      I'm not a movie person, I personally prefer episodic series as they feel more well paced and adapted.
      However, even if it doesn't count, Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway was a visually and aesthetically incredible movie, one that tells the story of a leader of an insurgency trying to carry out an assassination plot, without killing anyone he aims to, and throughout he sees the views of those he aimed to inspire, planting the seeds of doubt in his mind as he ponders if the image of the future he wants is truly what the people want.
      It's an animated film as to me personally, live action movies are fundamentally flawed in their visual and story telling aspect without large aid from CG and 'fix it in post' edits that are meant to allow live action to match 2D animation. There are obvious exceptions, but as the years go on the exceptions get fewer and fewer

      I really dug several foreign language films, including The Hand of God, Titane and the vastly underrated Benedetta. However, my new favorite coming of age film is also my pick for best of 2021: Licorice Pizza.

  • @SteveChiverton
    @SteveChiverton 2 года назад +32

    I loved The French Dispatch but thought throughout that Wes Anderson was definitely channeling his 'inner Jodorowsky'! Which when you prefer the 'artistic' slant to what goes on the screen is no bad thing!
    As for Dune that long run-time felt afterwards like 10 incredibly immersive and sumptuous minutes! As a fan of the book [first read in 1978 and re-read at least 15 times since] I could not believe how accurate and faithful the film stayed, plus the visuals were stunning, the artistic design was quite incredible.

    Nope. Watching movies by myself is infinitely better than watching in a theatre. I'm free to express myself without wondering if I'm disturbing someone or embarrassing myself. I'm free to pause to take a piss or get more snacks. I'm free to rewind and rewatch in order to fully grasp something I think I missed. Sometimes I pause for days in order to collect myself or think through what I've seen so far.

    Really great list thank you, I appreciate hearing about films outside the anglosphere which I don't hear much about!
    I would say The Green Knight is definitely in my top 10 though. Dev Patel is such a national treasure in Britain and its great to see him getting bigger roles. The script is genuinely so original and every shot looks like a painting. Plus the film is a masterclass in how to use digital effects to enhance fantasy without losing the realism. I thought it was great! :)

    As someone who’s not the biggest Nic Cage fan, I really loved Pig. It was such an odd, surreal and emotional movie. I actually got a little teary eyed toward the end.
    I also loved Titane. It went from being disturbing to being oddly wholesome.
    Tick Tick Boom was a pleasant surprise for me. I wasn’t excited about it because I wasn’t sure Lin Manuel Miranda would be a good director, I was over big actors getting cast in musicals, and I hate Rent so had no stake in this semi-biographical musical about the creator. But it was so good on all fronts.

  • @KyroEmeraldblade
    @KyroEmeraldblade 2 года назад

    Great list!! Definitely some similarities to mine, however my favorite film of the year has to be “A Hero” directed by Asghar Farhadi. Naturalistic and reserved yet ten tense and morally ambiguous. Truly captures the contradictions of the human condition like no other film I’ve seen. In this story no one is truly to blame yet by the end no one is left unscathed.

    Great selection (maybe I disagree with Dune in first place), but man... 2021 was a very good year for cinema. Here are more films that i loved from this year:
    -Sin señas particulares, de Fernanda Valadez.
    -Noche de fuego, de Tatiana Huezo.
    -Una película de policías, de Alonso Ruizpalacios.
    -Lamb, de Valdimar Jóhannsson.
    -Madres paralelas, de Pedro Almodóvar.
    -The last duel, de Ridley Scott.
    -Shiva baby, de Emma Seligman.
    -Memoria, de Apichatpong Weerasetakul.
    -Mad God, de Phil Tippett.
    -Petite maman, de Céline Sciamma.
    -Los Mitchells vs Las Máquinas, de Michael Rianda.
    -Inside, de Bo Burnham.
    -The card counter, de Paul Schader
    -Wrath of man, de Guy Ritchie.
    -Censor, de Prano Bailey-Bond.
    -Evangelion 3.0+1.0 (this is a personal one, it´s not the best, but it was special for me as a fan).
    And maybe not from past year, but they came to México in 2021:
    -Los lobos, de Samuel Kishi
    -La llorona, de Jayro Bustamante.
    -Lux AEterna, de Gaspar Noé.
    -Saint Maud, de Rose Glass.
    Days, de Tsai Ming-liang
    I hope to see soon Licorice pizza, The tragedy of Macbeth, Nightmare alley and Belle. And i think the honorable mentions deserved to be in the top. xD The power of the dog, Annette and The green knight are veeeery good. Specially The green knight.

BUT the Sailor Who Fell...' is very much more powerful. Largely forgotten but to my mind a far better telling of the story.

      Oh come on, be mindful. You have insulted great films so carelessly. Making arthouse films is hard since the profit motive and the production is high. Also, Dune is a mainstream arthouse film. I am happy that you enjoyed the film. I watched it and didn't feel a strong "wow". The politics of Dune and the visuals are so fun to sit through, the characters can feel a bit detached from normal human beings despite this, the reasoning is outlined and you can feel sad for Paul's circumstances. I am a Villeneuve fan. He is great and he commits to his vision. I admire him for that. Personally, the reaction is over done and I think it's because of the pandemic. I really wanted to love the film but it's ok.

    Dune and NWH were fucking garbage carried by its high profile.
    The only "good" thing about Dune is that they took the concept art and put it on screen because the cinematography past these specific shots was pitiful at best. Wow, so impressive! Besides that, the only reason Dune wasnt as bad as NWH is because it gets carried HARD by its source material because the acting and delivery of what was supposed to be the SEVERAL important moments of the movie were so bland and unimpactful it felt like I had taken an adderall smoothie before going in. Soundtrack was also SHIT unless you have never heard the concept of "BUÓÓÓÓÓÓÓNNNN" every time a character looks at something large before.
    NWH tho... Man, if you take the artificial hype and absolute NASTY amount of fanservice out, it's a movie so bad it doesnt get more than a 6 if you catch it halfway through on a backwater TV channel while you're bored out of your mind 6 years after it originally came out. NWH was like a cake but there was no cake, it was just icing, but not good icing either, just the WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too sweat type that leaves you so tired of it you can't take a third bite.
    The fact that Dune and NWH made top 100 in IMDB just shows why cinema is so garbage today. Any ignorant will take cheap fanservice and artificial hype and reward the ones responsible for it even though nobody's gonna even wanna remember these dog shit movies barely half a decade from now.
