Recently, I was talking to someone about who I thought were the best child actors when I was also a child. Two that really stood out to me were Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazello, and one film those two were in together was called Radio Flyer. Then I was reminded about the uniqueness of this film. Instead of reviewing the film, I wanted to have an open discussion about the ending. It deals with a tough issue; child abuse. What I’ve noticed is the way that the film ends is interpreted many different ways, and the filmmakers never came forward to say what was right and wrong. I’m interested in hearing everyone’s opinions on it. How did you interpret the ending? Obviously spoiler alerts will follow.. For those of you who haven’t seen the film, the basic premise is this: Two young boys, Mikey (Wood) and Bobby (Mazello) move in with their single mother and her boyfriend, who refers to himself as ‘The King’. It doesn’t take long for The King to start physically abusing ...
Excellent choices... these are all gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading!
DeleteAwesome images! I especially loved Cabin in the Woods and Avengers! Happy 10th Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Cabin was hard to choose, there was a lot of really cool shots but I'm always a sucker for red.
DeleteEndgame's the best Marvel movie out of the Avengers series ever. Infinity War's terrible
ReplyDeleteLMAO no.
DeleteAh, amazing shots. Nothing from Holy Motors?
ReplyDeleteI never saw Holy Moters. I had it in my Netflix queue for the longest time, then finally took it out. I didn't think I would like it.
DeleteThat Avengers shot is a classic. And glad someone else remembers Another Earth! Loved that film!!
ReplyDeleteI really liked Another Earth! Big fan of Brit Marling.
DeleteGREAT captures from Take This Waltz and The Master. And always love seeing some appreciation for Rust and Bone!
ReplyDeleteI didn't *love* Rust and Bone but there were a lot of really great things about it. The Master is a film I've been wanting to rewatch lately.
