MGS5 is a masterpiece. It's hard to imagine another AAA game that will be allowed a five-year development cycle, yet feel so completely the work of one man. A game where you can visit a prisoner's cell and hear Joy Division

Idealization vs Obsession

I thoroughly enjoyed the way they portrayed the idea of idealization turning into unnoticeable obsession. While this notion was intriguing it was also heartbreaking. The characters where not hard to fall in love with at least in my opinion because I shared such a close philosophy with them. The movie, Kill Your Darlings, questions philosophy, friendship, passion, obsession, and existence. I've never watched another movie that so outwardly expressed such dark concepts in such brilliantly philosophical undertones. I recommend this movie to those that are mature enough to not only understand it's content but also brave enough to ask the same questions and explore the answers.

Movie Rating Watch

1999, the year that everybody expected Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace to be the best sci-fi movie.

It wasn't.

This was, instead.

Coming seemingly out of nowhere with an ingenious marketing campaign ("What is the Matrix?"), and with Keanu Reeve cementing his action man persona in lather and shades, this (I believe) was the first time that Western audiences was introduced to bullet time.

Very much Manga influenced ("I know Kung Fu"), and with a plot that owes more than a bit to Descartes philosophical "what is reality" question, this film soon launched a host of imitators and 2 not-as-good filmed back-to-back sequels.
