i wish i could find more movies that are actually thought through and feel like a cohesive ensemble of scenes that create a powerful storyline, preferably with strong casting and visual side too. please recommend anything that fits the bill!
i watched the accountant last night and i really enjoyed the fight scenes bc they were very well choreographed, rehearsed, filmed and cut. i usually dislike shooting/fight scenes in newer movies because they are like .2 second clips and feel super disorganised. another thing that made the shooting scenes feel more realistic was that the sound of gunshots were actually loud.
i also enjoyed the visual capture of the main characters stimming and how he started messing up his routines when he was upset, imo it was an unexpectedly accurate description of how some peoples brain work.
another movie i liked was the intern, i thought it captured the essence of some characters from pretty different places in life pretty well. it was maybe a bit too ~polished~ to my taste but still aesthetically pleasing and v heartfelt. i also really liked the ending because it wasn't trying to establish some Powerful Feminist Energy but felt like.....how people actually handle crisis (or don't).
