imagine how much better this franchise would have been if alfonso cuarón had directed all of it
It is truly astonishing to discover what all can happen when you put a promising story that's full of imagination, wonder & endless possibilities into the hands of a master storyteller and watch him/her elevate it to a whole new level. Breaking from the monotony of the previous two chapters, Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban is the first time we get a genuine taste of how magical, enchanting & mystifying the world of Harry Potter really is and the film as a whole is, in my opinion, the best instalment of the Harry Potter saga.
Based on J.K. Rowling's third novel & covering Potter's adventure during his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry, Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban is…
adolescence as the realization of the traumatic wounds that surround us; a sad, jagged journey of self-discovery where the connection between past + present and rage + suffering are contextualized into a deeper empathy for people, and if not an understanding, at least an acceptance of their actions. still among the most visually sophisticated studio movies ever made—the way this ebbs and flows through harry's psychology and eventual catharsis is vital. (note: gf's birthday so she got to choose the movie. good choice.)
Easily my favorite Harry Potter film so far. Everything, from story to character development, starts clicking here. Gary Oldman is fantastic as Sirius Black. The brotherly bond between Black and Lupin is really just a great story device. The time turner sequence is really great, though another example of the time-loop paradox a lot of films fall victim too. Alfonso Cuarón really heightens the franchise at this point.
Welcome to the darkness. We've reached the turning point of the Harry Potter series.
Before this, color exists.
After this, color doesn't exist.
Before this, happiness exists.
After this, happiness doesn't exist.
This movie paves the way for whoever the fuck did the last pile of movies to turn it into whatever the fuck it turns into. This movie works. I might call it my favorite of the Harry Potter movies. I don't know yet.
Half of this movie is blue, but when it is, it makes sense, and it looks fine. The later movies (with one exception I'll get to when I get there) somewhat poorly mimic this in order to reflect the increasing darkness in the story, but…
Rewatched after 14 years, with live orchestra playing the soundtrack. Couldn't be possible to have more goosebumps than I had watching this movies. All my childhood and favorite characters are here♡ Really touching 😍
Já perdi as contas de quantas vezes já assisti essa obra, mas sempre é uma experiência maravilhosa! Cresci com a saga Harry Potter e esse é o meu predileto de todos os 8 filmes. Como não se emocionar com a primeira aparição de Sirius Black, Lupin e Bicuço? Acho que nunca me cansarei de viver essa nostalgia! <3
