¿ESOS SON REEBOK O SON NIKE?

Beau Travail is such a beautiful film. So ethereal and dream-like. Touches on themes such as masculinity, the human condition, desire and repression. Denis Lavant stars as Galoup, reminiscing about his days in the French Foreign Legion, his admiration for his commanding officer, and an ensuing, bitter rivalry with a recently arrived private. His performance evokes this uncanny feeling to it that only memories are able to achieve. Undoubtedly my favorite film from Claire Denis. That ending will stay with you for a long time. A true masterpiece and a trascendent achievement of cinema.

End of month update - May

Hello, all! This is the end-of-month update, where I post Tumblr’s current top four films that have received the highest percentage of “yes,” “no,” and “haven’t even heard of this movie” votes.

As of today, the top four films with the highest percentage of “yes” votes are:

Finding Nemo (2003) | Shrek (2001) | Monsters, Inc. (2001) | The Lion King (1994)

Next, the top four films with the highest percentage of “no” votes are:

Sausage Party (2016) | Pinocchio (2019) | Sharknado 2: The Second One (2014) | All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)

This top four changed through the new addition of Pinocchio (2019), which replaced Bonnie and Clyde (1967).

Finally, the top four films with the highest percentage of “haven’t even heard of this movie” votes are:

Like a Cat on a Highway (2017) | Dean Spanley (2008) | Monica and Friends: Bonds (2019) | Monsturd (2003)

This top four changed through the new additions of Like a Cat on a Highway (2017) and Dean Spanley (2008), which replaced Heroic Losers (2019) and Death Trance (2005).

Currently, The Incredibles (2004) is the still the only film to receive absolutely zero “haven’t heard of this” votes.
