I watched Digger, let’s discuss (No Spoilers)

NO SPOILER TALK PLEASE

This film will divide a lot of people; they will either love it or hate it. Cruise is at his peak here, playing Digger Rockwell, a persuasive, larger-than-life oil tycoon whose drilling in Greenland breaks off a massive iceberg that threatens all of Europe and its his job to save humanity from his negligence.

The cinematography is brilliant, and the runtime is just over two hours. The supporting cast is great, featuring an amusingly bizarre half-dead cat. Critics have slammed it on Rotten Tomatoes with a 50% score, but the audience rating sits higher at 72%.

THE TWIST will send a lot of people to the chiropractor. It’s a risky film that feels like a Wes Anderson movie at times. Once the film finished, I was totally on board with it and liked where it went. It reminded me of the risks Cruise took with Vanilla Sky and Eyes Wide Shut.

Have you watched Digger? I recommend watching it purely to see which side of the fence you land on!

What’s the significance of characters eating cornflakes in action movies?

Notice starting just about 2 decades ago, some action flicks have their characters eating cornflakes in between action scenes. Examples are Resident Evil (2026) and Spiderman. [Edit ‘examples’ isn’t an exhaustive list, if not self-apparent]

What’s the rationale for the choice of food? Why cornflakes? Why not sandwiches or biscuits or bread or instant noodles, if for convenience? And also, other food types are a lot quieter. Also more balanced meals with more nutrients for the bursts of actions.

The box wasn’t seen, so that rules out product placement of a particular brand. But not for the food category.

NB: I like cornflakes, as a snack. Asking as a film buff, and a foodie, trying to wrap my mind around some characters’ food choices in those situations.

One of the best franchises in recent decades.

At least IMO, the Knives Out movies have all been excellent in terms of stories, acting -even if in the last one some people were underused- and settings.

I do hope Johnson continues making at least a couple of these because they always bring some good and smart entertainment.

If other Knives Out movies come out, what actors would you like to see in one? I'd love to see:

- Emma Stone

- Meryl Streep

- Daniel Radcliffe (kind of random but his style suits this type of films)

- Teyana Taylor

- Cate Blanchett

- Viola Davis (as a detective or something)

- Riz Ahmed

The Bird People in China (1998) - A beautiful fantasy film that takes itself seriously, a look into Japanese exoticism about China

A movie that really took me by surprise from Takashi Miike, a director known for his violent, cult classic j horror flicks like Audition and Ichi the Killer. I am a huge j horror fan, but I enjoyed it more than all his other films.

The fantasy genre in the 21st century in Western movies feels like it almost always targets children and young adults. Movies are family friendly blockbusters with simple themes.
To see ideas of mystical lands with unknown wonders with realistic characters and adult humor was refreshing.

The dialogue and pacing of the movie is excellent, not a dull moment. The plot is simple, but characters react to each other in funny and realistic ways. They feel like real people despite little details being given about their background. The film does not deal with its lore in a ham fisted, forced way as many fantasy films do sometimes.

Visually, the film is fantastic. Shot on location in Yunnan China, Miike was trying to recreate as closely as possible the dream world created in the book the movie was based on.
Miike was given the budget for this movie in cash, and he filmed with a smaller crew in often bad weather conditions in China just to get the movie finished.

This sort of renegade filming works really well for a movie about a journey to an unreachable land.
What the movie does better than anything else, is put you in the shoes of a modern day salary man transported to an idyllic oasis.
