I look at things differently now. I talk differently, i act differently and i seem to respond differently to life in general nowadays. For the better? Who really knows but me? And i just dont know yet. The good news it that i think for the moment that i'm starting to grow up into the business and starting to feed my imagination into my intelligence (what little of it i have) and it would seem that i am trying to justify the old decisions for liking my top five films from last year and it just isnt working.
I'm starting to see films for what they really are, the combination of many different workloads all thrust into the production pot to create a masterpiece of art. Therefore my decision is starting to change and i am slowly but surely rebuilding myself and my top five, shaping it into my views of enjoyment, passion and respect.
So far i have only been able to patch two together at the moment and that seems to be down to the cinematography of both.
First has to be a film which i have always admired but not so much as i do now, after studying the filmmaker i have learned to respect and even come to love his style of shooting, as he regards himself as both the DP and director.
This film is the 2002 adaption of Lem's Solaris.
The second of my choices has to be Michael Mann's greatest film by a long stretch.
Heat is true art in my eyes, a film which is composed completely of it's characters. Throughout the whole film the frame always compliments its characters and it just seems to fit perfectly. In my opinion Heat is just the right length to suck you into the story and to keep you full of anticipation right up until the final sequence where we are suddenly fulfilled by the inevitable ending.
Nothing set in stone. And theres a lot more thought to be put into this before I completely crack whats going on up there just yet.
