Barry Lyndon (1975)
A piece of art in every sense
Extreme visual beauty in terms of it's composition and the fragile way in which it's lit, mixed with a feeling of loneliness, makes a great incubator for passion, which builds and builds in a subtle yet divine way through out this film. If your a fan of true art you're a fan of this film.
Kubrick was a photographer before directing film. This is the reason why he is one of my favourite directors, he has a sense of visual style and most of all a sense of composition. All the great directors have this and all the truly great films do too. Some films allow you to be thrilled or exited, though with it's use of high artistic skill this film allows you to experience. It is the difference between a good movie and a film makers master piece!
Drive (2011)
A visual film that would be a delight even if it were on mute
Let me tell you something, when a film stands up on it's own it doesn't need it's dialogue. Hitchcock said this: "Dialogue should simply be a sound among other sounds, just something that comes out of the mouths of people whose eyes tell the story in visual terms." So here we have it and need I say more? This film is a film lovers film, truly using the medium of image over the stage's preferred medium of sound. To top it off it has a great sound track, which adds tone and mood. The film is told by the eyes, the scenes and what is not said. It deals with age old human issues like loss, love and the want to be included and to be useful. Also it deals with true human emotion, in that Ryan's character truly gives himself to a cause for a reason that is not vane nor self centred. I will stop there because I don't want to include any spoilers!
G vs E (1999)
A homage to Morlock fighters everywhere and the good work they do every day
G vs E! That's what it is!
The thing I love about Good vs Evil is that you feel like you're watching a mixture of genuine 1970s pulp garbage mixed with some great whimsical comedy, based on the inadequacy of the characters and the head of operations, the "core". What's more, it's carried off perfectly via a pact made by all cast members to be bizarre, unsentimental and wooden.
The lack luster performance of the main actors is something to lust after, in a show that gives it to you slow!, and sometimes doesn't give it to you at all! ACTUALLY In all seriousness the actors do a great job and are intentionally bizarre, which is hugely comical. I love this show because it's a parody and it never takes self seriously at all, so it really succeeds in its mission to parody. I mean if you stopped watching they probably wouldn't care! Now tell me, how long has it been since a show's been that refreshing? In these modern times of TV treachery, every show has to stake its claim, its divine right to stay on air. Good vs Evil made no such fuss and it went down with dignity, it fell on its sward. I mean I can't even buy this s**t on DVD, I had to look online, but it hides effectively in the shadows like a Morlock. Anyway I realise that I got to explain the premise of the show but it's almost 3pm and I haven't brushed my teeth – something's take priority even over the age old rivalry of Good vs Evil!
