I thought it was good but way too long for what it was trying to say. Could have been a great indie short but as a full length movie, there was just too little happening.

No Walk Hard?

Sounds similar to the ending of >!Chinatown!<, one of the most masterful scenes in cinema.

Thanks.

I don't really think they care about that.

All made for the film but the director from what I gather based it on her personal experience.

I've been thinking about this a lot and I think one of the things that makes this film stick with you is because it silently tells the actual story of the film alongside the main film.

On the most shallow of surface level analysis the film is a sort of coming-of-age drama that follows a father and daughter on a relatively normal holiday in Turkey. But the actual story of what's actually going on is left for you to figure out through the subtext and clues given. I think that's just masterful storytelling.

I had someone anxiety watching this movie waiting for something bad to happen to this lovely father and daughter.

Why is everything a "masterclass" now? What about a "doctorateclass"?

Is it really made with personal footage or is that all made for the film?

Wait it’s hilarious because that’s how our theater reacted too. After the horse goes “did you know I can fly” the room burst out laughing

An original story Bullit does sound ground breaking enough to me. I think it'll make a great summer blockbuster along with Blackhawk if he makes that one too. As for the George Gershwin, I don't know if he'll be able to make that one. That film has been in development since 2010 and we still haven't heard much about it since.

I agree that he can be a bit sentimental at times, but that doesn't mean he can't do anything ground breaking or revolutionary. He did say that he has a few Westerns in development and he hopes to direct one soon. And he said before that if a story speaks to him in a way, he'll make a movie about it. He still has the guts to do it.

I felt like that it had the opportunity to win Best Picture but I think Elgort's allegations might've thrown the Academy voters off. They probably didn't wanna give the award to a film that stars an actor with problems.

The ending is such a gut punch. The Under Pressure scene was breathtaking in a theater, the sound design went off at that part

reminds me of a movie that I didn't love, but the ending was so damn perfect, where instead of showing a character committing suicide in his car in the garage, all we hear is the sound of his car horn not turning off. with the use of sound, and character reactions, we know that by running the car in his garage his head rests on the horn because he has killed himself. I feel like it is more shocking when you don't see a suicide, and only hear the sounds, and the character's reaction to the aftermath

lmao I’m not going to watch 50 music films are you kidding me

Yeah they could have easily had a scene at end where we actually see him kill himself and would've been effective but they done it in a super creative and more heartbreaking way.

WALL-E and E.T. sort of look similar.

And when I said WALL-E.T. I didn't even realize it spells "wallet" which is fitting because such a movie would be a cash grab.

It is so damn special to me when a filmmaker knows how to properly tell a story through visuals and the actor's performances rather than telling like you said. It is always nice when the filmmaker actually respects the audience not to explain everything that is happening

Thesame as you! I truly love it because how it was shot just totally made the audience a “participant” of the entire film. You feel like you were with them in that vacation. I love these kind of movies that trusts the audience to think on their own.

The ending truly turned the film into something else.

Really great analysis.

I watched this movie last night and had trouble articulating why I loved it. I spent the whole time waiting for a cathartic scene where emotions would explode out, and the more I think about it the more I realize that the lack of such a scene is what makes everything happening under the surface carry so much devastating weight.

It reminded me of Hemingway's writing, particularly stories like "Hills Like White Elephants" where very, very little is stated outright, but if you read it carefully, you can intuit what's going on underneath the surface. I really want to see it again, because I was so focused on trying to find the deeper meaning the first time (and I'd like to watch it with subtitles).

WALL-E v. E.T. : Dawn of Justice

Coal Miner's Daughter better be in this list
