At first. I also struggled to see where Chung's unique vision was in the film. Then, I started seeing how "polite" this film was. Minari director who grew up in Arkansas knew the setting of the film well. He depicted the Southern people and their culture with affection and made a film whose storyline was wholesome and good, nothing offensive to any Southern moviegoers. In addition, being the good Christian, he emphasizes unselfishness and dedication to saving lives throughout the film. These are all traditional and old values, but in today's day and age, seeing these on the forefront of a major blockbuster film's storyline is so refreshing. I thought Chung did solid work with a good amount of his personality quite visibly sprinkled.
Pushing her? She's been in like one or two projects a year for just the last 3 or 4 years. She's very talented, and I would say she's actually underutilized.
I've just seen Twisters on IMAX and is a blast and spectacular! I was surprised by how thrilling it was! It was as good as Twister from 1996! I just missed the flying cow from the first movie!😅 I recommend to see Twisters at cinema for convincing special effects! I give it a 7 from 10.
I think nobody had the expectation to be an Oscar contender… I personally liked this one better than the first one. The first movie is too repetitive in my opinion, all the tornado chasing are for the exact same purpose. This one has more character development, and explores more reasons to chase a tornado despite getting information about it. And the performances were better too…. I gave 6/10 to the first one and 7/10 to this one.
Watching a movie with high expectations for whatever reason is always a no no. I knew from the start this movie would be an “average blockbuster entertainment” and that’s fine lol🤷🏻♂️
That's weird because the original film has very clear escalations and builds to Jo's re-match with an F5 tornado at the end, which Dusty's speech at Meg's house sets up. I didn't feel like the new one had that.
@@chazharristhis new one is sounding very inferior. I just hope I like it a little bit. Sad that there is no type of moment where they're INSIDE the tornado holding on to a belt! That moment still gets me to this day!
@@julianbracey7070 The music is a big part of why that first film works and has suspense. It's just ignored which would have redeemed the film a little for me. I mean, if I had access to the IP I would be bringing Mancina back for more of this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XdBmTTaC_KI.html
I haven’t seen it yet but I get the vibe that they’re only reviewing it and interested in it because Isaac Chung also directed Minari, even though this is clearly a summer action movie and not an indie Oscar darling. Just doesn’t feel like they’re meeting the film on its own terms
dont think so, i just watched the film and i totally get what theyre saying. its a perfectly decent film but theres really nothing interesting in terms of the filmmaking or the action or even the characters or the romance -
theyve even liked some other fun blockbusters in the past: barbie, top gun, john wick, etc. this reminds me sort of what happend with that movie Air (2023), where the filmmaking was just mid, and the script too, but people just thought it was fun because you just didnt have to think too much about it, and it sort of was, but i kind of feel the same with this one, it also was really cliché
You guys aren't wrong about flat modern cinematography. To be fair it isn't too far off what Top Gun looks like, but that had a warmer palette. no one wants to play with color and contrast anymore and it drains the energy and visual interest out of everything.
Spoiler warning. I must say. It's a hit and miss with me. It didn't give me the original vibe. The action was good but also made no real scientific sense. Even when the heavy Ram 2500 planted itself in the ground, it made no sense that it didn't get picked up inside the twister while buildings were being ripped apart. The casts acting was great but the script and some action scenes just fell short to me. Better than half the movies that came out this past year but just doesn't live up to the original for me.
Other than the lead woman character, I did not like the characters in this story but I did like the plot and the emphasis on helping people and spoilers her experiment working at the end.
The Golden Age has started as confirmed by Dr Pillai in one of his Live Guru Purnima sessions. He just consecrated in his fire ritual centre The Seven Saptarishis statues They are actually our forefathers. They are represented as seven bright stars in the Big Dipper constellation. Their light when brought down to the Earth Plane is auspicious especially in this Golden Age.
As long as we’re seeping into the era of Daisy Edgar Jones SUPREMACY I’m good. I love her and where was her Oscar nomination for “Where The Crawdads Sing”?
Totally agree with your reviews on this. Although, I thought Mark Mancina's score in the original with electric guitars and choral voices was a God-tier score up there with Jurassic Park, and that paired with the growling of the tornadoes in the original gave it suspense and dread and awe. De Bont knew he was making a monster movie - essentially JAWS with tornadoes. It felt inconceivable to be a filmmaker who gets access to a film franchise with that Mark Mancina music as part of the IP and then to just ignore it. Madness.
For the Achana with prayers. Remember to Touch the flame of the lighted lamp and put it on top of your head This is to get the divinity, in this case Babaji, into your body and raise your consciousness. This is Haarti For any flowers they throw at you, catch them and place on your shoulders. Flowers catch the dignity messages from the spaces and they directly transmit to you as a participant of the video For the food offerings, raise your hands to take the food. This is Praasad. This is to mentally enact as if you are taking the food so that you are enriched spiritually. Use your right hand always For completeness sake sometimes they take the water in a pot that has been prayed and sprinkle it towards you with a sprig. You are to catch it and drop on your head. It is not applicable here. The water helps to purify you as a divine being
@badgerfann3618 That was still along the lines of what I’m talking about, I mean something where he goes even further At the same time, it’s Twisters. It’s just a thought
With this Golden Age upon us, although intuitive thinking is stressed straight from the heart where the doul resided, you still need the logical mind to manifest through word formation and sounds ,(different. Or same set of mantras). Then you need to gotm words in your affirmation. Do spinf creates light which in turn gorm words which we utter and project out innrr selves to the outer environment for manifestation. How soon you manifest depends on how evolve you are over many past lives For details and initiation and immersion, you cann participate in Dr Pillai's course. Also to get his blessings.
I had a feeling this movie was going to be rough from the very first scene when one tornado expert says to the other tornado experts "no, overpasses are the worst in a tornado", seemingly only for the benefit of the audience. It is funny that Kiernan Shipka has two films out right now that she's in for only one scene. I'd been defending this as a fitting choice for Lee Isaac Chung's jump to blockbuster filmmaking given the similar setting and imagery to Minari, but I was very disappointed. The romance? Daisy Edgar Jones and Glen Powell's characters don't even kiss once. The score was indeed really strong though.
Hello there is tahar rahim coming with à film called monsieur aznavour he is playing the icon charles aznavour and I think hé deserves to be in you list guys and I think it will be a second win or nomination for french performance since marion cotillard and first for french actor for people who dont know who is charles aznavour he is the french frank sinatra variety annonce that last year it will be realsed 23 october this fall
Everything about this movie looks so corny and like they're trying to bank on boomer nostalgia. Glen Powell's whole "schtick" is trying to replicate an almost obsolete culture of movie star that doesn't exist anymore. I never believed this movie for the Oscars, and I hope Lee Isaac Chung goes back to indies lol
This is such a lazy grasping-at-straws take, why do people keep projecting this agenda onto Powell and the movies he’s in? Oh right, because it’s not progressive enough anymore for a male lead to be handsome and have a mild southern accent
