It's projection because it's a movie. It's not real.

The movie is about a guy who does not appreciate life. This lack of appreciation for life almost literally costs him his own life. He survives, and is reborn, but he nonetheless figuratively loses his past life, because people had to move on. That is the tragic element of it.

If Helen Hunt was going to dump him because he was a workaholic then there's no need for the movie at all!

I thought the first half was paced really well but the 2nd seemed maybe a bit rushed. I have read they deleted a scene where Pinocchio was going to be killed via firing squad ( I kinda predicted this before it came out by comparing it to the Pinocchio anime, Mokku of the Oak Tree, where a similar scene occurs ). They opted to remove it because it was too dark and slowed things down ( which is kinda what I wanted tho lol ).

Still a worthy and unique interpretation. A somewhat peculiar criticism of mine with some of the other Pinocchios is how much of a dork he looks like when he’s transformed into a real boy, so I was very pleased with the final “twist” there.

yes and I even like it, but it’s so far from being innovative or in any way having any artistic value; only a value for pop culture.

It's bad as film analysis but it also doesn't really make sense factually.

>Four months have passed since the crash, and two years pass from the first date to their wedding date. Two years! Two years seems like an awfully short turnaround for a woman to be married when she’s not even sure if her fiancé is still alive or not.

A quick Google search tells me:

>By 25 months after the spouse's death 61% of men and 19% of women were either remarried or involved in a new romance.
>
>Younger age was a predictor of becoming involved in a new romance for women.

This is for all ages and younger people are more likely to be in a relationship so the actual odds of "this woman" (who it needs to be said, is a fictional creation) are at least higher than 20%.

It was the Soviets in the original.

I really don’t think that’s the case, and the way that moment is shot does not support that interpretation.

You see Dutch both crestfallen that the predator sees the knives and dodged the trap, and when he has a moment of realization that his counterweight is positioned perfectly.

Me personally I'm glad the hack frauds did it

Very racist of you.

Have you seen the film?

I think the problem we're facing is actually pretty simple, unlike TV or film or books, the internet isn't divided by age or isn't categorised by it. This means at any point you're at risk of reading the opinion of a 15 year old, or an 11 year old, or anywhere in between and younger. A lot of the terrible posts you see are from these people, children who don't have a lot of life experience and speak with the same apparent authority as you or I.

All of these twitter pile on's start this way, children have a lot of free time and they get hoovered up into discord groups and teach each other the most extreme opinions. Then they post about this stuff in those groups and come up with an insane puritanical ideology around it. Recently I saw someone on twitter say the first major news event they remembered was Trump getting elected, they had 10's of thousands of followers and they can't have been older than 12 or 13, they even framed it as 'their dad telling them'. This is a problem.

Regardless who said

>Why does your Latino lead have to bond with a white woman?

It was deeply influenced by that, film festivals are reading this stuff online and taking it to heart, but it's complete bullshit. You can have a transphobic subject in your documentary, I say that as a trans person. In The Lady and the Dale they have footage of jurors admitting they found the subject of the documentary guilty in part because she was trans, or it at least was a factor. Surely we have to want that out there? Not locked away because it's 'offensive'.

Everyone needs to stop listening to twitter and Facebook and social media in general. Have fun on it sure, but you have a bias, you assume that the person who wrote the post you're reading is about your age and about the same as you. That is rarely true.

FYI, died last week. Jan 25th.

I would not compare Taxi Driver to Drive, they really have little in common.

Taxi Driver is a dark comedy and psychological thriller about a deranged taxi driver turned murderer who takes out his frustrations on some lowlife pimps and then is heralded as a hero.

Drive is an artsy fartsy action thriller about a reserved getaway driver who falls in love with and eventually saves a girl who’s in deep with some gangsters, and then said driver disappears.

Funny how Taxi Driver, a much more morbid movie than Drive, has a happy ending where the antihero gets the girl, meanwhile in Drive the more-likable antihero disappears and doesn’t get with the girl.

These kinds of things are funny to write and think about but they are bad film analysis.

Kelly didn't cheat on Chuck because it makes no thematic sense for this to happen and be kept hidden from the audience.

3DD is essentially a made for tv movie in comparison of quality to the first one lol.
