"I don’t think I would name films as much as I would name filmmakers. You have to have a Frank Capra movie, you’d have to have a John Ford movie, and you’d have to have a Steven Spielberg movie in there. And then as a specific film, Pan’s Labyrinth would have to be in my Top Five. Because what Gabriel García Márquez was to fiction, that movie is to cinema. It’s magical realism, and it’s something that can only exist cinematically. It cannot be confused with any other medium. That makes it the perfect film. It’s also unlike anything you’ve ever seen before or will see again, it’s completely unique and not derivative, and it’s brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Setting fascist Spain — or fascist anything, for that matter –against this fantasy world created by this perfect, pristine, beautiful, pure girl."

I never was really a huge fan of Jaws by steven spielberg but now I finally see it's importance as a film. It's not necessarily about the shark it's more a human behaviour study. It shows a towns ignorance, self entitlement and selfishness during a pandemic. How politicians cover up dangerous problems just for their own financial gain regardless of the casualties and public safety and how some people take advantage of a crisis to benefit themselves. If anything it's even more relevant today with the spread of covid than it ever was and my issues with it were simply I was far to young to understand it's deeper meanings. It's a mighty fine first film for a director that's for sure and worthy of all it's praise.
