TrolerKill Bill is a reference loaded film. The director lives in cinema, after all. At one point, the Bill of Kill Bill (David Carradine) reviews Superman, during a monologue with the presence of the protagonist Beatrix Kiddo (Uma Thurman). The said review made sense inside of the given scene, it made sense within the given plot. What if anything it was a flex. Q. Tarantino spoke through Bill about Superman and millions of people heard him. It could be argued, his most popular review... was part of a martial arts movie.

TrolerLuc Besson's 1994 film Leon: The Professional is a feature with layered tension. As the assassin and the titular character Leon goes by his depressing life, there is a depressed 11 year old girl standing besides — Mathilda.
No wonder The Fabelmens takes place in the desert

TrolerIn the year 2022 Steven Spielberg directed a film about his own life, in a little known feature The Fabelmans. Although not a full documentary, it's semi-fictional nature was still education. The movie was teaching the audience how to make movies, how a single spark of The Greatest Show on Earth inspired Spielberg to become a director.

TrolerPearl Harbor
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3c/Pearl_harbor_movie_poster.jpg)
TrolerThe movie is nothing like I've seen. It's a masterpiece of cinema. The so called critics are critical of it, citing similarities to James Cameron Titanic. They're right, but it is a dead serious film and by no one other than by Michael Bay. For the director, it a grueling experience to conduct. It's a good watch, it'll make you cry your eyes out.
The poseur of Last Night in Soho
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/user_upload/Troler/GQ1BNMVU03TH59Q7.jpg)
TrolerLast Night in Soho depict horrifying imagery not so much through gore, the primal horror, more so from the traumatic past. It deals with the less so appealable aspects of the Swinging Sixties. The thriller is used more as a hook, to lure in audience to a film, mostly dissecting and understanding the spirit of the 60s.

GPL doesn't make the program libre
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/user_upload/Troler/KHYF0Z71AGCAID4L.png)
TrolerI don't consider freedom binary, for me some things are inherently more free than others. Here I define freedom as the capacity to do a task unhindered. With such definition, it comes to be clear, what I mean by freedom not being binary and existing on an axis. For instance, repairing a standard PC is easier than the newest model of iPhone. This ease of repairability exists on a gradient, with the PC and iPhone being on different sides. The same applies to the actual binary, software world as well. It is easier to modify a program written in Python than the same one written in C. In Python there is no need to keep recompiling and seeing the changes, all alterations can be done on the fly.
Fort Graveyard shows comedies are more tragic

TrolerThe blistering cries of the war can be interpreted as a symphony. Only the musical and empathetic are able to decipher its true meaning. Asked what those wails mean, no concrete answer would be heard. Just saying pain is too narrow, suffering too shallow. The best approximation is everything: woe and joy, hope and dismay – masala.
The landmark impact of Dominykas the Horse's Journey to the Stars
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/user_upload/Troler/24C78MRMOBQZFHIO.png)
TrolerThe desire to create never stops. Once the heart beats, it must be fed. The heart of art, desires art. My heart desires animation. My heart desires Lithuanian animation. Lithuanian cinema should Flow towards greathood. It all starts with making a bold choice.
The Retreat from Kiska (1965) moralizes imperial Japan
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/user_upload/Troler/NBYB67XOXQ43O8R6.jpg)
TrolerHow daring must be a film studio to make a film applauding the acts of the Japanese Empire not only for the local, but the global market as well. One of the ways to do it, is to make a documentary, use objectivity as a shield for political play. Alternatively it can be about the individuals, who were concerned about the life of brethren than some pity war goals.
Atragon (1963) pivots from monsters towards Brian Duffield

TrolerMothra Wormholed its way to Upsilon Andromedae B
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/user_upload/Troler/F5OTDKU3IDOVR258.jpg)
TrolerHuman life is too short to watch every single movie about monster. There is enough time to put aside for the classics, such as Mothra. Being born after the great sensation that was Gojira it steers away from what is to be expected for a monster movie, towards the line of a detective story. Mothra, more than anything, is a symbol of resistance in the world that is defiled not so much by nuclear, but by human waste.
Westward Desperado Set the Standard of War Comedies
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/user_upload/Troler/9AGEW7R8A90GS0IY.jpg)
TrolerIt could be said war and comedies don't work well together. How can anything humorous be said about the matters. Those who do must have lost their minds from the war! Cracking jokes and grinning while speaking of most horrific events in human history like it were a regular Friday night, is one of the best ways to come with the trauma. The trauma which never heals, always stays where-ever the eyes turn. Telling a story really helps get the pain off the chest. In a way, Westward Desperado is exactly just that.
Rodan (1956) jetted its way to Alpha Centauri.
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/user_upload/Troler/9FEDVH1U1NC3LN7S.jpg)
TrolerHow hard is it to make a spiritual successor to one for one the most iconic stories in cinema history? One thing is certain, once the image is formed of what that franchise is about, it is difficult to divert from it. Rodan tries the difficult task of both appeasing the general audience, who want a movie about giant monsters wrecking the city and not to retell the same exact story, while keeping it in line with viewer expectations. The truth is told in this tad bit ambitious review of RODAN.
Godzilla (1954) is a choir of destruction and loss
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/user_upload/Troler/HHIY42R9INXOV48T.jpg)
TrolerWhat can be said about Godzilla? It is an icon to name icons. Looking at IMDb, it is unfortunate, although expected, to find 2014 release of Godzilla has 10 times as much ratings as the original 1954 version. Even though some scenes do look pretty goofy, a lot of love was undoubtedly put into it. That love is not always felt when viewing with modern sensibilities. I attempt to remedy the poignant feeling by calculated and logical reasoning and arguments... or more so my own acuity of the work.
