i *so* want to support anyone who's making original sci-fi on a studio budget.
but no.
duncan jones: how will i convey to the audience that my main character doesn’t fit in with the world he lives in?
[somewhere in the 16 years it took to make this ill-fated passion project — the clouds open up, the sun comes beaming in, illuminating duncan’s face and his mind. his eyes widen as the greatest idea to ever grace humanity hits him like a freight train]
duncan jones: MAKE. HIM. AMISH.
There's honestly no reason for this story to take place in some BLADE RUNNER knockoff future dystopia, which makes the truly crappy-looking BLADE RUNNER knockoff future dystopia all the more disappointing.
Duncan Jones can whine all he wants about his dream project, Mute, not getting a cinema release, thus denying it the platform that he thinks would do his latest film justice. But Netflix has saved it from a commercial drubbing to go alongside the critical one it's deservedly receiving.
He's got nobody to blame but himself here. Quite clearly he's not going to do that. All of the storyboards and concept art that he's provided on his Twitter feed, he's clearly very proud of what he's achieved and in the process exposed himself as, at best, extremely misguided, and at the very worst, considerably less talented that many people claim him to be.
As much as I may have enjoyed…
duncan jones: heres my blade runner fanfic dont like dont read!!! h8ters stop flamin my fic!!!!

All three central performance in this are incredible, and I'll never be able to look at Paul or Justin the same way, ever again. I can't believe that, in a time during which we're finally calling out & fighting against the sexually predatory nature of certain men, this is the film y'all decided to pan. I have a lot more thoughts on why this movie is undervalued, because the point that I just made =/= good cinema, but that's still the principal detail I feel like addressing at the moment. And no, the primary female character wasn't treated as disposable just because she was murdered by a psychopathic man; no, the pedophile did not have anything…
me last year: netflix are giving filmmakers creative freedom to do what they want without boundries and its on its way to becoming the future of cinema
me now, after bright, paradox and mute: netflix original films is a garbage dump of stuff no one wants
