The First To Ever Make Me Feel Too Shallow

Rating: 8/10 (6 March 2019)

There's a difference between a classic that you personally consider overrated and a classic that is too deep you can't comprehend at first sight. This one is the latter.
NCFOM differentiates itself from all other movies that constantly have to use music to pump adrenaline into the audience's vein. Instead, it does the job by showing and avoid telling, which is exactly what films should do but haven't be done enough.
The story is unconventional and unpredictable. Characters are complex and very well-portrayed. Javier Bardem certainly is the highlight of the movie, making his character original, unique and classic with his incredible performance as a mad, pathological killer.
Like I said, this movie doesn't tell a story. It shows. It even avoids overusing sound. Therefore, it relies heavily on cinematography and acting to develop, which allows it to have such excellent shots and turns some scenes into classic.
I was so confused by the end of the movie and have to turn to analysis to see it. I'm not usually that way, though. There's so many things about it that makes it incredible, especially the messages and metaphors that the directors want to deliver. It's visually fascinating and internally profound.
Definitely have to see it again
