I’ve noticed that the larger the scale and budget a movies get, the more vacate the film is. A small scale film like The Social Network is much bigger to me than Dune 2 which I recently saw through a friend working in the film industry. Dune 2 is one of the largest scale films ever made but its thoughts and ideas are equally small in the other direction. It’s valid to be mesmerized by the technical feat and the sheer scale of it but it’s empty calories.
- boppo1 3y agoYeah I feel this. I just watched Prisoners for the first time and didn't realize it was Villanueve. It felt like a much more impactful and 'whole' film than Dune Part One.
- runsfromfire 3y agoThe existential horror cultivated in Prisoners so laser-focused and palpable, I still regularly think about Jackman’s character and get a chill down my spine. truly excellent handling of that character’s journey. i didn’t realize it was Villanueve either!
