100% disagree. There isn't a single scene in any of the 3 movies that makes me feel any sort of emotion. Well acted, good script, good cinematography, good direction, the list goes on, but I feel NOTHING when I watch it. To call it the best movie ever is impossible for me to do. It's a solid 7.5
@RyanTakes01 3 күн бұрын
7.5 is too generous. Maybe a 2 at best. Keep in mind that this is a boomer movie, and in the future, this will be completey obsolete

The Godfather (1972) is one of the most greatest gangster movies of all time. The story, performance's, musical score, direction, screenplay, editing, and cinematography was outstanding and incredible. It also gives a insightful and articulate representation of the term gangster, crime, and the portrayal of the Mafia life. Marlon Brando and Al Pacino did a phenomenal and spectacular job portraying Vito and Michael Corleone as they both put tons of emotion and depth into their roles. It was decent and to this day I still watch it. The Godfather (1972) is a true blue ultimate masterpiece in cinema. Francis Ford Coppola directed a classic that will be in our hearts forever. It never gets old.😍😎💯👍🏻

Interesting comments on the blocking. I haven’t seen it yet but caught some trailer on Twitter and was trying to figure out why the musical shots felt so off. It’s like too much floor space or an odd feeling of distance to the background characters in the shots. Also feels like a bit of a perspective challenge or maybe some subtly bad color grading choices between the real and virtual set elements in the shots.

What's up with all these people clicking on a video entitled "a technical review of wicked! Directing, color, art direction" and then being upset when you like...review the directing, color and art direction using technical language as the analytical framework for your video... I really appreciate the conciseness with which you presented your review. I'm watching a lot of folks' responses to the film so i can manage my expectations and have the best experience i can. Knowing that the color grading is drab before i park my butt in a movie theatre seat for nearly three hours will help avert the disappointed i would inevitably feel when the wizard of oz prequel movie looks like washed out doodoo

Really interesting notes on the art style and direction here, but notching it down to 3.5 seems heavy handed imo! I did notice the lack of visual contrast in the film, but I think one of the biggest problems was that compared to the original play, Glinda was portrayed very heavy handedly on screen to a point where it didn’t even seem like the focus was on Elphaba, only for them to forcibly drag it back to Elphie because of the plot. There was a lot of camera time for Ariana and Cynthia’s didn’t command the camera.

Wow color and cinematography have a huge weight on your overall view of film. In fact, I was genuinely surprised at the end when you said we should definitely see it after you complained about it for 11 minutes 😅. You have every right to your opinions but if this movie wasn’t colorful enough for you, I’m curious what is? As far as color goes does it need to be the Greatest Showman, La La Land, or Willy Wonka otherwise it’s a bust? I just saw it in 3D and I was blown away by the vivid greens, pinks, saturated iridescent purples and blues, not to mention the literally rainbow feilds of flowers they actually planted and grew for munchkin land. I guess I’m just surprised this is a critique anyone had for this film.
@AlyxaHellman 2 ай бұрын
@@josephgarner94 Yes, visual elements like color & the cinematography should have a huge weight on any film that’s adapted because the story is already guaranteed to be good. The only reason you’re changing the mediums is to now make it as visually best as you can, given the limitation of a Broadway stage. I think given the comparisons, it’s safe to say the film is objectively bleak-er, and not well directed for such a hyped about musical. But yes, I did say go see it because while it may be visually lackluster (in my opinion), it was funny, fun and obviously had amazing songs :-)

Weird review who wants hot pink all over the whole movie. It's like you want a LaLa Land in a movie that's a movie that has been around for ages. Wicked was colorful af but you're tearing it apart on personal bias alone due to older content you saw in other musicals. As someone who's never seen the play, I enjoyed it because we've all seen the original movie and this isn't the original, it's an origin story to get you to towards the original. I can't wait for part 2 because that's when it really goes down. How about you make your own version, we'd all like to sit around eating popcorn and nitpicking it as well.
@AlyxaHellman 2 ай бұрын
@@MM-bw1lo La La Land and the Greatest Showman are barely 8 years old and perfectly colored. West Side Story also came out 3 years ago. I wouldn’t consider those older, but to your point: yes old technicolor films - including the Wizard of Oz - are infinitely more colorful than Wicked. To my point, it’s not all about the color but it *is* all about the visuals, and they are objectively lackluster. I agree though, I’m excited for Part 2. It’s a fun story and as I said, I like the music!

I hate film students. The fishes , boxing and movie thing is so niche, that all it is is an Easter egg. In no way does it inform an average viewer in any way, since most people DON'T KNOW THIS STUFF. So if the things you like about a movie are niche Easter eggs, that's still not a good explanation as to why the movie is good.

My favorite movie he's made so far is probably Interstellar - I love how time and gravity was a part of the story. But also the acting and music made me like it alot. I got a chance to watch it on the big screen here in my home town, which was great since I missed it when it first released. Also, I watched Oppenheimer on the big screen, another great movie that I liked for the same reasons as Interstellar: Story, acting and music (Ludwig Göransson's "Can You Hear The Music" is still epic after listening to it like 500 times haha).

Said this, I agree that while many consider part 2 better, while I still think it's a masterpiece, it's still inferior to the "leaner" and more focused part 1. More importantly, part 1 is more COMPELLING, because it shows an actual downfall, not the continuation of one. Nice to see more fishy observations.
