      Yeah I was very hopeful for Bladerunner as well, I dearly love the first one but I feel like Arrival is stronger overall. So I was disappointed when Bladerunner underperformed, but something about it being a self-contained story wasn't so worrying. This with its previous mal-adaptions and the weight of a part 1, 2 and possible Dune Messiah and more riding on its shoulders made me worried about the box office as well.
      I was never all that concerned that Ridley Scott didn't really capture the tone of Philip K. Dick's book, but Villeneuve seems very tapped into that tonal aspect, which resonates very strongly with me. The sentimentality of a piece. So Philip K. Dick has an important message about humanity, modernization and surveillance, while Dune has immense things to say about systems of control, destiny, responsibility, masculinity and femininity. So I feel like this message is desperately needed for our culture and I want to see arthouse thrive in a semi-blockbuster environment. It's not just dumb action movies that should be made, but ones like this with powerful messages.
      To me, Quentin Tarrantino and Denis are two very different sides of the same coin. Both trying to deliver a stunning cinematic experience and both have immense appreciation for reference and source material. But where Quentin goes over the top, stylish, witty and both reverent/irreverent, Denis goes for the subtle, elegant, human and jaw-droppingly gorgeous. So I want Denis to get cemented in Hollywood and able to make whatever he wants in the same way that Quentin is.

It's hard to see his acting skills independently from his charisma, though. Not that I question his acting skills (just look at how different he seems from his characters irl, almost shy), it's just hard to separate them, because his charisma is INSANE.

    Timothee is very gifted, every scene he nailed perfectly. (The distress and tone when he was in the tent, the acceptance and embrace of his path at the end) can you imagine if he got Spiderman?! Feiges loss, Holland is more of a marvel mould, timothee can add nuance and I cannot wait to see his career for the next 10+ years!

    • @perrycarters3113
      @perrycarters3113 Год назад

      Honestly, I think Tom Holland is a great MCU Spider-Man. He's better at the light-heartedness stuff, I think, than Timothee would be in the MCU, though obviously Timothee's absolute command over his face would have made him better at the dramatic moments.
      Timothee is probably the overall better actor, but I think Tom was a better fit for that particular role.

This man is a complete and underrated genius behind the camera. Such amazing vision and ability to express it. And his comments I e heard on other videos that state he tries to pay homage to the source material and the original vision of the author are what make him a truly phenomenal director. How he does exactly that and still adds his own shape to these projects is masterful.

      It's a crime it had to come out right now. I've been a huge fan of the books since I was a kid, I personally loved the 80's movie despite the serious flaw; thought Chamalet was a great choice for Paul, at least in looks, visuals in trailer looked stunning, and everything I've heard make the cinematic experience incredible. But I'm just not ready to be in a closed room with more than a handful of people. So I saw it at home. It probably lost a lot. Because it was good, but not amazing.
