Looks like they finally made a movie of the Russian dystopian novel WE.
And what timing.

Moonshield Do you think this actor, Kenneth Branagh passes for a Russian? He plays a Russian character in the new film, Tenet.

Anyone seen the 1963 film Charade with Carey Grant and Audrey Hepburn? Someone was explaining it to me today and it sounded like Han & Leia's romance and Anakin & Padme's romance combined into one. In other words, Grant becomes Hepburn's bodyguard while she's being targeted and hides her way, but their dialogue and interactions are more like Han & Leia's. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charade_(1963_film)The description I heard was more detailed than this one from Wiki, and dang, it sounded interesting rom a SW fan pov. |

I recently reread "Solaris". A great sci-fi drama.
If I was George Lucas, I'd make the movie with Hayden as Kris Kelvin and Natalie as Harey.

My Mom Loves Charade too bad it got an Unnecessary remake (You can't top Cary and Audrey Walter Matthau too in a Rare Villain role) |

I love Charade, Subtext. Certainly worth a view if you like the Golden Age of Hollywood.
I'd say the interactions of Cary and Audrey are more the inverse of Han and Leia.

I just learned of and watched Gandahar from 1987, from the makers of Fantastic Planet.  Surreal, alien landscapes, bizarre creatures, dream-like pacing, mind-bending concepts of time and a big-bad who is very reminiscent of The Architect. I love movies about Utopias and the cautionary tales that come with them, and this didn't disappoint.    I watched this on Feb 24th and wanted to come here and post it that day or the 25th but just didn't have time. Only for Moonshield to post something here, and so on. Interesting timings think alike. |

I've seen this, long ago when I was a kid. My older brother, then a teenager and fancying himself something of an 'adult animation' sophisticate, scored a VHS copy and I watched it with him; I remember feeling rather privy to a special kind of animated movie more mature than what my friends and I were used to. This was back in 1990 or maybe 1991. I've caught stretches of it since then in passing but have never revisited all the way through.
You're timing is somewhat apropos however in that I'm currently on a Ralph Bakshi kick. Not the same thing, entirely, but not altogether separate either.

Finished seeing Writing on the Wind by Douglas Sirk. Magnificent movie, which definitively proves melodrama is better than method-drama.

And Bacall painted in Technicolor primaries is, alone, worth the price of admission. She's also afforded one of the most boss lines ever: "Pardon me if, uh, I seem to be brushing you out of my hair."Aint no bitchiness like '50s bitchiness.

I watched this a few days ago too. And yes, THAT LINE. Mic drop. |

However I liked Tarkovski's Solaris but it is away from the main idea of the novel. Paradoxically, Steven Soderberg's movie is closer interpretation. The critics dislike it but as adaptation is good. |
