“That’s too much power for one man to have.”

The eruption of violence at the end followed by one of the most beautiful tributes I’ve ever seen, preceded by Sam Cooke’s A Change Is Gonna Come—the essence of a complex man captured on film in devastatingly stunning fashion. One of the greatest tricks the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that Malcolm X was a violent man. A 7.7 average rating on IMDB is blasphemy, by the way. I’ve…

“It is the Gods who weep. They see us killing each other over and over since time began. They can’t save us from ourselves… Don’t cry. It’s how the world is made. Men prefer sorrow over joy, suffering over peace.

Have the Gods abandoned us—or is it we who have abandoned the Gods? A Shakespearean masterpiece of beyond epic proportions, a tragedy for the ages, an eternal flame that encapsulates every quality that made up one of cinema’s greatest minds.…

I feel like I was expecting a tad bit more in all aspects considering the praise, all in all though, Portrait of a Lady on Fire was a really endearing experience that offered a new perspective filled with complexities. There was a ton of emotion just beneath the surface, but I felt too much of…

“I have enjoyed the journey. The happiness of these days, I would have never known living in the castle. I've seen people as they are, without pretence. l've seen their beauty and their ugliness with my own eyes.
