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.

Every single one of these is so great! What a year. I think I forgot. Love Age of Ultron, especially her.

DeleteAh, love that shot of Wanda and YES! Much love to Crimson Peak.
ReplyDeleteCrimson Peak is SO beautiful!
DeleteOH MY GOD EX MACHINA SHOT
ReplyDeleteSo many great ones in that movie but the dances reigns supreme.
DeleteI love this! I love all of the ones I've seen (only haven't seen is Carol - whoops).
ReplyDeleteI didn't care for Carol the movie (or the book) but I can't deny it's a beautifully made film.
DeleteYaaaaaaas! There's only 1 here I haven't seen. I couldn't find many positive reviews for Crimson Peak but I've always been tempted to watch it anyway.
ReplyDeleteIt's not great but it's absolutely beautiful. It's fine, especially for a DVD watch.
DeleteLots of great ones in this batch especially. And that Mad Max one is again another classic. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is. That scene is iconic.
DeleteI love that sequence from Sicario so much. I'm really looking forward to Deakins winning another Oscar this year :)
ReplyDeleteHe deserves it. 1917 was gorgeous and I threw such a fit that he didn't win for Sicario. lol
