Making True Detective 2014

Watched by keegan 13 May 2021

using this to talk about the show (s1):
man, this show is of ridiculous quality. this feels like an 8 hour crime drama/thriller film, if you enjoy films like “Memories Of Murder” by Bong-Joon-Ho and “Prisoners” by Dennis Villenevue then definitely tune into True Detective, it’s dark, gritty, tense, funny, thrilling and basically any other adjectives you could think of. Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson deliver two of the greatest TV performances ever, and along with the phenomenal writing it…
The Tree of Life 2011

★★★★★ Watched by keegan 11 Apr 2021

one of the most profound and beautiful experiences i’ve ever had with a piece of art. consequential on its looks at nature, faith and the human spirit, and how all 3 of those things intertwine in each person.

Days of Heaven 1978

★★★★★ Watched by keegan 20 Jan 2022

hypnotic. i found myself getting lost in this world due to the unsurprisingly beautiful visuals and score by ennio morricone. malick once again intertwines nature and humanity in the way no other director can, our characters surroundings destroyed by human temptation and lust. finding yourself in awe at such a simple story is something i’m getting used to with malick films, but very rarely find myself this way with any other director out there, very quickly rising in my ranks. an auteur if ever there was one.
