The Shining

1980

★★★★ Watched

An auditory experience like no other. The purposeful heightened sound of minor actions, that are repeated extensively, makes those hollow-environment moments within the massive hotel room settings seem more confined than they would be in real life. However, maybe not. I think this film’s messaging for domestic violence is the loudest of them all. Living in a space where domestic violence has inhabited can feel like every small sound is a precursor for a major explosive action. Where no matter…

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

2016

★★★★ Watched

Watching for the first time, after finishing season 2 of Andor

What a lovely way to end this arc of the Star Wars lore.

What a vapid climax to an already lackluster era of music.

I went into this trying to separate my perceptions of The Weeknd himself from what the film was to deliver. Unfortunately, I believe the film *wants* you to do such thing. Not so that you gain proper perspective of the story being told to you. So that you take the idea of ‘The Weeknd’ it portrays to you as fact.
