"My favorite among Antonioni’s trilogy of alienation (La notte and L’eclisse are the other two). For me, these films capture the slow and painful death of love with astonishing intuition and almost no dialogue. There is nothing to be said between lovers when they fall out of love, but the silent agony of their dying relationships is captured in heartbreaking glances and body language. A shoulder turn or look away speaks volumes. Antonioni is a master of blocking actors. They move up close, far away, and out of shot in long single takes that reveal more about their emotions than any confession."

Feb 23, 2021

Such a cute series of books!!
I always love going back to cross roads (each series is a stand alone) but they all have interconnections if that makes sense :)
Each of these Authors brings a unique story to the table, they all have different ways of showing emotions, character mentalities, and creative stories. I truly enjoy reading their stories and connecting with their characters.
I recommend putting this series on your To Be Read list.
I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feedback, the thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

Corey Feldman recommended The Color Purple (1985) in Movies (curated)

"I would say five would probably have to go The Color Purple, Steven Spielberg’s film, which obviously deals with racism but also deals with a lot of human emotions. Everything from abuse, controlling husbands, abusive parents to family life. Just so much emotion. The music is incredible — Quincy Jones did an incredible job on the soundtrack. The vocalists on the soundtrack were staggering. And the performances by Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey and Danny Glover, I mean just some of the best performances ever put on screen. Eloquently and beautifully directed by Steven Spielberg — I think, actually, his best work."

Movie Rating

This has a runtime of only 12 minutes (including credits) but that was all it took for it to have an absolutely devastating emotional impact.

The animation is a simplistic style but this was all to its credit, as in each scene your eye was drawn specifically to the important details.
It made it feel so raw, and full of the emotions it was trying to illicit.

I wouldn't like to say too much, as I wouldn't want to colour any details of this powerful piece.
I hope that viewers will enjoy it for the beautiful work that it is.

Emotional Roller Coaster

As I write this review I'm riding an overwhelming wave of emotions as I honestly was unprepared for not only the ending but the entire read. The progression of Beau's psychopathic tendencies was completely mind-boggling and showed just how well he was able to hide his true self from others. You could practically taste the fear of the ones he hurt. The characters were strong, well developed and worked well as a whole and the storyline kept me hooked from beginning to end. This tale will stay with me for a long time.
