There is also sometimes cheesy dialogue. But John David Washington and Madeleine Yuna Voyles are such skilled actors that it didn't bother me at all. They pulled it off.
1941 was not received very well in 1979 when it was released. It was supposed to be a comedy. But it was a not very funny parody on World War II together with being perhaps the loudest movie ever made ( until Christopher Nolan said "Hold my beer" ). Being written by Robert Zemekys ( who would later direct such classics like Back To The Future and Forest Gump ) and Bob Gale the script was what the producer John Milius describes as "social irresponsibility". And what attracted Steven Spielberg to it was the fact that he could blow, break and destroy in multiple ways a bunch of stuff.
Directing-wise the movie had even less money than Call Me By Your Name, so the camera moves even less. There is one nice camera move toward the end. And some nice steady-cam work in the scene where they are running around the school. I know it sounds very terrible. But oh my god!!! Somehow it works. John Hughes being both writer and director is a magician and I really want to know the tricks up his sleeve.
The movie has a very interesting decision. There are multiple different names that the main character has. And all of them are unimportant. Therefor even the credits call the main character simply "The Killer". This killer is very calculative and cold. Similar to Fincher himself. And he does bad things for money. Similar to Fincher himself. ( Making movies isn't bad, distributing them with DRM is ). Perhaps the real name of The Killer is David Fincher.
The music for the film is made by the legendary Michael Giacchino who also got a cameo in the movie as one of the police officers. At some point John Williams was brought as a guest to help Giacchino conduct. Giacchino admitted trying to sound like John Williams for this movie. Because frankly, J.J. Abrams was trying to shoot the movie like Spielberg would do. Though he added enough of his own touches, such as a dutch angle to make it feel more unique.
The film has a rather large cast of characters, most notably John Goodman as Pops. I paid homage to this character in my film Moria's Race where the father of the racer is referred to as "Paps" ( almost the same as Pops ) and he is kind of fat like John Goodman. But almost every character in Moria's Race is a homage to some real or fake movie person. Can you spot all of them? Pops in Speed Racer is very much like Mario. He is fat, has mustaches and wears a hilarious red top. The original version of this character was in a Japanese TV show from the 60s. So it seems like it could be that Nintendo took the same inspiration as myself for their Mario character.
May December is based on a true story of a woman named Mary Katherine Fualaau who was a teacher in Burien, Washington. She ( then going by a name Letourneau ) and a 12 year old boy named Vili Fualaau ( who she later married ) were caught having sex in a car. She was sentenced to prison for that. Even though after she was released, the boy ( then 21 ) persuaded the court to reverse the no-contact order against her and then met her and they married.
There is a sub-genre of Horror films categorized by surrealism. It could range between totally insane films like anything directed by David Lynch all the way to something like Mandy by Panos Cosmatos, where it is kind of surreal, but also doesn't actually ask from the audience too much in terms of figuring out what is going on. "Beau Is Afraid" is more toward the David Lynch category of surreal horror.
Sheiny read a little bit of the text. There was a quote of some person named John Stuart Mill. It went:
To obtain it you need to fill up a form in which they ask you your name, email, phone number, country, city and street where you live. I put John Doe everywhere and it let me see the next step, which is a huge License agreement that nobody reads. Shall we read it then?
