Isabel: Will you deliver Spain from bondage?

Tomas Verde: Upon my honor and my life.

Isabel: Then you shall take this ring to remind you of your promise.

[hands him the ring]

Isabel: You shall wear it when you find Eden, and when you return, I shall be your Eve.

[he looks at her]

Isabel: Together we will live forever.

This does nothing to change the horrific and gruesome death that is IMPLIED for Lambert to have suffered. Outside of having her body crushed into a far to small vent.

The entire 3-minute city ambiance scene from Ghost in the Shell (1995) is already one of the best moments in all of cinema imo, but I NEED to talk about my absolute favorite part from it:

That brief moment when Major Kusanagi and a stranger with her exact same body model catch a glance at one another. How quickly the initial curiosity of seeing the doppelgänger turns into a feeling of unease as the boat carries her away.

She will never meet this stranger. She'll never know anything about her other than the simple reminder that every piece of her cybernetic body is not unique to her. There is no part of her other than her brain and all its memories that she has any true ownership of, and even that isn't immune to being hacked and potentially erased by outside forces. Despite being a part of a bustling city, all she can do is reflect on how utterly isolated she feels as a living being.

How can she possibly define her humanity when she herself is confined in the form of what is essentially a highly modified weapon? How can she relate to others when she has more in common with the mannequins on display in a shopping mall than with the any of the people walking the streets?

All of this inner turmoil at one’s own existence conveyed without a SINGLE word of dialogue spoken. Now that's the power of cinema if I've ever seen it!

I love Dev Patel, I love the green knight, but I feel like this is where having a much younger actor or a younger looking actor would have shined. You know that the green knight is going to get up because you know the story and you likely know other fairy tropes and have been exposed to a lot of media with these supernatural entities going down in one hit. This is also why the scene with Arthur asking Gawain to tell him of himself and his deed is important. Gawain doesn't have experience, he doesn't have deeds to his name - in the green night specifically, not sure about the actual legends - so he doesn't have the prior knowledge of what things like the green knight are capable of, he doesn't the experience to temper his restraint, and he's just had his lack of achievements brought to light. He made a calculated decision, and he was bad at math.

Then we see the end of the film and he has the experience of his travels, the knowledge of his future or what he thinks might be his future, and he is alone and unwatched by greater men. There is no one to prove anything to but himself. So he makes his calculated rescission again.

Anyway my point was that this might have been more easily understood with a much younger actor, but then we wouldn't have Dev Patel.

I feel like how dumb Gawain ends up looking in screen adaptations of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight depends entirely on how hard the costume designer goes on the titular Knight. Like, there's a definite point beyond which you've gotta be like, dude, look at him – of course he's gonna get back up.

[cassandragemini]

its so crazy that for the last 5 years a small but annoyingly vocal online group has been acting like mob movies of all things are pretentious and inaccessible cinema. yeah the godfather is kinda slow but these are movies about criminals who shoot people

"It's simple, really, if you're clever. A few chemicals mixed together, injected under the skin of the arm for a month, and flesh and bone just fade away. An invisible man can rule the world. Nobody will see him come, nobody will see him go. He can learn everrrry secret! He can rrrob and wrrreck and kill! NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
