    Blackadder Goes Forth is one of the most shocking and heartbreaking things I've ever seen. And it's wild that the slow-motion horror of the charge was genuinely an accident - they filmed it normally, and it looked terrible and they didn't have the time to reshoot, so someone suggested slowing it down and another person suggested the poppy fields and suddenly you have one of the most affecting moments in television EVER.
    And you gotta respect them for going with that ending despite the BBC pushing back very hard to make it stay silly.

      We're all so fortunate they were able to commit to it, because WW1 being what it was, it should 'not' have had any other kind of ending. That was the point, that was the tragedy of it all. That it was able to make you laugh, smile, rage at the stupidity of it all, and then be so coldly reminded of the reality of their situation is just...Atkinson and the team in Blackadder produced a masterpiece.

If the entirety of Black Adder incarnations prior to that moment hadn't been constant hilarity and absurdity, I don't think it would have achieved that.

      As a tip for anyone who watches that ending again, watch Darling's face once they're all lined up at the trench. Seeing his expressions morph from dawning horror and dread, to that one horrible moment of relief (such a sad joke, "We survived it, the Great War! 1914-1917!"), back to the realisation that he's about to die. The whole cast is great in this scene, but seeing him fall apart over the course of those couple minutes in his face alone really got me.

    My personal opinion: The late Phillip Seymor Hoffman was the perfect blend of Jack Black and Gary Oldman. He could (and often did) step into any role he was given and almost, but not quite, disappear. At some point in the movie you _would_ realize it was him... but very rarely at the beginning. And then he would quickly slip back into his role.

    A bad movie with a good actor is still a good time most of the times, a good movie with a bad actor is both painful for the time you've wasted and for the chance wasted. A good actor can still pull you in and get you invested to some degree but when the acting is subpar the value of the plot, the craft of it all, just completely falls apart and you end up more focused on your boring afk training or you start scrolling through whatever social media... I use the 20 minute rule for movies, if I feel that way during the first 20 minutes of the movie I close it and look for another.

    A movie that marked a before and after for me was The Lodge (2019). It's not really a horror movie in the traditional sense, despite having some "jumpscares" (more like sudden noises). It can also be slow as hell and quiet, but to me it perfectly generates dread and, more impressively, it depicts the perspective of a severely depressed and traumatized person, to the point that it's the only movie I know that could be dangerous to watch if the viewer is struggling with a mental health problem. I wouldn't say it was fun to watch, quite the opposite, but it's unique and has great photography.

    Silent films hit differently, because they have to convey the emotions and senses of the people and the world around them differently than any modern film. Metropolis (1927) to this day is by far my favourite silent film and the entire film is a rollercoaster of tropes that I don't see much in films today

    to me, one of the films that redefined my life was mad max fury road. A set of circumstances that led me to watch a movie that i had barely any idea what it was about and boy, its direct me to a professional path and personality that i had no clue id go when i went to movie that night.

    Starship troopers is a film that is accidentally about the necessity of war.
    All volunteer military that tried to scare their recruits out of completing training that fight against bugs that bomb earth from the far reaches of space because rogue Mormons try settle a planet in contested territory.
    Those that do not want citizenship can live full lives, become millionaires and raise families but if you want a say in how the country is run you need to bleed for your country (especially in the book where its clear the military is not the only route to citizenship).
    Starship Troopers says "Service guarantees citizenship" and offers an excellent first world alternative.
    Fascism says "Citizenship guarantees service" and offers death or worse as an alternative.
    It's anti-war because it documents the horrors of war, even including reporters ripped to shreds live on camera. There's glory to be had but its real glory in victory for humanity and in no way built on a lie. The commander in chief even steps down after following faulty intelligence. The whole point of the structure (in the book) is to avoid unescasarry military and government action and control.
    War is hell but defeat and surrender is worse.
    Absolutely hilarious how the movie still carries the message of the book despite Verhoven's best efforts, although very in keeping with the incredibly strange truth that Robocop was somehow a Jesus allegory (in Paul's own words).
    It remains saddening to me how very few people see that in the film though.
    Too bad the book is too 'political treatise' and dry to hold most peoples interests, even if it did invent the concept of space marines.
    The Mobile Infantry had jetpacks and exoskeletons with ape arms (hence "c'mon you apes, you wanna live forever?") and grenades that announced their countdown timers to let civilians clear out of areas they needed to capture and were deployed in squads no larger than a 40k tac squad populated with only the best.
    ...I have a hard time imagining Jack Black in Starship Troopers. You would make an incredible officer in the psychic ops corps methinks, next to NPR.

    Black adder goes forth is a WONDERFUL show and the last episode is not aweful it is beautiful and scary all at once.
    Its beautiful because it shows you that these characters whom we have come to love and cherish as real people (representing the real victims of war), are now making the ultimate sacrafice for the freedom of europe and the peace it will bring.
    They will die as the brave heroic men that they are...
    Its scary because you do not want these characters to die, even though they must, and as it fades out and the comedy stops, you are left with the sounds of guns, explosions, screams and death all around. Reminding you the viewer that in war even though people can be heros, war itself is not heroic but the folly of mad men sending good men to die.
    Its a real tear jearking moment ❤

      There are a lot of elements that just might not gel with people making it a not great experience. But if you are one of the target demographics it is a very well designed piece and will definitely hit you.

    A lot of movies are pretty good at what they do and want to show. But another important aspect of watching films is that you have to be in a specific mood for a specific film. As an example I can mention Blade Runner sequel. I got through the film only on my second try, because first time around I wasn't in a mood, it felt slow, sluggish and I wasn't paying attention. And at the second time, I was in the mood. And I just sat there, in front of the screen, absorbing and basking in the atmosphere, and it was phenomenal. So yeah, Right Mood Matters.

Anyone who hasnt seen it i wont spoil anything but i highly recommend you watch it
