martin scorsese directing the hell out of actors in killers of the flower moon (2023)

i think leonardo dicaprio is particularly uninteresting when he’s trying really hard to play Masc and the director allows it to go to that artificial place. it's like there's this additional layer of masking between himself and the characters he's playing when he goes there. and i think marty understands that, and he knows how to balance it so well as compared to someone like tarantino (i'm not a tarantino hater, i just do not think he knows how to use leo, sue me). this is the best i've seen leo in years because this character also has a layer of masking between himself and his masculinity, which also means violence and deception here. just a man who deteriorates into a monster and, ultimately, a haunted doll.

Bringing out the dead (1999)

A Scorsese that no one talks about but should. Nicholas Cage is perfect, the supporting cast is top tier and it’ll just make you love New York.

THE GREATEST AUSTRALIAN FILM

It may or may not translate but this is not simply a film it is a trove of Australian iconography. If you have lived in or visited Australia you will have heard countless references to to lines of dialogue in this film that are so rooted into the lexicon that people say them without understanding it's a reference. I saw this again in December in a theatre full of older Australians and every joke hit. But it's not all laughs there are tender moments between the Kerrigan's as they fight against the man for their home. It's an embodiment of what it means to be an Aussie battler and finding joy and pleasure in the simple things. We know we're not flash but isn't that the point? You laugh when you hear an iconic line firstly because it's funny but secondly because it reminds you of all the times you've said or heard that line or something very close to in the real world and although we're not a perfect country but I wouldn't want to call any other place home.
