Smashbomb

"Not actually a “spiritual” work at all (if only someone could define terms like that for me), this is the first truly great film about institutional oppression (forget the Soviets’ chockablock puppeteering and jigsaw manipulations), a subject that always manages to give a film with this much passionate force pertinence in virtually any age and political climate. It took me years to realize—and this is all the props George Lucas will get from me at this late date—that Dreyer’s film is in fact an abstracted dystopian horror film, a point Lucas made by remaking it as THX 1138, right down to the shaved skulls, white-on-white compositions, inarticulate victim protagonist, looming totalitarian machinations, and semihopeless action finale."

Hope everyone is okay with all this still going on. Anyway tomorrow I make my first visit back to the cinema in almost five months too see empire strikes back am I glad yes kinda and kinda nervous what with some parts of the country back in lockdown too say I've missed going to the cinema is the understatement of the year . Because going to the cinema on my day off has become weekly ritual for me for 25 years and to loose it for so long has been hard I'm passionate about movies and I'm glad I found smashbomb and fellow people who share the same interests as me. Anyway got to finish my post and say bye for now
