The comments surrounding this film are hilarious. I saw it last night and it was fantastic. Entire audience was locked in. The forced hate over this film from people who spread misinformation about it and will never watch it is just wild.

JUSTICE IS COMING TO ALL OF US. NO MATTER WHAT WE DO.

In 1895 America where the cold war is leading to a potential nuclear war, the government has suppressed costumed vigilantes. However, the brutal murder of one vigilante compels the remaining few to unite and investigate the perpetrator. Their realization of the true threat, unfortunately, comes too late.

The ending is peak cinema must recommend and don't spoil the story in comments

I read the producer of this Bond movie had a tough time keeping this scene in the film. Seems the studio wanted it cut. I think it's brilliant and edgy, maybe one of the best scenes in the film.

To me, Shame is one of my all time favorites. Sure, it’s a hard watch for sure, but it is such a well made film from its script to its direction to its camerawork to the performances to that score. It’s among my top 3 of all time. What a wonderful film. I wanna know what’s your guys thoughts on this film is?

I do love me some Greek mythology, and this adaptation of Homer poem is captured in the most authentic, fantastical and human emotion side so well. Everything from circe, Lagtheolram, trojan horse, the battle troy, and so much more. The cast is awesome and brilliant acted and written so beautiful, I didn't get to see this in IMAX, but the rest of the experience of watching it was monumental to capture and it's structured in Nolan tropes of non-linear storytelling and the horror moments, are shocking and intense as hell. I wish it when on for more, I think this is better than the last 2 Nolan movies, and I know the homer story and seeing all the familiar names and imagery from that story was just awe inspiring. This is old school fillm making at its finest. And another Smash hit from Chris "the GOAT" Nolan. Definitely one of the my favourites of year so far.

Loved the series Widows Bay and movies like Shutter Island. Something about that gothic mystery/paranormal/thriller vibe is great. I need some recommendations for other movies in that vein!

Just saw Backrooms last night and it was a good movie to say the least. Not groundbreaking but decent enough. I love the minimalistic design or aesthetic of the whole movie, it's also very nostalgic and kinda depressing and slightly claustrophobic. The outside world felt empty (it's like a world inside a sitcom where spaces are limited) then when you go into the Backrooms itself, that's when the depravity hits me, and that's just a thing with liminal spaces.

Despite nearly 2 hours of runtime, it felt like an 80 minute movie. The pacing is kinda weird though. The dinner scene felt out of place and out of character for Chiwetel's (don't know his name exactly) character. Yes he is alcoholic and having some issues but him to snap instantly like that was so weird. The ending was predictable, and kinda bland compared to the rest of the movie.

And also, thank god the movie was not leaning into the artsy side. It's still artistic but more digestible to regular viewers. This is why I don't like (kinda hate) movies like "Where All Going to the World's Fair" and "Skinamarink", they impose themselves as concepts rather than a story, which I guess is fine but not my taste. Backrooms also operates as a concept but balances it's story with art or aesthetics.

Overall, a decent movie. 7/10

Just watched it last night at Kinepolis Brussels, great experience all around.

However, I had a REALLY hard time with the flashing lights/lightning scene aboard the ship, when the Sun God is punishing the men for killing his cattle.

I could barely keep my eyes open, and the lightning effects would actually physically hurt my eyes whenever it happened. I've been going to the movies 2-3 times a week in different countries for a couple of decades now and that's the first time I ever experienced anything like that. It was also my first time watching a movie in IMAX 70mm.

Has anyone had a similar experience, or is it more likely to be a personal issue? Also, is this more likely to happen because of the format/the room, or has anyone else experienced this in other formats?

Not a complaint about the movie, btw - still very much enjoyed the experience and that scene was very effective. Just trying to gauge whether this was the intentional effect or if it's just a "me" issue.

Apocalypse Now (1979)

Dezesseis meses de filmagem para uma produção que deveria durar seis semanas. Duzentas horas de material filmado. Trinta milhões de dólares gastos contra um orçamento previsto de doze, com Francis Ford Coppola hipotecando sua casa e sua vinícola apenas para concluir o projeto. Na estreia em Cannes, ele disse algo que ficou marcado na história do cinema: "Meu filme não é sobre o Vietnã. Meu filme *é* o Vietnã". Não era uma metáfora.

Harvey Keitel foi originalmente escalado como o Capitão Willard, mas acabou demitido após semanas de filmagem porque Coppola o achou rígido demais, com um perfil militar excessivo para um personagem que precisava se desintegrar emocionalmente de dentro para fora. Martin Sheen assumiu o papel, entregando-se a ele com uma dedicação que talvez tenha ido longe demais. A cena inicial de colapso emocional — aquela no quarto de hotel, diante do espelho — nunca esteve no roteiro. Sheen estava genuinamente embriagado, no dia de seu trigésimo sexto aniversário, e, ao socar o espelho, acabou cortando a mão de verdade. Coppola tentou interromper as filmagens, mas Sheen implorou que as câmeras continuassem rodando. Aquele sangue e aquelas lágrimas eram reais e permaneceram na montagem final.

Meses depois, um tufão destruiu grande parte dos cenários e paralisou a produção por três meses. Ao retornar às Filipinas, Sheen sofreu um ataque cardíaco real e precisou ser resgatado de helicóptero. Coppola, consumido pela culpa, sofreu um colapso nervoso e uma convulsão epiléptica. Segundo vários relatos, ele cogitou o suicídio mais de uma vez durante aquele período. Quando Marlon Brando finalmente chegou ao set para interpretar Kurtz, estava acima do peso e não havia lido nem o roteiro nem o romance de Joseph Conrad que serviu de base para o filme. Coppola passou dias lendo *O Coração das Trevas* em voz alta para ele, página por página, antes que pudessem filmar suas cenas.

O filme conquistou a Palma de Ouro em Cannes. No entanto, o rastro deixado pela produção — tufões, ataques cardíacos, colapsos nervosos e meses roubados da vida de todos os envolvidos — permanece como um dos relatos mais extremos já contados sobre o que realmente é preciso para levar uma visão artística até o fim.
