This is the most "Spider-Man" shot ever. Like hopefully that makes sense.

Ugh I even love how it is technically shot with the warm colour grade and lighting and using the lamp to create a back light so that the spidey suit material can pop even more.

Anyways my first post is just me gushing over how perfect this shot is.

Spider-Man 2 (2004)

Dir. Sam Raimi

Cinematographer: Bill Pope

One Dress a Day Challenge

July: Blue Redux (+ Green Redux)

Vanity Fair / Reese Witherspoon as Becky Sharp

In this scene, Becky discovers that she is bankrupt, nearly has all her possessions seized, and accepts money from a nobleman to pay her bills, getting into an even worse sort of debt.

There's a great writeup of the costumes for this movie at the Costume Vault blog, here. I'll quote a significant passage: "Color wise the designs for Becky center around a very simple idea: the base color for her is red, and depending on her social and emotional state her dresses have more or less red in them. The happier and more comfortable she is, the more red is included within the costume. However, when she is drifting away from her goals or plainly unhappy, her dresses go to darker and grimmer colors." So here, you can see that she is not doing particularly well, being dressed almost entirely in blue--but there is just a thread of red going through it to show that there is still a tiny bit of hope, perhaps.

Her necklace, much like the one worn with her red ball gown, resembles a chain. This is almost certainly also symbolic!

Kung Fu Hustle (2004)

At first, Kung Fu Hustle looks like one kind of comedy: a spoof of period-piece martial arts films. You know the ones. They have these wildly exaggerated villains with demonic martial art skills, heroes with abilities that defy gravity but can only be unlocked once they achieve inner peace - while craving revenge -, a small population of hopeless wretches that need a savior and wild stunts - all of which are taken very seriously. At lampooning this genre, it’s masterful. We get many big laughs. And then, something changes. Suddenly, the movie becomes something else that recontextualizes everything you saw before…

In 1940s Shanghai, the notorious Axe Gang have the police in their pocket and everyone cowering. The only people who escape their attention are those linving in slums too poor to be worthy of their attention. In Pigsty Alley, petty crooks Sing (Stephen Chow) and Bone (Lam Chi-chung) attempt to extort the residents. To their surprise, everyone from the Landlady (Yuen Qiu) to her husband (Yuen Wah) to the tailor (Chiu Chi-ling) to the baker (Dong Zhihua) and the labourer Coolie (Xing Yu) turn out to be master martial artists. Humiliated, the Axe Gang retreats but it’s only a matter of time before they re-appear.

I listed the Landlady and her husband as expert fighters but this might not be the accurate description. This movie abides by its own set of rules, rules that seem to have been inspired by the Looney Tunes. Maybe the Landlord of Pig Sty Alley has super special skills. Maybe it was just funnier to have someone survive a fall from the top floor and shrug off being pummelled by their wife. When characters run, their legs turn into spinny circles with feet on the border. These slapstick laughs are a match made in heaven with kung fu movies. Sometimes, director Stephen Chow goes for the crass and juvenile jokes but most of the time, the writing is clever and subversive. The first scene has Sing attempt to pick an opponent from a crowd to show how tough he is. He keeps choosing someone who could obviously beat him and it's so good.

Kung Fu Hustle leaves you wanting to see more. What I mean is that it contains obvious references to popular film you’ve definitely seen - The Shining, Spider-man, The Matrix Reloaded - and others you haven’t because you’re just getting started with the martial arts genre. You’ll hear a line, you’ll see a detail in the background that makes you go “I bet you that’s a nod to something”. Sometimes, these Easter eggs can come off as the director showing off. Here, it displays a love for movies, an invitation for you to check out other pictures Chow loves so you can come back to "Kung Fu Hustle" and get the joke. You’ll want to, particularly once you see the big revelations this film has in store during the conclusion. You thought Kung Fu Hustle was just a parody but it’s also an homage. It loves the films its referring to and while making fun of them - in a way that’s never cynical - it also is one of those films. There’s so much to like.

If there’s one criticism to mention, it’s the special effects. Several have not aged well and look quite fake. Almost… cartoony. In a more serious film, it would be a big deal. Here? It’s almost part of the joke to have stunts no one could ever do in real life look completely unconvincing. At times, I even wondered if this was deliberate. Probably not but this movie is smart enough that it may have recognized its limitations and found a way to turn them into strengths.

Kung Fu Hustle is consistently hilarious, imaginative, lovingly crafted, thrilling and smart. I didn’t know what to expect going in but it blew me away. (Original Cantonese with English Subtitles, January 1, 2021)

One Dress a Day Challenge

June: Weddings

Bride and Prejudice / Aishwarya Rai as Lalita Bakshi

Lalita wears this tasteful white sari to her friend Chandra's wedding. It looks plain at first but, on closer examination, proves to have quite a bit of subtle white-on-white floral ornamentation.

This scene has several attractive costumes, although most of them only appear onscreen very briefly. I really like Jaya (Namrata Shirodkar) in green--a color possibly chosen to show that she's having a bad time. The outfits for the bride and groom (Sonali Kulkarni and Nitin Ganatra) are very nice as well. Bonus pictures below!
