I wanna see Leviticus SOOOO fucking baddd, but the only showings anywhere near my area are at 9pm!!!! My parents dont let me go anywhere, so I can only sneak out and go where I actually want, if i tell them I'm "at the gym" or "been asked to stay back at work"... BUT THEY WONT BELIEVE IT IF IM OUT LATE AT NIGHT!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭

Tenet is widely regarded as a weak movie and a failure, but I would beg to differ.

An artist's greatest death is to grow complacent and repeat what made their previous works great. Now, you might be wondering, "What the heck does this have to do with Tenet?" Well, Christopher Nolan, instead of growing complacent and repeating what worked with Inception and Interstellar, took a risk and made a movie that is an experiment—an experiment that asks the question, "Can a sci-fi movie with an intriguing concept be as gripping if you remove character?" The answer is undeniably no, but it was a risk worth taking and a question worth asking.

If you're not certain Nolan intentionally made the main character a blank slate, he's literally credited as "Protagonist." It has already been stated many times how good this movie is technically, so I won't talk about that.

As for flaws, I wouldn't call the lack of emotion and character a flaw since it was intentional, but the movie has one big flaw: exposition. Nolan nailed exposition in his previous movies, but this one is so much more complex that there was more exposition needed, and unfortunately a lot of it felt awkward.

In conclusion, Tenet is not a movie I enjoyed, but it has made me respect Nolan more than I did before.

7.8/10

I started to (always) prefer watching films alone, whether it is at home or at the cinema. So I was wondering about the reason for this and came to a conclusion. I'm very interested in film analysis and like to pay attention to all kinds of details, making notes in my brain. I watch my favorite films over and over, thinking about different ways on how they can be interpreted. This keeps the films fresh and alive. But when I watch a film with someone I know, this could be a friend or family member, I always worry about what they think of the movie. I then tend to focus on the plot and what scenes will come up next (if I have already seen the movie), I wonder what they will think about this or that upcoming scene, I think about how entertaining the film is for someone else, and when there's a part that's slow-paced or awkward, I tend to feel uncomfortable. As a result, the experience becomes less enjoyable and more superficial, since more plot-focused. Watching a film is something personal and should be treated the same way as reading a book which most people also prefer to do alone. Also, at the end of the movie, there's always this awkward silence, I don't know why, which makes me feel forced to ask how the other person liked the movie. Has anyone else had the same thoughts before? I have no problem watching a film in the cinema by myself with strangers, since I don't talk to them and won't see them again.

I have to say. I’m not generally a fan of any one particular actor but I recently saw:

- The Gray Man
- Fall Guy
- La La Land
- Project Hail Mary

Seen long time back

- Blade Runner 2049
- The Big Short
- Crazy Stupid Love

I have the following on my watch list

- First Man
- Drive

I thought he was great in most of the films but I think La La Land and Project Hail Mary has got to be the reason why I’m compelled to make this post.

It’s been amazing to see his performances across the various genres and how he’s grown as a performer.

I think I’m going to add these to my watchlist:

- The Place Beyond the Pines
- Barbie
- Blue Valentine
- Fracture

If I missed anything let me know.
