Here are some great comments from last week's thread:

Brick - After seeing news of Rian Johnsons confirmed Star Wars trilogy, I finally decided to watch the High School Noir. As an aspiring filmmaker whos never made a film, it was absolutely inspiring. Its obvious it was done with little to no budget, but it still felt grand and invigorating. I loved the setting, its such an oddball choice for a movie and it sticks to its guns. The dialogue is intriguing, and while not my favorite it does set up an interesting environment. While movies like Romeo+Juliet makes me sick to my stomach, I was so engrossed by this world that I couldnt help but buy it. The characters were a smart mix of high school cliches and noir cliches. A protaganist as a mix of angsty teen with angsty noir detective. Femme fatale mixed with the high school popular girl. I was really entertained by the jock which was cleverly mixed with some sort of greek storyteller. One thing I was extremely impressed with was the action. The way JGL moved in this film was just entertaining. Whenever hes in conflict hes just in a constant flailing motion, his arms and feet constantly trying to find balance as he propels himself forward. What a lot of movies forget is that the biggest asset film has in these sorta scenes arent flashy weapons or proper martial arts, its movement. If your character is moving around like JGL does in this movie, its just a treat to watch. It really shows the Rian's Cowboy Bebop influence. My favorite fight was definitely the infamous chase scene that ends with JGL taking off his shoes. Look it up on Youtube if you havent seen it, its insanely clever. If youre an aspiring filmmaker, this film is the exact thing you need to see. It does everything right and proves you just need a focused and properly executed vision to make a good movie.

The Florida Project - Absolutely stunningly shot film. It is a very vibrant, colorful, film with amazing set designs. The film itself is a slice of life film about an entire community that lives in the shadow of Disney World. An entire community that you would pass by countless times on the highway without giving a second thought. It is a harsh look into the lives of people that most do not give a second thought to. It is a very realistic film. Sean Baker succeeds to make sure that the audience feels as if they are right there as the film takes place. Everything feels real, natural and alive. Exceptionally well acted, the child actors were great, Willem Dafoe gave an oscar worthy, nuanced performance. It will make you laugh, cry, be angry, sad, and joyful throughout the course The film. It largely follows the kids as they create this magical escapism to get away from the harsh realities of their life and we as the audience are just along for the journey. But contrasting the kids lives are the lives of their mothers who have to do everything they can to provide for their kids, whichever way needed. Characters have great arcs, and interactions with one another. we also see the kids become a product of their environment in a way. The ending will be the topic of most discussion. It seems to be very divisive. I think it is best not to get into the details of the ending and leave it up to the viewers to discuss afterwards. It might be a little bit of a spoiler discussing it in detail in my comment.

Have fun and play nice!
