Yes, I wear foundation. Yes, I live with a man. Yes, I'm a middle-aged fag. But I know who I am, Val. It took me 20 years to get here, and I'm not gonna let some idiot senator destroy that. Fuck the senator. I don't give a damn what he thinks.

Boyhood (2014) dir. Richard Lantlaker
“Boyhood tells the story of a boy named Mason as he grows from a six-year-old to a college freshman, and rather than relying on makeup, casting, or CG trickery, Linklater actually shot the film over 12 years.”

how i related to a potential serial killer (or a short review on “dismissed”)
"Dismissed" (Benjamin Arfmann, 2017) narrates the quite common, but disturbing story of a regular teacher, who is drawn towards an inexplicable shitstorm after he refuses to give an honor student the ‘A’, he so supposedly deserves. 
rating: ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆

   *SPOILER FREE*
acting.
Dylan Sprouse's return to acting is intense, and spot on. He gives a striking performance, making the whole movie somewhat believable, even with its lack of "good" screenplay. He comes out as incredibly talented in such a "familiar” character as Lucas Ward. On the other hand, Kent Osborne is nothing special when it comes to playing this straight-edge teacher, that could have been much more explored, and toyed with.
screenplay.
Cliché. That's the best word to describe "Dismissed"'s writing. This storyline has been seen a thousand times, and once again, this one has nothing special. The dialogues are over-used, and kind of silly, if we really get into it. The plot follows a very predictable road, but it somehow still manages to become absurd at some points, by adding character reactions, and decisions that make literally no sense. To sum up, the ending felt rushed, and it does not encourage me to watch it again.
score + cinematography (dp).
The music elaborated on the story when it was needed, but it was definitely not a prize-winning score. On the side of cinematography, and overall visual aesthetics, we need to remember it was a low budget movie, and that set some limitations. It wasn't the exact definition of "aesthetically pleasing”, but Mike Testin (DP), landed some very cool close shots in the most dramatic scenes.
direction.
Arfmann pieces together a shitty screenplay, with a decent cinematography, and an amazing acting. The result comes out as way better than I originally expected and as a somewhat interesting thriller, that, even when it's not Oscar-winning, it's not awfully bad either.
personal opinion.
*SPOILERS AHEAD*
I personally found David Butler as a quite immature, and silly character, who fell for Lucas' tricks really easily. His reactions were quixotic and dumb, and he basically acted like an impulsive teenager. Lucas Ward, in opposition, had a deeper role, in which it was easier to see a realistic portrayal of psychopathic behavior, (probably because of the outstanding performance that was given by Dylan Sprouse). This "antagonist" manages, somehow, to paint himself in a heroic light, mimicking Otello's Iago. To sum up, if I were to take sides, I would most definitely stand behind Lucas, as crazy as it sounds. Because he did deserve that "A".

Intro
Hey all, my name is H and I’m a student with a passion for film. Since I can’t find another community to just post my thoughts about film (not just reviews), I thought why not try a tumblr blog! 
So what kind of posts will you see on here?
If it is related to film, its fair game. Reviews, random thoughts, frames, and anything else I can think of.
I’m excited to engage with all of you and hopefully build a community of other film buffs!

Leave Room for Character Development
TL;DR: The less action and the more character development, the more depth a movie has. Through character development and a slower pace, Mad Max: Fury Road could have been an excellent movie.
I watched Mad Max: Fury Road two years ago, and to this day I think about it. The story is one you may have heard before because this movie is a re-exploration of the trilogy released in the 1980s. George Miller directed all four. I haven’t seen the first three, but the fourth, Fury Road tells a simple story of survival and redemption through eight important characters. Imperator Furiosa (played by Charlize Theron) and the Five Wives of the Citadel (a desert fortress run by the dictator-like Immortal Joe) run away into the desert. They hope to find the Green Place, a place of respite and safety, far from the horrors that the post-apocalyptic desert wasteland has to offer. Max Rockatansky (played by Tom Hardy), whom fans know as the main character from the pre-trilogy, only plays a minor part in the escape. He has been captured by the Citadel but finds a chance to escape when Immortan’s men chase after Furiosa and the Wives. The final character is a War Boy Nux, one of Immortan’s men. After many failed attempts to die gloriously for Immortan in a ritual called Witnessing, Nux sees his chance to escape his shame by joining Furiosa and the Wives. Finally, there are the Vulvani, the original wives who Furiosa and her crew find later in the movie. They are rich in culture, and Furiosa seems to know them. With this strong cast of characters, the movie has a potential to be great. However, I found quite a few problems that made the move great instead of the best. There’s too much action which detracts from the story and doesn’t give enough time for contemplation and character development, and the culture behind the movie’s civilization could have been explored more in depth. These two factors would have contributed to the movie by adding a level of richness one can only find in very few films such as Blade Runner. This added level of depth not only brings the film to life, but applies it to our own. Right off the bat, the movie starts with a chase scene. After we see Max captured in the beginning, we are introduced to Immortan’s world through Max’s eyes as he is taken in for processing. Then next scene introduces us to Nux. Through Nux’s account, we hear of Furiosa’s escape. He asks “What is happening?” to answer the audience’s questions (he would know what’s happening, however, since he grew up in the Citadel). We are then introduced to Immortan’s war party as they are sent out to reclaim Furiosa. I believe this scene was weak because it did more telling instead of showing. We hear of Furiosa’s escape and can only imagine what it looked like. It would have been better to have cut to Furiosa and the Wives immediately after Max’s capture because they are really what the movie’s about. Through images, we could have seen Furiosa and the Wives preparing to run. Then we could have seen the Citadel noticing her escape and then the immediate reaction to that escape. We would then be able to establish Immortan as the enemy and Furiosa, the hidden Wives, and the War Rig as main characters. Then we cut to Nux’s scene, minus the “What’s happening?” Nux talks to his driving partner, and we see the Citadel explode into life around them. Through this, we see the culture of the Citadel and how it revolves around engines as well as how central their cars are to their society. We don’t know what’s happened to Max until we see him on the front of Nux’s car. After this first chase scene, their are multiple others. Though they are wonderfully edited and include mostly real special effects instead of CG (thus adding much realism), there are too many. And because there are too many chase scenes, they lose their impact and their charm. Furiosa’s escape suddenly becomes too easy, and by the last climatic chase scene, we know she will win. Furthermore, we aren’t allowed to see Immortan’s side of things, and therefore, we are not afraid of him. Had he been allowed time to develop (for example, it can be seen in one scene that he feels bad one of the Wives dies), he would have become a more realistic, and therefore more terrifying villain. The stakes aren’t high enough, and there is therefore no dramatic tension. Therefore, because there is mostly action, there is not enough time left to develop the characters. There needs to be more distrust between certain characters, and more character development in each separate character such as doubt from Furiosa’s side (an internal conflict between what she has always wanted to do and her position of power to Immortal), struggle with his past from Max’s side, freedom from the Wives, and guilt from Nux as well as a deeper look into the Wives’ culture such as their beliefs or their backstory (perhaps through traditional storytelling). Furiosa trusts Max too quickly. About halfway through, Max sets off to kill an enemy for Furiosa and the Wives and returns. This is the turning point between trust and distrust. However, up until this point, we aren’t aware of the distrust. We see Furiosa watching Max warily (through use of eye contact, which is very well done), but we don’t see her act upon her distrust. Perhaps it is because not enough time was given for this distrust to build (instead replaced by action), but I never saw conflict between Max and Furiosa besides their first meeting, where Max, always fending for himself, tries to overpower Furiosa. From then on, however, she lets him ride in the War Rig with the Wives because she knows he can offer much needed help. Furiosa is too quick to trust Max because she doesn’t know his background and because he is a man. She and the wives don’t have good history with men. And because Furiosa trusts Max, the Wives trust Max, right? I think the Wives are much too independent to follow a single leader. Yes Furiosa does exact a certain power over them, but they are their own people. Therefore, they too would have a hard time trusting Max. Furthermore, Max should be wary of the Wives as well. He knows they’re from the Citadel, and he doesn’t know if they’ll trust him or turn him in. He’s had too much experience in the Wasteland to trust people easily. Finally, Nux shouldn’t be trusted by anyone. He’s not only a man, but from the Citadel. Both parties would be against him. Nux, on the other hand, wouldn’t trust Furiosa because he’d be afraid she’d turn him in to get rid of him. He’d be okay with Max because Max keeps mostly to himself. Furiosa should have had more guilt. She should have been worried about disobeying the Citadel, and therefore should have had more doubt with what she was doing as well as doubt towards trusting Max. Max’s past should have come to haunt him more, thus causing him to slip up and lessen trust between him and the women. The Wives could have enjoyed their freedom more shown through increasing talk amongst themselves. Nux should have also had more guilt (because he disobeyed his Immortan by escaping), indecision (because he is unsure if he should go back or not) as well as other troubles before he transitions to relief because he has changed in terms of character because he assured that what he has done is the right thing. The Wives’ cultures could have explored more in depth through the stories they tell to one another. Max could have brought in different viewpoints and knowledge of the wasteland, and Nux could have brought in information on the workings of the war parties. Mad Max: Fury Road is a masterpiece of editing and special effects, using real-time effects and super-saturated color. But the lack of downtime resulted in a lack of character development which would have contributed greatly to the depth of the movie’s story. By slowing the movie down and decreasing the amount of action sequences, the stakes would be raised higher and the final climatic scene would have been much more tense. And we, the audience, would wonder if those characters we’ve followed all along can win this final battle.
