"Yeah. More than anything, that’s a film that I’ve been watching over and over and over again, because the device with which they bring the audience into the world in that first act through a character that’s not seen in the film again, it’s just something I’ve never seen done before. It’s storytelling; it’s brave and fresh and non-linear in a way — I mean it is, it is linear, but in a non-traditional, non-linear approach to a linear narrative."

Derek Cianfrance recommended GoodFellas (1990) in Movies (curated)

"First one I’d say is GoodFellas. When I was a teenager I slept underneath a picture of Martin Scorsese. I think GoodFellas is just a perfect film. From an efficiency of storytelling standpoint, from an entertainment standpoint, from a performance standpoint, from a use of music standpoint, from a cinematography and editing standpoint — to me it’s just a perfect movie. That’s a movie I saw when I was 16 years old, when I watched it in a theater 30 times. A perfect movie."

Salman Rushdie | 2017 | Fiction & Poetry

"A sensation—nothing less. This novel not only won the Booker Prize in 1981 but was honored as the Booker of Bookers in 1993. I identify with Rushdie’s imaginary echelon of children born at the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, when India was liberated. In its rich tapestry of storytelling, magical realism, and history, the book revealed Rushdie’s staggering talent. He turns the turmoil of India and Pakistan into a Tolstoyan panorama that is much funnier than War and Peace."

Interesting way of storytelling
Contains spoilers, click to show
This was a really interesting film. Though there are some rocky parts, it was still tense and compelling enough to keep me watching. Plus the fact they basically made sign language like a super skill in a world where you need to be silent is awesome!


I will say that they do show the monster way, way too early for me though and so it wasn't really scary.

Just watched the first episode and right from the start it's interesting and really starts the story with a great premise. The cast is great and there are some scary and intense moments that are incredible. It is also set in the time of Jim Crow laws and draws some important parallels about the fact that Lovecraft was a talented writer, but was incredibly racist. The storytelling for the premiere episode is great and it left me wanting more. Overall, great show.
