Review : Reminiscence (2021)

I’ve never been the biggest Hugh Jackman guy, and I don’t really ever step into a “from the creators of” situation with much optimism when it’s television writers presenting a film project.  Apparently, however, when Westworld is the television property, I will shed all of that aside and make the time to check out the film, hence my exploration of Reminiscence, the neo-noir science-fiction brainchild of writer and director Lisa Joy.  

Lisa Joy and company set up a very dense, thematically rich concept in the way that time is presented as a mechanism for escape and protection.  On a functional level, this is presented in the way that Miami has transitioned into a nocturnal town due to the dystopian combination of heat swells and extreme inland flooding, while the entire mechanism of investigating memories while selling people personal nostalgia on the side provides an emotional entry point for this theme.  With memory naturally being subjectively objective, it is interesting to see it presented as an analytical tool for uncovering mysteries, as if our record of experience is like a literal hard-drive that can be explored by those with the proper skill set.  This idea is really driven home by the way that false, fabricated or potentially incorrect accusations send those being examined into a sort of epileptic shock via an inability to recall non-existent data, or how a person can literally become corrupted like a file if singular memories are revisited and reexamined too deeply.

The only real knock against this film would be the way that it brings other films into mind, be it through homage, parallel thinking or sheer coincidence.  With memory and the investigative aspect being so prominent, this film is most likely to be held up in comparison to Inception, but the slippery slope of the dark investigative rabbit-hole seems to be a clear nod to the narrative power of Chinatown, which becomes an even more obvious comparison point once you take into account the way Mae inserts herself into the story only for it to ultimately lead us to the Sylvan family.  While the disappearing girl trope is not new at all, aspects of this disappearance bring Under the Silver Lake to mind for me (though this may be better attributed to how much I love that film).  Both the color-grading and the look of the world seem to read like a water-logged version of Minority Report.  What we really experience with Reminiscence is a film with strong ideas and occasional strong execution of said ideas, all within the framework of familiar constructs that do much of the work needed to sell those ideas.

The actual star of this film is the production design and visual effects, complete with a breathtaking opening sequence that illustrates the somewhat uniquely dystopian setting of Reminiscence as a world overrun by nature in the form of water.  The way that night and day are flipped creates a strange uncanny valley reality where traditional noir aspects of a criminal underworld, the dredges of society, drug addiction, corruption and violence are all played out in our daytime hours, while the run of the mill aspects of life take place at night.  Some of the fight choreography and gunplay leaves a bit to be desired, as most of it reads specifically staged for the cinematography rather than sculpted by stunt coordinators.  The technology for the memory investigations is visually intriguing in its variety, specifically when the machinery that Nick and Watts used is compared to that of the District Attorney’s office.  The hierarchy of the world is presented pitch perfectly, with the disparity between the haves and the have-nots literally separated by higher ground versus those literally and symbolically drowning.  The writing is impressively layered, with the mixture of the three main storylines all beautifully balanced and serving one another to great effect.

Hugh Jackman stepped up to the plate in order to embody the persona of a man obsessed, and did so with the necessary mixture of dignity, skewed righteous indignation and deep attachment to pull off a hardened man who is irreparably scarred for his moment of vulnerability.  Thandiwe Newton channels deeper into that hardened and haunted energy, bottle in tow, with a fierce dedication to Jackman’s Nick that causes trust issues grown out of an overprotective and slightly judgmental nature.  Rebecca Feguson steps gracefully into perhaps the most difficult role in the film, as she has to oscillate between shades of seductive, deceptive, drug addiction, threatening, threatened and heartbroken, sometimes at the drop of a hat and all within isolated sequences.  Cliff Curtis steps out of his usual suave roles to play the heavy to great effect, serving as one of the major examples of the corruption and exploitation that has taken over the world of Reminiscence.  Daniel Wu takes a marginal-sized supporting role and makes it shine with his bravado and cockiness, while key appearances by Marina de Tavira, Angela Sarafyan, Mojean Aria, Brett Cullen and a few others help fortify the emotional rich performances of the cast.

All in all, Reminiscence is what it is... not the best and not the worst.  It’s a bit on the long side, and though it may sound like derivative criticism, shaving 15 or 20 minutes of the repetitive portions of the film would give it a bit more snap and narrative thrust.  It’s also funny that the connection to Westworld is so prominent within the film, almost to a distracting level.  I think this stands as a stellar streaming release, but I feel like the film wouldn’t hit the same in a theatrical run outside of our currently pandemic-impacted world.

Next up for #AsianPacificAmericanHeritageMonth is Sunny and his son Henry from Into The Badlands—one of the best martial arts tv shows ever produced. The fight scenes were absolutely brutal, had fun wire work, and were raw, natural, and exciting. It’s set in a post-apocalyptic world that has reverted to a feudal system of government where technology is scarce and swords and daggers have replaced guns. The show follows Sunny (@thatdanielwu), a warrior with a mysterious past, as he fights for his family’s freedom while uncovering a mystery that may be responsible for the fall of the old world. Sadly the show ended after 3 amazing seasons, but the entire series is available to stream and is absolutely worth the watch! #apahm #aapi #aapiheritagemonth #intothebadlands #intothebadlandsamc #danielwu #sunny #sunnyandhenry #intothebadlandssunny #clipper #martialarts #martialartstv #martialartsshow #aapionscreen #asianhollywood #intothebadlandsfanart #sunnyfanart #fanart #digitalart #artistssupport_feature #artshoutout_gallery #yourartsupporter #das_4u #lovesupportartists (at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPV9ZsuDVAo/?utm_medium=tumblr

TV: Tilda

El de la serie “Into the Badlands” (2015-2019) es un mundo distópico, postapocalíptico y, por lo tanto, cruel. Muy cruel. El mundo que conocemos se ha quebrado y el poder recae en feudos dominados por barones, quienes cuentan con ejércitos propios llamados clippers.

En principio, la historia tiene como protagonistas a Sunny (Daniel Wu) y MK (Aramis Knight), un clipper y un joven extraviado en busca de algunas respuestas y de un sitio paradisíaco, mítico, llamado Azra. Pero pronto surgen ramificaciones que muestran hasta qué punto la lucha por la subsistencia o el incremento de poder político y militar es capaz de llegar. 

La adolescente Tilda (Ally Ioannides) es una protegida de la baronesa conocida como “La Viuda” (Emily Beecham), a quién llama “madre”. Adoptada desde pequeña, Tilda es su mano derecha: aguerrida, ágil, casi invencible, y muy devota a su “madre”. Surge una relación con MK que se convertirá en intensa hasta que las circunstancias los separan y Odessa (Maddison Jaizani), que lucha en el mismo bando, toma ese lugar afectivo en la segunda temporada.

Top 30 Movies of 2018 #26 - Tomb Raider It took 15 years to get a new Tomb Raider movie. There was a lot of talk, a lot of failed starts. After the Ex Machina and The Man From UNCLE Alicia Vikander was named but I didn't believe it was going to happen until I saw the news article stating Daniel Wu had been cast. Alicia Vikander is miles better than Angelina Jolie in the role but I felt the filmmakers were trying to hard to be as close to the recent video games as possible. The scene on the boat felt like a difficult level that was going to take me several tries to get through. The movie was fun and with $274M against a reported $90M budget, they might have made enough money to make a fourth, if Paramount doesn't fold. #tombraider #laracroft #aliciavikander #danielwu #angelinajolie #paramountpictures #manfromuncle #exmachina #videogames #top30of2018 #top10 #top30 #top10list #toptenlist #topten #bestof2018 #bestof (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtMBifeAwwo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18bazcl972blp

This is the 3rd time I'm posting because it's not appearing on my profile. Apologies. ⚔️ I know this is a post from back in May, but honestly I don't mind sharing this, because it means the #badlander chatter is still going on! ⚔️ Fans and I haven't stopped supporting the series since it ended and we're really hoping it gets picked up elsewhere; doesn't have to be Netflix but another network/streaming service will do! ⚔️ There's still so much to see from our favorite characters like Moon hunting/searching Cressida in revenge for killing Lydia, Sunny coming back deadlier than ever with his powers while searching for his son, and so much more! ⚔️ And if it does get picked up/renewed for season 4, I wonder how many of the original cast will return? Some have moved on to bigger/better projects! ⚔️ So come on, #intothebadlands fans...keep up the fight to #savethebadlands ⚔️ #intothebadlands #danielwu #shermanaugustus #emilybeecham #allyioannides #alfredgough #milesmillar #Badlander #badlanderforever ⚔️ @intothebadlandsamc @thatdanielwu @shermgus @emily_beecham @allytheninja @miles_millar @goughalfred @lewistanofficial (at Silverado Ranch, Las Vegas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3154tznOTM/?igshid=o5w5jcsbjtir
