Whit Stillman recommended Black Orpheus (1959) in Movies (curated)

Movie Favorite

"I love films that are great not only in themselves but in the idea of them that stays in memory. But this then can dwarf the actual film, which perhaps it has in the case of Black Orpheus—some aspects now try one’s patience slightly. A few years back a Brazilian film was touted as the realistic and gritty version of the story, by those who knew the actual milieu—another black eye for realism and grit."

Pretty damn powerful

A story of so many emotions, I couldn't put it down! My heart broke a little for these amazing men, the trials they go through, the raw pain, love and passion.
    Will and Mike fight for each other through the fallout of a military attack, memory loss and injury.

Definitely an adult read, with sex, bdsm, mental anguish/ptsd and descriptions of violent acts. Brilliantly told in a way that keeps you hooked.

General Story arc
I feel like I am growing up and along with him, learning and exploring this world.
the dialog and verbal banter is exceptional in spurts later on in the book.
Could be a next step for Harry Potter fans looking for the next great adventure...
I really enjoyed this one much more than I expected. Harry Potter fans might be looking for this one....
I feel like this might be a Different and yet contain some of the same element that people love about Harry Potter. if Harry Potter had told his own story from his memory. But of course had a much better memory than I have or am capable of. I can't say enough how much little moments in his book are so charming and smart. Yes he makes decisions I wouldn't make, and he does things that I think to myself, of crap he we go.... but isn't that part of the fun? I get to experience someone else's world for a while.
