it will earn. In a year that has been unusually strong for horror, it stands with anything the genre has produced, and it was achieved almost entirely in camera. Morton plays Circe cold, and the coldness is the point. She is not the film's obstacle so much as its mirror. Odysseus survives on cunning, and Circe is the only figure in the picture who is cunning in the same register, which is why she comes closer to unmaking him than any giant or storm. Watching two strategists read each other across a table of food and disarmed weapons is more frightening than any monster, and Nolan knows it. (full review https://t.co/zTiqn9kIuY) #TheOdyssey
