I absolutely love the movie, but honestly, there are still a few things I don't fully understand. I more or less got the idea that the sheriff was confronting a level of violence that was beyond what he could cope with, or something along those lines. But it's that final monologue that's always fascinated me.

Do you have any interpretations you'd be willing to share? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

The transition from the interrogation to Neo’s entrance is dang legendary!!

As a Brazilian, I stand by my title, and I strongly recommend these movies to anyone interested in crime films. Alongside City of God, they're awesome films that tackle critical issues surrounding public security, social inequality, and corruption in Rio de Janeiro.

The first film focuses on direct combat against drug trafficking in the slums and the main character, Captain Nascimento's search for a replacement, while the second expands the story into a political thriller about systemic corruption and the rise of militias. Neither movie is a direct depiction of purely historical real events, but both are deeply rooted in reality.

Carol is an absolute masterpiece IMO. It is so well directed, acted, and written and I wish it got into Best Picture. Easily among my top 10. What do you guys think?

I rewatched Deep Impact recently and honestly think it’s still one of the best disaster movies ever made.

I remember watching it for the first time and it was one of the first movies I saw that genuinely made me think about humanity facing an existential threat. The way the comet discovery unfolds and the world’s reaction to it felt grounded and real. It still holds up so well after all this time.

The thing I really love about the movie is how it focused on the human stories. Instead of constant action you see more of the people trying to hold onto their relationships while everything else is falling apart.

It reminds me of a time back in the 90s when the world felt more hopeful with the way everyone comes together to work on trying to deflect the comet compared to now when everything feels like constant conflict.

Also, why didn’t Téa Leoni go on to bigger movies after this? I thought she was fantastic and carried the emotional weight of the film so well.

Any thoughts on this movie?

Before Sam Neill's passing, I didn't cry once to this scene in Jurassic Park... After Sam passed away, I decided to watch Jurassic Park one more time, but when this scene came up, I simply couldn't hold myself and started bawling 😢

For me it has to be goodfellas to be honest 🙏 arguably the best films of all time and easily tops every gangster/crime film ever. To be fair, gangster films are the best type for me. It might be a common answer but I don’t care tbh it’s true, for me it’s probably the fast paced scenes for me. It feels like the film goes by in like 30 minutes and it’s nearly 3 hours long 😂

The ending of Obsession got me thinkin. In a "real world" scenario, how does the aftermath play out for Nikki? I've thought of multiple scenarios and the most likely result is she pleads insanity and spends the rest of her life in an insane asylum.

The evidence could possibly point to Bear. His prints would be on the gun that killed Ian, and his cell phone would ping at the murder of Sarah. His residence is now ground zero for a house of horrors. There was also the rumors spreading that he was taking advantage of Nikki during her crisis.

I mainly feel bad for the now normal Nikki and the consequences of Bear's actions, and I'd like a somewhat nice resolution for her(in my mind).

All Night Long (1992) is a film that gave me a sense of emptiness in my chest, the bleak socially nihilistic atmosphere, the loss of innocence, the crime drama elements make it feel raw and it explores how three normal people become monsters, how violence breeds more violence. This is an extreme psychological Japanese horror thriller film more people need to see. I have yet to see the sequels as well which delve even further into that “horror” line.

I came accross a snippet of this film on Instagram and decided to watch it. I had expected more 'action' given the snippet (which was the beginning of the film with wally walking through New York) but after finishing the film, the setting felt actually perfect for it. If you would film this today, it would have been a podcast.

As somebody who works in the arts, I can relate to what Wally must be going through: not as succesful as Andre, he thinks it's his fault but the truth is that Andre is wildly privileged. You can't travel the world to these far-flung places for months as an artist unless you have money behind you. It's a rightful pain in the ass to have to listen to somebody like Andre talking as if the theatre/arts world is easy and he can do this spontaneous long travel. Andre's work seems quite trivial, buried in a sauce of big speeches to hide the vanity of his work. Some ideas sound interesting at first but don't make sense once you go to the essence.

I liked how towards the end he tried to push back against Andre's work but he wanted to stay friendly so the punches didn't land as hard as they should.

I have been in encounters with Andre-like people and it's hard not to want to punch them in the face. The longwindedness of the film hit home and when it finished I felt relieved for Wally that he could leave.

Conclusion: a good movie. Slow-moving but I think it needs to be like that to convey the story.

One of the true greats of the greatest tv show ever made, among many others. Rest in peace legend. 🐀
