Brokaback Mountain/God's Own Country

Brokeback Mountain and God's Own Country - Two Moments in Gay Liberation  Two romances between two men in the isolation of nature. One in the 1960s in the mountains of Wyoming, the other in the modern days on the hills of Yorkshire. Two similar stories, two different periods, two different outcomes. Brokeback Mountain and  God's Own Country are two films whose similarities are undeniable and they reveal and reflect two different moments in the history of gay liberation, and this is what I'll be trying to get at in this article. It's important to point out the fact that these two stories are about working-class people, which are the ones whose stories most reflect the social oppression of society. Through these two stories and the comparison between the two, we are able to understand the differences between the two periods they are set in and how gay liberation has progressed through the years. In Brokeback Mountain , we start when Ennis and Jack - played, respect

Wildlife - The Disintegration of a Family  What is the symptom of the failure of a family? Is there a cause for this phenomenon that affects so many of us? What is the reason for the behavior of adults? What is the effect of this on the children? In Wildlife we are invited to witness the disintegration of a family in the early '60s from the point of view of the child of the family and what he has to go through in order to fend for himself in such a tense environment.  This is a beautiful coming-of-age story like none other I have seen before, and it's dealt with such sensitivity by first-time-director Paul Dano, in one of the most impressive debut features of the past few years. With stunning, softly lit cinematography that both reflects so well the time period and makes the film feel modern and up-to-date and an incredible score, this is definitely a fascinating and intriguing masterpiece with some of the most interesting characters ever written. This is a reflection on w

Director's Style: Damien Chazelle

Damien Chazelle - The Reality of Dreams   He may only be 33 years old, with only four feature films under his belt, but he has already established himself as one of the most talented directors of our generation. He was referred to as "the Millenial Auteur" by The Hollywood Reporter , and rightfully so. He has already had two films nominated for Best Picture in the Academy Awards (and, hopefully, a third one this year), having already won one Oscar for Best Directing, becoming the youngest director to ever win such recognition. He is definitely already an auteur, and, in this article, I'll be exploring what connects his films. More specifically, I'll be talking about Whiplash , La La Land , and First Man  (I haven't seen Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench  yet, so I can't talk about it). I want to explore what do they have in common in terms of themes, messages, and techniques, and, through that, establish what may be called the "style" of Damien C
