    Spider-Man 2

    ★★★★★

    The best way to describe Spider-Man 2 is by comparing it to Oscar Wilde's play, The Importance of Being Earnest, which makes an appearance twice in the film.

    Both Ernest and Peter Parker both live double lives to achieve their goals while deceiving everyone in a very excusable manner (being late for class and his job, MJ's Play, and not being there for his friends). At the end of the play, Ernest decides to leave his persona which makes him…

    The Garden of Sinners: Paradox Spiral

    ★★★★★

    Kara no Kyoukai is an animated series of films that would completely change my perspective on animation and film as a whole.

    I was able to discover Kara no Kyoukai when I was browsing through YouTube and I encountered a fight scene in this movie. That fight scene was... so colorful, beautifully animated, and choreographed. It also persuaded me to watch the series. Before I did that, I decided to get myself into Nasu's work before approaching Kara no Kyoukai.…

    Oppenheimer

    ★★★★

    While Tenet was Nolan's "Miami Vice", it's interesting to see how Oppenheimer is Nolan's "There Will Be Blood".

    A warning of how any creation made by an individual can create many consequences that can't be taken back, driving an individual to suffer for the rest of their lives and those around them. But since this is Nolan who loves flawed characters and making them more human, he adds a certain "chaotic" factor into how flawed Oppenheimer is as a person…

    Stop Making Sense

    ★★★★★

    The moment stays, but will always be there to see.

    Concert films are usually hit or miss since it can't truly replicate the immersion of being at a concert, until Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense rereleased in theatres for its 40th anniversary on IMAX. Projected via laser, multichannel audio that makes every instrument be heard via surroundings, and the energetic performance by everyone along with the highlight; David Bryne. Energetic, visually stunning, and a blast for both fans and newcomers…

    Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time

    ★★★

    How will a franchise end that's been ongoing for so many years? That was the question I had when I watched Evangelion 3.0+1.0.

    I've been satisfied with how Evangelion ended. Such as the final 2 episodes of the series ending off with Shinji accepting himself, and Shinji realizing how life is going to be painful and how he'll have to live through it in End of Evangelion.

    This time in 3.0+1.0, Shinji finds closure for himself and others.

    The entirety…

    An Elephant Sitting Still

    ★★★★★

    October 2nd, 2017. That was the day when my suicidal thoughts started.

    I remember when I was stressed with so many issues going on. Such as stress from school assignments, family problems, relationship with friends, and worried about what's to come in the future. Everything was difficult to handle and I remember thinking "What if I just ended everything?". I also remember walking up to a bridge, but I didn't have to urge to do it. Because there was a…
