Sur un air de Charleston (1927)
Surreal and fun
This short film will let you puzzled as it's totally surreal and doesnt seems to be deep at all.
The visual effects are quite dope for its time and the chemistry between the actors great. Plus it made me discover Johnny Hudgins which had a great charisma.
Its difficult to had anything more to the review cause it's a really short film so here is a quote from the French journalist Simon Linguet, in 1763, published a description of wage slavery:
" The slave was precious to his master because of the money he had cost him ... They were worth at least as much as they could be sold for in the market ... It is the impossibility of living by any other means that compels our farm labourers to till the soil whose fruits they will not eat and our masons to construct buildings in which they will not live ... It is want that compels them to go down on their knees to the rich man in order to get from him permission to enrich him ... what effective gain has the suppression of slavery brought him ? He is free, you say. Ah! That is his misfortune ... These men ... Have the most terrible, the most imperious of masters, that is, need. ... They must therefore find someone to hire them, or die of hunger. Is that to be free?"
Only God Forgives (2013)
Aesthetic and story telling masterpiece
It's my favourite movie, I must have seen it more than 30 times.
This movie is not made for everybody, it's violent, there's almost no dialogues, you have to read the pictures to understand the message (which is quite simple actually), but that's what makes it so good! It's a movie that you don't watch but read.
Add the fabulous performance of all actors, the magistral pictures, the beautiful and always on point musics and maybe the best fighting scene of any movie ever, and you have this master piece.
And of course you can relate with the classical "he's literally me" while watching Gosling doing his thing.
Don't expect everybody to be sensible to this movie, for the reason of being too much sensible.
