    Jack! And everyone here. If you decide to watch a movie, watch The Zone of Interest. It's not that long, the cinematography is exceptional (also has a termal camera night shot) and the subject was a real event from a horrible time in history. We should not forget the past so that we won't repeat it! At the same time, dealing with a gut punch subject, the movie does not show the horrors. Truly a masterpiece!

  • @donna25871
    @donna25871 8 місяців тому +4

    I’ve read most of those books - the only one I have yet to read is the first one. Zone of Interest is quite different because in the film they used the real family. Gives the movie a sense of potency. I love American Prometheus - such a weighty biography that deep dives into the life of Oppenheimer where the film interweaves between three events/time periods. Killers of the Flower Moon focuses more on the family and less on the investigation. Preferred the Spielberg version of The Colour Purple. You didn’t mention Society of the Snow which is about the 1972 Andes crash. Again the book gives more detail as you’re condensing 72 days into two hours. But highly recommend both. Most of these you can watch the film then read the book later.

    Killers of the Flower Moon is longer than average but so worth the time, one of the best movies of 2023. I feel bad for anyone who missed out on seeing it in theaters... it really felt like one of those that's meant to be seen on the big screen with the full effect of the sound design, and it helps when you're forced to give it your uninterrupted attention and can't pause or glance at your phone like a lot of us would be tempted to at home. I don't get how you can have the attention span to read over 100 books a year but not to just sit and look at a screen for 3 hours lol

    With poor things I both loved the book and the movie for different things, the adaptation was unique to the director and he took, in my opinion, a different direction from the book.

Both still were brilliant.

He has a knack for showing you that real life really IS stranger than fiction. I never knew how attached a could be to sailors from the 17th century. Real housewives has nothing on those sailors’ drama.

    Poor Things, the book, is just as incredible as the movie in a completely different way. It's the book that helped me realize that film adaptations of books should never be 1 to 1 to their source material (in my opinion). It's a book for a reason, the movie should borrow its characters and themes and reinvent them for a visual medium.

    With the story within the story situation, I am really interested how that is done in the novel. I think the book was published quite a while ago, so I'm interested if in the movie, there were many changes compared to the novel to reflect more recent events. Also, I highly recommend the movie. I laughed out loud several times, while some scenes were heartbreaking

      because most people who choose not to go only do so because of stigma and not cus they actually don’t like musicals. It’s just a trend to hate them right now. As a musical fan it does suck to see things not being marketed as they are but as we saw from wonka, this method works for some reason. And if i have to deal with that marketing in order to still get musicals i’m ok with that. I think the Wicked movies are gonna be a good test because everyone is going in knowing it’s a musical.

      Oh wow, that makes a lot of sense. I was wondering if Sandra had treats in her pocket or something, but the dog just loves her lol. It was effective!@@doreene11

    It's so disturbing that back in the day they would not feed the dog actors until they "performed" and only then food was given as a reward. Animal cruelty is horrendous. Hopefully, times are better, at least for animal actors. That dog deserves the award!! They should totally have a dog Oscar!

      Yes! I’m going to read it before I see the film. Poor Things is such a bad adaptation.

      The book is so different from the movie. The movie is exceptional, the way was shot, but the topic is horrific, but real historical and tough. Everyone should watch it!

    Poor Things was so poorly adapted. I’ve written a review on it which should be coming out soon!
    A teaser: “As is expected, adaptations can never be entirely faithful, but there are some directors who put their all into making it happen. It is safe to say that Yorgos Lanthimos isn’t one of them.”
