Pictured are some of my favorite films directed by women. No two are the same, and all of them capture something fundamental and profound about life. Many of these are films from the past few years, but whether I first saw it in 2021 or 1995, they’ve all made an impression. #cloudatlas #thefarewell #blacklake #thepowerofthedog #strangedays #cleofrom5to7 #outragefilm #awayfromher #lilywachowski #lanawachowski #luluwang @badwolffilms #janecampion #kathrynbigelow #agnesvarda #idalupino #sarahpolley #directedbywomen #femalefilmmakers #womenshistorymonth https://www.instagram.com/p/CqG56fQsTqr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We looooooooooove booktuber Perpetual Pages book and television show pairings.....probably because we watch way too much television!! We wanted to highlight the Sense8 and The We City Became pairing.......not an obvious match, and yet so brilliant. Miguel Angel Silvestre (Lito Rodriguez) 100% gives Manny realness. And we think Tina Desai (Kala Dandekar) and Padmini Prakash would become fast friends as they nerd out about science. Check out _@perpetualpages_ for the full pairing list! What Black & Indigenous science fiction/ fantasy pairings would you add to the list? If you haven't read The Great Cities Duology, it is available at your local #library. Also, we have signed copies.

Great review!

#MatrixResurrections #TheMatrix #LanaWachowski #Matrix4 #Matrix4Review

like wow I can't believe they let Lana Wachowski make the matrix 4

the first 30 minutes of the movie is literally just her standing in front of a blank screen saying "Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you." for like 30 solid minutes

just looking at every redpillcel chud proudboy who appropriated her metaphors and going "fuck you" looking at everyone who took away nothing but bullet time going "fuck you" looking at the world for getting so fucking bad and going "fuck you" talking directly to warner bros and saying "fuck you" for making her make a new one, i can't list everything because my woman went on for 30 solid minutes and did not even repeat a single fuck you it was 30 minutes of solid fuck yous

and then the rest of the movie is a matrix movie in the barest fucking sense at all it is medieval allegory level of a matrix movie okay i'm talking we got characters named Do-Goode and Righte-Living and they're on a quest to find the fabled city Submission-To-My-Lord-In-Adversity medieval allegory level of a movie ok

every FUCKING line every character says is on 3 levels of medieval allegory level no one has a throwaway line that isn't metareferential to the movie itself, the act of watching and judging the movie, the effects the movie had on society vs the effects they had hoped it would have,

characters appearing just to talk to the wachowskis and keanu and the original staff literally saying shit like "i grew up on stories about you, neo, even if you think you didn't change the world how you wanted, it still meant something to us, look at the life we built because of what you made"

like there's literally a new city where machines and humans live together and neo's like "i wanted to end the war entirely :c" and the characters are like "yes, but look at what our side has become at least c: " and like the metalayer is so fucking paper thin this isn't a movie about "what happens 60 years after the last matrix movie" this is "what happens 20 years after we released the last matrix movie in real life no for real"

the villain is LITERALLY and METAFICTIONALLY using neo and trinity to his own perverted ends twisting what their story was meant to be about and forcing them to be together even when they were supposed to be dead and the sequel is them going "well if you're forcing our story to not be over we're going to rebel and make it about what we want it to be about"

the movie literally ends with lana wachowski walking onto screen and dragging david zaslav out of his chair in the WB headquarters and going "hey fuck you for making me make a new matrix movie, fuck you, but thanks for giving me a chance to try to make another big impact again, but still fuck you"

i don't think i've seen a single criticism of the movie that the movie didn't already predict and have an answer for in the movie itself

like there are people who are like "eehh but where was the humanity it was so meta" it's like my dude this is Piers Fucking Ploughman, you aren't watching this to see the continuing adventures of the story, we are well past where the story ended and now we're in full blown allegory town and if the first 30 minutes didn't prepare you for that then honestly buddy you need to go back to 9th grade english

"oooh but neo just uses force push every fight scene" yes it's making fun of you for wanting to be distracted by 20 minute long fight scenes and having neo be so fed up with this shit he just turns on wallhacks and cheats his way through every combat encounter

"uuooo it was so boring" my dude you walked into Synechode, New York and expected a popcorn thriller fuck you

"it felt very unnecessary" i'm sorry did you miss the central thesis of the movie which was "this is unnecessary, why are we being forced to make this, fuck you" ??

look at this revieww

"The Matrix Resurrections" carries on as if it has something important to impart to folks looking to see cats in mirrors and bullets in slow-motion. There is action, but it seems remarkably old-fashioned.

i went to the car wash, and it was just a bunch of nozzles spraying water on my car, what the fuck?

The film also stuffs itself with footage from the earlier films just to remind us – because the public is stupid, right? – that this is the same series but only serving to remind us that this is just the same old, same old but nothing like as good.

imagine going into a movie and missing the point of something so perfectly, it's like

honestly, i don't have a metaphor for how completely fucking DIRELY this idiot missed the entire point of the movie this is incredible, media literacy is fucking dead my dudes, which is also something the matrix 4 spends like 10 minutes of lana wachowski standing on screen on a white background just making eye contact with you going "fuck you. fuck you."

The plot is absurd and largely impenetrable, the visuals just a rehash of a visual style we’ve seen before and any superficial pleasure we might get from seeing Reeves as Neo and Carrie-Anne Moss return as Trinity (and a slightly larger-than-life turn from Neil Patrick Harris as The Analyst, creator of the new iteration of the Matrix) are quickly snuffed out as the film smothers us in a tidal wave of its own smug self-satisfaction and the mistaken belief that we’ll welcome this stuff back into our lives like some long-lost old friend. The Matrix Resurrections doesn’t even try to be metaphysical or pseudo-intellectual, it’s just content to regurgitate a concept quite happily and adequately explored 22 years ago but with absolutely nothing new to offer either narratively or visually. Frustrating, futile, and foolish, The Matrix Resurrections is largely utter guff.

imagine walking into a movie called "I am going to insult you if you fuck this up" and fucking it up and the movie spending 2 and a half hours going "Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you." and going "yeah i dunno it didn't feel very welcoming or friendly for some reason, i don't know if it had anything to say"

the movie literally has executives bring neo and trinity back from the dead and they spend the entire movie justifying their reunion because they weren't supposed to survive or be together again and people out here really be like "but you just gave us neo and trinity again, why did you think it would just work like that?" and meanwhile they're hallucinating because all that's on the screen is keanu and carrie-anne going "fuck you. fuck you. fuck you."

The rehashed story is convoluted, existing under the guise that if you can't follow along, it's because you aren't smart enough to understand.

so you weren't smart enough to follow along, huh? that's okay, art movies aren't for everyone. let's see the rest of your review let's see,

Some of the scenes (and even lines of dialogue) are almost identical to the movie’s predecessors. It’s the same movie with slight changes, much like “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” or “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” and it relies too much on nostalgia and the goodwill of sci-fi fans.

yeah buddy it's maybe not that the movie is too convoluted, it's that maybe you have 0 media literacy and you shouldn't be a film critic. holy fuck is this all it takes to be a film critic? you don't have to be media literate at all?

you guys walked into an art movie that was just keanu reeves, carrie-anne moss, and lana wachowksi standing on a blank screen saying "Fuck you" for two and a half hours, and you half-hallucinated an action movie and somehow came away disatissfied the action movie you were hallucinating wasn't as cool and hip as you had hoped it would be

fuck you

matrix 4 unironically one of my favorite movies absolute fucking masterclass of 300 cuil metalayer infiniteoroborous commentary 1000 years artistic triumph

Cloud Atlas (2012)

I'd much rather see an ambitious film than a safe one. If it doesn't all work, Cloud Atlas takes so many risks you have to admire it.

The film is divided into many storylines with key actors playing multiple roles. In one story, Tom Hanks might be a kind reporter, in another a sleazy, money-grubbing apothecary. Hugo Weaving plays a woman overseeing a nursing home and later, a demonic force in a post-apocalyptic future. Halle Berry is seen as a journalist in 1973, an Asian scientist, and an Indian party guest. Everyone plays different genders, ages, and ethnicities in a tale that explores how people’s actions in the past affect those of the future.

Directors Lana Wachowski, Tom Tykwer, and Lilly Wachowski have made a lot of bold moves with this picture. First, it follows dozens of characters and storylines that aren't connected in obvious ways. A book or movie mentioned in one story might be referenced as inspiration for the actions of another character. Blink and often, you’ll miss it. Next, the idea of reincarnation (a complex one) is made visual by having actors and actresses play multiple roles. Often it’s very convincing thanks to extensive makeup. You won't even realize this person played that certain background role until you read the end credits. There are also times when it isn’t quite seamless (It appears to be much easier to make a white person look like they’re from Seoul than a black woman appear white) but I applaud the effort. One of the best stories is set in a post-disaster, post-apocalyptic world. It's clear the language they speak evolved from English so you can catch bits and pieces of what they’re saying and get a sense of what’s going on, but there are no subtitles and no one "translates" for you.

Cloud Atlas is more than a technical curiosity or an experiment. It's a series of compelling stories. Each could’ve been its own movie. Put together like this, they make a symphony that's a joy to make sense of. This is a thinking person’s movie. The way these stories are connected is not obvious. The way they’ll conclude is not predictable and, in some cases do not end happily ever after. It’s long, but that running time allows you to immerse yourself in the story. By the time you get to the end, you’ve forgotten what was at the very beginning, making it feel like a circle of birth and rebirth that needs to be seen multiple times to be truly understood.

I can’t wait to see what filmmakers and storytellers Cloud Atlas will inspire in 15 or 20 years. Who will be inspired by the brave choices in Cloud Atlas, what ideas and techniques will they make their own? It’s a bit uneven. The tone between the retirement home story varies so much from the horrors of future Seoul that you'll suffer from whiplash. If you’re a fan of cinema or just want to see something different, you owe it to yourself to check it out. Even if it ultimately isn’t the type of film you fall in love with, you’ll hold Cloud Atlas close to your heart for the way it goes all-out. (Theatrical version on DVD, February 3, 2017)

Part of me feels like I have been waiting my whole life for you

"I'm here to cry the tears of twenty years!" I declared to my friend Samiah over text as I showed up on opening night.

Without spoiling anything (it was good to go in not knowing the plot), unexpectedly, the main thing I cried about last night was just that it was over, again. That was how Revolutions had felt, this is it, the last one. In the space of waiting to see Resurrections, I felt something that had died in me was alive again. Each minute of watching was sad because it was closer to being over.

But I was surprised how light I felt when I woke up this morning. Freed. Resurrections showed me unexpected possibilities. I feel like there are unexpected possibilities again.

I also felt like Resurrections looked at 1-3, realized what the most important parts were - what this whole story is really about - and took things just a step further, extending the arc. I had felt like 2-3 were telling a different story, but Resurrections drew a curved line that connected them all. I feel like I understand so many moments from the previous movies better and just a little differently. The way you do when you're older, having been through more of what gives weight to a line like, "Part of me feels like I have been waiting my whole life for you."

2021 me knows with my head that these are possibly oversized feelings to have about four movies, but 2002 me, watching The Matrix for the first time on Channel 5, knew with my whole heart that I had found something very special that I was going to love my whole life, and I have.

So thank you, Lana Wachowski, Lilly Wachowski, Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, the Hardline, and everyone who had a part in all of this. Thank you for the love in this world and all it brings to life.

Com um roteiro raso, com direito a flashbacks a todo instante dos filmes antigos, como se fosse um resumo para quem não viu os primeiros, #warnerbrosstudios esperou 20 anos pra chegar a conclusão que não precisávamos de mais do mesmo! Sem uma cena memorável sequer, como tivemos em cada filme da trilogia clássica, #lanawachowski ainda fez questão de bater na cara da produtora dizendo fazendo sátiras consigo mesma. Uma das conclusões que tivemos é que não precisávamos de um #johnwick num mundo cibernético exageradamente repetido. --- @hatashi_kallangutv -- #kallangutv #kallangunews #matrix #matrix4 #matrixresurrections #matrixmovie #nerdmemes #nerdbrasil #nerdbr #filmeseseries https://www.instagram.com/kallangutv/p/CZB5dp4BMhk/?utm_medium=tumblr

Finally got to see the return of Néo and Trinity last night at our lovely local @westnorwoodpicturehouse Despite the slight overdose of guns, explosions and one particularly corny romantic moment it still held up - the updated story, the pertinent philosophical observations, how it looked both backwards and forwards (the red and blue pills, the white rabbit...) - Well done Lana Wachowski!
