K Just Watching

K, The obvious beauty of this film was the brilliant story and the rich historical context with complex characters. It pushed the boundaries of friendship towards uncharted territory of it's time. It emitted actions and emotions that we now can label and be proud of. It was just simple live and let live with tragedy and a potent cultural differences of it's era, of course. Though weirdly enough I found my self enjoying the frustration more. The exceptional directing kept me doubting the true identity of Ninny every time she tells the story. Even to the end the identity was still questionable, it was so painfully and beautifully written that I didn't want the movie to end. I wanted more I needed more and that was just the brilliance of the film. It has been over 30 years since this film came out, so to say this was a timeless cinematic is an understatement K.

K, first can we all take a moment and tip our hats to the child actresses Akosua Busia and Desreta Jackson who played Celie for them giving the most seat wrenching lump forming performances ever. I mean I was genuinely moved and very much disgustingly uncomfortable because of how well they played the script. Steven Spielberg just spilled my guts with all of the emotions, I was mad, sad, disgusted, annoyed, happy, amused and in awe with such amazing characters like Nettie, Shug, Harpo and Sofia Oh my Gosh! Sofia, Sofia, Sofia, Oprah was just incredible playing her. Further characters such as Albert played by Danny Glover makes me wanna cry fight someone for just bringing up his name, lol I don't even know what that terminology means but hey, that's how I feel right now. Celie played by Whoopi who which just happens to be her first breakout movie role EVER. I mean talk about starting out with a bang! Anyways this movie was so well done I'm fully terrified and excited at what emotions the book is gonna elicit when I read, K.

K, coming this far in life and have not seen this film is a tragedy, but hey better late then never. This movie never skipped a beat the acting was mind blowing #punintended. Tylor played by Brad Pitt just showed the sheer volume of this man's talent. I mean to say this man's just a pretty face lemme tell ya, those are fighting words right now. I loved how David Fincher used Edwards Norton's character directing the story by voice over, distracting me from the plot twist. The script was so well done and so well played, that you'll know after you've watched that it will stand with all the great's, as one of the BEST psychological films of all time and to say otherwise is again fighting words brah. Its a disturbing intense art piece created not for the faint of heart. This movie set standards as to what psychological movies should be like, it was so ahead of it's time I just feel like a mimic of it would even get rave reviews. Simply put I loved it! K.

Seeing John Malkovich named in the beginning I knew I wasn't going to be disappointed and I can honestly say I wasn't. Same is said for the rest of the cast especially Jake Gyllenhaal. As an A list Hollywood Star I knew he can play any role he picks up, but playing a Gay slightly confused art-critic, who's character is seen in the art world as the mouthpiece of God . Was just a role I never saw coming ( I guess that's what happens when you don't watch trailers lol).  I enjoyed all the mannerisms he incorporated into his character, the walk, the talk, he did it and he did it well.  The crumbling of status and mind shown in the film was talent deserved to be watched if nothing else and the painstaking irony of Death by Art was just simply poetic.  The only downside for ME was that it felt a bit rushed, I wanted a bit more from Deas and how he came about making his hundreds of paintings into vengeful murdering possessive art. Also it felt a bit to many central figures so following characters story was quite impossible. All in all, the body of work bloody amusing I was scared, confused, laughing, annoyed, mad and let's say content in the end basically all the goodies you want in a horror-ish movie... Of course it won't be everyone's cuppa tea, but it was mine K.
