i got to see an advance screening of Saltburn and it was a fun romp. i also went into it knowing nothing, and i think thats the best way to go into this movie. even though i wish the story had gone in a slightly different direction, the performances and cinematography were so amazing it's one i'm still thinking about too. i really loved the uncomfortable sensuality of the film and i appreciate the witer/director for going there. and tbh probably any movie can be improved with a little full frontal nudity
I got to watch it at a film festival (camerimage) last month only knowing only that a couple cinematographers said it was great so I didn't even know what genre it was going to be. I had an amazing time with it! I don't think it has much depth but it's great fun and it's messed up and it looks amazing. It's like you make a gross-out comedy but actually with a lot of artistry.
Really confused why people always want to crap on Tim Burton's version of Wonka, it is by far the version most accurate to the book and the child actors are infinitely better than the ones in the older film trying to share a screen with Gene Wilder and failing miserably. I get it, Gene knocked it out of the park, but Johnny Depp is no slouch either, and finds the right middleground between childlike whimsy and psychological dysfunction.
@@axolotl1777 Well, these reviews by Ralph just seem crap. Just a nothing-video. 'Christmas came early' for a four-minute review over some standard montage footage, it is just not that impressive.
Saltburn was uhm...fine. Good performances and dialogues, pretty visuals too. I was kind of underwhelmed towards the end though as they were trying too many things and they all felt half-assed.
Yeah. This is pretty much how I felt. It took itself too seriously and seemed like it didn't know what it wanted to be. Oliver's character felt very inconsistent to me. Why did he do all of the stalker shit regarding Felix if he just wanted the house in the end? And that montage of him scheming felt so unnecessary. This one peaked my interest towards the beginning and then completely lost me by the end. I've heard people talk positively about it and I still can't understand the hype. Even my gf, who is much less critical than me, didn't like it haha
One thing I do like about Tim Burton's take on the Wonka story is that it's very faithful to the book, but it can't beat the charm of the original. Gene Wilder will always be the best Willy Wonka
Your review of Wonka is confusing considering the piece stands completely against the origin of the material.. and that the Tim Burton film fits more in line with the original story, it is meant to showcase the hypocrisy of the market capitalist, who is so blinded by selling people dreams that society neglects the needs of the people it is meant to serve.
@@user-NameName IT’S LITERALLY BEING TALKED ABOUT IN THE VIDEO!!!!! It’s not like he went on a tangent about Tony Robbins in a video about Power Rangers.
@@VulKus117 also, just to be clear, I wasn’t insulting you or anything. I was simply saying we have different opinions and that that’s what I like about art. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Wonka would be better if it was a streaming film rather than a theatrical release. It looks fine enough but definitely not something you should run out and pay for.
I just cannot believe that Wonka is even a decent film. I usually think Timothee Chalamet is the worst part of every film he's in and that he's just a wannabe Johnny Depp. Literally trying to copy him. Hearing a 7/10 from you is wild.
I saw Saltburn ages ago. I'd give it a 9/10. I love how sick and depraved and dark it is. It really goes all out. I didn't look away from the screen or anything, I guess I'm just desensitised to depraved, kinky shit from all of the other, even more depraved, movies I've seen at this point 😆
EVERY film adaptation of the story/stories is a thinly veiled reference to theosophy and the "CAKES OF LIGHT" etc. Just think about the original title.
I could have sworn wonka was played by a lady, not as any kind of insult, I guess I just looked super hard from the corner of my eye when the trailer showed up as an unskippable ad
“lighthearted, and family friendly” That seems like a pretty obvious statement, but remember the last Wonka remake was made by David Cronenberg and Charles Manson
The thing with Wonka is, even if it may be good, it's just nothing we needed. That's why it still feels underwhelming, you know pretty much exactly what to expect. Also while the Johnny Depp version was different, that one is actually based on the book, with Wonka being a bit childish. It feels dark at times because Wonka is supposed to be a bit naive, not noticing how messed up some things are. Gene Wilders original was not a good adaptation, luckily that isn't too unknown nowadays
Could you please review that recent movie that was produced by the Obamas? The name is _Leave the World Behind._ Maybe I'm the outlier, so I'm eager to hear other people's take on it.
Timothee Chalamet lives a life where , giving the people what they want, is playing Willy Wonka must be quite a trip I look forward to seeing his take on the Oncler
I liked salt burn until it made Oliver a mastermind killer, should have ended after Jacob elordis character dies cuz after that it felt like it went on forever and got dumb
Not to knock Timothée Chalamet's acting or anything, but at the point where he says "absolutely insane?" his expression _really_ reminds me of the Nicolas Cage crazy face from Vampire's Kiss. My biggest hope for this movie is that it will give us some spicy memes and then fade into the aether like Morbius.
problem is.. most people are so braindead now becuase of the poison in the water we drink that we have become a shallow 2D representation of what we should have been that we can either make it dark like Tim Burton or light like this krap and completely missing the fact that the original was neither light or dark it was its own vibe.. it had its own unique presentation and execution.. which was satirical.. unnerving.. joyful.. dark.. light.. and 10.000 other things hidden in subtext SUBTEXT IS COMPLETELY MISSING FROM TODAY'S MOVIES! TO THE POINT WHERE IN GUARDIANS 3 A CHARACTER LITERALLY SAYS "GOOD TO HAVE FRIENDS" which reminded me of Oscar from The Office, saying almost the same thing, while trying to force friendship with Michael to get new copier or chair. people dont know how to make movies anymore.. because people no longer exist. which means crtics no longer exist.. cause everyone is too scared to be honest.
