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’.

Love some of these shots. You pick good ones here
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYey for Logan and Wonder Woman! i have a feeling the sequel will look ever better...for many reasons :)
ReplyDeleteI think you're right lol
DeleteWith the exception of Mudbound, Ingrid Goes West, and Columbus (only because I haven't seen them), I totally agree with these picks. Especially Ragnarok as that is an iconic shot as it is a great example of how to use the music of Led Zeppelin correctly.
ReplyDeleteYES! I loved how they used that Led Zeppelin song in that scene. It's easily one of my favorite Marvel shots, ever.
DeleteThis was an amazing year...
ReplyDeleteYes it was!
DeleteI didn't love the story in BR2049 and I found Gosling's character a bore but the movie had great visuals and Deakins deserved his oscar win.
ReplyDeleteDeakins was so overdue for an Oscar it was sad. That should've been his 5th.
DeleteThor: Ragnarok’s 😍
ReplyDeleteI know!
DeleteSo many awesome shots - The Last Jedi, It, Logan, Wonder Woman, Get Out, BR 2049.
ReplyDeleteAnd Thor: Ragnarok too - that was my only favorite part of the whole movie. lol
DeleteMine too, when the music started playing I laughed so hard. It was perfect.
DeleteThat Wonder Woman shot. Heck, that whole scene is an easy contender for best action sequence of the decade. Again, iconic.
ReplyDeleteI almost cried when watching it. It was just so powerful and to see a woman finally in a scene like that was just so overwhelming for me.
DeleteSome love for Raw, yes! I need to watch that movie again, that thing was bonkers and I loved it.
ReplyDeleteIt was and it felt like it went so far under the radar.
