This feels like one of those kung fu scenes where the bad guy gets his head sliced and diced, then they come back like 3 minutes later and it finally slides off. Don't ask me to explain, just take the compliment.
i know you guys hate me for always ripping on these films, but consider;
i have watched
Cyrano -
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12889404/reference/
which currently sits at 6.3/10 on IMDb. Spooderman has 8.6/10.
Starring the absolutely fantastic Peter Dinklage as Cyrano, in an absolutely perfect casting replacing the classic nose with height, It makes use of theatre, film, and musical- techniques but without being limited by these, as, let's say, the recent MacBeth was (trying desperately to be Theatre), or Les Miserables (trying to be a musical).
Or Cats .. trying to .. be a Film, while using theatre scenes .. while being on camera?!?!?
Putting aside Dinklage's protagonist role, everything else - camera and photography, sets, direction, dialogue, acting - from leads and supporting, music, choreography, casting, everything is "at least as good as it should be to qualify as a properly made film", which is a concept that apparently escapes the mind of modern film-involved-people, from those who make them, to those who review them, and finally all the way down to the bog of eternal stench which are those who watch them.
Comparing this to spoodermon, what vote should i give? 14/10 ?
I try to stick to this one scale which, as i am very smart, uses a quasi-logarithmic system, where each full point is its own microcosm; note the funny way i put the numbers in line.
6 - eh, a film. You went, you watched it, you had some popcorn. Maybe you even had fun but honestly the film itself wasn't really good. No harm done tho.
7 - a good film. You had fun because the film itself was fun, it managed to entertain you throughout and rarely did you drop out of the enchantment.
8 - a really good, strong film. Actors have memorable scenes, there are new or innovative plot devices, parts of the film bleed into popular culture.
9 - a film with a great social impact, that affects the world around you, changes filmmaking, scenes that will be referenced forever.
10 - the greatest masterpieces, art so ephemeral that it has not yet been fully described.
On the bottom rung
5 - not a good film. You tried, but there was just no way to find it enjoyable.
4 - a really really awful film that upsets you for how bad it was, it will make the next week of your life worse.
3 - a profoundly offensive film that requires action on your part - you feel the need to actively fight the propagation of this horror.
2 - a film which permanently makes your life worse
1 - the star wars prequels
So, Cyrano is a good film. It's the plot of the story of Cyrano De Bergerac, by the author named .. uh .. Cyrano De Bergerac ?!
so this guy wrote a story about his imaginary self?
Anyway, good film, don't watch, you won't like it. It's got Acting in it.
7.8/10
