Long but Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2019)

It is understandable why some people may not like this movie. It is a very long movie, and that sometimes makes works for movies (see films like Titanic). Perhaps that is more of a commentary on society, but I digress. The movie does seem to move at quite a slow pace, but it allows you time to think on the details and craft theories and most importantly appreciate the amazing cinematography. This is far and above the greatest part of the movie. It is hands down the most beautiful and visually stunning movie I have ever seen by a wide margin. The only movie I can think of that comes close is the first Sicario. The legendary cinematographer Roger Deakins topped all his previous work (Sicario,No Country for Old Men, Skyfall) with this. On top of this the acting is top notch. The dialogue and actors provide some of the best in recent history. Personally, I think Harrison Ford's was the worst in the film, so that should say something. In the end, not everyone will like the movie, and that's understandable with how it did at the box office. But if you want to see a real piece of cinema history and arguable the greatest looking film made to date, you won't be disappointed. Just remember, the length may deter, but the looks will and acting will keep your attention.
