Just finished watching "Elemental" and, while I am not an imigrant's child, I felt Ember's pain more than I expected to.

GO SEE STRANGE WORLD!!!!

Oh my gosh, I went with a friend today, and the two of us were just blown away! The visuals, the music, and THE STORY are just so incredible! There were a lot of pretty funny jokes (although it doesn't take much to make me laugh, so my idea of funny might differ from everyone else's). I know that the character Ethan caused some controversy because he's gay, but anyone who boycotts this movie because of that is a fool, because Ethan was such a sweet and amazing character. This movie covered so many good themes that are important to talk about. It also does good job of providing that classic Disney heart, and I can tell just how much care the crew put into it. Also, this was my first time watching the new Disney 100 logo in theaters, and I nearly cried ... It felt like the beginning of a new era and my inner child was thriving for a few seconds.

what I say: I’m fine

what I mean: in Mulan (1998), during the Bring Honor to Us All sequence one of the women sings “then you’ll see/once we’re through/boys will gladly go to war for you”; then, later on when they’re trying to bust open the entrance to the palace and Mulan arrives saying “guys I’ve got an idea”, the circle closes and the boys follow her with no hesitation, because they’ve seen throughout the movie that she is a good strategist and she’s got the best ideas out of the whole lot of them. They do gladly go to war for her, but not for her external beauty and femininity like the woman intended. This is why that movie is such a masterpiece of contemporary cinema and-

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Review

Hey Folks ADHD be damned and I have a backlog of reviews to do, Sorry. I will try to make it up to anybody that cares. I saw the new Spider-Man and I am excited to talk about it.

Music: I will say that the pop music isn't as pronounced in this one as it was in "Into the Spider-Verse". The music is still really good, primarily focusing on the orchestral score. Of the score I think that it is really good, the various leitmotifs coming in together very nicely over and over again. Every Spider-Person has their own style, Miles' sound is very different from the pop-ish rock of Gwen, or the Indian sound of Pavitr or the punk sound of Hobie or Miguel's more Sci-Fi sound. Every world feels different and vibrant and well done. As a whole it was great.

Plot: The Plot of Spider-Verse this time around is focused more on a Gwen than Miles. The story starts and ends with her story and the story is really the thing at every major beat in the movie that is used to push the plot forward. Gwen feels lost and like she doesn't trust her father and thus runs to Miguel and his "Elite Spider Corps". Funnily enough this time Miles kinda knows what he wants to be and what he wants to do and what he needs to do. While not privy to all the information he shows himself to be fine and his plot involving The Spot being one clearly building to greater heights in Beyond the Spider-Verse. As a whole the movie was pretty darn good and the plot was well done all around. (I avoided too many details so as to not spoil anyone too much)

Themes: The Theme of trust and fate are quite big this time around. Gwen and Miles having issues trusting their families with this huge secret they both have. The Fate of all Spider-People to go through the motions of Losing a love/Gwen Stacy, losing an Uncle, the captain of the police dying etc. All of these ideas being ingrained as necessities to a sustainable UNIVERSE for Spider-People. Fate and Trust both being major themes is interesting as it Critiques the idea that Spider-People need to be the same exact story every damn time. The movie's themes in my opinion are really well done and I enjoyed them a lot.

Overall The movie was really good, the Animation was stellar, changing with every character's world. The Plot was an amazing part 1. I will say that we need to see them stick the landing to get a definitive scoring but as of right now I think it is a 9/10. The only thing holding it back is that it isn't as self contained as "Into the Spider-Verse" was.

( No Spoliers ) my personal review of Nimona. The art style is quite unique and beautiful. The characters have a lot of depth, life, and nuance to them. The story has many layers and depths to it. 15/10 I Absolutely Recommend.

The Sea Beast really said you can do something heroic but still be in the wrong and our history is a false narrative created by the wealthy and wars are not only started by but also continued on for generations by greed and the blood of the people are on the hands of the powerful and it's not enough for only one side to turn the other cheek and big the "bigger person" to stop the cycle, truly the perpetrators need to own up and they need to change and become better than they were in order to stop the cycle.

And also when it comes to the government... they are few and we are many.

Why The Red Turtle Is a Great Watch And An Even Better Rewatch

Before reading this you may want to read the recap of the movie I posted.

Spoilers ahead

This animated movie directed by Micheal Dudok De Wit was co-produced by studio Ghibli and Wild Bunch in 2016, this is a France and Japan based masterpiece that depicts a few things, with a cast consisted of only 5 voice actors (three for the son throughout his life stages and one each for the parent).

It heavily focuses on the circle of life as throughout the film we slowly see our main character (the man) live out his life on the island as well as the stages of growth in the son but also shows how short sighted humans can be as well as showing the beauty of nature.

In my opinion this movies is beautiful, the fact that there's only one word of dialogue throughout its entirety "hey" makes you more emersed while the surrounding sounds make you feel like you're there in that moment with them. there's also the crabs which I believe act as a form of comedic relief as they don't really seem to do much besides play around and give the viewers something to smile and chuckle at.

In Japanese beliefs the turtle or tortoise is a symbol of longevity or immortality which is shown as the man lives his entire life until he dies of old age and the woman returns to her original form and returns to the ocean. She may possibly be immortal herself as she never seemed to show signs of weakness at an old age, her hair turning into white may be to mirror the man's so that he isn't awake that she will outlive him but I'm not sure.

The man also almost immediately starts working on building a raft to head back to civilization without even thinking about the long term like how far he would have to travel and the possibility of having to spend his life on the island.

There were a few things left unanswered like:

Who was the man before the island

How did he get stranded in the ocean

Why did the turtle not allow him to leave

Was it real or a dream

What happened to the son

How did they start the fire on a deserted island

But somehow having unanswered questions makes the movie even more interesting, to me this movie will always be a favorite of mine mainly because of how minimal it is. There's not a complicated plot, the characters are likable, the little crabs always make me smile despite the sad meaning behind the movie, but the things I love the most are the animation style and scenery designs. It really takes "there is beauty in simplicity" to a new level.

Watching Stuff Day 3 - 7/9/2023 - Current Streak: 3

For today's movie, I watched The Iron Giant, which was actually particularly interesting since I had just seen Nimona yesterday and they seem to share a lot of themes and messages. Both are about the dangers of governments and societies meeting anything different from what they consider normal with extreme actions because they automatically see it as a threat/monster without getting to even fully understand the situation or know anything about the person they're directing those actions towards. Because of those assumptions, they end up nearly killing a good person, and then that person shows how wrong they were by sacrificing themself to protect the group that was against them from the damage they were causing to themself while trying to kill them. The message being about how acting out of fear against people different from you because of preconceived notions often causes harm to innocent people and has a damaging effect on society in general. Along with being a critique on extremism in government and the harm/corruption that causes.

Looking at the movie on its own now, visually, it was really good! The animation was very fluid, and there was a lot of great attention to detail in the movements and the various environments/set pieces. There was also effort put into shots, their composition, and their angles. The only gripe I really have about it visually is the movement of the Iron Giant. It's kind of stiff and lacking in motion at times in a way that didn't exactly feel intentional. I understand having it be that way to some degree because it makes sense for a robot to move robotically, but it didn't feel as realistic as other animated robots I've seen. I feel like this is probably because he's a 3D model and the movie was made back in 1999 when there was much less experience with 3D animation and it would've taken a lot more time and budget to refine it all. It's still alright, just noticibly lacking at a few sections. Something that did suprise me though, was how well the shading on 3D objects looked. I think it's helped by the movie having a style with mostly no shading or minimal shading, which allowed it to not have to worry about light and shadow on the 3D parts as much. But even in scenes with more dramatic lighting and a light source on the models, the shading still looks like it properly fits in and matches the style. It honestly matched better than some much more recent productions I've seen.

As for the plot, I thought it was handled really well! The choice to set it in the 1950s America really fit what it was going for with its message. It was a time where the US was especially on guard and fearful of anything foreign or different, as demonstrated with Mansley's character who always acted to extreme degrees trying to claim that it was all for the good of his nation.

As for its characters, they were fairly simple, but were very effective because of their execution and dynamics with each other. It really sold me on the friendship forming between Hogarth and the Iron Giant, which added to the tension and feelings of distress towards the end when all of that is threatened. And it made sense for these bonds that were made to be the catalyst for the Iron Giant to choose to be peaceful. Hogarth's kindness and friendship was a large part of why the Iron giant chose to be a good guy despite what he was built for. Hogarth represents the good of humanity and how it can be understanding and worth protecting, which is why the Iron Giant ultimately decides to protect them all in the end.

While I'm talking about characters, I would be remiss not talking about Dean. He was a real one. He had only barely known Hogarth and was willing to shelter him and the Iron Giant for bit without snitching. He made sure to protect Hogarth when the Iron Giant's auto-defense was acting up. And when he realized that it was just the auto-defense he was immediately remorseful for how he responded to him.

Overall, a great movie and I'm glad I watched it.
