Cars 3 (2017)
good old trial run of bait and switch
Ofc they have to change the main character to someone else that is less masculine. Just a horrible slap to the face , the PC grift in full effect. Just awful. Cars 2 was already a bit tired so they must have decided to change the formula to this catastropic mess.
The story is in a nutshell: you have to change Usain Bolt to a female runner because that's cathartic. Don't watch it, just skip everything after 1. This is a one part franchise. Just super sad what they did and this must have been the first movies that showed how rotten the industry got. It must be better than toy story 5 though if that is a metric.
Filmworker (2017)
A largely misunderstood piece
Seems like you either hate this film, or love it. It is certainly tormenting in some aspects but that goes to show that the director somehow wanted to bring balance into the picture.
Stanley Kubrick, genius.
Stanley Kubrick , slave master.
Who is Stanley Kubrick?
He is both. Unfortunate? Reality often times is.
Let's move forward. What is he , again?
An utterly dedicated man, even obsessive. Yes, you watched his movies. Marveled at the attention he put into the details, the grace in execution.
Making movies I think, in Kubrick's eyes was akin to waging wars. There will be causalities.
Actors that cry on camera till this day.
A filmworker.
Causalities or heros? Have an opinion about it. With empathy, you will certainly say that it is horrible.
But the movie wants you to think about the other way too.
For me , Leon Vitali is a hero. Heros sacrifice. Working with a perfectionist requires that you give your all, or more.
Anytime he could have quit, but he haven't. Anytime Stanley could fire him, but he didn't. Now consider:
Til this day he has not quit.
71 years old, looks frail, but I bet he has more energy that you can Imagine. Something is still burning behind those eyes.
It was his decision. He found something he loved, and let it kill him.
And this movie is about him.
The way I see it, it was due.
Leon, you did a damn good job.
