 That's a mighty fine print. Ooh, that's a hot mug, guys. Hey guys, really cool video here. Doing it in my fiance's kitchen right now. I'm just on the island. Speaking of the island, I actually got to see Portrait of a Lady on Fire at the Victoria International Film Festival. I was just there for our anniversary. And then all of a sudden I saw a building that said that, oh yeah, the Victoria International Film Festival was going on. So I just wanted to go to one of these to see a movie that I know I wouldn't see normally in a theater. I've heard so much hype from, let me explain several other websites about this movie so I wanted to see it. Is it as good as they say it is? In my opinion, it's not as amazing as they say it is but it is still very good. I would still say Parasite is far better than this movie but it's still a great movie. The director, writer, she does a phenomenal job with making this film, really putting it into its period piece and making a very, very heart wrenching sort of story but making it feel well placed. It actually feels in the moment. And the other thing that I really got to commend this movie for I feel that this movie does more for women in film more for the message of women empowerment than any of these incredibly obvious on the head movies have done. A little bit of a hot take here but I think that this is probably one of the best female filmmakers in the business right now. This movie doesn't. It's subtle but it weaves it into its narrative to the point where the message is part of the narrative but the narrative is still the majority something of that black mask piece of shit did not understand. Obviously, this is a horrible horror movie. I'm not putting on the same pedestal but Portrait of the Lady on Fire is a fantastically shock film. This is on the Deacons level. The fact that this movie wasn't nominated for cinematography kind of boggles me because so far this is the only other movie that I can think of that would have contended with Deacons for 1917. Is it as good? Oh! But it's still a beautifully shocked film. The landscapes, the colors, the costumes which apparently were created by the director herself which is pretty awesome. All of the color and the symmetry of the film is so well done and the performances are fantastic. Because this is a story about a woman who comes to this island to paint a portrait of this woman who the portrait is meant to send to her future husband who she hasn't even met yet. She's being a fake illustration of her before she actually needs to reel her. There's the relationship between the painter and the subject and something that movies don't kind of talk about at least it hasn't been talked about in a while is while the painter is looking at the subject how often is the subject looking at the painter and what does the subject see about the painter's mannerisms and all these other aspects and the relationship between the two really really builds and it actually develops quite well over the course of a couple of days and there's some fantastic pieces of music there's two actually in the entire movie there's this choir section and then there's the end of the movie but aside from that, there's almost no music in the entire movie which is really cool, really makes you feel like you're on this island it makes you feel like you're in their place it puts you in this period, it makes you live it is it slow? Holy fuck, yes it's slow there was a bunch of ladies in the theater who were snoring next to me and I can understand why this movie moves super slow I think on a first time viewing, I was okay with that watching it a second time though I would definitely be checking my phone there's many parts in the movie where just nothing's happening I think that's again trying to base itself in times of what the film is trying to do but it needs to move along anyways, I enjoyed Portrait of a Lady on Fire I think it's definitely one of the movies that was a big standout of the indie film and the international film festival I think it's a very good time I don't think it's a rewatchable movie but I definitely think it captured the period correctly it captured the romance correctly it's a great example of women in film doing absolutely amazing work in the end, I'm gonna give this movie a 5 out of 7 I think it's a really good I would definitely watch an analysis of this movie I don't know if I could watch it again but I would say that the analysis of it is going to be great there's gonna be a lot of them it's just that runtime that runtime is banana swell that's all for me guys, hope you enjoyed this review if you did, leave a like and if you're interested in more, subscribe otherwise, see you guys next time and with any luck, we'll see you guys soon
