Beasts of No Nation

Its a Netflix original, and its like Apocalypse Now, but instead of it being soldiers in Vietnam, its child soldiers in West Africa. Really well done.

Soviet Solaris:

Well-shot, and well-acted by everyone on the station (except, surprisingly, for Bunionis). Many shots were drawn out too long, of course. It's the kind of movie where every scene inspires a strong opinion, but as soon as you reach the next shot everything immediately-prior just slides off the memory.

Favorite lines:

In this situation, mediocrity and genius are equally useless. We have no interest in conquering any cosmos. We want to extend the Earth to the borders of the cosmos.

We don't know what to do with other worlds. We don't need other worlds. We need a mirror.

Listen, let's open these hatches and shout down below. It would suddenly hear. But what should we call it? Maybe we should whip it.

Or, better yet, pray to it.

I can never get used to all these resurrections.

You know, it's really embarrassing, but for some reason...I've completely forgotten your face.

The happiest people are those who are not interested in these cursed questions.

To ask is always the desire to know. Yet the preservation of simple human truths requires mystery. The mysteries of happiness, death and love.

Maybe you're right, but try not to think about all that now.

To think about it is to know the day of one's death. Not knowing that day makes us practically immortal.

The only thing left for me is to wait. I don't know what for. New miracles?

Yes, Snaut is my favorite.

9/10

Got to see that, didn't know it existed. Loved the American version

tip, watch Singularity, somewhat it the same way solitude in space is handled. Story is completily different but the vibe of being alone is the same.

Singleton's Pluck

Would it be wrong if I feel the hots for Stephanie Tague? She looked to be 18 or 19 when she appeared in this movie. She could be in my mom's age group now.
