There are many 'Top 10, or 100, or 250, or 1000' film lists out there. Sites like IMDb, BBC, AFI, BFI, Village Voice, Roger Ebert, and on and on, which also include foreign and domestic American and British films. I think Michael has done an excellent job in winnowing down the lists to inform us of the ins and outs of maybe a specific genre type, or editing techniques of major directors. It's too much to hope that this series will continue for another 100 or 250 episodes to take into account the various likes of the comment writers.

That style of cutting reminds me slightly of Memento. Even though in Memento it's a bit more linear, you do get to see two separate strands of narrative that initially seem to be telling different stories, and then in the end they flow together. It also helps the audience feel Leonard's subjective experience because the 'main' story is told in disjointed 10-15 minute segments, imitating the way Leonard's memory works.

9: 27 a wild Post Malone appears.
I love this kind of revenge story, and would like to see it told through this different technique, though I suppose all the twists have been revealed: the scenes are memories, the protagonist played a role in his daughter's death. Normally, I don't enjoy vague, confusing, discontinuous movies, but I'll give this a shot.

Crash course. please do film criticism of at least one top films from the most influential film movements of all times like Italian neo realism, french new waves, or Hollywood(of 70's) Spielberg, scorcesse, Kubrick, coppala
And do a review of -no country for old man- by corn brothers considered to be the best 21st century film so far.

Noteworthy editing and directing don't can't hide Terence Stamp's pantomime mockney accent, a plot which goes nowhere exciting, and an opposition so ineffective that he breezes through everything like a walk in the park. Watch for a no great shakes these days film making structure, not for any surprise or tension at all.

This reminds me a lot of Tarkovsky's -Mirror-. It has no cohesive plot or story. It's basically just a -narrater- who has flashbacks of memories from his whole life and it's told in a completely jumble and fragmatic way; exactly like you would usually remember memories.

I hope The Shawshank Redemption gets reviewed, as though many critics say it is great but not revolutionary, I'd like to see a dissection of why it is so popular and never fails to resonate with audiences.

I Absolutely Loved this film -If this is my birthday present, I really appreciate it- I never hear people talking about this film & finding out about the flashbacks was a real treat

Hmph, bought the VHS on a whim last century. Bought it because of the director's name and reputation. Thank you for such a concise critique.

Enough with the trigger warnings! I worry about my generation if this is what they need to be told before seeing anything mildly controversial.
