Similar to On The Silver Globe or The House That Jack Built, this film’s theme has much to do with the director himself. Sheer will and determination molds into a marvel that defies fiction. Fitzcarlado achieved the impossible. Herzog did the same. This film is sentimentally perfect. You can feel every emotion through the lens of the camera. This was something historic, a complete outlier in the achievements of cinema. I know there’s a great documentary about how this was…

A very refreshing change of POV for a WWII film. But, just like many others, this is still absolutely terrifying in its own way. It’s easy to forget that many of the people around Hitler were just blindly following him. Obviously that doesn’t make their choices any less despicable. As the film even says; youth isn’t an excuse. To see it from the Nazi’s perspective like this is jaw dropping, completely heartbreaking and disturbing. The things they did to fulfill…

Very typical late 80’s comedy. It’s written and acted surprisingly well, but there’s a lot of random choices throughout I found to be pretty questionable. The basic plot is unique and fun but sometimes it felt like they threw in every single possible gag they could think of. Some land some don’t.

I hate being a hater but I don’t see the hype at all. It feels so pretentious and obnoxious. Like am I really supposed to think this guy is sacrificing his fucking FAMILY for this? The monologues where they go on about how much this means to them or how they’re wallowing about not getting an acting gig just feels so forced and so uninteresting. The setup takes absolutely fucking forever and the pay off isn’t worth. Not to mention…

I had no idea what this was going into it. I barely saw any reviews, it wasn’t my idea to see it, and I never saw a single teaser or trailer for it. I went into it thinking it was purely a rom-com. Now I know Robert Pattinson has a bit of a history of roms taking a twist you would never see coming… Remember Me… but this caught me off guard in a very similar way. Interestingly, it’s hard…
