Sweet Salty Corn

Melissa knows film. Matt knows film. Melissa likes the technical side. Matt couldn't care less. Melissa thinks some things on screen don't mean anything. Matt couldn't disagree more. or...Melissa loves visual story. Matt loves the written story. Both love film. This is an ongoing argument.

this holiday season '07

new post new post. after a year and a half....

enchanted: not as candy colored as I would have wanted it. such a cute story, and could amy adams be any more amazing? did she sing? I have to look that up. I loved the way she held her hands and her delicate posture and stance during the move. but as far as the look goes, I know they went for a real movie look. but I wanted more pop in my colors. the best scene, visually, was the musical number in the park. all those people and the dancing and singing, that must have taken time to stage.

lars and the real girl: I loved the bleak colors. so washed out. then all these splashes of pink. the way the camera held on lars when he was dancing at the party, his meekness but joy in that one moment, was my favorite part of the movie. I melted. I really melted. he made me cringe and laugh and want to cry. but the best piece was when he gave mouth to mouth to the teddy bear, again, I melted. ryan gosling did such a good job of protraying someone so detatched, yet so caring. I also appreciated the coldness, with the color palate and at times odd angles you could feel the chill of living in the north.

beowulf 3d: yeah, I saw that. in 3d. what I hated. the yelling! the movie was so fucking loud! it hurt. it hurt my ears. I loved the gold in color palate. the golds and reds. so rich. I liked the 3d. I was very wary about seeing things coming at me. I get lost in imax movies and ovewhelmed. I didn't want to be overwhelmed. and I wasn't. I liked it. I did.

gold compass: so so pretty! so pretty! the animation! daniel craig! golds and silvers. so very cold looking. the green and gold of the college lyra was at. the sets. the kids. the animals!! I'm a sucker for animals. maybe I'm not the most unbiased. I liked. I really did. I was intrigued. I didn't get bored. I didn't thing it was teaching me to be an atheist. I appreciated the fantasy and new worlds. the accents. snow :)
