The Last Movie You Saw?

[khoinguyen666]

Past week:

In the Mood for Love and In the Mood for Love 2001. I got to see this in a theater!
Fallen Angels - Lovely visuals and I wish WKW focused more on the hitman rather than the dual narratives

WW2 movies:
The Zone of Interest
Ivans Childhood
Shame

Big Trouble in Little China

 

[eugenius]

"Nowhere" by Gregg Araki. Don't ANY designer ever, ever, ever use this movie for inspo! My teenage dreams would be crushed if I ever saw that.

 

[Kenny]

Valerie and Her Week of Wonders. Great film!

It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley ❤️

Can't recommend enough!. I discovered his music as a teen and entered obsession levels in my late teens/early 20s.. there was no place on the internet or a photo or a bootleg that I had not gotten my hands on and then I studied all of these gems over and over until I knew by heart the entire career of this man lol. I always wanted them to make a movie and kind of resented his mom for gatekeeping and being so litigious about his legacy but now that I've matured, I'm so thankful for that because this documentary is so lovely and well-made and both a proper introduction for those who don't know his music and the answer to many questions + wild assumptions longtime fans such as myself had. I've read most biographies about his life and they all exploit his connection with his father and the way he died and often imply it was a suicide. I'm glad they took nearly 30 years to make this because it's way more layered than that and with more knowledge of mental health now, I guess one can assume it was really an accident that could've been avoided had he not been.. manic.

Also, I've never seen a crowd at a theater so uninterested in leaving when the credits start rolling. They all stayed just to listen the 4 songs that followed the end of the documentary, and I think some people were shedding a tear or two like me. I feel like most fans feel this weird longing towards his music, and at least in my case, frustration that we'll never know all he could've done in music..

I loveddd Weapons!

 

[KoV]

Not usually one for horror movies, but I also enjoyed Weapons. I refuse to believe anyone other than a raging homosexual invented a character like Aunt Gladys.

 

[heyjaded]

Weapons really was so good! Love to see original horror movies making money! Also Julia Garner is so talented, really wish that Madonna movie would happen and with another director

 

[Drusilla_]

The Endless Summer, it's so good even if you aren't into surfing

 

[NakedAndAfraid]

I saw Weapons a few days ago. Reminded me of a Alessandro Michelle era Gucci fashion campaign with that one character. Too bad that moment has passed so Gucci can't market of off that. Maybe Valentino can try lol.

MDK wow it's been a longgg time

The Magnificent Seven (original 1960 ver.)

 

[Kanzai]

Farewell my concubine, best queer (gay) movie and it's not even close (even more intrigued because it took place in Mainland China circa Cultural Revolution).
Winner of Palme d'Or 1993

 

[chiccestlavie]

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale was absolutely fabulous. Maybe I’m just a sucker for a Noël Coward plot but it was just a great ending to the series.

 

[Kanzai]

Just re-watched "Ran" by Akira Kurosawa, my all time fav of him. Just devastatingly beautiful omfg.

reze

you are the only dead right answer in the world this moment/let's fill this world with mistakes

 

[Kanzai]

The Salesman (2016) by Asghar Farhadi. A mind-blowing film from Iran, crazily good plot and acting.

 

[KoV]

One Battle After Another was fabulous. I'd love to see it again asap.

Amazing that this film was made with the approval and the support of the CCP -- while it would have been rejected immediately by every Hollywood studio in 1993.

(Certain scenes from a movie can haunt you in the most unexpected way that will forever live in your memory as a part of your consciousness. There’s a scene in the beginning of the film where the protagonist, as a child, is sent to begin his life as a castrated performer, and he’s being chased by the old and horrifying creep — lumbering towards him like the living dead, ready to sexually assault him with all the greed of a pack of wolves, and with no consequences. The visuals were horrifying, disturbing, and tragic to see as a minor watching this.)

I first watched this movie about 2 years ago, quite late even though i know Chinese lol. Yeah that was one of the most disturbing scenes i have ever seen, gross af (that creep is not even a hunk or sth attractive yikes). The last 15 minutes were just so brilliantly executed, I feel so bad for the female lead and the protagonist. Leslie Cheung's role in this film almost mirrors his own life (he has been openly gay for a long time). In 2003, he leapt to his death from the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Hong Kong. Insanely talented actor.
Brokeback Mountain is my favorite queer film, but Farewell My Concubine lingers in a different, more haunting way.

I haven’t seen Happy Together by Wong Kar Wai yet, another queer film with Leslie Cheung as the protagonist.

Just got back from a screening of the doc "Chain Reactions" about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Very inspiring!
