Film Reviews | FILM CLUB

I love it when I have a thought, something occurs to me. I was asked if I’d seen the Oscar nominations, I hadn’t to be fair – I’d forgotten film and the oscars even existed, which is a shameful thing for a Film teacher to do, but I had to many unwanted distractions. The thought was ‘I should watch more films’ film makes me Happy. So I did I got my watch on and I made a list of my fav 50 films. At the time I wanted to rewatch and see how much the films I love have shaped my perception of the world. I was struck by the idea of how love was conveyed and I guess I wanted to better understand that. THEN A & P watched Blink Twice, A had thoughts and I FUCKING love talking film, I’d recommended they watch. I told her about my top 50 films list (Which had turned into a review idea by now) and said she should make a list too, everyones making a list now, all have epic films they love list, just that alone makes my heart happy.  It was suggested we can share from our lists and watch together. FILM CLUB is a GO, Random selection from everyones list on a spinner. FUCK the spinners makes the pick so exciting.

INNIT FUCKING GRAND when an idea leads to such magic x

MY GENERAL THOUGHTS ON WHAT I WRITE FOR A REVIEW BELOW.

These reviews are merely my read, it is not THE read of a film.  Art is presented to me and I interrupt it and the hope is that it makes us think and feel and perhaps understand  the meaning that was implied.  My love of film is in the emotional response.  Film is my therapy, my teacher and my friend and I appreciate the lessons it has taught me and how it has always offered me a safe space to explore my feelings.

SIDE NOTE FOR ALL REVIEWS – People say write evergreen content, don’t include pop culture references but I thought about it and that’s dumb.  My review of this film is of the moment, the moment I’m in and tomorrow the world keeps spinning, situations will change and I will have new thoughts and feelings.  I may see things completely differently and that for me, that is the joy of film, finding something new in something already seen.  It’s a different experience every time because I’m different sometimes in huge ginormous ways and sometimes in small seemingly insignificant ways, but I’m always just a little bit different from who I was before.
