I've watched this three times now, The National has been consistently gifting me with great music since 2007 (when I first discovered them). The album has this great symbiotic relationship with the making of this film, Mike Mills & Alicia Vikander elevate the entire experience I just have no words.

I should sue mads for this and I actually finished it ugh the things I do for him?? I trusted u bitch let me get you better roles pls

I'm pretty sure I've watched it over 20 times and I still notice new things every time? This time it's one of the manuscripts (Akallabeth) Gandalf finds in Minas Tirith where it details how Sauron tricked Ar-Pharazon (king of Numenor, Aragorn's ancestor) into waging war against the Valar (Gods of Middle-earth) which led to the downfall of Numenor. Ar-Pharazon, like Isildur showed the weakness & greed of men..Aragorn knew the history of how power corrupted the people in his line and feared he would become like his ancestors.
I find myself ranting about LOTR way too often... anyway THIS IS A CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE AND THAT'S THAT.

Taika's commentary.. that's basically him saying the weirdest shit, made my life 10x better.
