    21 Vtmn2 sounds so fresh

    doesn't like it was made in the early 90s at all

     

    those synths sound so Arpanet/Zwischenwelt mid-00's Gerald Donald sound its crazy.

    yeah, the synth used sounds like the track it could have been written during the Analord phase. Another example of RDJ doing amazing stuff so early on.

    nice use of music; especially Burial in the intro

    Yes probably one of his darkest ones yet

    Good breathing spaces in between his narration where abstract bits of footage were used, that were open to intepretation. Those moments were a cool touch to the overall film aesthetic.

    I rarely find myself disagreeing with his analysis on things. Everything was well-packaged and explained in an accessible way.

    Exodus Gods and Kings 6.5/10

    - hardly any emotion or empathy for protagonist Moses

    - way too violent and bloody for a PG-13/12A - should have been at least a 15 but I suppose Ridley Scott has some influence in getting the certification he needs to make more $

    - makes religion and the Christian concept of God even more ridiculous (so atheists will enjoy it for that reason) - some parts where God talks to Moses are laughable/childish

    - probably one of the worst films Ridley Scott has directed - too much focus on special effects and not enough of an emotional grab. Script and dialogue quite mundane.

    - baffling as to why Christian Bale saw potential in playing the role of Moses

    How does the World view America these days?

    I have never, ever been able to get my head around patriotism, at all, so the anthem-singing, flag-waving aspects of American culture, and the near-sacrosant status of the US military make me deeply suspicious. To me, being proud of your country is like being proud of having size 10 feet, it's pretty much an accident of birth (I know not all Americans are like this, and I find it just as weird when it's England, for instance, going bananas over a royal wedding).

    well said
