some #film that changed how I saw the world pt 2

#Yasujiro #Ozu: Tōkyō monogatari (Tokyo Story); Banshun (Late Spring); and the 1959 remake of Ukigusa (Floating Weeds)

Jean #Cocteau: Le Sang d'un Poète; Orphée; Le testament d'Orphée

Luis #Buñuel & Salvador #Dalí: An Andalusian Dog

Federico #Fellini: La Dolce Vita; 8 1/2

Peter #Greenaway: Prosepero's Books; The Pillow Book; The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and her Lover

Terry #Gilliam: Brazil

Terry Gilliam: “When I announce that I’m a black lesbian in transition, people take offence at that. Why?”

Probably because you're a massive bell-end, Terry.

Gilliam like Cleese and Rowling, and many others who have large audiences: they see people-power as a personal attack and act like they are being silenced, all while trying to silence those without a platform.

So I watched Jabberwocky #review #critique

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076221/

It's a pretty good movie and far better than Erik the Viking https://mas.to/@lydiaconwell/106878185163757091

But in a sense this #film is mired by the same failing as Erik the Viking: the film makers were too stuck on the concept of making a comedy.

Jabberwocky has some funny parts, sure, but I think it's a more enjoyable movie if you don't see it as a comedy.
