Graphic novel vs comic book

Rating: 9/10 (16 October 2019)

This film is the difference between reading a comic book and reading a graphic novel. Both have their merits, their distinctions and their own arguments over what constitutes what just as a movie versus a film. From the very beginning, you get a very nostalgic look to this film including the title. This is an artists film and not a superhero movie; but that would be apparent from the posters and trailers alone, right? Most going into this will get exactly what they want. Some may be enticed, by the promise that it is not what they would expect from such a film, they will not be lied to. Any lover of film will at least like this movie as long as they do not mind seeing a little violence and being made to feel a certain way. This film invokes thought and emotion almost entirely throughout and will almost certainly leave with the viewer in conversation or contemplation. All of the cast is phenomenal and the script leaves very little if anything to be desired. The cinematography does wonders for making the viewer feel exactly as I believe the director intended, and the score will still be resonating within me even into the following weeks. I have not been to the cinema much lately as I prefer to view from the comforts of my own home, but anyone who feels as thought they should see even one movie in theaters a year, I would recommend this one to them. The conversations afterward alone will make it worthwhile, even if it would be to say how much you disagree with everyone else.
