You need to watch that ending again. There is a reason she lingers so long on an enervated, anguished, uncertain Jessica Chastain. Everything about it bespeaks a deep ambivalence about the operation and what it really accomplished.

On Colbert last night, Kenneth Branagh said that he attended a screening of the film with vets from Dunkirk. When they were asked what they thought of the film, they said "It was louder than the real war."

It's on Sunset in LA. I pass it every time I take the bus.

LOL at obscure.

I tell the truth.

Those are directorial choices, most likely not attributable to Hoytema.

If we were to rank directors working today, he would be behind Claire Denis, the Coen brothers, Terence Davies, Park Chan-Wook, Martin Scorsese, Jim Jarmusch, Lynne Ramsay, Michael Haneke, Todd Haynes, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Andrea Arnold, Steven Spielberg, Hou Hsiao-Hsien, Pedro Almodóvar, Errol Morris, Terrence…

The birthday cake Oreo is shockingly good. They seem to put more creme in those ones, too.

Lacunae.

In the US school is over and has been for some time.

I'm not asserting that there's a 1:1 correspondence between content and behavior, but it's naive to think that media images, whether disseminated by television, cinema, print advertising, etc., do not significantly shape/inform/condition our experiences and thus our ways of thinking. So no, watching something like…

It's like smoking, too. Indefensible in real life but indispensable to the visual identity of so many films.

Another utterly reductive and ignorant statement. The images we consume and the "reality" outside of them are inseparable.

So sick of this ignorant, reductive argument. You're truly living in darkness if you think the images we consume on a daily basis have no effect on how we think and behave, especially in the hyper-mediated world we live in today. Do some reading. Marshall McLuhan is a good place to start.

Ramsay seems to want her recent movie titles to form a conversation.

Is this so hard to look up? "I, Daniel Blake" took the Palme.

I will never understand people not finding that movie scathingly funny. It's bitter, black humor. But I guess these things are subjective.

It doesn't mean it's universally true. I could counter and ask you how many companies have credits on "A Quiet Passion"? That film wouldn't have even been made if it didn't have that backing.

This comment is extremely ignorant of contemporary production and distribution realities. We don't live in the era of the vertically integrated studio system anymore.

The monologue was really strange because most people confuse Chris Pine not with other Chrises but with James Marsden.
