Who is this character, who's family suffered from the hands of lawless criminals, and who wanders the nights in search for some of those criminals, to have his revenge? Who is this character, who is a wealthy gentleman during the day, while the "vengeance" itself during the night? Batman? No... it is Paul Kersey played by
Charles Bronson in a
Michael Winner 1974 film
Death Wish.

While
Brian De Palma was making
Carrie ( as a part of his
Alfred Hitchcock imitation films ),
Alfred Hitchcock himself was making his last picture
Family Plot, where he used the composer from
Steven Spielberg's
Jaws John Williams for the score. De Palma, probably knowing Williams through Spielberg, decided to mess around with Hitchcock himself, making a sort of yet another
Carrie ( a film about people with superpowers ) but this time hiring John Williams himself for the score. And weirdly enough ( while Spielberg was finishing
Close Encounters and starting
1941 where his camera sexually obsessed over De Palma's GF at the time
Nancy Allen ) De Palma hires Spielberg's girlfriend at the time
Amy Irving for the lead role.

The 1970s are an interesting time when it comes to cinema history. It is the time after
the code was changed into the MPAA rating system ( allowing more violence, nudity and harsh language on the screen ) and yet before new blog-baster Hollywood was born. 1976's
Carrie by
Brian De Palma was already released after the 1974
Steven Spielberg sensation
Jaws. But still before
George Lucas broke the planet with his
Star Wars. Everybody knew the movies were intense at that time. Some of the most depressing shit came out at the 1970s. And with it, there was also
Carrie. A psycho-sexual revenge-tale about child-abuse.

Snake Eyes 1998 is De Palma's attempt at restoring his Hitch spirit

Watching the opening scene of
Brian De Palma's 1998 film
Snake Eyes makes you realize that this motherfucker is trying very hard. We have 13 minutes of
Nicolas Cage running around a very crowded set. The scene is clever with its camera, giving us multiple layers of exposition in the same time. Like there could be a TV on the foreground and Cage on the background. And they seem unrelated at first, but the scene establishes most of it's plot details right in this very shot. And then the shot ends ( 13 minutes later ) at the exact moment, the script drops the "inciting incident". De Palma is really trying hard to direct the shit out this movie.

Polisse 2011 is the greatest "fuck you" in the history of French cinema

Maïwenn Le Besco's 2011 film
Polisse tells a story about a "child protection unit" in French police. The film is written by Maïwenn based on real life cases that she researched with a real "child protection unit". So the film has no bullshit in it. And yet given Maïwenn's personal life, this begs the question: Was this movie secretly a hate letter to
Luc Besson? Was this film the greatest "fuck you" in the history of French cinema?

47th Academy Awards from 1975 ( giving awards to movies from 1974 ) was an interesting spectacle.
Francis Ford Coppola's film
The Conversation ( which was nominated for
Best Picture ) lost to
The Godfather Part II also by Francis Ford Coppola. In 1981
Brian De Palma, one of the people who hanged out with Francis at the time, decided to remake a 1966 Italian film
Blowup, but doing it like Coppola's
The Conversation. Where sound plays a critical role in the plot of the picture.

I don't remember when was the last time I had watched a movie so strong that my mind literally cannot stop obsessing over it. Being on a
Luc Besson marathon I discovered that there is a misunderstood film which Besson wrote together with
Guy Ritchie, which was directed by Ritchie, which is called
Revolver. The 13% score on Rotten Tomatoes, in my opinion is there just because the critics were literally too dumb, or too insecure, for this movie. Or because this is something the Ritchie and Besson literally wanted to achieve. If the film became a hit, or was well received critically, the message of the film would not have worked as well as it does.

French 1983
Luc Besson film
Le Dernier Combat has 2 spoken words throughout its 1 and a half hour runtime. Both of those words are
Bonjour, which I bet you already know the meaning of. The film is about a post-apocalypse future where humans lost the ability to talk. The one time two characters in the film have an exchange of
Bonjours doesn't even require the understanding of the word to get the impact. It's about them finally being able to utter a word. It is not about them exchanging information.

D'une manière ou d'une autre, je ne connaissais pas le film de
Luc Besson 2010
Les Aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec. Excusez mon français. I will continue in English now. I just had a pleasure of listening to people speak French for 2 hours straight, because I just learned about the existence of a movie that for some reason passed my radar. As you know I'm a big enough Luc Besson fan that sometimes I take his personal life blunders personally. I knew about his more obscure
Arthur films. And I am anticipating his upcoming 2 films, that nobody seem to know nothing about. But somehow only now I heard about the 2010 Luc Besson film
The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec.

It is funny that I was just watching
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets while drinking Valerian. I was pissed at
Luc Besson because I just watched and reviewed
The Fifth Element. That review was more of a ramble about my theory surrounding his personal life. Which ties in neatly into the message of the film "Love". But for some reason I completely forgot to talk about it's qualities. Which I suppose this review will fix. I will compare the two grand space-operas from Luc Besson. And hopefully we will learn something in the process.

The Fifth Element 1997 is the most tragic film in Luc Besson's career

It is not a spoiler in 2025 that the message of
Luc Besson's 1997 film
The Fifth Element is "Love". The fifth element itself ( a revelation in the end of the film ) appears to be Love. And the thesis is that Love is the thing that can defeat the evil in the world. But looking at the film and the behind the scenes drama around it, you can say that Besson didn't really mean love in its purest sense. But he was instead preaching a Bonobo Philosophy. Where "love" or in modern language sex, is used to deescalate conflict. Bonobos are known to fuck each other instead of fighting with each other, making themselves more peaceful. Looking at how horny
The Fifth Element ( and Luc Besson ) is, the Bonobo philosophy theory sounds to be a much more plausible reading of the film. Making it very tragic indeed.

In my review of
Robert Rodriguez's film
Machete Kills I speculated that
Quentin Tarantino introduced a small reference to
Grindhouse movies in
Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood to fulfill a rather outlandish promise from the fake trailer of
Machete 3 in the beginning of
Machete Kills. That there would be a
Grindhouse movie with
Leonardo DiCaprio. I think
Paul Thomas Anderson just beat Tarantino in this regard. His 2025 film
One Battle After Another ( starring DiCaprio ) is a straight up remake of the first
Machete.

In
James Cameron's
Avatar humans are attacking the forests of Pandora, bulldozing and killing indigenous population of the planet, to get to the natural resources their tribes are sitting at. The military is literally playing a role of guards, for the bulldozers, because the indigenous have become sort of very upset with humans, that terrorize their land. This is sort the plot of
Eli Roth's horror film
The Green Inferno, just Roth makes it way way more viscerally.

People often complain about dumb movies with too much unnecessary spoon-feeding. We get so much explaining and over-explaining that the brain hurts sometimes. You already know what is going on. You are following the story. You don't need no god damned reminder of what you are watching. And yet the studio heads still think that you are too dumb to understand what's going on in front of you on the screen.
Respecting the audience on the other hand is a leap of faith on a part of a film-maker and only the greatest do that well.
Quentin Tarantino with his 2019 film
Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood takes the hardest such leap of his career.

Before
Kevin Bacon played a much more complex man with a psychological sexual abnormality in 2004's
The Woodsman, he played a man with a psychological sexual abnormality in 2000's
Hollow Man. Where the fetish is voyeurism and the crime is ghostly rape. You kind of know it is a
Paul Verhoeven movie from this description.

At one point in time ( roughly before Tarantino )
Shane Black was the hottest writer in Hollywood. He wrote stuff like
Lethal Weapon,
The Last Boy Scout,
Last Action Hero ( the man is obsessed with
Last anything ). And his
Last film before he recovered from Tarantino induced depression and returned to the scene with
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, was the 1996 movie he wrote for director of things like
Cliffhanger Renny Harlin The Long Kiss Goodnight, starring Harlin's wife at a time
Geena Davis.
