That's why I try to do, leaving my academic grounding in film behind me as much as possible and dealing with quality and entertainment rather than things which are more suited for an assignment than a simple 'yea or nay' opinion.

For example, when talking about La La land, I could have talked about the embrace of artifice, the clear influence of Jacques Demy's Young Girls of Rochefort and Stanley Donen's Singin' in the Rain, for example. The upbeat tone is almost a counterpoint to David Lynch's Mulholland Dr., but I won't get into that!

I should have mentioned the tone setting opening number which was almost like Chazelle saying "This is a musical and these are the rules" so no one is under any illusion about what is to come, such as some audience members with Sweeney Todd when they walked out because they weren't expecting people to sing!

Every time I watch I find something new. Brillant , as you say an absolute classic.

we all give different opinion and tones of the film, some people might go in detail about the characters, other people might say about the story lines, while other just might say what they liked or disliked and why, every opinion different

Eeking out an existence they discover other survivors across the great chasm and head out to find them only to discover them dead at the hands of a band of cannibalistic mutants who pursue them back to their base as a fight for survival ensues.

I got this a year or so back and found it quite decent. I like that its never really explained - it just is, and even the big bad plays by that rule. "What do you want?" - "More".

As cheapo Tesco £3 dvds go, this is a goody.

On this thread, what films you seen, ok i dont write a review in sense of what some people do, or anywhere else, it was a loosely based term, cant think of the word to describe writting about a film other than review. I mean when i wrote about this is england i describe how down to earth the film was it was like watching real life, or when wrote miracle worker, i said the little girl was so convincing you could actual believe she was deaf and blind, whole of what i was trying to get at is it doesnt need to be fully in depth or a huge review, just a brief description of more than if you liked the film or not, And everyone has a different perspective of a film and might give different opinion in different ways, eg i might say i didnt find so so film funny because i felt like they was trying to be funny instead of the jokes coming naturally, but someone else might give a different reason.
Sorry if i misinterpreted in anyway.

It's definitely the way you tell em'. Or your intended co-conspirator just didn't get it in the first place.
