I remember back in college I had a film study class and one of the assignments was to dissect my favorite movie. The Fall is no longer my favorite movie :/
You can enjoy a movie and then when you actually think about it, it can turn into complete trash. Also vice versa
I can't really comprehend this personally. If I like a movie enough for it to be my favourite then chances are I've already spent a lot of time thinking about it, otherwise it wouldn't be my favourite.
Most of the time it's contextual. It's not the film itself most people remember, but what they felt while watching it, so if it felt special to them in that moment, they will remember it as a great movie, but if they then try to recall it in the future, it won't feel the same since it lacks all the "magic".
Well rip to them but I'm different I guess lol, if a movie is my favourite it's because I've watched it multiple times by the time I decide it's my favourite.
Same hapenned to me when i rewatched There will be blood. At the rewatch it isnt at all how i remember it, it turned out it was just about some asshole that worked his ass off to become a richer and bigger ashole. And also religion or something.
What’d you think the first time?
The first time through you don't quite know where the film is going, and it's an incredibly gorgeous, technically precise journey with a good enough payoff to leave your heart beating at the end of the movie.
The second time through the narrative just doesn't have the same impact, and you notice that it's kind of pretentious and self indulgent and drones on a bit.
I was very young when i watched it first, for some reason i got the idea that it was about how rutless capitalism destroys peoples lifes and that in practice is more easely exploited by ruthless assholes that think only about themselves and take andvantage of other people. I really didnt got the whole religion vs capitalism thing the first time i watched it, i just thought it was presented as a way to manipulate people and be on their good side even if you have a body in the bag like the protag already does.
NHL, assumed based on memes there would be a lot of milkshakes
