Yup, I cried.

Wild Strawberries 1957
I’ll just say this, Wild Strawberries is much more then a Mr.Scrooge lookalike. It’s a meditation on memory, the absence of fulfillment, and lack of wisdom in old age -- and learning to be okay with that.

High and Low 1963
Only negative criticism: No way in hell does the media have this much integrity in real life!

El Topo 1970
I’m not gonna pretend like I got all the symbolism or what the hell it was trying to say in general but I found it so entertaining. More than anything, I was blown away with world the film captures, its so cool and unique. It almost feels like a life action anime or cartoon, done right.
I was afraid the film would go off the rails and turn completely absurd mid way through (As in not making sense for the sake of not making sense) but it never crosses that line. -
The Small Town 1997
The fact that it’s heavily told from the perspective of the children, gives the film a deep tranquility. Really enjoyed it.

Days of Heaven 1978
God, I wish I could have seen this on the big screen, instead of my laptop! (First world problem eh?)
But either way it still looked amazing, and surreal! - - I didn’t find the film boring at all, but I sorta wished the focused could of been on the harsh labor the workers had to deal with. I love myself a good love story, especially a love triangle but I found the earlier scenes with the workers much more interesting. -

I'm Thinking of Ending Things 2020
The most Kaufmanesque, film that Charlie Kaufman has made by far. Before I give it a rating, (If that’s even possible) I think I might have to watch it one more time. There’s so much; Existential monologues, a whole ass film review of A Women Under the Influence, and surrealist imagery. But on a first time watch what I found most admirable, was the “Fuck it”, vibe Charlie Kaufman brought to this movie. He was bold and pretentious and absurd…
