Some recent film type thoughts
May. 7th, 2019 07:21 pmWe watched Mary Poppins last night (of which more anon) so am feeling inspired to discuss some of the last few months cinematic offerings.
First Man: Interesting story, amazing in-rocket scenes. I know some folk found these loud and jerkily filmed but for me they effectively conveyed what it must be like 'sitting in a tin can'.
Bohemian Rhapsody: Stunning. Rami Malek gives such an extraordinarily nuanced performance. Freddie Mercury could have ended up as a bit of a comic grotesque but he was in safe hands in this film.
Green Book: Once I got over the state Aragorn had got into, I found this an immensely satisfying film. Not the type I usually go for, but I had to see what had won the Oscar ahead of BoRap. I can see why this edged it.
Mary Poppins: such a lovely homage to both the original and the other Disney films of the 60s. Thank you, Lin Manuel Miranda for producing a half-way decent London accent. We still can't forgive Hollywood for Dick Van Dyke's Bert, but you've gone some way to redeeming the situation.
