Movie Moment

Have you seen this movie, The Revenant?

O my goodness!  So good.

It wasn’t even five minutes into the movie I started exclaiming, this is so fantastic!

The Revenant is such a complete movie – in every aspect – it is difficult to praise or speak well about the writing, acting, directing, cinematography, the musical score.  All of it was so fucking good!

Being a woman I do enjoy and appreciate good lighting and it was incredibly lit.

The writing or the story was quite unusually told.  I cannot recall another film told with every single second, every single minute being told and shown so much in the now.  Almost the entire movie was about that very moment and what was/is happening – now.  What an incredible thing to do and write.  Let alone being able to do it so well.

The Revenant is what I long for in going to the movies or watching films.

It’s like the perfect coffee, or glass of wine, or beautiful beer.  I’ve gone years of nothing but shitty coffee and then one day by some act of God almost you get that perfect moment and taste of the best coffee.  The same with wine – I can’t tell you how many bottles I’ve gone through trying to get a flavorful satisfaction until finally one comes along that is actually worth swallowing for.  And, oh my God I do love beer.  I will drink just about any beer because I enjoy it, but what I am looking for is that taste of flavor something you can’t find and get in anything else.  I just want the good stuff is that so much to ask for?

So, The Revenant is along those lines of a worthwhile pursuit.  Sitting through hours of so-so movies to finally see a movie so unbelievably superb – so complete.

Oh well, phew.

Thank you.
