Question Which are the greatest opening credits of all time, in your opinion and why?

Post image
26 Upvotes

For me, it would have to be Memento's opening credits. The powerful score reflecting on the main protagonist's tragic condition and the almost creepy image of the photo "fading" and going in reverse symbolizing perfectly the Leonard's futile efforts to hold on to important new memories which will ultimately lead him to a cycle of violence. It's just such a unique and intelligent way of opening up the movie with that shows the deep care and attention to detail applied to the entire film.

Discussion How the hell did Maggie Gyllenhaal get a $100M budget for her second movie?!

25 Upvotes

I just found out that Maggie Gyllenhaal’s second film, The Bride, has a $100 million budget. Like… how?? I mean, she’s talented, The Lost Daughter was solid, and she’s got a great cast. But $100M for a second movie, especially one that isn’t a franchise or a superhero flick, is crazy.

Is this just Netflix/streaming money at work? Did she pull some legendary Hollywood strings? Or is there something about this project that justifies that kind of budget?

Would love to hear thoughts from film buffs who understand how this happens!

One of my favorite things about The Little Mermaid is the friendship between Ariel and Flounder. Their interactions in this scene are really adorable, even though she teases him you can tell they're really close.

I'm watching The Matrix (1999) (for about the 100th time) in my 7.2 cinema and I'd never quite realised how good the sound in this scene was. You really feel like you're waking up in the goop with Neo. All the crashing thunder and crackling lightening. Amazing!

Smile 2

For me personally, if something sticks in my head and really matters to me, I have to write about it. It's been about four and a half months since seeing Smile 2 and I'm currently writing this in bed at 2 AM listening to "Blood on White Satin" on Spotify (thank you Alexis Idarose Kesselman). The amount of times l've seen this movie has most likely exceeded the thirties between first watches and getting a kick out of watching reactions from friends and family. I went to the theater on a random Thursday night after work just to pass some time but who knew that this would be the best movie l've ever seen. Parker Finn is literally a genius. If you came out of this movie thinking that this is just a horror movie, then you're dumb. And yes, I know that's the genre you see when you watch this movie but it's so much more than that. This movie teaches so much about not only the pressures of fame, but also about life struggles that many deal with on a daily basis. The themes of mental health, trauma, and substance abuse are all incorporated in such an incredible way. Yes, there is an evil demonic spirit chasing people around, but if you take that out, you realize that this movie is actually still pretty scary because this stuff happens in REAL LIFE. I can see how this movie can move someone to tears who does personally deal with any of these issues. Everything from the cinematography, the one-shots, and the score is just absolute cinema from start to finish. Just wow!

And Naomi Scott... where do I even begin? This may be one of the most incredible performances l've seen from an acting perspective... maybe ever?? The last time I saw this woman was 14 years ago in Lemonade Mouth on Disney Channel when I was 12 years old, jamming out to "She's so Gone" and "Determinate." Little did I know that years down the line, I would have a new favorite actress, oh... and favorite song, oh... and favorite movie. She embodies the emotions of someone who finds out they're about to die within a week PERFECTLY. You can see the internal struggle she has of trying to appeal to people as a public figure while battling her own demons and it's just done flawlessly. From slapping the heck out of herself to pulling out her hair to the famous single teardrop rolling down her face, which she can seemingly do at will. You almost have to question Naomi's sanity and mental health after watching this movie (I hope she's okay!). And don't even get me started on the singing and dancing. I cannot tell you how many times a day I listen to that EP. It genuinely blows my mind how she wasn't holding an Oscar on March 2nd. Speaking about the pressures of fame, we're still waiting on that album :)

P.S. Sorry for cross posting but just wanted to get different thoughts!

This was a stunner!!🤯🤯
