Watched "Spotlight" for the second since it was released. Really well done.
Movie/film suggestions.
While this is of course a forum for the discussion of all things audio/hi-fi and music, pretty much all of us are also lovers of movies, the enjoyment of which is effected by the reproduction of the sound they contain (with the exception of silent movies 
).
I've been focused on David Lynch movies since his death, but with current events so much a part of our lives at the moment, I plan on re-watching a movie I’ve seen only once, and years ago. That movie is:
The Madness Of King George. Apropos, no?

I couldn’t remember if I had seen that one or not so I did a google and yes, now I remember it. That was a pretty good movie and having Mark Ruffalo and Michael Keaton was a plus. I recently watched American Woman (2018) with Sienna Miller and Amy Madigan. It was a well put together drama with good acting that evolved from a crime/tragedy and was set in a working class town with everyday people somewhere in Pa. (it was filmed in Brockton Pa. and I think I remember Bucks County being mentioned in the movie). The script, characters and plot were believable/realistic and it kept me engaged from beginning to end. |
I don't know if this was already mentioned but Out of the Furnace is one unrelentingly somber take on family, drug addiction and poverty with Christian Bale, Casey Affleck, Zoe Saldana, Woody Harrelson (as one mean villain), Willam Dafoe, Forrest Whitaker and Sam Shepard. It'll drain you. All the best, |
I remember watching Out Of The Furnace, @nonoise . If you enjoy movies with a theme of despair, check out Animals (2014). It is not an action movie and has no big names, but if follows two heroin addicts (Jude and Bobbie) from good families who are living in a car, and what they do to obtain heroin. I wouldn't think it would have taken much of a budget to make this movie, but I thought it was surprisingly well done. There is a scene I remember where the female lead says to the male lead something to the effect of "why would two kids from reasonably good families end up doing this," and the male lead answers something to the effect of, "I don't know babe; why do birds keep flying into picture windows?" (I doubt I got those quotes 100% word for word.) |
