Two awesome movies

I wrote this last week...but instead of publishing it, I just saved it, Sorry!!

So I watched two AWESOME movies this past week and who better to share it with than my TCF class? Yeah, I couldn't think of anyone else better either.

First one was The Wackness, directed by Jonathan Levine. This movie was about a pot dealing teen in NYC in 1994. It has some great lighting in it. The lighting definitely reflects what is going on the scene at the time. In the second picture, it looks promising and happy because it is. The place where he gets the drugs to deal is in a very dark sketchy place, perfect location and lighting for the place. It's got one streak of light from above, lighting pretty much the whole place and especially the place where he plays music and keeps the pot.


Second was Requiem for a Dream, directed by Darren Aronofsky. This movie was sad, and kinda gross, and terrifying, and you just can't walk away from it. Especially as Sara gets more and more crazy, her scenes get SO AWESOME. Like the second picture, shot with a fish-eye lens i'm guessing, was just sooo awful that I loved it. and I mean awful in the best way, like the way that you look at a heroin addicts arm about to be cut off and you just want to cry and feel all cringy and yet you just can't look away. Basically, watch this movie.
