Posted on 2021-01-07by The Prestige

This week’s film is the Jon Favreau live action/CGI remake of the 1967 film. After some opening reviews (and Sam admitting that he might have given the film too much credit), we talk — in one of our more cerebral chats — about selfishness, understanding, and change, particularly in our reading of the end of the film.

  • THE MATRIX RELOADED and Free WillTHE MATRIX RELOADED and Free Will4 years ago
      We continue our forays into the world of the Matrix, with the Wachowskis’ 2003 sequel. The reviews are unsurprisingly different, and we then get into some interesting discussions of viruses, narrative bloat, how much choice is involved in the narration (and indeed consumption) of the film, and why this movie becomes about love of different kinds (fatherhood has turned Rob into the sentimental type). This Week’s Watching ANTHONY BOURDAIN: PARTS UNKNOWN (2013–): Anthony Bourdain TRAVEL MAN (2015–): Richard Ayoade SICARIO (2015): Denis Villeneuve, Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro Recommendations IRRÉVERSIBLE (2002): Gaspar Noé, Monica Bellucci, Vincent Cassell JUPITER ASCENDING (2015): Lilly Wachowski, Lana Wachowski, Channing Tatum V FOR VENDETTA (2006): James McTeigue, the Wachowskis, Natalie Portman JOHNNY MNEMONIC (1995): Robert Longo, Keanu Reeves, Dolph Lundgren Footnotes The Wachowskis (see last week’s footnotes for a discussion of whether or not they were brothers at the time of these early films…) share their thoughts on the choices made by an audience here: http://uk.ign.com/articles/2005/04/11/the-matrix-online-2. Sam was about to go off on one about the dystopian depictions of Zion, Hieronymus Bosch, and Fritz Lang’s 1927 film METROPOLIS, before we had a recording malfunction; you can either offer thanks for the fact everyone was spared this, or read more here: http://thedelightsofseeing.blogspot.co.uk/2010/11/utopiadystopia.html and here: http://www.wilderutopia.com/performance/film/h-g-wells-on-the-futurist-dystopia-of-fritz-langs-metropolis.
